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
Rossmoyne has an estimated 4,233 residents, up from 3,638 at the 2021 Census — a change of 595 people, or 16.4%. Growth has averaged 2.8% a year over five years, faster than 86% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,581 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
Evaluating broad-area ABS demographic updates alongside validated new addresses recorded by AreaSearch following the Census indicates that the suburb of Rossmoyne has reached roughly 4,233 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 595 people (16.4%) relative to the 3,638 people documented during the 2021 Census. Such growth builds upon an estimated resident population of 4,227 identified by AreaSearch from the ABS's recent ERP release (June 2025), coupled with 85 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a density of 2,581 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Rossmoyne sits within the upper quartile of nationwide regions reviewed by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both the 9.5% national benchmark and the wider SA3 area, the suburb of Rossmoyne's 16.4% uptick positions it as a leading regional growth pocket, propelled almost entirely by overseas migration as the primary source of demographic gains. Projections compiled by ABS and Geoscience Australia for SA2 districts (published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures) serve as the foundation for AreaSearch's forward estimates, supplemented by age-bracket growth metrics from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data) for unlisted sectors and horizons beyond 2032. Looking ahead, the suburb of Rossmoyne is anticipated to rank in the upper quartile of tracked locations, with aggregated SA2 modeling forecasting an addition of 992 persons by 2041, translating to an overall 16-year increase of 23.3%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
166 new dwellings have been approved in Rossmoyne over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 36, broadly in line with 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 building approvals mapped by AreaSearch shows that Rossmoyne has averaged approximately 33 approved dwellings annually, yielding roughly 166 residential units across the last 5 financial years, with 36 approvals logged to date in FY-25. An influx of 4.3 people per year for every dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25 highlights supply trailing behind demand, creating tighter competition among buyers and upward price momentum. The mean construction value of $670,000 per dwelling points to developer emphasis on high-end, premium housing. Meanwhile, approved commercial works have amounted to $634,000 this financial year, underscoring the area's predominantly residential character.
Relative to Greater Perth, residential construction in Rossmoyne is running high at 49.0% above regional per-capita figures across the 5-year timeline, giving purchasers alternatives while sustaining local asset values. Detached houses comprise 92.0% of recent approvals alongside 8.0% dedicated to medium and high-density structures, maintaining a low-density suburban landscape favored by buyers seeking space. An average of approximately 124 residents per building approval illustrates an evolving community. Longer-term demographic modeling projects an expansion of 986 residents in Rossmoyne by 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Maintained at existing rates, residential development should sufficiently cater to local requirements, providing supportive buyer conditions and paving the way for growth to potentially surpass projected benchmarks.

1,995 residents of Rossmoyne are employed, from a labour force of 2,025. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 56.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% 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 3,502, about 83% 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
Rossmoyne is characterized by a well-educated labor pool, strong professional services involvement, a minimal 1.5% unemployment rate, and a 3.3% rise in employment over the preceding year according to AreaSearch's regional data synthesis. As of March 2026, 1,995 residents are employed, maintaining an unemployment rate 2.7% lower than the 4.2% recorded for Greater Perth, whereas local labor participation is comparatively subdued at 56.6% versus 69.9% across the metro region. Census figures show 15.2% of workers performing their roles from home, which may reflect pandemic-era conditions. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
Professional & technical activities show particular strength, sitting at 1.5 times the broader regional proportion. By comparison, construction accounts for 5.2% of the local workforce against 9.3% regionally. Comparing resident workers to the local Census workplace count illustrates that employment opportunities within the immediate residential area remain limited. Synthesizing ABS and SALM figures across regional boundaries, AreaSearch notes that throughout the 12 months leading to March 2026, Rossmoyne experienced a 3.3% increase in employment alongside a 3.2% rise in the labor force, preserving steady jobless metrics. In comparison, Greater Perth recorded employment gains of 2.0% and labor force growth of 2.5%, accompanied by a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia from Mar-26 suggest broader employment will grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories fluctuate by sector. When applied to Rossmoyne's specific industry distribution, these projections indicate potential local employment expansion of 6.9% across five years and 14.3% across ten years, based on simple illustrative weighting without factoring in local population trajectories.

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 — 85 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,638 at the 2021 Census → 4,233 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL51312). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
