Orelia has an estimated 4,999 residents, up from 4,535 at the 2021 Census — a change of 464 people, or 10.2%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 1,706 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Orelia has an estimated population of approximately 4,999, based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS updates for the surrounding region and post-Census validated address counts. This represents an expansion of 464 residents, or 10.2%, compared to the 4,535 individuals recorded at the 2021 Census. AreaSearch arrived at this figure by examining the ABS Estimated Resident Population release from June 2025 (4,933 residents) alongside 17 validated new addresses added following the Census. The suburb of Orelia exhibits a population density of 1,706 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch.
Outperforming the wider Australian growth rate of 9.5%, the suburb of Orelia's 10.2% increase establishes it among the faster-growing localities in the vicinity. Overseas arrivals served as the primary catalyst, delivering around 53.0% of total demographic additions in recent times, supported further by positive contributions from natural increase and interstate movements. Projections developed by Geoscience Australia and the ABS from 2024, anchored to a 2022 baseline, are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For unmapped zones and projections extending beyond 2032, models incorporate age-cohort trajectory figures published in the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (utilising 2022 data). Demographic forecasting indicates that the suburb of Orelia is tracking toward above-median expansion relative to other statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch. By 2041, aggregated SA2 projections suggest the suburb of Orelia will add 601 residents, culminating in an overall demographic rise of 10.7% across the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
104 new dwellings have been approved in Orelia over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 90% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 39, 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
Statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch from ABS building approvals indicate that Orelia consistently logs roughly 20 approved residential projects annually, accumulating to an estimated 104 dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 39 building permits have been granted. New dwelling construction costs average $374,000, aligning with regional standards, while an average influx of 1.7 inbound residents per new dwelling annually between FY-21 and FY-25 highlights well-aligned supply and demand dynamics that foster balanced conditions. Furthermore, non-residential building permits this financial year have reached $700,000, underscoring the predominantly suburban residential focus of local building activity.
Per-capita construction volumes in Orelia track 57.0% below the Greater Perth standard, reflecting comparatively subdued building activity. Such constrained additions to the housing stock tend to bolster asset values and demand across established properties. Construction approvals are heavily weighted toward separate houses at 90.0%, with medium and high-density formats comprising the remaining 10.0%, preserving a low-density suburban landscape tailored to family-sized living requirements. With a ratio of approximately 148 persons per residential approval, Orelia demonstrates the attributes of an expanding suburban market. According to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Orelia is expected to expand by 535 residents through to 2041. Ongoing residential construction output matches these expected expansion requirements, preserving equilibrium across the property market without inducing significant upward price inflation.

2,182 residents of Orelia are employed, from a labour force of 2,573. Unemployment sits at 15.2%, with participation at 62.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,936, about 79% 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
Orelia maintains a diverse employment foundation across blue-collar and white-collar roles, underpinned by substantial representation in industrial and production trades, alongside an unemployment rate of 15.2% derived from AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, 2,182 local residents are actively employed. The local jobless rate exceeds Greater Perth's 4.2% benchmark by 11.0%, indicating substantial capacity for labour market improvement, while labour force participation sits at 62.3% against 69.9% across Greater Perth. Census records show that just 3.6% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects circumstances during Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary industry sectors providing work to residents are construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Local employment concentration in manufacturing is particularly pronounced, registering at 1.9 times the metropolitan proportion. Conversely, professional & technical occupations are notably underrepresented, capturing 3.2% of workers versus 8.2% across the wider region. An analysis of local Census workplace counts against the resident workforce demonstrates that Orelia operates primarily as a residential catchment offering relatively few internal jobs. Synthesised ABS and SALM statistical data compiled by AreaSearch indicates that over the preceding 12-month period, the local workforce contracted by 2.0% as total employment fell by 2.9%, driving an increase of 0.8 percentage points in the jobless rate. By comparison, Greater Perth recorded an employment expansion of 2.0%, a labour pool growth of 2.5%, and a milder 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future workforce capacity. Nationwide employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When mapped against Orelia's current industry composition, these national trajectories suggest local employment could rise by 5.7% over five years and 12.3% over ten years (noting this is a baseline sector-weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and excludes local population forecasting).

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 — 17 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,535 at the 2021 Census → 4,999 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.
