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
Waroona has an estimated 3,130 residents, up from 2,868 at the 2021 Census — a change of 262 people, or 9.1%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 67.0% of that increase. Density is about 13 people per 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
Evaluations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region combined with new address validations by AreaSearch following the Census suggest that the population of the suburb of Waroona stands at approximately 3,130 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 262 people (9.1%) from the 2021 Census, when the head count was 2,868. This variation is derived from the resident population of 3,130, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP statistics from June 2025 and 15 newly confirmed addresses since the Census. Such a population size translates to 13.0 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial space per resident.
The post-Census expansion rate of 9.1% for the suburb of Waroona is within 0.2 percentage points of the national average (9.3%), highlighting competitive local growth dynamics. Net migration from other states was the primary engine of growth, accounting for roughly 67.0% of the overall population increase in recent times, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories where this data is unavailable, and to calculate expansion in the years after 2032, AreaSearch applies the cohort-specific growth rates published by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections from 2023, based on 2022 statistics. Looking at future demographic patterns, population growth for non-metropolitan parts of Australia is expected to exceed the median, and the suburb of Waroona is projected to expand by 385 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level forecasts, representing a total increase of 12.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
66 new dwellings have been approved in Waroona over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 16, 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical areas, Waroona has averaged approximately 13 new residential approvals annually, totaling 66 approved homes over the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 15 approvals registered so far in FY-26. Over the past 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, the area added an average of 2.8 people per year for every newly built home, pointing to solid demand that supports property values. The expected construction cost of these new homes averages $361,000, which is higher than the regional average and points to premium building quality.
In addition, commercial development approvals reached $1.2 million this financial year, confirming the predominantly residential character of the locality. Compared with the Rest of WA, Waroona achieves about 75% of the per capita construction volume, positioning it in the 75th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, with development activity picking up in recent times. The latest building permits consist entirely of detached houses, preserving the established low-density aesthetic of the area and focusing on family-oriented properties that attract those wanting space. With approximately 163 residents per building approval, Waroona exhibits the traits of an expanding area. Looking to the future, Waroona is anticipated to add 385 new residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Residential construction is keeping pace with this projected growth, though prospective buyers may face increased competition as the population expands.

1,395 residents of Waroona are employed, from a labour force of 1,500. Unemployment sits at 7.0%, with participation at 57.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,869, about 92% 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
Waroona features a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with the construction sector a particular standout in terms of representation, an unemployment rate of 7.0%, and 0.6% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,395 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 3.5% above Regional WA's rate of 3.5%, showing room for improvement, and workforce participation lags significantly (57.7% compared to Regional WA's 65.6%). Based on Census responses, a low 7.1% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Leading employment industries among residents comprise manufacturing, mining, and construction. The area has particular employment specialization in manufacturing, with an employment share of 2.9 times the regional level. On the other hand, accommodation & food is under-represented, with only 3.2% of Waroona's workforce compared to 7.1% in Regional WA. The area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment increasing by 0.6% alongside labour force increasing by 0.7%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.2 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional WA, where employment contracted by 0.1%, the labour force grew by 0.3%, and unemployment rose 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Waroona. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Waroona's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 4.7% over five years and 11.1% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,868 at the 2021 Census → 3,130 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 May 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 (SAL51536). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
