Sales Detail
Langford has an estimated 6,062 residents, up from 5,505 at the 2021 Census — a change of 557 people, or 10.1%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 70.0% of that increase. That puts 1,871 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 evaluations combining regional ABS population statistics with 11 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census, the suburb of Langford has an estimated resident count of 6,062 as of Aug 2026. This figure marks an addition of 557 people (10.1%) compared to the 5,505 people documented in the 2021 Census, building upon the June 2025 ABS ERP estimate of 6,003 residents. The suburb of Langford features a population density of 1,871 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds benchmarks recorded across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the local 10.1% expansion rate surpassed the 9.5% national average since the 2021 census, positioning the suburb of Langford ahead of regional counterparts.
Most of this demographic expansion stemmed from overseas migration, which comprised approximately 70.0% of total inbound resident gains across recent reporting periods. Utilising ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections released in 2024 (anchored on a 2022 base year) alongside cohort-specific growth rates from the 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset (using 2022 data) for remaining intervals post-2032, the suburb of Langford is forecast to experience demographic growth above national statistical area medians. Projections indicate the suburb of Langford will expand by 827 persons to 2041 across aggregated SA2 boundaries, representing an overall gain of 12.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
41 new dwellings have been approved in Langford over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 20, 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
Examining ABS residential approval figures across statistical boundaries, AreaSearch notes that Langford has averaged approximately 8 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 41 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 20 approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 4 new residents arrived annually per newly built home, creating a pronounced shortfall where construction trails demand, fostering heightened purchaser competition and price inflation while dwellings reflect an average expected construction cost of $411,000. Additionally, non-residential building remains subdued, with $2.2 million recorded in commercial approvals this financial year.
Residential building volumes in Langford sit significantly below broader metropolitan patterns, trailing the per capita average for Greater Perth by 53.0%. Although construction activity has gained momentum recently, this relative lack of supply usually reinforces pricing and interest across established dwellings while reflecting local maturity and possible planning constraints below nationwide levels. Compositionally, approvals encompass 75.0% detached dwellings alongside 25.0% attached dwellings, preserving the prevailing suburban setting tailored for families prioritising living space. Meanwhile, a metric of around 254 people per approval underscores an evolving residential market. Based on recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Langford is anticipated to accommodate 768 additional residents through to 2041. Given prevailing development activity, new housing delivery could encounter difficulties keeping pace with expanding numbers, which may amplify buyer competition and bolster property values.

2,917 residents of Langford are employed, from a labour force of 3,181. Unemployment sits at 8.3%, with participation at 63.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,927, about 81% 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
Langford has a skilled workforce, with diverse sector representation, an unemployment rate of 8.3%, and 0.7% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,917 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 4.1% above Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, showing room for improvement, and workforce participation lags significantly (63.5% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%). Based on Census responses, a low 4.2% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Locally resident workers are heavily represented across retail trade, accommodation & food, and health care & social assistance. Transport, postal & warehousing constitutes a major point of concentration, capturing an employment proportion 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, mining represents an under-indexed sector, engaging only 3.7% of local personnel compared to 7.0% throughout Greater Perth. Overall, the balance between Census working population and resident counts highlights limited local employment opportunities within this largely residential precinct. Reviewing combined ABS and SALM statistical data over the previous 12-month timeframe, local jobs grew by 0.7% while the labour pool enlarged by 1.5%, contributing to an unemployment uptick of 0.7 percentage points. Over the equivalent period, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0% and its labour force grow by 2.5%, with unemployment lifting 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia (Mar-26) details nationwide employment expanding by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations by sector. When modeled against the local industry baseline via simple weighting extrapolation without localized population projections, Langford's workforce is projected to grow by 6.0% across five years and 12.9% over ten years.

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 — 11 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,505 at the 2021 Census → 6,062 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 (SAL50833). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
