Kardinya has an estimated 10,733 residents, up from 9,137 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,596 people, or 17.5%. Growth has averaged 2.6% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. 132 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 95.0% of that increase. That puts 2,451 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Kardinya has an estimated resident count of roughly 10,733, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS demographic updates alongside validated new addresses post-Census. Comparing this with the 2021 Census figure of 9,137 people shows an expansion of 1,596 people (17.5%). This adjustment builds upon an ERP estimate of 10,730 from the ABS release in June 2025 and 132 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Across the suburb of Kardinya, population density stands at 2,450 persons per square kilometer, placing the community in the upper quartile across AreaSearch's nationwide benchmarking.
Kardinya's 17.5% increase post-2021 outperformed both the wider SA3 territory and the national average (9.5%), positioning it among the broader region's standout growth markets. This demographic expansion stemmed predominantly from overseas migration, which made up around 95.0% of recent population additions. In assessing future trajectory, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections across individual SA2 boundaries, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For locations outside this dataset, as well as all projections past 2032, models draw upon cohort-specific growth projections from the ABS Greater Capital Region release (issued in 2023, utilizing 2022 data). Demographic forecasts suggest the suburb of Kardinya will record population expansion above median levels compared to other analysed statistical areas. Projections through 2041 anticipate a gain of 1,245 persons, translating to an overall growth rate of 11.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
503 new dwellings have been approved in Kardinya over the past five years, an average of 100 a year. That places the area in the 93rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 70 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 43% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 207, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows residential building permits in Kardinya running at approximately 100 new homes annually. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), approvals reached 503 homes, with 207 logged during FY-25 to date. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of 3.6 incoming residents arrived per dwelling built, signaling that underlying demand continues to outpace residential completions, a dynamic that commonly accelerates buyer competition and values. With new dwellings carrying an average build value of $622,000, construction activity remains tilted toward higher-tier residential development.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $333.1 million during this financial year, underscoring substantial non-residential investment. Dwelling creation in Kardinya outpaces the Greater Perth benchmark, exceeding the regional average per capita by 29.0% over the 5 year period, thereby maintaining buyer availability while bolstering local asset values. Medium-to-high density structures account for 57.0% of recent approvals, while detached houses comprise 43.0%. This emphasis on attached stock broadens entry options for first-time purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. This pattern diverges from the established local stock, where standalone houses represent 86.0%, highlighting land constraints and an evolving demand for varied, cost-effective residential formats. There are roughly 89 people per dwelling approval, denoting steady market expansion. Long-term forecasts point to Kardinya gaining 1,242 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Under prevailing construction trajectories, incoming residential supply appears well-calibrated to accommodate prospective demand, sustaining supportive purchasing conditions and potentially opening room for demographic gains above baseline projections.

Hug Homes
Modular transportable homes for social and affordable housing with a minimal environmental impact, plus skills training for the unemployed and vulnerable.
6,157 residents of Kardinya are employed, from a labour force of 6,226. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 67.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 8,927, about 83% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Workforce analysis by AreaSearch reveals that Kardinya maintains a skilled labour pool with strong participation in key service sectors, characterized by an exceptionally low unemployment rate of 1.1% and steady labor conditions over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,157. The local jobless rate tracking at 1.1% remains 3.1% below Greater Perth's 4.2%, while labor force participation stands slightly below the metropolitan benchmark at 67.2% compared to 69.9%. In addition, 8.3% of workers operated from home at the Census, a metric potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions.
Locally resident employees are most heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, education & training, alongside professional & technical services. Kardinya demonstrates notable industry specialization across education & training, with employment concentration running at 1.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, mining represents an under-indexed sector, engaging only 4.9% of the local workforce relative to 7.0% across Greater Perth. The area's largely residential fabric suggests that local commercial employment capacity is modest compared to the total resident worker volume recorded at the Census. Examining SALM and ABS statistical records over the 12 months to March 2026 shows local labour force participants contracting by 0.5% while aggregate employment fell by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth recorded an employment expansion of 2.0% and a 2.5% increase in total labour force, accompanied by a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context for prospective employment trends within Kardinya. Across Australia, workforce size is projected to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by industry. Aligning these sectoral projections with Kardinya's occupation breakdown implies local employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a direct weighting model for baseline illustration without incorporating local demographic forecasts.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 132 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,137 at the 2021 Census → 10,733 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL50725). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
