Sales Detail
Parkwood (WA) has an estimated 6,332 residents, up from 5,995 at the 2021 Census — a change of 337 people, or 5.6%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 87.0% of that increase. That puts 1,730 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 Parkwood (WA) has an estimated resident population of roughly 6,332, drawing on AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS regional updates alongside post-Census address validation. Compared to the 5,995 individuals counted in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 337 people (5.6%). This adjustment stems from the 6,332 resident baseline calculated by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 31 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The suburb's density stands at 1,730 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Inflow from overseas migration served as the core growth catalyst, accounting for roughly 87.0% of recent population gains. Projections for the suburb of Parkwood (WA) incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia 2024 releases using 2022 as a base, with post-2032 trajectory modeling and non-covered areas supplemented by age-cohort rates from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region projections (utilising 2022 data). Looking forward to 2041, the suburb of Parkwood (WA) is slated to add 508 persons according to consolidated SA2 modeling, representing an overall expansion of 8.0% across the 16 years, a growth pace sitting slightly beneath the national median across statistical territories.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
164 new dwellings have been approved in Parkwood (WA) over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, well below 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 approvals mapped by AreaSearch show that Parkwood typically records roughly 32 dwelling approvals each year, totaling an estimated 164 dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 17 registered during FY-25 to date. Across that 5 financial years span (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average influx of 1.9 new residents per approved dwelling indicated an equilibrium between demand and supply, though the metric climbing to 3.2 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years signals tightening conditions and rising demand pressure. The typical construction value per newly built dwelling is $402,000.
In addition, $2.4 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, underlining the dominant residential profile of the locality. Per capita residential approvals in Parkwood track at approximately two-thirds of the Greater Perth rate, placing the suburb in the 43rd percentile nationally, which limits new residential choices and bolsters demand for established homes. This below-average national standing points to an established locality potentially constrained by planning limits. Detached houses comprise 94.0% of recent approvals alongside 6.0% attached dwellings, preserving the suburban setting and appealing to buyers seeking standalone properties. The ratio of roughly 342 people per dwelling approval demonstrates a highly settled residential landscape. Demographic projections indicate that Parkwood will add 508 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If existing construction volumes are sustained, the forthcoming supply of residential dwellings appears capable of meeting projected requirements, supporting stable market conditions for buyers and allowing headroom for growth beyond current baseline forecasts.

3,396 residents of Parkwood (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 3,514. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 65.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,989, 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
Statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch indicate that Parkwood features a qualified labor force with strong placement in core services, recording an unemployment rate of 3.4% and an estimated annual jobs expansion of 1.0%. Across the suburb as of March 2026, 3,396 residents are employed, the jobless rate sits 0.8% below the 4.2% registered across Greater Perth, and workforce participation stands at 65.8%, trailing the metropolitan mark of 69.9%. Census records indicate that only 6.3% of workers operated from home, though historical pandemic measures must be factored into that figure. The leading employment sectors among local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
Manufacturing demonstrates notable concentration locally, employing workers at 1.5 times the wider metropolitan proportion. In contrast, construction engages 7.2% of the local workforce compared to the 9.3% regional benchmark. Comparing Census resident counts against locally based workers indicates that this predominantly suburban neighborhood provides relatively few job roles within its own boundaries. Synthesised ABS and SALM figures show that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, Parkwood experienced a 1.0% rise in employed residents and a 1.1% increase in its labor force, maintaining steady unemployment. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment lift by 2.0% and the workforce grow by 2.5%, alongside a 0.4 percentage points rise in joblessness. Applying Jobs and Skills Australia Mar-26 industry projection models—which project wider Australian employment to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years—to Parkwood's specific industry distribution implies potential local employment expansion of 6.2% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (representing an illustrative sectoral weighting that excludes localized demographic 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 — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,995 at the 2021 Census → 6,332 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.
