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.

Wellard has an estimated 19,042 residents, up from 14,127 at the 2021 Census — a change of 4,915 people, or 34.8%. Growth has averaged 6.3% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 905 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 48.0% of that increase. That puts 1,166 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
Drawing on ABS demographic updates across the broader district together with post-Census address validations by AreaSearch, the suburb of Wellard is projected to reach approximately 19,042 residents by Aug 2026. This equates to an expansion of 4,915 people (34.8%) relative to the 2021 Census benchmark of 14,127 people. The estimate builds upon an ERP of 18,754 generated by AreaSearch from ABS data (June 2025), combined with 905 validated new addresses established following the Census date. Consequently, population density stands at 1,166 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked across AreaSearch locations.
With an increase of 34.8% since the 2021 census, the suburb outstripped both state levels and the national average (9.5%), establishing itself as a regional pacesetter. Inbound interstate migration served as the principal demographic engine, accounting for roughly 48.0% of recent expansion, though overseas arrivals and natural increase also provided positive additions. Projections for the suburb of Wellard adopt the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modelling based on 2022 benchmarks. Where specific SA2 coverage is absent, and for long-term estimates past 2032, cohort growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (using 2022 data) are applied. Looking ahead, future projections place the suburb in the highest quartile across national statistical regions, with aggregated SA2 figures forecasting a gain of 7,020 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 35.4% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,372 new dwellings have been approved in Wellard over the past five years, an average of 274 a year. That places the area in the 99th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 265 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 321, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential construction approvals across statistical divisions, Wellard has maintained a yearly average of approximately 274 authorized dwellings, aggregating to 1,372 approved residences across the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 321 residential building approvals have been logged. In the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 and FY-25, the local influx averaged 3.7 people annually per finished home, generating an environment where demand outpaces newly constructed stock, generally driving up acquisition prices and buyer competition, with expected construction costs averaging $387,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, the submission of $7.0 million in non-residential commercial approvals across this financial year reinforces the predominantly residential character of the neighborhood.
Residential building volumes in Wellard sit 15.0% higher per capita than the wider Greater Perth standard over the 5 year period, offering buyer options while underpinning underlying capital values. This elevated volume significantly exceeds nationwide averages, highlighting strong developer appetite. Detached single-family houses represent 93.0% of recent builds while attached formats account for 7.0%, sustaining traditional low-density suburban streetscapes suited to family-oriented living. With an average of roughly 57 people per residential approval, the locality displays typical attributes of an active urban expansion corridor. Demographic outlooks project an addition of 6,732 persons to Wellard by 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If ongoing building speeds are sustained, the pipeline of upcoming dwellings appears positioned to accommodate projected household numbers comfortably, fostering favourable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling expansion beyond current demographic models.

10,440 residents of Wellard are employed, from a labour force of 10,893. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 75.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% 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 14,110, about 74% 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
Wellard features a skilled local labor pool with strong representation in fundamental community services, recording an unemployment rate of 4.2% based on aggregated statistical area metrics compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 10,440 residents were actively employed, matching the Greater Perth benchmark unemployment level of 4.2%, while the local participation rate reached a notably higher 75.6% compared to the metropolitan standard of 69.9%. Census records indicate that 5.6% of local workers performed their duties from home, an outcome potentially shaped by prevailing Covid-19 health orders. The largest concentrations of local workers are employed within health care & social assistance, retail trade, and the construction sector.
By comparison, education & training accounts for only 6.8% of the local workforce, trailing the Greater Perth figure of 9.2%. Being an established residential enclave, the surrounding locality provides relatively few internal employment positions based on the balance between resident workers and local workplace counts. Analysis of Salm and abs data by areasearch, compiled from larger statistical regions, indicates that during the year to March 2026 the labour force fell by 1.0% and employment dropped by 1.5%, which caused the unemployment rate to increase by 0.4 percentage points. Meanwhile, Greater Perth saw employment grow by 2.0% and the labour force expand by 2.5%, accompanied by a 0.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can provide additional perspective on likely future demand in Wellard. These projections, spanning five and ten year periods, have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to project growth trends. Although overall national employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector specific estimates are applied to Wellard's current employment composition, local employment is projected to grow by 6.2% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighting exercise for demonstration only and does not incorporate localized 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 — 905 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,127 at the 2021 Census → 19,042 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.
