Sales Detail
Murdoch has an estimated 3,691 residents, up from 3,352 at the 2021 Census — a change of 339 people, or 10.1%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 95.0% of that increase. That puts 866 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 demographic releases and post-Census verified address additions, the suburb of Murdoch has an estimated population of 3,691 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 339 people (10.1%) compared to the 3,352 people recorded at the 2021 Census. Such growth is deduced from the June 2025 ABS ERP release indicating a local headcount of 3,689, alongside 32 validated new addresses identified since the Census benchmark. Consequently, the suburb of Murdoch registers a population density of 866 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch.
Outpacing the 9.5% nationwide benchmark, the 10.1% expansion achieved by the suburb of Murdoch since the 2021 census establishes it among regional leaders. This demographic expansion was overwhelmingly powered by net overseas arrivals, which constituted roughly 95.0% of recent population gains. Demographic projections mapped by AreaSearch utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets pegged to a 2022 baseline across individual SA2 zones. Where local figures are unavailable, and for all territorial forecasts extending beyond 2032, calculations integrate cohort-specific growth projections from the ABS Greater Capital Region models (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Long-term outlooks place the suburb of Murdoch in the highest tier of Australian statistical zones for prospective expansion, with SA2 modelling indicating an influx of 870 persons through to 2041, amounting to an overall gain of 23.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval records apportioned from statistical areas indicate that residential construction approvals in Murdoch have remained exceptionally scarce over recent cycles, tallying an estimated 4 homes across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) alongside 41 so far in FY-25. Because an average of 3.3 people per year arrived per completed residence throughout the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local dwelling demand substantially exceeds new construction volume, typically intensifying buyer competition and supporting higher valuations, while newly approved builds carry an average value of $622,000, illustrating an emphasis by builders on high-end, premium developments.
Per-capita residential construction in Murdoch trails the Greater Perth standard by 54.0%, highlighting a subdued level of development. While constrained supply generally buttresses values and absorption for established properties, building volumes have shown recent acceleration. Overall output also sits below countrywide metrics, demonstrating local market maturity and potential physical or zoning impediments. The current composition of building approvals encompasses 11.0% standalone homes and 89.0% townhouses or apartments. Emphasizing higher-density formats provides more accessible price thresholds geared towards first-time purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. This represents a marked departure from the prevailing housing stock (currently 78.0% houses), addressing evolving lifestyle preferences, affordability goals, and limited land availability. The locality records approximately 163 people per dwelling approval, underscoring an expanding market.

1,684 residents of Murdoch are employed, from a labour force of 1,793. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 53.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,270, about 2.8 times 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
Statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch show that Murdoch features a qualified resident workforce, considerable representation across vital community services, and an unemployment rate of 6.1%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,684, while local joblessness exceeds the 4.2% rate in Greater Perth by 1.9%, and local participation stands at 53.0%, trailing the 69.9% recorded across Greater Perth. Census records reveal that 8.8% of workers conducted their duties from home, though potential distortion from Covid-19 restrictions must be acknowledged. Health care & social assistance, retail trade, as well as accommodation & food serve as the leading employment sectors for local residents.
The accommodation & food sector exhibits an exceptionally strong presence, employing workers at 1.7 times the broader metropolitan rate. In contrast, construction represents 5.1% of employment, remaining below the 9.3% regional benchmark. Recording 4.1 workers for every resident at the Census, Murdoch operates as a key employment destination, drawing in workforce participants from surrounding suburbs. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, the labour force decreased by 2.1% alongside a 2.5% employment decline, causing unemployment to rise by 0.3 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Perth recorded employment growth of 2.0%, labour force growth of 2.5%, with unemployment rising 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Murdoch. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Murdoch's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account 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 — 32 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,352 at the 2021 Census → 3,691 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.
