Sales Detail
Maddington has an estimated 14,818 residents, up from 12,419 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,399 people, or 19.3%. Growth has averaged 3.0% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. 198 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 68.0% of that increase. That puts 1,351 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 revisions alongside address validations following the Census, the suburb of Maddington is estimated to have a population of approximately 14,818 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,399 people (19.3%) compared to the 12,419 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is drawn from an estimated resident population of 14,687 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 198 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. At this scale, population density stands at 1,350 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the benchmark across nationwide locations monitored by AreaSearch.
The 19.3% expansion recorded in the suburb of Maddington since the 2021 census outstripped both the wider SA3 territory and the 9.5% national benchmark, establishing the locality as a regional growth outperformer. Gains were chiefly underpinned by net overseas arrivals, which accounted for around 68.0% of the overall increase, though natural growth as well as interstate migration also delivered positive contributions. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for individual SA2 localities. Where SA2 figures are absent, and to model trends beyond 2032 across all zones, AreaSearch applies cohort-specific expansion rates published in the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (issued in 2023 from 2022 data). Factoring in anticipated demographic changes, the suburb of Maddington is projected to experience population expansion tracking above the median of locations analyzed by AreaSearch, adding 2,596 persons through to 2041 under consolidated SA2 projections, representing an overall 16-year increase of 16.6%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
446 new dwellings have been approved in Maddington over the past five years, an average of 89 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 74 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 82% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 52, 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
AreaSearch's review of ABS building approval records apportioned from statistical areas indicates that Maddington has registered roughly 89 residential dwelling approvals per annum, amounting to approximately 446 residential units over the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 52 approvals have been lodged. With an influx averaging 5.5 new residents annually for every residence built between FY-21 and FY-25, demand continues to outpace additional dwelling stock, a dynamic that generally fuels heightened buyer competition and price appreciation. Concurrently, newly approved dwellings show an expected construction cost averaging $358,000, aligning with regional standards.
In addition, commercial approvals valued at $41.2 million have been lodged during the current financial year, demonstrating robust activity across the commercial sector. Relative to Greater Perth, residential construction in Maddington has run at a somewhat elevated pace, tracking 29.0% above the regional per-capita benchmark over the 5 year period, which maintains viable opportunities for purchasers whilst supporting demand across existing housing stock. Freestanding houses constitute 82.0% of freshly approved stock while townhouses or apartments make up 18.0%, preserving the traditional suburban environment through a concentration of family-oriented dwellings suited to those wanting greater space. The locality records roughly 215 people per dwelling approval, pointing to ongoing capacity for future development. According to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Maddington is anticipated to see an influx of 2,465 residents through to 2041. Ongoing construction volumes appear well-matched to these future population requirements, underpinning balanced market conditions without triggering substantial pricing strain.

Maddington Community Health Precinct
Community health facility providing primary healthcare services, allied health, and community health programs for the Maddington and surrounding areas, strengthening local healthcare infrastructure.
6,821 residents of Maddington are employed, from a labour force of 7,510. Unemployment sits at 9.2%, with participation at 63.4%. 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, 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 13,049, about 88% 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
A capable local labour pool characterizes Maddington, marked by notable industrial and manufacturing representation, alongside an unemployment rate of 9.2% and a 1.2% rise in estimated employment over the preceding year, as compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area metrics. As of March 2026, employed residents count 6,821, while joblessness sits 5.0% above the 4.2% figure recorded across Greater Perth, highlighting potential for improvement, and labour force participation is considerably subdued at 63.4% versus 69.9% across Greater Perth. Census findings indicated that merely 3.5% of working residents carried out their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be taken into account.
Key sectors employing local workers include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community exhibits a distinct specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, where the local workforce share reaches 2.0 times the broader metropolitan standard. In contrast, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, engaging only 4.4% of workers in Maddington relative to 8.2% across Greater Perth. As evidenced by the disparity between the local working population and resident employee figures at the Census, this largely residential district provides a constrained number of local employment options. AreaSearch evaluated data from SALM and ABS over a twelve-month period ending March 2026, which revealed that employment grew by 1.2% while the labour force expanded by 2.2%, resulting in an unemployment rate increase of 0.9 percentage points. This trend stands in contrast to Greater Perth, where employment climbed by 2.0%, the labour force grew by 2.5%, and unemployment increased by 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia published national employment forecasts for Mar-26 to help gauge future demand in Maddington. These projections span five and ten year periods and have been overlaid onto the local employment mix to estimate growth patterns. National employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though growth varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Maddington's current employment composition, local employment is projected to rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years. This calculation represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised population projections.

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 — 198 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,419 at the 2021 Census → 14,818 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 (SAL50873). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
