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
Wannanup has an estimated 4,880 residents, up from 4,142 at the 2021 Census — a change of 738 people, or 17.8%. Growth has averaged 3.3% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 55.0% of that increase. That puts 1,554 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS regional updates alongside validated new addresses post-Census, the suburb of Wannanup has reached an estimated resident total of roughly 4,880 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 738 people (17.8%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 4,142 people. That calculation builds on the 4,865 resident figure established by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP data release, combined with 49 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,554 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch.
Outperforming both the nationwide pace of 9.5% and state benchmarks, the suburb of Wannanup's 17.8% expansion establishes it among the leading growth localities in the broader area. Net interstate arrivals served as the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 55.00000000000001% of recent population additions, with natural increase and overseas migration also delivering positive contributions. Projections generated by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 units, issued in 2024 with 2022 serving as the starting benchmark, underpin AreaSearch's baseline modeling. Where localized SA2 coverage is absent, and for broader projections extending beyond 2032, cohort-specific growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (utilizing 2022 figures) are applied. Guided by these demographic trends, AreaSearch projects the suburb of Wannanup to achieve above-median expansion relative to comparable statistical districts, adding 678 persons through to 2041 under consolidated SA2 forecasts—an overall rise of 13.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
270 new dwellings have been approved in Wannanup over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows an annual average of about 54 dwellings sanctioned in Wannanup, accumulating to approximately 270 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 35 residential approvals have been logged. In the period spanning FY-21 through FY-25, the locality registered an influx of 4.2 people annually for each newly erected dwelling, creating a dynamic where construction trails incoming demand, typically placing upward pressure on pricing and intensifying buyer competition. New homes carry an average building cost of $517,000, marginally exceeding the broader region and pointing toward premium residential construction.
In contrast, non-residential activity remains subdued, with commercial building approvals totaling $599,000 in the ongoing financial year. Per capita building activity in Wannanup runs at roughly 58% of the Greater Perth benchmark, though the locality ranks within the 78th percentile nationally. The composition of approved residential development is heavily skewed toward standalone dwellings, with detached houses making up 94.0% and medium-to-high density formats representing 6.0%, reinforcing the suburban character and appealing to purchasers seeking detached layouts and larger parcels. Recording roughly 134 people per dwelling approval, the area displays clear expansionary traits. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release, demographic projections anticipate an influx of 663 residents in Wannanup through to 2041. Should current construction tempos persist, future residential additions will adequately accommodate projected housing needs, sustaining balanced purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population growth above baseline forecasts.

2,234 residents of Wannanup are employed, from a labour force of 2,289. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 55.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% 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 3,964, about 81% 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
Wannanup features a balanced employment profile across blue-collar and professional occupations, underpinned by prominent industrial and manufacturing sectors. The local unemployment rate stands at an exceptionally low 2.4%, with annual jobs expansion estimated at 8.4% according to AreaSearch's statistical district models. As of March 2026, employed residents count 2,234, maintaining a jobless rate 1.8% below the 4.2% recorded for Greater Perth, even as local labor participation of 55.8% trails the metropolitan benchmark of 69.9%. Census records indicate that only 9.3% of workers operated from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions may have influenced these figures.
The primary sectors supporting local workers are mining, construction, alongside health care & social assistance. Workforce concentration is particularly pronounced in mining, where local representation is 1.9 times the regional average. By contrast, professional & technical occupations account for just 3.9% of local employment, well below the 8.2% seen across the wider region. Comparing the resident workforce against on-site employment counts indicates that this primarily residential district provides limited internal job capacity. In the 12 months leading to March 2026, AreaSearch analysis of combined ABS and SALM records indicates local employment grew by 8.4% while the workforce base rose 9.1%, lifting local unemployment by 0.5 percentage points; across Greater Perth, employment increased by 2.0% and the workforce grew 2.5%, moving the unemployment rate up by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking national projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context for local labor trends over five and ten-year time horizons. Nationally, overall job volumes are projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely across separate industries. Modeling these industry projections against the local occupational distribution indicates potential job growth of 5.6% across five years and 12.2% over ten years for Wannanup (representing an unadjusted industry-weighted extrapolation rather than a local demographic forecast).

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 — 49 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,142 at the 2021 Census → 4,880 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 (SAL51525). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
