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.

The community's population density stands at 1,179 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch assessment zones. Expanding by 17.1% since the 2021 census, Falcon - Wannanup outpaced both the statewide pace and the 9.5% national average, establishing itself as a regional growth frontrunner.
Net interstate migration served as the primary demographic driver by delivering roughly 51.5% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Population projections produced by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models baseline-set to 2022 across individual SA2 boundaries. For locations outside this dataset as well as projections extending past 2032 across all territories, age cohort growth metrics from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (grounded in 2022 data) are applied. Forward-looking demographic modeling points to an expansion rate exceeding the median of Australian statistical areas, projecting Falcon - Wannanup to add 1,886 persons by 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, which represents an overall gain of 16.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
401 new dwellings have been approved in Falcon - Wannanup over the past five years, an average of 80 a year.

Detail
Residential planning activity in Falcon - Wannanup has registered approximately 80 new dwelling approvals per annum, accumulating to 401 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. With an influx averaging 3.8 new residents annually for every residential unit built during the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to local housing supply remain well behind resident demand, typically intensifying buyer competition and upward pricing trends. Newly approved residences reflect an average expected construction cost of $483,000, moderately higher than broader regional averages and highlighting an orientation toward premium builds.
In parallel, commercial building approvals have totaled $6.6 million during this financial year, underscoring the locality's predominantly residential character. Relative to Greater Perth, per-capita residential construction volume across Falcon - Wannanup sits at approximately 62%, placing the district in the 76th percentile among nationally tracked markets. Recent residential development is heavily dominated by detached houses at 96.0%, with attached dwellings accounting for just 4.0%, reinforcing an established low-density suburban landscape tailored toward buyers seeking spacious family residences. Building activity currently reflects about 143 people per dwelling approval, pointing toward an expanding urban market. Urban demographic projections anticipate that Falcon - Wannanup will register an addition of 1,859 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If prevailing rates of construction are sustained, the upcoming pipeline of residential additions should adequately accommodate incoming demand, supporting favorable market conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

5,100 residents of Falcon - Wannanup are employed, from a labour force of 5,255. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 54.2%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 9,714, about 86% 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
Falcon - Wannanup maintains a balanced labor market characterized by a blend of blue-collar and white-collar roles, featuring prominent industrial and manufacturing employment, an unemployment rate standing at only 2.9%, and an estimated annual job growth rate of 8.2%. Employed residents numbered 5,100 as of March 2026, while the local jobless rate sits 1.2% under the 4.2% figure seen across Greater Perth; however, the local workforce participation rate of 54.2% trails significantly behind Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records showed that a modest 9.1% of workers carried out their duties from home, a metric subject to the effects of Covid-19 restrictions during that period.
Local workforce participation is heavily clustered within construction, mining, as well as health care & social assistance. Mining shows an exceptional concentration among resident workers, standing at 1.8 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, making up only 3.6% of the Falcon - Wannanup workforce in contrast to 8.2% across Greater Perth. Comparisons between resident workers and local workplace counts demonstrate that this largely residential setting provides a limited volume of local jobs. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures show that over the twelve months to March 2026, the area experienced an 8.2% increase in employment alongside a 9.0% expansion in the total labor force, resulting in a 0.7 percentage points rise in unemployment. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment grow by 2.0%, the labor pool rise by 2.5%, and unemployment tick up by 0.4 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further perspective on long-term labor demand for Falcon - Wannanup across five and ten-year horizons. Across the country, total employment is projected to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories fluctuate widely by industry. When weighted against the local occupational composition, these industry trajectories suggest local resident employment will rise by 5.6% over five years and 12.3% over ten years, serving as an illustrative structural weighting that excludes localized demographic 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 — 75 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,664 at the 2021 Census → 11,315 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 (502011022). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
