This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Landsdale has an estimated 17,923 residents, up from 15,401 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,522 people, or 16.4%. Growth has averaged 2.9% a year over five years, faster than 86% of areas nationally. 220 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 44.0% of that increase. That puts 2,679 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside newly verified local addresses since the Census, the suburb of Landsdale has an estimated population of roughly 17,923 as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 2,522 people (16.4%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 15,401 people. That progression is calculated from an estimated resident count of 17,890 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 220 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With 2,679 persons per square kilometer, the suburb's density ranks within the top quartile of Australian regions analyzed by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 16.4% expansion recorded since the 2021 census outstripped both the SA4 region and the national benchmark (9.5%), positioning the suburb of Landsdale among the leading growth areas regionally. Natural increase served as the primary contributor, generating roughly 44.0% of recent population additions, while interstate and overseas migration also delivered positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 location rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline. For locations outside this coverage, as well as for all projections beyond 2032, growth rates across age segments from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (anchored to 2022 data) are applied. In terms of future demographics, the suburb of Landsdale is slated for above-median growth relative to national statistical zones, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an addition of 3,691 persons by 2041, which represents an overall increase of 20.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
540 new dwellings have been approved in Landsdale over the past five years, an average of 108 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 61 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 51, well below 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 indicates that Landsdale has averaged around 108 residential approvals annually, yielding roughly 540 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 51 approvals have been logged. With an influx of 7.9 new residents annually per constructed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand continues to heavily outpace building volumes, driving up buyer competition and asset pricing. Newly built residences average $505,000 in estimated construction cost—exceeding broader regional benchmarks and highlighting a focus on quality builds.
Concurrently, commercial approvals have reached $6.8 million in the current financial year, demonstrating relatively restrained commercial building activity. Residential development in Landsdale is substantially lower on a per capita basis compared to Greater Perth, tracking 69.0% below the regional norm. This subdued supply pipeline generally provides solid support for existing home values and buyer demand. The composition of approved dwellings is overwhelmingly suburban, with detached houses accounting for 95.0% and attached dwellings making up 5.0%, maintaining an appeal for purchasers seeking larger standalone footprints. With roughly 328 people per approval, the local property market demonstrates characteristics of maturity. Looking forward, demographic forecasts indicate Landsdale will add 3,658 residents through to 2041 from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly baseline. If prevailing construction rates persist, upcoming residential stock should sufficiently satisfy demand, offering positive conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond current baseline projections.

10,717 residents of Landsdale are employed, from a labour force of 11,056. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 80.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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 13,989, about 78% 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
The local workforce in Landsdale is well-educated, with notable concentration across the industrial and manufacturing sectors. AreaSearch statistical aggregations show an unemployment rate of just 3.1% alongside an estimated 3.3% rise in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 10,717, with local joblessness sitting 1.1% beneath the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%. Participation in the labour force is exceptionally elevated at 80.3%, compared to 69.9% across Greater Perth. Census findings indicated that 7.1% of workers were based at home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Retail trade demonstrates a pronounced local concentration, capturing a workforce share 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, education & training accounts for a smaller footprint, employing 7.3% of workers locally against 9.2% regionally. Comparison of resident counts with Census-recorded local jobs suggests that this largely residential community provides limited employment opportunities within its own boundaries. Over the twelve months leading to March 2026, data from AreaSearch combining SALM and ABS figures show that employment grew by 3.3% and the labour force expanded by 3.8%, which led to a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0%, labour force growth of 2.5%, and an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia provides national employment forecasts from Mar-26 that can help anticipate future demand in Landsdale. These forecasts span five and ten year periods and have been compared with local employment data to estimate future growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though these figures vary widely across different industries. When applied to Landsdale's current employment composition, this suggests local employment will rise by 6.3% over five years and by 13.1% over ten years. This estimate relies on a straightforward weighting method for illustration only and does not incorporate local population 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 — 220 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,401 at the 2021 Census → 17,923 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.
