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
Cottesloe has an estimated 8,960 residents, up from 7,750 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,210 people, or 15.6%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years, faster than 85% of areas nationally. 100 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 95.9% of that increase. That puts 2,389 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
As of Aug 2026, demographic assessments by AreaSearch place the population of Cottesloe at approximately 8,960. Compared to the 2021 Census count of 7,750 people, this represents an expansion of 1,210 people (15.6%). This trajectory combines the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 8,958 with 100 validated new addresses added post-Census. With 2,389 persons per square kilometer, Cottesloe registers a density placing it within the highest quartile of nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Its post-2021 Census growth rate of 15.6% outperformed the nationwide benchmark of 9.5% as well as the broader SA3 territory, establishing it as an area pacesetter.
International migration served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 95.9% of net population additions in recent times. SA2 geographic projections used by AreaSearch originate from 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models utilizing 2022 as a base year. For locations lacking this coverage, alongside all projections extending beyond 2032, models incorporate age-cohort growth rates drawn from ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts published in 2023 with 2022 base figures. Under these demographic expectations, local expansion is set to track above the national median for statistical areas. Grounded in the most recent annual ERP figures, Cottesloe is forecast to add 1,820 persons by 2041, constituting an overall rise of 20.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
216 new dwellings have been approved in Cottesloe over the past five years, an average of 43 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 43 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 77% 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 building approvals in Cottesloe have averaged approximately 43 dwellings annually, accumulating to 216 homes across the prior 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the influx stood at 3.9 new residents per year per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years, signaling a substantial shortfall in construction volume relative to buyer demand that traditionally fuels price appreciation and market competition. Concurrently, expected construction costs average $1,590,000 for newly sanctioned residences, underscoring a development emphasis on the luxury tier. Commercial activity remains robust as well, supported by $62.3 million in approved non-residential projects during this financial year.
Per-capita building approvals in Cottesloe tracked 17.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period compared to Greater Perth, supporting buyer supply alongside existing demand despite a recent moderation in construction volume. Detached dwellings represent 77.0% of recent approvals while medium and high-density housing makes up 23.0%, reinforcing an established suburban profile geared toward spacious family properties. Across the locality, there are approximately 323 people per dwelling approval, indicative of a mature urban market. Projections from AreaSearch's latest quarterly calculations indicate Cottesloe will expand by 1,818 residents up to 2041. If residential building activity stays at prevailing rates, new supply will likely trail demographic growth, compounding competition and reinforcing upward pressure on local real estate values.

Cottesloe Village Precinct and Town Centre Redevelopment
A transformative mixed-use revitalisation of the Cottesloe town centre. The project, led by Sirona Urban, features 125 luxury residences, a 128-room 5-star boutique hotel, and 2,400sqm of retail and hospitality space. Key elements include the activation of laneways, a new mid-block pedestrian link connecting Napoleon Street to the Cottesloe METRONET station, and significant public realm enhancements to improve local connectivity.
Cottesloe Foreshore Redevelopment Project
Major redevelopment of the Cottesloe foreshore to improve beach access, create additional recreational space, reduce traffic, and improve pedestrian access. Includes an amphitheater of grass terraces, a lookout and fitness area, and a pedestrian piazza.
Cottesloe Foreshore Revitalisation Project
Staged revitalisation of the Cottesloe Beach foreshore along Marine Parade between Forrest Street and Eric Street, delivered by the Town of Cottesloe. Council adopted the Foreshore Masterplan in 2018 and approved detailed construction drawings in 2021. In May 2026 the Town secured $10 million from the Australian Government's Urban Precincts and Partnerships Program, which combined with a $5 million Town contribution funds Stage One, representing about half of the overall works. Stage One converts Carpark One into public open space with terraced seating, an event plaza and landscaped community areas, widens footpaths along Marine Parade, adds traffic calming to create safer shared space for pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles, and delivers improved universal beach access plus extensive tree planting.Later stages cover an active recreation hub with upgraded junior and main playgrounds and outdoor fitness facilities, and the North Cottesloe piazza and coastal gardens. The Town continues discussions with the State Government to fund the balance of the project. Construction is expected to run about three years once it commences, with completion anticipated in late 2028 or 2029.

5,033 residents of Cottesloe are employed, from a labour force of 5,107. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 66.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% 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 8,066, about 90% 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
A distinctly skilled local labor base defines Cottesloe, featuring strong concentration in professional services, an unemployment rate standing at a minimal 1.4%, and annual job growth measured at 2.4%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,033, while the local jobless rate settled 2.7% below Greater Perth's 4.2% benchmark. Meanwhile, labor force participation came in at 66.4%, below the 69.9% recorded across Greater Perth. Census records reveal that 16.9% of local workers operated from home, though these figures coincided with Covid-19 restrictions. Health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training constitute the primary fields of employment for local residents.
The area demonstrates notable specialization in professional & technical services, employing 1.9 times the regional level. Conversely, the construction sector is relatively small, engaging 5.2% of the local workforce compared to 9.3% in Greater Perth. Given the relationship between the local working population count and resident numbers from Census records, this predominantly residential enclave provides comparatively few jobs within its borders. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS data, the period ending March 2026 saw a 2.4% rise in employment and a 2.7% expansion in the labour force, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced 2.0% employment growth alongside 2.5% labour force growth, accompanied by a 0.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand within Cottesloe. These outlooks span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth rates vary considerably. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to Cottesloe's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 7.4% over five years and 15.1% over ten years (this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative use 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 — 100 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,750 at the 2021 Census → 8,960 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.
