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.

Sales Detail
Redcliffe (WA) has an estimated 5,349 residents, up from 5,030 at the 2021 Census — a change of 319 people, or 6.3%. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,011 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
Following examination of broader ABS population updates alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch following the Census, the population of the suburb of Redcliffe (WA) is calculated to be approximately 5,349 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,030 people, this represents an expansion of 319 people (6.3%). These findings stem from an estimated resident count of 5,342 determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release together with post-Census address validations. The resulting population density stands at 2,010 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Inward overseas migration served as essentially the exclusive contributor to population growth in the suburb of Redcliffe (WA) across recent periods. For individual SA2 locations, AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, and for broader post-2032 projections across all regions, age cohort growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data) are applied. In light of anticipated demographic patterns, statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch indicate an above median population growth trajectory for the suburb of Redcliffe (WA), where aggregated SA2-level modeling projects an increase of 747 persons to 2041, representing an overall expansion of 13.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
60 new dwellings have been approved in Redcliffe (WA) over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 2.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval records allocated from statistical area figures, Redcliffe has averaged approximately 12 dwellings approved for development each year, amounting to roughly 60 homes across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 5 approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 1.9 people per year relocated locally per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years, maintaining balanced supply and demand dynamics and market stability; this ratio has since adjusted to 1 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, indicating a closer equilibrium.
Newly built residences carry an average construction cost of $433,000. In addition, $606,000 in commercial approvals has been recorded this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the locality. Residential building volumes in Redcliffe fall 58.0% below regional average per person compared to Greater Perth. While construction activity has picked up in recent years, this constrained pipeline generally supports existing property values and demand. Activity also trails national levels, reflecting a mature market that may face development bottlenecks. Approvals comprise 33.0% detached houses alongside 67.0% medium and high-density housing. This orientation toward compact formats offers lower-cost entry points, attracting first-time purchasers, downsizers, and investors. It marks a clear departure from the established neighborhood stock (currently 78.0% houses), reflecting shifting lifestyle preferences, shrinking land availability, and a requirement for diverse, affordable options. Featuring roughly 210 people per dwelling approval, Redcliffe exhibits the profile of a low density area. Projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate Redcliffe will add 740 residents through to 2041. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of new housing may find it difficult to keep pace with population expansion, potentially fueling competition among purchasers and placing upward pressure on values.

2,880 residents of Redcliffe (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 3,043. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 68.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,890, about 91% 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 area data evaluated by AreaSearch indicates that Redcliffe possesses a skilled labor base with strong representation across industrial and manufacturing sectors, an unemployment rate of 5.4%, and consistent employment levels across the prior twelve months. Employed locals numbered 2,880 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sat 1.2% higher than Greater Perth's 4.2%, and the participation rate broadly matched Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records indicated that a modest 5.7% of employed residents worked from home, though this coincided with Covid-19 restrictions. The primary industry sectors employing local residents are retail trade, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Specialization is particularly elevated within transport, postal & warehousing, where the local workforce share reaches 1.7 times the regional level. In contrast, professional & technical occupations represent a smaller footprint at 5.8%, trailing the regional benchmark of 8.2%. The ratio of Census working population to local residents suggests that employment opportunities within this largely residential area remain limited. An examination by AreaSearch of ABS and SALM figures aggregated across broader statistical areas indicates that throughout the 12 months to March 2026, Redcliffe recorded a 0.3% rise in employment alongside a 0.8% expansion in the labour force, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.5 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment grow by 2.0% and the labour force expand by 2.5%, with unemployment rising 0.4 percentage points. National employment outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied against the local industry breakdown to project growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-specific rates diverge considerably. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce composition suggests employment in Redcliffe could rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized population projections).

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,030 at the 2021 Census → 5,349 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.
