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 demographic research by AreaSearch, the resident count of East Victoria Park - Carlisle stands at approximately 20,007 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census tally of 17,245 people, this indicates an expansion of 2,762 people (16.0%). This adjustment incorporates the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population figure of 19,989 alongside 139 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. With 3,190 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density ranks within the top quarter of nationwide benchmarks evaluated by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the state and the nationwide benchmark (9.5%), the area's 16.0% expansion post-2021 census establishes it as a regional growth outperformer.
The primary driver of this demographic surge has been overseas migration, which made up around 83.7% of recent net additions. Projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are implemented by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries. For unmapped locations and periods beyond 2032, models incorporate age-cohort trajectory metrics from the ABS Greater Capital Region release (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 data). Demographic forecasting points to above-median gains relative to national areas, projecting an increase of 4,172 persons by 2041 according to updated annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 20.8% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
284 new dwellings have been approved in East Victoria Park - Carlisle over the past five years, an average of 56 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 57 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 81% 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
Across the preceding 5 financial years, residential building approvals in East Victoria Park - Carlisle have averaged approximately 56 new dwellings each year, generating 284 homes in aggregate. Over this 5 financial year span (between FY-22 and FY-26), roughly 7.4 people moved to the neighborhood for every completed home, highlighting a considerable supply shortfall that intensifies buyer competition and drives upward value movement. During this period, newly created residences recorded an average construction value of $459,000. Additionally, commercial development has maintained steady momentum, with approvals reaching $9.3 million this financial year.
Dwelling approval volume per capita across East Victoria Park - Carlisle tracks at roughly half that of Greater Perth, positioning the locality in the 33rd percentile across the country. Such constrained pipeline activity limits options for prospective purchasers and reinforces demand for established housing stock. This below-national-average pace underscores the established nature of the suburb and points to possible planning constraints. The mix of new residential projects consists of 81.0% standalone homes alongside 19.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving its suburban fabric of spacious properties designed for family living. Reflecting a mature built environment, the suburb records around 448 people per dwelling approval. According to the latest quarterly forecasts from AreaSearch, East Victoria Park - Carlisle is anticipated to add 4,154 residents by 2041. Should current construction rates persist, additions to the housing stock could struggle to meet incoming population growth, which may heighten buyer competition and stimulate elevated property price increases.

12,602 residents of East Victoria Park - Carlisle are employed, from a labour force of 13,028. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 76.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 17,089, about 85% 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
East Victoria Park - Carlisle features an educated talent base with strong engagement across essential service industries, maintaining an unemployment rate of merely 3.3% alongside an estimated 1.8% rise in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed locals total 12,602, while local unemployment sits 0.9% below the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%. Participation in the labour market is notably elevated at 76.3%, outperforming Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records indicate that just 8.6% of workers worked from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Key sectors employing local residents include health care & social assistance, professional & technical, as well as education & training.
The community shows a distinctive concentration in professional & technical fields, where workforce representation exceeds regional levels by 1.4 times. Conversely, retail trade accounts for only 7.4% of resident workers, trailing the 9.3% seen across Greater Perth. The balance between local jobs and resident workers from Census records confirms that this predominantly residential precinct provides limited employment opportunities within its own boundaries. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that employment rose by 1.8% and the labour force expanded by 2.0% during the year ending March 2026, which led to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0%, labour force growth of 2.5%, and an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia for the period beginning Mar-26 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand in East Victoria Park - Carlisle. These projections, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been overlaid with the local employment profile to estimate potential growth trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, although sectoral growth rates vary substantially. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to the employment composition of East Victoria Park - Carlisle, the anticipated local employment increases are 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, though this calculation represents a straightforward weighting exercise for illustrative purposes and excludes localized population assumptions.

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 — 139 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,245 at the 2021 Census → 20,007 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 (506021119). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
