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.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Mount Lawley records an estimated population of approximately 13,057, derived from AreaSearch evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside 125 validated new addresses identified following the Census. This represents an expansion of 1,729 people (15.3%) from the 11,328 people recorded in the 2021 Census, building on an estimated resident population of 12,992 calculated after the ABS ERP release in June 2025. With a population density of 3,008 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks within the top quartile of national areas reviewed by AreaSearch.
Outpacing the 9.5% national benchmark, the 15.3% increase recorded since the 2021 census positions the suburb of Mount Lawley at the forefront of regional expansion, with net overseas migration generating roughly 86.0% of these recent gains. Utilising ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a foundation), supplemented by ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region cohort projections (based on 2022 data) for remaining zones and post-2032 modeling, future trends point toward above-median demographic expansion relative to areas tracked by AreaSearch. Between baseline figures and 2041, aggregated SA2 estimates project the suburb of Mount Lawley to expand by 1,719 persons, amounting to an overall 16-year increase of 12.7%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
231 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Lawley over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 62, 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
Over the preceding 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, building consent records assessed by AreaSearch indicate that Mount Lawley averaged roughly 46 residential dwellings approved annually, accumulating to 231 homes, with FY-25 to date logging 62 approvals. During this 5-year timeframe, approximately 7 new residents arrived for each dwelling built, creating an imbalance where local demand substantially exceeds newly constructed supply and drives upward pricing pressure. The average construction cost of $603,000 per dwelling indicates that builders are focusing heavily on higher-end, premium residential projects, while local non-residential development remains buoyant with $88.0 million recorded in commercial approvals for the current financial year.
Residential building activity is divided between detached houses at 45.0% and medium to high-density structures at 55.0%. This emphasis on higher-density construction offers accessible pathways for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors, with an average ratio of around 236 people per approval marking a shifting local property landscape. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Mount Lawley is on track to gain 1,654 residents leading up to 2041. Although new building activity continues to track the projected expansion at a steady rate, purchasers may face intensifying market rivalry as local numbers climb.

7,902 residents of Mount Lawley are employed, from a labour force of 8,344. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 73.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% 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 11,666, about 89% 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
Aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch shows Mount Lawley maintaining a highly qualified workforce with an unemployment rate of 5.3% and annual employment growth estimated at 1.1%. As of March 2026, employed locals total 7,902 individuals, while the jobless rate sits 1.1% higher than the 4.2% recorded across Greater Perth. Labor force participation stands at 73.6% (compared to 69.9% regionally), and 11.8% of employed persons indicated working from home at the Census, though pandemic restrictions during that period should be noted. Major sectors employing local residents comprise professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The professional & technical industry displays notable local concentration, capturing 1.9 times the metropolitan share of employment. Conversely, construction engages only 5.6% of local workers compared to 9.3% across Greater Perth, and Census comparisons between resident workers and local jobs suggest substantial outward commuting. Data from SALM and the ABS over a 12-month span indicates local employment grew by 1.1% while the workforce expanded by 3.0%, resulting in an unemployment rate rise of 1.8 percentage points (compared to Greater Perth's 2.0% jobs growth, 2.5% labor expansion, and 0.4 percentage point uptick). Aligning the area's workforce with national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 (which anticipate nationwide employment expanding by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years), weighted industry modeling estimates local job numbers could rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, representing a sector-weighted baseline that excludes local demographic 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 — 125 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,328 at the 2021 Census → 13,057 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 (SAL51021). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
