Sales Detail
Midvale has an estimated 3,356 residents, up from 2,283 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,073 people, or 47.0%. Growth has averaged 8.9% a year over five years, faster than 97% of areas nationally. 275 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 66.0% of that increase. That puts 1,161 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 broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Midvale has an estimated count of approximately 3,356 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,283 people, this demonstrates an expansion of 1,073 people (47.0%). This figure stems from a resident baseline of 3,332 calculated via the latest ABS ERP release in June 2025 alongside 275 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The suburb's density stands at 1,161 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with benchmarks across AreaSearch study areas.
Surpassing both the broader SA3 territory and the national average (9.5%), Midvale's 47.0% surge positions it among the leading growth locations regionally. This demographic surge was largely steered by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 66.0% of recent population additions, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also provided positive contributions. Projections for the suburb of Midvale incorporate joint ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2-level modeling published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas not covered by those datasets and for projections beyond 2032, figures apply cohort-specific growth rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections issued in 2023 utilizing 2022 inputs. Looking forward, local demographic expansion is expected to track above the national median, with aggregated SA2 estimates pointing to a rise of 416 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 11.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
436 new dwellings have been approved in Midvale over the past five years, an average of 87 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 26 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 77 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 113, 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 indicates that the area averages approximately 87 approved residential dwellings per year, totaling an estimated 436 homes across the prior 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 113 recorded to date in FY-25. With roughly 3 incoming occupants annually per home built during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local housing demand heavily outstrips incoming volume, typically fostering competitive purchasing conditions and upward pressure on property values. Newly constructed residential properties show an average construction cost of $379,000. In addition, commercial approvals have reached $21.9 million during this financial year, reflecting sustained commercial investment.
Per resident, construction volume in the area surpasses Greater Perth by 497.0%, offering significant variety for prospective buyers. This rate sits well above nationwide figures, highlighting substantial interest from property developers. Detached houses account for 92.0% of upcoming stock, while medium and high-density housing makes up 8.0%, reinforcing the established suburban neighborhood fabric oriented toward family buyers. Recording about 39 people per approved home, the district demonstrates clear traits of an active growth corridor. Demographic projections suggest an additional 392 residents will be added locally through to 2041 based on recent AreaSearch quarterly modeling. Should building continue at prevailing volumes, residential development appears well-positioned to satisfy housing requirements, supporting favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

Future stages include the Residential Park public open space, the planned Swan Valley Fresh Markets expansion (medical centre and around 130 apartments), and a Providence Lifestyle vertical lifestyle village for over 55s. Cushman and Wakefield have been appointed selling agents for the first two lots released to public sale, with Council resolving in February 2026 to sell Lot 9509 on Junction Parade. The redevelopment is anticipated to take 10 to 15 years and is projected to deliver $990 million to the local economy, $2.2 billion to the WA economy, and around 4,000 new jobs.
1,807 residents of Midvale are employed, from a labour force of 1,949. Unemployment sits at 7.3%, with participation at 72.0%. 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 3,866, about 115% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 labor pool exhibits notable technical skills, featuring prominent participation in industrial and manufacturing fields, alongside an unemployment rate of 7.3% and estimated annual jobs growth of 9.4% per AreaSearch aggregated metrics. As of March 2026, employed residents count 1,807 individuals. Joblessness stands 3.1% higher than the Greater Perth rate of 4.2%, presenting opportunities for workforce gains, while the participation rate remains solid at 72.0% against 69.9% across Greater Perth. Census records show a modest 2.7% of workers operating from home, though pandemic lockdown circumstances influenced this metric. Leading industries of employment for local workers include retail trade, accommodation & food, and health care & social assistance.
Transport, postal & warehousing shows pronounced local specialization, employing workers at 2.0 times the broader metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical occupations account for only 3.1% of the workforce, trailing the 8.2% registered across Greater Perth. A ratio of 0.9 workers per resident at the Census indicates healthy local job availability. Review of ABS and SALM data over the year leading to March 2026 indicates that employment expanded by 9.4% while the labor force grew by 9.7%, shifting the jobless rate upward by 0.2 percentage points. Across Greater Perth, employment grew by 2.0% and the workforce expanded by 2.5%, lifting unemployment by 0.4 percentage points. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for local demand prospects. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Applying these industry weights to the local workforce structure indicates prospective employment gains of 6.0% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (calculated as a simple weighted extrapolation without factoring in local population adjustments).

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 — 275 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,283 at the 2021 Census → 3,356 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 (SAL50948). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
