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.

Sales Detail
Booragoon has an estimated 17,959 residents, up from 15,476 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,483 people, or 16.0%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years, faster than 86% of areas nationally. 389 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 80.0% of that increase. That puts 2,645 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 research from AreaSearch, the resident count in Booragoon stands at approximately 17,959 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 15,476 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 2,483 people (16.0%). This adjustment is derived using the ABS estimated resident population of 17,792 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 389 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. With these numbers, population density reaches 2,644 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the upper quartile among areas nationwide reviewed by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the broader SA3 area and the national average (9.5%), Booragoon's 16.0% post-2021 census surge highlights its role as a regional growth hotspot.
Inward overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 80.0% of recent population increases, with natural growth and interstate migration also contributing positively. Projections compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are implemented by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, as well as for all projections beyond 2032, AreaSearch integrates age cohort growth rates from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data). Looking at demographic trajectories, the locality is modeled to experience population growth surpassing the national median for statistical areas, expanding by 2,796 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, which represents an overall 14.6% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
496 new dwellings have been approved in Booragoon over the past five years, an average of 99 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 99 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 54% 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
Dwelling consents in Booragoon have maintained a pace of roughly 99 new residential builds per year, accumulating to 496 homes over the past 5 financial years. With an inflow rate of 3.9 new residents annually for each residence constructed across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), housing demand significantly outpaces additions, intensifying buyer competition and driving upward valuation momentum. Concurrently, average construction values for incoming homes stand at $817,000, underscoring developer emphasis on upscale, high-end builds. On the commercial front, approvals totaling $13.1 million have been logged this financial year, pointing to a moderate volume of non-residential construction.
Relative to Greater Perth, residential construction in Booragoon runs slightly higher (12.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), preserving buyer choices while maintaining baseline property demand, even as recent building momentum has moderated. Among newly approved builds, 54.0% detached houses and 46.0% medium and high-density housing were recorded, demonstrating a widening spectrum of medium-density stock that caters to varying budget levels, ranging from conventional standalone residences to compact options. Recording roughly 277 people per approval, Booragoon indicates a market in transition. Projections through to 2041 indicate Booragoon will add 2,629 residents (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Prevailing rates of construction align well with prospective population demand, supporting stable market fundamentals without generating excessive upward pricing pressure.

A comprehensive 10-year review of the planning framework for the 38-hectare Booragoon activity centre, transitioning to the new Booragoon Precinct Structure Plan (BPSP). It will set the long-term direction for land use, built form, transport, and public spaces, supporting high-density residential development, retail growth, and integrating the upcoming Westfield Booragoon expansion and new $60 million library and cultural centre.
9,665 residents of Booragoon are employed, from a labour force of 9,904. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 65.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Booragoon features a highly qualified labor force with strong concentrations in professional services, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 2.4%. Total employed residents stood at 9,665 as of March 2026, while the local unemployment rate sits 1.8% below Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, alongside a workforce participation rate of 65.9% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census data showed that 12.5% of working residents operated from home, though figures may reflect the impact of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Key employment sectors for the local workforce include health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
Booragoon demonstrates specialized strength in professional & technical fields, accounting for an employment share 1.5 times the regional level. Conversely, construction represents only 7.3% of the resident workforce, trailing Greater Perth's 9.3%. Comparing Census working population counts with local resident numbers suggests substantial outward commuting for work despite existing local job opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS figures by AreaSearch indicates that across the 12-month period, the local labor pool contracted by 0.9% and employment fell by 1.3%, raising unemployment by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Perth over the same interval, employment expanded by 2.0% and the workforce increased by 2.5%, with unemployment rising 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26 provides context on future local demand. Spanning five and ten-year horizons, these forecasts were weighted against Booragoon's industry distribution. At the national scale, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with sector-specific trajectories varying substantially. Applying these sectoral metrics to Booragoon suggests local employment expansion of 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (note that this represents an illustrative weighting extrapolation and does not incorporate localized 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 — 389 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,476 at the 2021 Census → 17,959 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.
