Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years, faster than 82% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 68.0% of that increase. That puts 2,753 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 Palmyra (WA) has an estimated population of approximately 8,644, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census address validations. This represents an addition of 1,059 residents (14.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 7,585 people. The updated figure builds on an estimated resident population (ERP) of 8,631 determined by AreaSearch from ABS data released in June 2025, alongside 12 newly verified addresses post-dating the Census. Population density currently sits at 2,752 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb in the upper quartile across all Australian localities evaluated by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both its broader SA3 region and the national average benchmark of 9.5%, the suburb's 14.0% expansion since the 2021 census establishes it as a prominent regional growth performer, with overseas arrivals supplying roughly 68.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Palmyra (WA) incorporate 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2-level modeling rooted in a 2022 base year. Where SA2 data is unavailable, as well as for all post-2032 modeling, calculations integrate cohort-specific growth rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections published in 2023 (using 2022 data). Long-term demographic forecasts anticipate higher than median national expansion, with cumulative SA2-level modeling predicting an increase of 1,103 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative 12.6% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
62 new dwellings have been approved in Palmyra (WA) over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 16, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building consent statistics show that approximately 12 residential dwellings secure building approvals annually in Palmyra, totaling an estimated 62 approved residences across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 16 recorded to date in FY-25. Across those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), roughly 15.9 inbound residents arrived for every newly constructed residence, creating a notable supply shortfall that places upward pressure on property prices and fuels buyer competition. New homes carry an average construction value of $791,000, underscoring an emphasis on premium residential stock, while commercial approvals stand at $2.6 million this financial year, reflecting subdued commercial building activity.
Residential construction in Palmyra tracks 73.0% below the Greater Perth per capita benchmark, though building volumes have accelerated over recent timeframes. This subdued supply relative to both metropolitan and national averages underscores the suburb's mature layout and potential zoning constraints, which historically reinforces values and demand for established dwellings. Standalone houses account for 92.0% of new residential development, with townhouses or apartments comprising 8.0%, maintaining the traditional low-density character sought by family buyers. Furthermore, builders are delivering freestanding residences at a rate substantially higher than the existing housing profile (57.0% at Census), demonstrating sustained interest in detached properties despite broader urban densification. A ratio of approximately 475 people per approval underscores the market's established status. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection, Palmyra is anticipated to gain 1,090 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing delivery could fall behind population intake, potentially heightening competition among prospective buyers and reinforcing price appreciation.

The Point Palmyra
Proposed mixed use development on the former Palmyra Bowling Club site, comprising 98 apartments above ground floor commercial tenancies, delivering new housing and local shops close to Fremantle in partnership between 10 Development and DevelopmentWA.
Melville District Activity Centre Plan - Palmyra Precinct
Statutory activity centre plan guiding higher density mixed use redevelopment across the Melville District Centre, which spans parts of Palmyra, Melville, Attadale and Bicton around the Melville Plaza Shopping Centre and the Canning Highway and Stock Road intersection. Approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission on 8 August 2017, the plan is the principal planning document for the centre and sets place based controls for land use, building height, plot ratio, setbacks and public realm, replacing earlier precinct level structure planning for this part of Palmyra.It is applied alongside City of Melville Local Planning Scheme No. 6, which assigns the centre a maximum plot ratio of 1.2 and is implemented progressively as individual development applications and local development plans are lodged. Implementation is active: a six storey mixed use development at 36 and 38 Waddell Road, 391 Canning Highway and 167 Stock Road, Palmyra, valued at about 100 million dollars and comprising a residential aged care facility, independent living apartments, a medical centre, shop and restaurant, has been progressed through the Metro Inner Joint Development Assessment Panel, with an amendment application (DAP/23/02413) lodged in June 2025 and determined in October 2025. Separately, the City of Melville is midway through a multi year review of Local Planning Scheme No. 6 aimed at supporting a target of 18,000 additional dwellings by 2050 through targeted density increases around activity centres and along the Canning Highway corridor. A revised residential density approach was presented to Council on 16 June 2026, with a further round of community consultation anticipated from late July 2026, a draft report to Council in October 2026 and submission to the WAPC in Q4 2026 or Q1 2027. Approved activity centre plans such as this one operate independently of the scheme review and are not directly amended by it.

4,995 residents of Palmyra (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 5,106. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 71.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% 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 7,683, 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 data compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Palmyra maintains a highly qualified local workforce, strong representation in essential service industries, minimal unemployment at 2.2%, and resilient labor market conditions over the previous year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,995, while the jobless rate stood 2.0% beneath the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%, and labor force participation closely aligned with the wider metropolitan figure of 69.9%. Census records indicate that 8.4% of local workers performed their duties from home, though this figure was likely shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, alongside professional & technical services.
Palmyra exhibits particular specialization within education & training, where local employment concentration is 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, retail trade remains comparatively underrepresented, employing 7.6% of local workers versus 9.3% across Greater Perth. The balance between local resident employees and daytime workers indicates that this largely residential enclave provides relatively limited internal job opportunities. Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS and SALM figures across broader statistical divisions shows that in the year to March 2026, both the local labor pool and total employed persons contracted by 0.5%, leaving unemployment virtually unchanged. In contrast, Greater Perth registered a 2.0% increase in employment, a 2.5% expansion in the labor force, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in the jobless rate. National outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide forward-looking insights into potential workforce shifts for Palmyra over five- and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these sectoral growth trajectories to the local occupational mix projects employment increases of 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this illustrative extrapolation is based solely on industry weighting without factoring in localized population changes).

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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,585 at the 2021 Census → 8,644 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.
