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
As of Aug 2026, the population of Cannington - Queens Park stands at around 24,988 according to research by AreaSearch. Compared to the 20,655 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a gain of 4,333 people (21.0%). This adjustment incorporates the ABS estimated resident population figure of 24,673 as of June 2025 alongside 305 validated new addresses identified since the Census date. In terms of concentration, the area exhibits a density ratio of 2,627 persons per square kilometer, ranking within the upper quartile of locations assessed nationally by AreaSearch.
Outperforming both the national benchmark (9.5%) and the broader SA3 area, the 21.0% expansion in Cannington - Queens Park since the 2021 census positions it as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of this increase has been overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 81.2% of total population additions during recent periods. For each SA2 district, AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. To assess areas not covered by these figures and project trends post-2032, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth rates drawn from the most recent ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Demographic forecasts indicate population expansion tracking above the national median for statistical areas. Grounded in the latest annual ERP numbers, Cannington - Queens Park is projected to add 5,253 persons through to 2041, representing an overall increase of 19.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
542 new dwellings have been approved in Cannington - Queens Park over the past five years, an average of 108 a year. That places the area in the 92nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Detail
Residential building activity in Cannington - Queens Park has seen approximately 108 properties approved annually, amounting to 542 homes over the past 5 financial years. With an influx of 6.5 new residents per year for each home constructed across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to housing supply lag substantially behind demand. This disparity typically drives heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures, even though newly developed dwellings show an average value of $342,000—a level below the regional average that suggests relatively affordable housing choices for purchasers.
In addition, commercial construction demonstrates robust momentum, with $31.0 million in commercial approvals registered during this financial year. When measured against Greater Perth, building activity in Cannington - Queens Park is moderately elevated (13.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), supporting existing asset values while ensuring sound choice for buyers. The development mix consists of 74.0% detached dwellings alongside 26.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the suburban character of the area with a focus on family dwellings for purchasers seeking space. The locality also registers approximately 211 people per dwelling approval, pointing to ongoing capacity for expansion. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Cannington - Queens Park is anticipated to add 4,938 residents heading toward 2041. Should current construction volumes continue, dwelling supply could fall behind demographic growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing price appreciation.

14,412 residents of Cannington - Queens Park are employed, from a labour force of 15,069. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 74.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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
The local workforce in Cannington - Queens Park is highly educated and distributed across multiple sectors, registering an unemployment rate of 4.4% along with an estimated employment growth of 1.8% over the past year. As of March 2026, 14,412 residents are employed. Joblessness sits 0.2% above the Greater Perth rate of 4.2%, while labour force engagement remains solid, showing a participation rate of 74.1% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census responses showed that a modest 4.3% of workers operated from home, though potential impacts from Covid-19 lockdown measures should be noted.
The primary sectors of employment for local residents are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade. Accommodation & food represents a distinct local specialization, holding an employment share 1.8 times the regional level. Conversely, education & training accounts for only 5.2% of the workforce in Cannington - Queens Park, visibly below the 9.2% recorded across Greater Perth. While jobs exist within the area, Census ratios comparing the working population to local resident numbers indicate that many residents commute outward for work. Analysis by AreaSearch, drawing on SALM and ABS data, indicates that the 12-month span witnessed a 1.8% rise in employment and a 2.0% increase in the labour force, which resulted in the unemployment rate climbing by 0.2 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Perth recorded a 2.0% expansion in employment and a 2.5% growth in the labour force, leading to a 0.4 percentage point increase. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Cannington - Queens Park. These projections, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been overlaid with the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across industry sectors. When these sector-specific projections are applied to the employment mix of Cannington - Queens Park, local employment is estimated to rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, noting that this represents 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 — 305 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (20,655 at the 2021 Census → 24,988 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.
