Sales Detail
Wembley Downs has an estimated 7,456 residents, up from 6,743 at the 2021 Census — a change of 713 people, or 10.6%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 91.0% of that increase. That puts 1,698 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 regional ABS updates alongside newly validated post-Census addresses, the suburb of Wembley Downs has reached an estimated population of approximately 7,456 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 713 people (10.6%) compared to the 6,743 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is based on an estimated resident population of 7,420 derived from the ABS ERP data release (June 2025) plus 31 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. With 1,698 persons per square kilometer, population density sits higher than the national benchmark assessed by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 10.6% expansion achieved since the 2021 census outpaced the nationwide figure of 9.5%, establishing the suburb of Wembley Downs as a regional leader. Gains were heavily supported by overseas migration, generating roughly 91.0% of recent population increases, alongside positive contributions from natural increase and interstate arrivals. Projections developed by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as a base year) serve as the foundation for SA2 estimates, supplemented by age-cohort growth rates from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data) for remaining locations and post-2032 modeling. Looking ahead, future population trajectory for the suburb of Wembley Downs is projected to track above the national median for statistical areas. Across the 16 years leading to 2041, aggregated SA2 projections indicate an expected addition of 867 persons, representing an overall expansion of 11.2%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
97 new dwellings have been approved in Wembley Downs over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, 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 aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that residential approvals in Wembley Downs average roughly 19 properties each year. Over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), around 97 dwellings received approvals, with 17 recorded to date in FY-25. The arrival of an average of 6 new residents annually for every dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) highlights residential supply lagging well behind incoming demand, creating elevated competition and upward pressure on prices. Newly approved residential dwellings carry an average construction value of $994,000, pointing toward developer concentration on high-end, premium housing.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have totaled $8.0 million during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area. Detached houses constitute 94.0% of recently approved residential builds, with the remaining 6.0% comprising medium and high-density housing types, thereby preserving the traditional family-centric suburban environment sought after for spacious living. This pattern places even greater emphasis on stand-alone homes than established stock (73.0% at Census), illustrating enduring demand for houses despite broader density shifts. A ratio of roughly 378 people per dwelling approval reflects a well-established property market. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures, Wembley Downs is anticipated to welcome 831 additional residents by 2041. Should building approval volumes persist at current levels, new residential construction could struggle to meet population growth, intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward valuation trends.

4,102 residents of Wembley Downs are employed, from a labour force of 4,160. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 68.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,274, about 84% 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
Wembley Downs boasts a well-educated labor pool where professional services are strongly represented, alongside an unemployment rate of 1.4% and an estimated employment growth of 3.4% over the last year according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 4,102 residents are employed while the unemployment rate stands at 2.8%, which is below Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, and workforce participation is broadly similar to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census responses indicate that a moderate 13.6% of residents were working from home, although Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Resident employment is primarily clustered across health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training. In professional & technical disciplines, local worker representation is notably pronounced, tracking at 1.6 times the wider regional baseline. Conversely, manufacturing engages only 2.8% of the local workforce, compared with 5.5% across Greater Perth. As indicated by Census comparisons of working versus resident populations, the suburb functions predominantly as a residential district offering relatively few workplace roles internally. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM data across aggregated statistical areas shows that over the twelve months to March 2026, local employment grew by 3.4% while the labour force expanded by 3.5%, preserving a stable jobless rate. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% employment rise, a 2.5% increase in the labour pool, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Further insights into forward labor trends stem from Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts published in Mar-26. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies substantially. Applying these national sector trajectories to the Wembley Downs workforce profile yields an estimated local employment increase of 7.0% across five years and 14.4% across ten years (noting this illustrative calculation relies on sector weighting rather than localized demographic 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 — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,743 at the 2021 Census → 7,456 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 (SAL51565). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
