The suburb's growth rate of 17.0% since the 2021 census exceeded both the national average (8.9%) and its SA4 region. Natural growth contributed approximately 44.0% of overall population gains, with overseas migration and interstate migration also being positive factors.

AreaSearch is using ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data. By 2041, an above median population growth is projected for Landsdale, with an expected increase of 4,172 persons reflecting a total gain of 20.3% over the 17 years.

With around 241 people per dwelling approval, Landsdale indicates a developing market. AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate projects Landsdale to grow by 3,660 residents through to 2041.

Landsdale ranks among the top 25% of areas assessed nationally for overall employment performance

Landsdale has a well-educated workforce with strong representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors. Its unemployment rate is 2.5%, with an estimated employment growth of 4.2% over the past year, as per AreaSearch's aggregation of statistical area data.

As of June 2025, there are 10,463 residents employed, with an unemployment rate of 1.3% below Greater Perth's rate of 3.9%. Workforce participation is high at 76.1%, compared to Greater Perth's 65.2%. Key industries for employment among residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Retail trade has a particularly high share of employment, at 1.3 times the regional level.

Conversely, education & training has limited presence with 7.3% employment compared to the regional average of 9.2%. The area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities, as indicated by the count of Census working population versus resident population. During the year to June 2025, employment levels increased by 4.2%, and labour force increased by 4.0%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 3.7% and labour force growth of 3.8%, with a slight rise in unemployment rate of 0.1 percentage point. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 offer insights into potential future demand within Landsdale. These projections suggest national employment will expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with growth rates varying significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Landsdale's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localised population projections.
