Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Mullaloo

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Mullaloo has an estimated 6,953 residents, up from 6,190 at the 2021 Census — a change of 763 people, or 12.3%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 69.0% of that increase. That puts 2,265 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 post-Census validated addresses, the suburb of Mullaloo has an estimated resident base of roughly 6,953 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 763 people (12.3%) from the 6,190 residents documented in the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated from an estimated count of 6,948 individuals following AreaSearch's review of the ABS ERP figures from June 2025 together with 20 newly confirmed addresses after the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 2,264 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch.

Furthermore, the 12.3% uptick since the 2021 census surpassed both the broader SA3 area and the national rate of 9.5%, positioning the locality as a regional leader in expansion. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary catalyst, delivering around 69.0% of recent population additions, while interstate arrivals and natural increases also made positive contributions. SA2-level projections released by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to 2022) form the foundation of AreaSearch's modeling. Where SA2 coverage is absent, and for projections beyond 2032 across all geographies, age-cohort rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (utilising 2022 figures) are applied. On the basis of these structural demographic expectations, the suburb of Mullaloo is anticipated to track above national median expansion, gaining 928 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 boundaries, which equates to an overall rise of 13.3% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Mullaloo

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

98 new dwellings have been approved in Mullaloo over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, broadly in line with 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

ABS residential building consent statistics compiled by AreaSearch indicate that annual approvals in Mullaloo have averaged roughly 19 dwellings. Across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), 98 residences gained approval, including 15 during FY-25 to date. An average intake of 6.8 new residents per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) points to significant supply constraints relative to demand, placing upward pressure on local pricing. Concurrently, newly approved residences carry an average construction valuation of $573,000, illustrating an emphasis among developers on higher-tier, executive-style homes.

Commercial development approvals reached only $118,000 this financial year, underscoring the distinctly residential character of the neighborhood. On a per-capita basis, residential building approvals in Mullaloo align with Greater Perth, keeping the local supply rate in step with the broader metropolitan area. However, development activity trails the Australian benchmark, reflecting an established suburban landscape with possible zoning and planning boundaries. Detached houses comprise 88.0% of upcoming stock, while medium and high-density formats represent 12.0%, reinforcing an orientation toward family-oriented living with generous allotment sizes. A density of approximately 372 residents per approval underlines the mature development profile of the locality. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Mullaloo is projected to grow by 923 residents through to 2041. If residential construction volumes remain at current levels, housing additions may fail to match population intake, potentially heightening competition among purchasers and sustaining upward pricing trends.

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 — 20 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,190 at the 2021 Census → 6,953 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 (SAL51047). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Mullaloo suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Mullaloo page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Mullaloo data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
