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.

Frequently Asked Questions - Population
209 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Pleasant (WA) over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 43 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 56% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 23, well below that longer-run average.

Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals across corresponding statistical divisions indicates that Mount Pleasant averages approximately 41 dwellings approved for development annually, accumulating an estimated 209 homes over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 23 approvals during FY-25 to date. Construction has averaged an expected cost of $1,109,000 per dwelling, highlighting an emphasis by builders on high-end, premium residential stock. Strong underlying property demand is underscored by an average intake of 2.8 people per year for every newly built residence across the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25.
Meanwhile, non-residential building activity remains modest, with $4.9 million in commercial approvals recorded in the current financial year. On a per-capita basis, building activity in Mount Pleasant aligns closely with Greater Perth, maintaining balance with adjoining localities even as approval volumes have cooled somewhat in recent times. The composition of new residential permits consists of 56.0% standalone homes and 44.0% attached dwellings, reflecting a growing presence of medium-density formats that provide varied housing choices spanning expansive detached properties to entry-level compact dwellings. A ratio of approximately 376 people per approval points to an established, mature urban setting. Long-term projections indicate that Mount Pleasant will add 1,222 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figure. While local residential construction continues to track population increases at a reasonable rate, prospective purchasers could encounter tighter market conditions as the community grows.

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. The working-day population is estimated at 6,396, about 77% 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
Mount Pleasant features an exceptionally qualified labor pool with a prominent concentration in professional vocations, maintaining a jobless rate of merely 1.5% according to AreaSearch regional data compilations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 4,626, keeping local unemployment 2.7% below the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%. Participation in the labor force stands at 67.1%, trailing the wider metropolitan mark of 69.9%. Remote work was reported by 13.4% of working residents at the Census, although these figures were subject to pandemic-era conditions. The primary sectors supporting local workers are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, as well as education & training.
Professional & technical services exhibit distinct local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.5 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, construction accounts for 7.3% of the resident workforce, remaining lower than the 9.3% observed across Greater Perth. The comparative balance between resident workers and local jobs indicates a largely dormitory suburban environment with few internal employment hubs. According to ABS and SALM metrics compiled by AreaSearch across broader statistical boundaries, the twelve months leading to March 2026 saw the local workforce contract by 1.6% alongside a 1.7% drop in employed persons, nudging the unemployment rate up by 0.1 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Perth recorded employment expansion of 2.0%, labor force growth of 2.5%, and an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context on potential future labor trends for Mount Pleasant. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry trajectories vary considerably. Modeling these sector-specific forecasts against Mount Pleasant's occupational distribution indicates prospective employment growth of 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighted projection that excludes 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 — 157 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,456 at the 2021 Census → 8,258 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.
