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
Gosnells has an estimated 24,137 residents, up from 21,146 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,991 people, or 14.1%. Growth has averaged 2.0% a year over five years, faster than 82% of areas nationally. 295 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 84.0% of that increase. That puts 1,556 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Gosnells reaches approximately 24,137 as of Aug 2026. Compared against the 2021 Census total of 21,146 people, this represents an expansion of 2,991 people (14.1%). Such figures are calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 23,945 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 295 validated new addresses identified post-Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,556 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical benchmark observed across nationwide areas assessed by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the local expansion rate of 14.1% following the 2021 census outstripped the broader Australian figure (9.5%), positioning the suburb among the leading growth locations in the surrounding territory.
This demographic upturn was largely underpinned by net overseas migration, which made up around 84.0% of recent population additions. Projections for each individual SA2 territory compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied in AreaSearch's modeling. Wherever specific SA2 data is unavailable, as well as for all area projections spanning beyond 2032, growth rates across separate age brackets from the recent ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 figures) are incorporated. Looking forward, local demographic trajectory is anticipated to exceed the national median across statistical areas, expanding by 4,075 persons through to 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which equates to an overall gain of 16.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
470 new dwellings have been approved in Gosnells over the past five years, an average of 94 a year. That places the area in the 91st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 94 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
Within Gosnells, annual residential building approvals average around 94 residential properties, totaling 470 homes across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over these past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), roughly 4.9 new residents arrived each year for every home built, demonstrating that residential construction is trailing local demand by a wide margin, which generally intensifies competition among purchasers and exerts upward pressure on home values. Concurrently, newly approved residences carry an average estimated construction value of $322,000—a figure below the broader regional standard that indicates relatively affordable development options.
Furthermore, non-residential investment remains healthy, evidenced by $32.0 million in commercial development approvals logged during this financial year. On a per-capita basis, construction volume in Gosnells aligns closely with Greater Perth, keeping local conditions in balance with the wider metropolitan surroundings, even as building velocity has quickened over recent periods. Detached houses accounted for 77.0% of recent building approvals while attached residences made up 23.0%, reinforcing the established suburban environment with freestanding dwellings appealing to buyers desiring extra space. Averaging roughly 190 people per dwelling approval, the locality continues to demonstrate an evolving market landscape. Moving forward, projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate that Gosnells will add 3,883 residents by 2041. Should current construction tempos persist, residential output could find it difficult to keep pace with demographic expansion, potentially intensifying purchaser demand and placing upward pressure on property prices.

10,606 residents of Gosnells are employed, from a labour force of 11,899. Unemployment sits at 10.9%, with participation at 61.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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 20,124, about 83% 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
Gosnells features a balanced mix between white-collar and blue-collar occupations, alongside substantial representation in the industrial and manufacturing domains, accompanied by a 10.9% unemployment rate and 0.8% estimated yearly job growth. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 10,606, whereas the local jobless rate sat 6.7% above the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%, highlighting room for improvement; workforce participation was likewise subdued at 61.4% versus 69.9% across Greater Perth. In addition, Census data revealed that merely 4.0% of local workers operated from home, though potential distortion from Covid-19 restrictions must be acknowledged.
Locally, resident employment is heavily clustered in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. A notable regional specialization exists in transport, postal & warehousing, where the local concentration reaches 1.8 times the broader metropolitan level. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for only 4.6% of local jobs compared to 8.2% across the wider region. Given the contrast between the local working population count and total resident numbers recorded in Census surveys, this predominantly residential community relies heavily on jobs outside the area. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the twelve months to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.8% while the labor pool expanded by 2.0%, elevating the unemployment rate by 1.0 percentage points. Over the equivalent timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment and workforce numbers rise by 2.0% and 2.5% respectively, with its jobless rate climbing 0.4 percentage points. Additional perspective regarding future labor requirements within Gosnells is provided by national forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. These five- and ten-year expectations were applied against the local occupational structure to evaluate industry trajectories. While overall Australian employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across sectors. Applying this sectoral outlook to the local workforce base indicates potential job growth in Gosnells of 5.9% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (note that this extrapolation uses simple weighting for illustration and excludes specific local 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 — 295 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (21,146 at the 2021 Census → 24,137 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.
