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
Demographic assessment by AreaSearch indicates that the population of College Grove - Carey Park stands at approximately 7,617 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 641 people (9.2%) relative to the 2021 Census, when 6,976 people were recorded. This growth calculation incorporates the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population figure of 7,602 alongside 31 validated new addresses confirmed following the census benchmark. With a density metric of 784 persons per square kilometer, the locality aligns closely with typical regional benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the 9.2% post-census expansion trails the national benchmark (9.5%) by just 0.3 percentage points, underscoring solid underlying momentum.
Net overseas migration served as the primary growth engine, accounting for roughly 63.0% of all recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 across the region incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data anchored to a 2022 baseline year. Where localized SA2 coverage is unavailable, as well as for all forward projections beyond 2032, models draw upon cohort-specific growth projections published by the ABS in its 2023 Greater Capital Region release (utilising 2022 data). Anticipated demographic patterns point toward above-median expansion relative to regional Australian benchmarks, with local headcounts expected to rise by 1,308 persons by 2041 according to prevailing annual ERP figures, marking an overall 17.0% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
71 new dwellings have been approved in College Grove - Carey Park over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential building approvals across College Grove - Carey Park averaged roughly 14 new dwellings annually, delivering 71 homes in aggregate. Across the 5 financial years spanning FY-22 to FY-26, the area absorbed an average of 6.2 people annually for each newly consented residence, creating a notable demand-supply imbalance that tends to drive price growth and buyer competition. Newly constructed homes average an estimated build cost of $311,000, sitting below broader regional benchmarks and providing comparatively affordable entry points. Meanwhile, commercial development has remained subdued, with $4.3 million in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year.
Residential building volumes in College Grove - Carey Park remain substantially muted compared to the Rest of WA benchmark, sitting 65.0% below the per-capita regional norm despite a slight uptick in recent construction. This subdued pipeline is also lower than national averages, reflecting established urban surroundings alongside potential planning constraints, which in turn tends to bolster demand and pricing for established stock. Single-family detached houses represent 93.0% of recent completions, with townhouses or apartments comprising the remaining 7.0%, sustaining the neighborhood's low-density profile and appeal to buyers seeking larger allotments. An estimated ratio of 355 people per residential building approval highlights the quiet, constrained development landscape. According to the latest quarterly forecasts from AreaSearch, College Grove - Carey Park is slated to add 1,293 residents by 2041. Should current construction tempos persist, residential completions could fall short of incoming resident demand, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing property price appreciation.

3,331 residents of College Grove - Carey Park are employed, from a labour force of 3,574. Unemployment sits at 6.8%, with participation at 55.3%. 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. 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 College Grove - Carey Park maintains a balanced blend of white-collar and blue-collar occupations, featuring substantial industrial and manufacturing employment alongside an unemployment rate of 6.8% and year-on-year employment growth of 1.0%. In March 2026, employed locals numbered 3,331, while the jobless rate sat 3.3% higher than the Regional WA figure of 3.5%, indicating untapped capacity. Labour market engagement is also comparatively muted, with a participation rate of 55.3% versus 65.4% across Regional WA. Only 2.6% of residents reported working from home during the Census, a figure potentially influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions.
Workforce concentration is greatest across health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Specialisation is especially pronounced in health care & social assistance, where local employment concentration is 1.4 times the regional standard. Conversely, primary industry represents a minor component of the local workforce, with agriculture, forestry & fishing engaging only 1.2% of workers in College Grove - Carey Park compared to 9.3% across Regional WA. Comparing local resident worker tallies from the Census to on-site employment suggests a substantial share of residents commute outside the immediate locality for their jobs. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures for the 12 months ending March 2026, local employment expanded by 1.0% while the overall labour force grew by 0.9%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. This outpaced Regional WA, which saw a 0.1% decline in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labour pool, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Drawing on Jobs and Skills Australia national projections released in Mar-26, national employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral growth trajectories against the local industry profile suggests College Grove - Carey Park could see employment gains of 5.9% across five years and 12.9% across ten years, noting that this simple extrapolation illustrates broader structural shifts without modeling localized demographic changes.

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 — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,976 at the 2021 Census → 7,617 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (501021008). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
