Chart Color Schemes
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
High Wycombe has an estimated 13,603 residents, up from 12,198 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,405 people, or 11.5%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years, faster than 76% of areas nationally. 148 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 76.0% of that increase. That puts 1,564 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
As of Aug 2026, evaluations by AreaSearch place the population of High Wycombe at approximately 13,603 residents. Compared to the 12,198 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 1,405 people, or an 11.5% expansion. This calculation incorporates the ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,368 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 148 validated new addresses added following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 1,563 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark across AreaSearch study locations. The local 11.5% expansion rate since the 2021 census outperformed both the nationwide benchmark of 9.5% and the broader SA3 territory, establishing the suburb as an area growth frontrunner.
The influx was substantially underpinned by overseas arrivals, accounting for roughly 76.0% of total recent demographic gains. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures, are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries. For locations outside this dataset, as well as for all post-2032 modeling, age-cohort expansion metrics from the 2023 release of the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data) are incorporated. Looking ahead, local expansion is anticipated to track slightly under the national median for statistical regions, with current annual ERP figures pointing to an increase of 1,285 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 7.7% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
166 new dwellings have been approved in High Wycombe over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 33 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 76% 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 High Wycombe average roughly 33 dwellings each year, totaling 166 residential units sanctioned across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over these same past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 5.1 incoming residents was documented for every newly built home, creating a pronounced shortfall in supply that elevates competition and exerts upward pressure on prices. Expected construction costs average $326,000 per dwelling, trailing broader regional benchmarks and providing relatively affordable options. Concurrently, commercial building permits totaled $10.6 million throughout this financial year, pointing to steady non-residential development.
Per capita residential construction in High Wycombe sits 17.0% below the Greater Perth standard, positioning the suburb in the 53rd percentile nationally, notwithstanding recent building momentum. This below-average volume relative to the national benchmark highlights the established footprint of the neighborhood and potential zoning constraints. Separate houses constitute 76.0% of upcoming residential projects, while townhouses and apartments make up 24.0%, continuing to cater to family-oriented buyers seeking spacious suburban properties. This composition represents a notable shift away from existing local housing stock (where detached houses comprise 96.0%), reflecting tighter greenfield supply, changing household requirements, and price considerations. Currently, there are about 276 people per dwelling approval, indicating capacity for ongoing building activity. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections, High Wycombe is slated to add 1,050 residents leading up to 2041. While ongoing residential building is tracking at an adequate rate relative to forecasted demographic expansion, prospective purchasers may face heightened market tightness as the community expands.

7,501 residents of High Wycombe are employed, from a labour force of 7,829. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 71.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,021, 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
High Wycombe maintains a diverse labour pool across professional and trade occupations, with solid representation in industrial and manufacturing operations, a jobless rate of 4.2%, and an estimated 1.2% rise in employment over the preceding year. Employed residents numbered 7,501 as of March 2026, matching Greater Perth's unemployment rate of 4.2%, while local labour force participation aligns closely with the 69.9% recorded across Greater Perth. Census records indicate that merely 5.7% of workers performed their duties from home, though period pandemic measures should be taken into account. Resident employment centers primarily around retail trade, transport, postal & warehousing, and health care & social assistance.
Workforce concentration is especially marked within transport, postal & warehousing, where the local representation reaches 2.1 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, engaging just 4.6% of local workers relative to 8.2% across Greater Perth. A comparison between resident workers and local employment figures illustrates that this predominantly residential suburb offers modest internal job opportunities. AreaSearch examination of ABS and SALM figures shows that over the 12-month period, local employment grew by 1.2% while the labour pool expanded by 2.0%, elevating the unemployment rate by 0.7 percentage points. Across Greater Perth over the corresponding timeframe, employment climbed 2.0% and the workforce increased 2.5%, driving a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader perspective on future labour requirements is provided by national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. Projected across five-year and ten-year horizons against local workforce distributions, these figures model prospective changes across sectors. Nationally, employment is anticipated to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry variations remain substantial. Applying these sector trajectories to High Wycombe's current occupational base yields an estimated local employment rise of 5.8% over five years and 12.4% over ten years (a weighted structural extrapolation provided for illustration that 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 — 148 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,198 at the 2021 Census → 13,603 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.
