Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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 the analysis of AreaSearch, the population of Exmouth is approximately 5,433 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 774 people (16.6%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 4,659 people. The adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,419 combined with 106 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level results in a density of 0.00 persons per square kilometer, showing a high level of space per inhabitant. The 16.6% growth rate in Exmouth since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (8.2%) as well as the national figure, positioning it as a growth leader locally.

Growth in the local population was mostly spurred by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 43.2% of the total population increase during recent times, though interstate migration, natural growth, and other elements were also positive contributors. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 locality, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For SA2 localities without this coverage, and to calculate growth trajectories for the period after 2032, AreaSearch employs cohort-specific growth rates from the latest Greater Capital Region projections of the ABS (published in 2023 using 2022 data). Demographic patterns indicate that regional areas outside capital cities are projected to see above-median population increases, with this specific area expected to add 856 persons to 2041 based on recent annual ERP statistics, which represents a total growth of 15.5% over the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Exmouth

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

3,114 residents of Exmouth are employed, from a labour force of 3,160. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 70.2%. 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

The local workforce is highly skilled with a strong representation of tourism and hospitality workers, an unemployment rate of only 1.5%, and an estimated 3.6% growth in jobs over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,114, while the unemployment rate was 2.1% lower than the 3.5% rate in Regional WA, and the participation rate remained typical (70.2% compared to 65.6% for Regional WA). Data from the Census indicated that only 8.6% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.

Resident employment is primarily centered in accommodation & food, public administration & safety, and retail trade. The local concentration of jobs in accommodation & food is particularly high, reaching 2.4 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 5.6% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 11.9% average for Regional WA. Although there are local employment options, a comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests many locals commute outside the area for work. According to the AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 3.6% and the overall labor force expand by 3.3%, which reduced the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Regional WA experienced a 0.1% decline in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labor force, and a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context regarding future demand in Exmouth. These five-year and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate employment trends. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local employment structure suggests local employment will rise by 5.6% over five years and 11.7% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local 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 — 106 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 May 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.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Exmouth SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Exmouth page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Exmouth data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Jul 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
