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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Beeliar - Wattleup stands at approximately 13,483 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 3,355 individuals (33.1%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,128 residents. This shift is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 12,870 from June 2025 alongside 862 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 469 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial room per individual and capacity for future expansion. The expansion rate of 33.1% since the 2021 census outstripped both national (9.3%) and state averages, establishing the area as a regional growth leader.
Population gains were chiefly propelled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 50.6% of the overall increase, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for forecasting growth beyond 2032, AreaSearch applies age cohort growth rates from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 using 2022 data. Future demographic patterns suggest a major population surge placing this locality in the highest national quartile, with an anticipated increase of 3,271 people by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to a total growth of 19.7% over the 16 years.

7,576 residents of Beeliar - Wattleup are employed, from a labour force of 7,818. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 75.7%. 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 11,085, about 82% 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
Beeliar - Wattleup is characterized by a skilled resident workforce, with notable representation in industrial and manufacturing fields, and an unemployment rate standing at just 3.1%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,576, with the unemployment rate tracking 1.1% below the 4.2% recorded for Greater Perth, and the participation rate significantly elevated at 75.7% compared to 70.2% for the metropolitan area. Census data indicated that a minimal 6.7% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and manufacturing.
Notably, the manufacturing sector shows a high concentration, employing residents at 1.6 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for 6.2% of the local workforce compared to 8.2% across Greater Perth. The balance between the local working population and resident numbers suggests a shortage of job opportunities within the immediate area. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw a 0.9% contraction in the labour force and a 1.0% drop in employment, which kept the unemployment rate relatively unchanged. Over the same interval, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% lift in employment and a 2.5% expansion of its labor force, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point increase in its rate. Long-term national employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help clarify prospective demand trends in Beeliar - Wattleup. These five- and ten-year national outlooks have been aligned with the local employment structure to project growth. Although national employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Weighting these national sector projections against the occupational mix of Beeliar - Wattleup suggests local employment could expand by 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, assuming a simple industry distribution model without adjusting for specific local 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 — 862 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,128 at the 2021 Census → 13,483 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 May 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.
