Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside new addresses confirmed following the Census, the suburb of The Vines has an estimated Aug 2026 population of approximately 6,843. This represents a net gain of 995 people (17.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,848 people. Such growth is drawn from an estimated resident base of 6,456 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, supplemented by 22 validated new addresses identified post-Census. Population density currently stands at 1,059 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations.
Surpassing both the Western Australian state level and the 9.5% national benchmark, the suburb of The Vines's 17.0% expansion firmly positions it among leading regional growth areas. Inward interstate migration served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 59.0% of recent population gains, with overseas arrivals and natural increase also making positive contributions. Projections for SA2 localities utilise ABS and Geoscience Australia modelling published in 2024 (taking 2022 as its baseline), while unmapped locations and periods beyond 2032 integrate age-cohort growth rates sourced from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (based on 2022 data). Long-term demographic forecasts place the suburb of The Vines within the top quartile across Australian statistical areas, anticipating an increase of 1,625 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2-level data, which corresponds to an overall expansion of 18.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
43 new dwellings have been approved in The Vines over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 45, 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 records distributed across statistical areas indicates that The Vines averages approximately 8 dwelling approvals per annum, yielding a total of roughly 43 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 45 approvals have been lodged. With an influx averaging 6.4 new residents annually for each residence constructed between FY-21 and FY-25 (the past 5 financial years), local demand substantially outstrips supply, typically escalating purchaser competition and lifting valuations, while average construction costs for new dwellings stand at $429,000. Additionally, commercial development activity remains minimal, with commercial approvals amounting to $74,000 in the current financial year.
On a per-capita basis, building volumes in The Vines sit significantly below the broader regional standard, trailing Greater Perth by 76.0%. Such restricted construction tends to underpin pricing and demand across the established dwelling market, notwithstanding a recent uptick in building approvals. Activity also tracks below the nationwide benchmark, reflecting the mature character of the suburb and pointing to possible planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent building activity has been dedicated exclusively to detached houses, preserving the traditional family-centric, low-density neighborhood fabric. Recording roughly 159 people per dwelling approval, The Vines displays distinct attributes of an active growth corridor. Looking forward from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release, The Vines is projected to add 1,238 residents by 2041. Should dwelling construction persist at prevailing rates, new supply could fall short of demographic expansion, potentially intensifying competition among purchasers and reinforcing upward price momentum.

3,701 residents of The Vines are employed, from a labour force of 3,800. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 73.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% 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 5,008, about 73% 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 data aggregated by AreaSearch reveals that The Vines possesses a qualified labour pool with notable concentration across manufacturing and industrial activities, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 2.6% alongside stable job conditions over the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, employed locals number 3,701, keeping the jobless rate 1.6% below the 4.2% figure observed across Greater Perth, while labor force participation is standard at 73.0% (compared to 69.9% regionally). Census records show only 10.4% of employed persons working from home, though this figure reflects conditions during Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment fields for resident workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Mining demonstrates exceptional local concentration, capturing an employment share 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 10.7% of local workers, lagging the 14.8% share recorded across Greater Perth. The discrepancy between the Census count of local jobs and resident workers indicates that the predominantly residential neighborhood provides limited employment opportunities internally. ABS and SALM figures across broader statistical geographies show that over the year ending March 2026, local employment grew by 0.1% while the labour force expanded by 0.2%, nudging the unemployment rate upward by 0.2 percentage points; in comparison, Greater Perth recorded employment growth of 2.0%, workforce growth of 2.5%, and an increase of 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking perspectives are informed by Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary by industry. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the industry structure of The Vines indicates an anticipated local employment growth of 5.8% over five years and 12.4% over ten years (representing a proportional weighting exercise that does not incorporate local 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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,848 at the 2021 Census → 6,843 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.
