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
Exmouth has an estimated 5,433 residents, up from 4,659 at the 2021 Census — a change of 774 people, or 16.6%. Growth has averaged 2.6% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 108 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 43.2% of that increase. 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, AreaSearch estimates that Exmouth is home to approximately 5,433 residents. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 4,659 people, this represents an expansion of 774 people (16.6%). This demographic shift is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,419 recorded in June 2025 alongside 108 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The local population density stands at virtually unpopulated levels per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space for inhabitants. Outpacing both the national standard and the SA4 region (8.2%), Exmouth's 16.6% expansion since the 2021 census positions it at the forefront of regional growth.
Net overseas arrivals served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 43.2% of recent net additions, though interstate relocation and natural increase likewise yielded positive contributions. Projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a starting baseline) by ABS/Geoscience Australia are utilized by AreaSearch across individual SA2 locations. For unmapped SA2 localities or to project figures following 2032, AreaSearch incorporates age-cohort growth trajectories from the 2023 Greater Capital Region dataset released by the ABS (anchored to 2022 metrics). Forward-looking estimates suggest population gains will outstrip the median across regional non-metropolitan Australia, with local numbers projected to expand by 799 persons by 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, equating to an overall increase of 14.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
240 new dwellings have been approved in Exmouth over the past five years, an average of 48 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 48 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 79% 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 across Exmouth have averaged roughly 48 dwellings per annum, totaling 240 homes over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same 5 financial years timeframe (between FY-22 and FY-26), the locality absorbed an average of 2.7 new residents each year for every dwelling constructed, demonstrating healthy underlying demand that underpins local property values. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $531,000—moderately higher than regional figures—pointing toward high-standard residential projects. Concurrently, non-residential investment remains active, with $26.4 million in commercial development approvals recorded in the current financial year.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Exmouth exceeds that of Rest of WA by 64.0%, expanding opportunities for purchasers. The mix of incoming housing approvals consists of 79.0% detached dwellings alongside 21.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving a low-density neighborhood profile oriented around family living and spacious environments. Recording approximately 128 people per dwelling approval, Exmouth exhibits clear hallmarks of an expanding locality. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Exmouth is anticipated to gain 785 residents through to 2041. Ongoing construction volumes indicate that future residential supply will readily accommodate this incoming demand, fostering favorable buyer conditions and potentially facilitating demographic expansion beyond current projections.

Solomon Iron Ore Project Expansion
Proposal to increase the footprint and mining life of the Solomon Iron Ore Project, including expanding mining operations, rail infrastructure, and an external borefield.
3,114 residents of Exmouth are employed, from a labour force of 3,160. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 70.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Exmouth features a capable labor pool heavily oriented toward hospitality and visitor services, maintaining a minimal unemployment rate of 1.5% alongside a 3.6% annual rise in estimated workforce employment. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,114, while the jobless rate sits 2.1% lower than the 3.5% seen across Regional WA. Labor force participation remains standard at 70.3%, outpacing the 65.4% recorded across Regional WA. Census data indicated that a modest 8.6% of workers operated from home, though broader pandemic restrictions at the time should be kept in mind. Accommodation & food, public administration & safety, and retail trade represent the primary sectors employing local residents.
The workforce is distinctly specialized in accommodation & food, showing an employment concentration 2.4 times the regional standard. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 5.6% of local employment, compared to 11.9% throughout Regional WA. Although positions exist locally, comparing Census workplace counts to resident counts suggests substantial outbound commuting among the local labor force. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures indicates that from the year to March 2026, employment grew by 3.6% and the labour force expanded by 3.3%, which resulted in the unemployment rate decreasing by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Regional WA experienced a 0.1% drop in employment alongside 0.3% labour force growth, leading to a 0.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. Further perspective on potential future demand within Exmouth can be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts originating Mar-26. These projections span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid onto the local employment profile to estimate future growth patterns. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Exmouth's current employment mix, local employment is expected to grow by 5.6% over five years and 11.7% over ten years, though this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localised 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 — 108 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,659 at the 2021 Census → 5,433 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 (511021277). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
