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
Demographic assessment by AreaSearch indicates that the resident count in Hamilton Hill stands at roughly 13,193 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 11,327 people recorded during the 2021 Census, this demonstrates an expansion of 1,866 individuals (16.5%). This adjustment incorporates the ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,081 as of June 2025 alongside 259 validated new addresses added following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 1,992 persons per square kilometer, tracking above the typical benchmark across nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Hamilton Hill outperformed both state figures and the nationwide benchmark (9.5%) with its 16.5% post-2021 census expansion, establishing it among the regional leaders in growth.
International arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 69.0% of recent population additions, with natural increase and interstate arrivals also delivering positive contributions. Projections published in 2024 by Geoscience Australia and the ABS (utilising 2022 as the base reference period) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For unrepresented districts and post-2032 modeling, age-cohort trajectories sourced from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (issued in 2023 using 2022 data) are incorporated. Looking forward, the locality is modeled to outpace the national median for population gains, adding 2,485 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP releases, representing an overall expansion of 18.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
391 new dwellings have been approved in Hamilton Hill over the past five years, an average of 78 a year. That places the area in the 89th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 79 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 66% 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 authorisations in Hamilton Hill have averaged approximately 78 dwellings annually, accumulating to 391 homes over the past 5 financial years. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), roughly 3.8 new residents arrived for each completed residence, indicating that local supply substantially trails inbound demand and creating heightened buyer competition that places upward pressure on prices. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $340,000—below wider metropolitan benchmarks—supporting more accessible price points. Concurrently, non-residential development remains steady, with commercial approvals amounting to $11.2 million this financial year.
Hamilton Hill generates new residential construction permits per resident at approximately three-quarters of the pace recorded across Greater Perth, placing it within the 73rd percentile of nationwide markets analyzed. Recent building activity consists of 66.0% standalone houses and 34.0% multi-unit formats like apartments and townhouses, demonstrating a diversifying stock of attached formats catering to varied budgets, ranging from entry-level residences to larger family properties. With approximately 159 residents for each building approval, the community exhibits key markers of an expanding urban market. According to the newest quarterly projections from AreaSearch, the population of Hamilton Hill is slated to expand by 2,373 residents leading up to 2041. While building activity is progressing at a reasonable rate relative to future needs, ongoing demographic expansion may intensify competition among prospective purchasers.

6,938 residents of Hamilton Hill are employed, from a labour force of 7,462. Unemployment sits at 7.0%, with participation at 66.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% 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 10,678, about 81% 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
Hamilton Hill possesses a skilled labour pool with substantial representation across essential community industries, alongside a 7.0% jobless rate. Working residents numbered 6,938 as of March 2026, while the local unemployment rate exceeds the 4.2% figure seen across Greater Perth by 2.8%, accompanied by a slightly lower labour participation rate (66.9% versus 69.9% across Greater Perth). Only 8.2% of residents reported working from home at the Census, although pandemic-related containment measures at the time may have influenced this outcome. Local workers are predominantly engaged across construction, education & training, and health care & social assistance.
Health care & social assistance represents a notable regional strength, employing a share of workers 1.2 times greater than the metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, mining accounts for just 5.2% of local employment relative to 7.0% across Greater Perth. Comparing the resident workforce against the number of local jobs captured in Census data suggests the suburb operates primarily as a residential district with modest internal employment capacity. An examination of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch indicates that in the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.9% as overall employment fell by 1.1%, elevating the unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% rise in employed persons, a 2.5% increase in the total labour force, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader workforce projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for local employment prospects. These outlooks, mapped over five-year and ten-year timeframes against the area's industry profile, project national workforce growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though sector outcomes vary. Projecting these industry forecasts onto Hamilton Hill's employment base indicates potential local job increases of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (noting this weighted model is illustrative and excludes local 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 — 259 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,327 at the 2021 Census → 13,193 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.
