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.

Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions alongside address records verified post-Census, the suburb of Queens Park (WA) reached an estimated 7,997 residents by Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 729 people (10.0%) compared to the 2021 Census benchmark of 7,268 people. This trajectory builds upon an ERP estimate of 7,903 published by the ABS (June 2025) combined with 10 validated new addresses logged since the Census benchmark. The resulting population density stands at 2,918 persons per square kilometer, placing the community in the top quartile of assessed Australian regions.
Surpassing the broader national pace (9.5%), the suburb of Queens Park (WA) established itself as a regional pacesetter through its 10.0% post-2021 Census expansion. Net overseas migration served as the core growth catalyst, accounting for roughly 76.0% of recent population additions. Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections pegged to a 2022 baseline. Where localized figures are missing, or to project outcomes beyond 2032 across all geographies, calculations apply cohort-specific rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region series (issued in 2023 utilizing 2022 inputs). Future demographic trends point to high-tier expansion relative to national statistical zones, with the suburb of Queens Park (WA) anticipated to add 1,792 persons by 2041 via aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 21.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
203 new dwellings have been approved in Queens Park (WA) over the past five years, an average of 40 a year. That is 3.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 76% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Analysis of ABS residential approval statistics aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that Queens Park has averaged roughly 40 residential building approvals per year, accumulating an estimated 203 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 13 approvals have been documented. Net additions averaged 2.8 people per year for every newly built residence between FY-21 and FY-25, underscoring solid underlying demand supportive of residential values, with fresh residential construction carrying an average expected construction cost of $474,000. Concurrently, non-residential activity saw $14.3 million in commercial approvals registered during the current financial year, reflecting a steady pace of commercial construction.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Queens Park aligns closely with Greater Perth benchmarks, maintaining balanced local market conditions. The current construction profile is weighted toward separate houses at 76.0%, with medium and high-density housing comprising the remaining 24.0%, thereby preserving the traditional suburban neighborhood fabric and catering to family households seeking detached space. With roughly 565 people per approval, the urban landscape reflects a well-established, mature residential setting. According to the latest quarterly forecasts from AreaSearch, Queens Park is set to welcome an additional 1,698 residents by 2041. Should future residential construction stay at current levels, housing supply could trail population expansion, creating tighter market conditions among prospective purchasers and providing upward pressure on property values.

4,503 residents of Queens Park (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 4,716. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 73.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,244, about 78% 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
Workforce analysis by AreaSearch reveals that Queens Park maintains a qualified talent pool across multiple industries, showing an unemployment rate of 4.5% alongside steady annual labor conditions. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,503, with local unemployment tracking 0.3% higher than the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%. Participation stood at a standard 73.4% versus 69.9% across Greater Perth. In addition, Census records showed merely 4.7% of employed locals working remotely from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade.
Logistics represents an outsized concentration, with transport, postal & warehousing employment tracking at 2.0 times the broader metropolitan norm. Conversely, education & training accounts for only 5.1% of the resident workforce, trailing the Greater Perth share of 9.2%. A comparison of Census workplace destinations against resident totals highlights the predominantly residential environment, which features comparatively few internal job positions. Reviewing combined SALM and ABS datasets over the 12 months leading to March 2026, local labor force levels saw virtually no net change while overall employment contracted by 0.3%, driving a 0.3 percentage point increase in joblessness. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth recorded employment expansion of 2.0% and labor force gains of 2.5%, alongside a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader labor demand dynamics can be evaluated through national industry projections issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Across the country, employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral rates vary widely. Extrapolating these industry weightings to the Queens Park employment profile indicates potential employment growth of 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (representing a baseline weighting calculation for illustrative analysis without integrating localized population models).

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,268 at the 2021 Census → 7,997 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.
