This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Baldivis - North has a population of roughly 18,006 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 6,355 people (54.5%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 11,651 people. This adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 17,460 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 1,879 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census date. With this resident base, the population density sits at 314 persons per square kilometer, offering ample personal space and capacity for subsequent expansion. Surpassing both the state pace and the national average (9.5%), the 54.5% expansion recorded since the 2021 census establishes Baldivis - North as a regional frontrunner in demographic expansion.
Inflow from interstate migration served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 58.7% of recent demographic gains, while natural increase and overseas migration also delivered positive contributions. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as a base year are applied by AreaSearch across individual SA2 boundaries. Where specific SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for modelling trajectories past 2032 across all localities, AreaSearch incorporates age cohort growth figures published by the ABS in its 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset (derived from 2022 data). Looking ahead, long-range demographic forecasts position the locality in the highest quartile among national statistical areas, projecting an influx of 5,420 persons by 2041 based on recent annual ERP population metrics, which equates to an overall expansion of 27.1% throughout the 16 years.

8,752 residents of Baldivis - North are employed, from a labour force of 9,214. Unemployment sits at 5.0%, with participation at 68.7%. 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 15,713, about 87% 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
The local labour pool across Baldivis - North features an even distribution of blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by solid representation in essential services, while the unemployment rate sits at 5.0%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 8,752, with the jobless rate tracking 0.8% above the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%, while labour force participation aligns closely with the 69.9% recorded across Greater Perth. Census findings indicated that 6.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though broader pandemic restrictions at the time should be kept in mind. Resident employment is primarily anchored in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Local workforce engagement in mining is especially pronounced, tracking at 1.4 times the broader metropolitan standard. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, engaging only 4.3% of the resident workforce in Baldivis - North relative to 8.2% across Greater Perth. Comparing the Census count of local jobs against the resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities within the district remain relatively constrained. An examination of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.9% and employed persons fell by 2.1%, driving an increase in the unemployment rate of 1.1 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth registered a 2.0% gain in total employment and a 2.5% rise in the overall labour force, accompanied by a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader labor market trajectories can be evaluated using national industry outlooks released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Applying these five-year and ten-year nationwide sectoral expectations to the local workforce footprint provides an indication of prospective job trends. Across Australia, total employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories fluctuate markedly across industries. When mapped to the industry distribution in Baldivis - North, this weighting model points to local employment gains of 5.8% over five years and 12.5% over ten years (note that this represents a straightforward proportional extrapolation for baseline comparison and excludes localized population models).

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 — 1,879 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,651 at the 2021 Census → 18,006 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.
