Chart Color Schemes
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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the population residing in Baldivis - South stands at approximately 32,300 as of Aug 2026. Compared against the 2021 Census count of 26,046 people, this represents an expansion of 6,254 people (24.0%). Such growth is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 31,709 recorded as of June 2025, combined with 1,697 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The local density reaches 1,076 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch study locations. Surpassing both statewide figures and the national average (9.5%), the locality's 24.0% gain since the 2021 census positions it at the forefront of regional expansion.
While overseas arrivals and natural increase both made positive additions, interstate migration served as the primary catalyst by generating roughly 43.5% of recent population additions. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as their starting point, are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 regions. For locations outside this dataset and to model demographic shifts beyond 2032, cohort-specific growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (utilising 2022 data) are incorporated. Looking ahead, the statistical area ranks within the top quartile nationwide for demographic expansion, with the latest annual ERP figures pointing to a 9,097 persons increase by 2041, corresponding to a total rise of 26.3% over the 16 years.

17,178 residents of Baldivis - South are employed, from a labour force of 17,820. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 73.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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 24,890, about 77% 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 market in Baldivis - South features an even distribution of blue and white collar positions, supported by substantial representation across essential services and a low jobless rate of 3.6%. Employed locals reached 17,178 residents as of March 2026, while the local unemployment rate sits 0.6% below Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%. Participation in the labour force remains robust at 73.2% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records indicate that merely 7.0% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects the context of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors providing employment to residents include construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
Mining activity is exceptionally pronounced, with resident participation reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 5.0% of the local workforce, trailing Greater Perth's 8.2%. The disparity between local resident workers and the daytime Census working population underscores the district's residential character and the modest volume of jobs situated directly within the area. Over a 12-month period, AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures reveals a 0.9% reduction in the workforce alongside a 1.3% dip in total employment, which together lifted the jobless rate by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Perth over the same timeframe, the workforce expanded by 2.5% and employment rose by 2.0%, while unemployment also climbed by 0.4 percentage points. National forward estimates issued by Jobs and Skills Australia from Mar-26 provide additional context on future local labour requirements across five and ten-year horizons. Across the country, total positions are projected to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge by sector. Applying these broader industry trends to the specific workforce distribution of Baldivis - South points to potential local employment gains of 5.9% over five years and 12.7% over ten years, representing a baseline weighted projection that excludes localized demographic expansion.

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 — 1,697 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (26,046 at the 2021 Census → 32,300 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.
