Quinns Rocks has an estimated 10,004 residents, up from 8,861 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,143 people, or 12.9%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 50.0% of that increase. That puts 2,393 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 demographic assessments incorporating broader ABS figures and newly validated addresses confirmed by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Quinns Rocks records an estimated resident count of roughly 10,004 as of Aug 2026. This demonstrates an expansion of 1,143 people (12.9%) beyond the 8,861 people documented at the 2021 Census. Such growth builds upon a residential count of 9,707 determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 3 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. Consequently, population density sits at 2,393 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of areas evaluated nationally by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 12.9% gain in the suburb of Quinns Rocks since the 2021 census outperformed the broader national figure of 9.5%, establishing it as an regional frontrunner in population growth. Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst by generating around 50.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and interstate arrivals. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures have been incorporated by AreaSearch for local SA2 regions, with outer-year modeling past 2032 and uncovered areas supplemented via age-cohort growth rates from the 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset (benchmarked to 2022). Forward-looking demographic assessments indicate that the suburb of Quinns Rocks is positioned for above-median growth across evaluated territories, with combined SA2-level figures projecting a net gain of 1,190 persons through to 2041, representing an overall rise of 8.9% throughout the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
183 new dwellings have been approved in Quinns Rocks over the past five years, an average of 36 a year. That places the area in the 73rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 68 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 66% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 63, 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
Analysis of ABS residential approval figures aggregated across statistical boundaries indicates that Quinns Rocks has averaged approximately 36 building permits per annum, amounting to roughly 183 homes across the previous 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 63 dwelling approvals have been logged. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, an average of 2.3 new residents per year has emerged for each dwelling, highlighting steady demand that underpins local residential values where new construction costs average $624,000, signaling a clear development emphasis on higher-end builds. Furthermore, non-residential building permits totaling $950,000 have been granted during this financial year, underscoring the locality's predominantly residential character.
Compared against the Greater Perth metropolitan benchmarks, residential building volumes in Quinns Rocks remain markedly lower, trailing the per-capita regional norm by 56.0%. Such constrained additions often bolster demand and pricing across existing housing stock, even with recent increases in construction activity. Current building consents comprise 66.0% detached houses alongside 34.0% townhouses or apartments, reflecting an increasing transition toward attached structures that deliver varied price points ranging from larger family residences to more affordable compact formats. This evolution marks a clear departure from the established neighborhood fabric, in which houses currently make up 96.0%, pointing to shrinking land availability alongside an appetite for varied, cost-effective residential options. With roughly 153 people per approval, the locality exhibits characteristics of a growing area. Looking forward, Quinns Rocks is anticipated to expand by 893 residents out to 2041 based on recent AreaSearch quarterly metrics. The volume of ongoing building activity corresponds well with prospective requirements, fostering balanced property conditions without triggering excessive price escalation.

5,589 residents of Quinns Rocks are employed, from a labour force of 5,794. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 73.5%. 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, 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 7,382, about 74% 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
Quinns Rocks boasts a highly skilled labor pool with strong representation in essential service industries, an unemployment rate of just 3.5%, and an estimated employment growth of 0.9% during the previous year, according to AreaSearch’s aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 5,589 residents were employed, with the local unemployment rate sitting at 0.7% below the Greater Perth average of 4.2%, while workforce participation remained relatively typical at 73.5% compared to Greater Perth’s 69.9%. Census data indicates that only a small 9.5% of residents worked from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Local workers are predominantly active across construction, health care & social assistance, as well as education & training. The construction sector stands out as an area of notable local concentration, employing residents at 1.7 times the wider regional baseline. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a more modest 5.7% share of the workforce relative to 8.2% across the wider region. Given its largely suburban character, the neighborhood offers relatively few positions within its own boundaries, as reflected in the disparity between local resident workers and the daytime working count from Census returns. Synthesized SALM and ABS statistical records evaluated by AreaSearch show that over the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.9% against a 1.4% expansion in the total labor pool, yielding a 0.5 percentage point lift in the local jobless rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0%, the workforce increase by 2.5%, and unemployment tick up by 0.4 percentage points. National employment modeling released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provides useful perspective on future labor requirements within Quinns Rocks when mapped against local industry composition. Across the country, job numbers are modeled to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these structural trends to the local industry mix points to potential employment gains of 6.4% across five years and 13.3% across ten years (representing an illustrative weighting calculation that does not incorporate specific localized population forecasts).

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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,861 at the 2021 Census → 10,004 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.
