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.

Beechboro has an estimated 27,113 residents, up from 21,348 at the 2021 Census — a change of 5,765 people, or 27.0%. Growth has averaged 4.8% a year over five years, faster than 94% of areas nationally. 1,110 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 576 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 findings from AreaSearch, the resident count in Beechboro stands at roughly 27,113 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census total of 21,348 people, this represents an expansion of 5,765 people (27.0%). This upward shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 26,928 as of June 2025 alongside 1,110 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With a density of 575 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous personal space and capacity for ongoing urban expansion. Outpacing both Western Australia and the wider country (where the national average was 9.5%), Beechboro's 27.0% post-2021 census surge positions it at the forefront of regional growth.
Interstate migration served as the primary catalyst, delivering around 38.2% of recent overall gains, though overseas arrivals and natural increase also delivered positive contributions. Projections developed by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In areas lacking this specific coverage, as well as for all post-2032 modeling, estimates incorporate age-cohort trajectory rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 data). Looking at forward demographic patterns, the location is projected to sit within the highest quartile among Australian statistical divisions, adding 6,179 persons through to 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP metrics, which equates to an overall 16-year expansion of 22.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,349 new dwellings have been approved in Beechboro over the past five years, an average of 269 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 269 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential planning approvals across Beechboro have averaged roughly 269 new dwellings each year, totaling 1,349 homes over the recent 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). In that same timeframe (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 4.2 people arrived locally for every home constructed, meaning buyer demand outpaces additions to housing stock. While this imbalance commonly elevates purchasing competition and pricing, typical building costs sit at an average of $332,000 per dwelling—tracking lower than regional norms and pointing to accessible entry points for buyers. Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $22.1 million during this financial year, underscoring ongoing non-residential investment.
Per-capita building volumes in Beechboro match Greater Perth averages, reinforcing local market equilibrium consistent with wider urban trends. These levels sit considerably above national rates, reflecting elevated builder and developer commitment in the area. Recent dwelling approvals comprise 96.0% detached houses against 4.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving a low-density suburban profile aimed at families looking for spacious properties. Recording around 100 people per approval, the district continues along an active development trajectory. Moving toward 2041, Beechboro is projected to accommodate an additional 5,994 residents relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction momentum indicates that future housing supply will comfortably absorb projected inflows, fostering favorable conditions for prospective purchasers and potentially enabling expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

14,527 residents of Beechboro are employed, from a labour force of 15,182. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 71.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 21,268, about 78% 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
Beechboro is characterized by a proficient labor pool where manufacturing and industrial industries hold significant presence, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.3% and an estimated employment growth of 4.1% during the previous year. On March 2026, the number of residents employed stood at 14,527, and the local unemployment rate was 0.1% higher than the Greater Perth rate of 4.2%, while workforce participation remained largely comparable to Greater Perth's 69.9%. According to Census data, only 5.1% of residents reported working from home, although the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account when interpreting these figures.
Resident employment centers predominantly around health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. A clear local specialization exists in transport, postal & warehousing, which captures a concentration 1.6 times that of the broader region. Conversely, education & training accounts for a smaller footprint at 5.9% of the local workforce compared to 9.2% regionally. Evaluating the resident workforce against the number of local jobs captured in the Census indicates that employment opportunities within the immediate boundaries remain limited. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that employment grew by 4.1% during the 12 months ending March 2026, whereas the labour force expanded by 4.0%, resulting in relatively stable unemployment levels. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0% and labour force growth of 2.5%, which contributed to a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts, originating from Mar-26, provide additional context for understanding future demand in Beechboro. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate potential growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected 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 forecasts are applied to Beechboro's current employment composition, local employment is expected to grow by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years. It is important to note that this projection relies on a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 1,110 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (21,348 at the 2021 Census → 27,113 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.
