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
Kalgoorlie has an estimated 13,701 residents, up from 13,213 at the 2021 Census — a change of 488 people, or 3.7%. That puts 583 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
AreaSearch indicates the population of Kalgoorlie stands at approximately 13,701 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 488 residents (3.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 13,213 individuals. The estimate is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,686 combined with 71 validated new addresses identified since the Census. This population size results in a density of 583 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future expansion. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for about 72.1% of the overall population increase during recent times.
Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied to each SA2 region. For areas lacking this coverage, and to project growth past 2032, growth rates by age cohort from the latest 2023 Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data) are utilised. Long-term forecasts suggest a population rise slightly below the median of national non-metropolitan zones, with an anticipated increase of 1,299 individuals by 2041 based on recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 9.4% gain over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
164 new dwellings have been approved in Kalgoorlie over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That is 2.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 24 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 63% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 21, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An average of 32 new residential approvals have been registered annually in Kalgoorlie, culminating in 164 dwellings over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 20 approvals have been documented. Since the population decreased over the preceding period, housing supply has kept pace with demand, maintaining a balanced market with varied options for buyers, while new builds average a construction cost of $230,000—a figure below the regional standard—pointing to more economical choices for purchasers. Commercial approvals have reached $60.8 million this financial year, pointing to robust local business investment.
Kalgoorlie exhibits slightly elevated construction activity relative to Rest of WA (46.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period), preserving buyer choices while supporting existing home values, though development momentum has slowed recently. This level of activity remains below the national average, reflecting the mature nature of the locality and potential constraints in planning. New construction consists of 62.0% detached houses and 38.0% attached dwellings, indicating a growing proportion of medium-density choices that provide diverse price points from conventional family residences to more economical compact options. The ratio of 557 people per dwelling approval reflects a subdued, low-volume construction climate. Projections indicate Kalgoorlie will add 1,284 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of homes may fall short of population growth, which could heighten buyer competition and stimulate faster price appreciation.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Goldfields Pipeline Renewal (Stage 1)
Stage 1 of a long-term, 70-year program to renew the historic 566km Goldfields and Agricultural Water Supply Scheme (GAWSS), which was commissioned in 1903 and runs from Mundaring Weir near Perth to Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The first stage involves replacing 44.5km of ageing original pipe with new sections installed primarily below ground in the Shires of Merredin, Westonia, and Yilgarn. Works also include valve upgrades to improve network reliability and a major expansion of the Binduli Reservoir in Kalgoorlie, doubling its storage capacity.The upgrades will lift scheme capacity by up to 7.2 million litres per day from 2027 to support residential, mining and industrial growth across the Goldfields and Wheatbelt while preserving the pipeline's National Heritage values. Funded through a 543 million dollar commitment in the 2025-26 State Budget. Heritage Management Plan and Interpretation Strategy were approved by the Commonwealth Government in July 2025. Construction is scheduled to commence in May 2026 and complete by late 2027.
Kalgoorlie Rail Realignment
The project involves realigning the rail line through Kalgoorlie to bypass the Super Pit gold mine, remove 25 kilometers of existing track, and construct new lines connected to an intermodal hub. It aims to reduce pressure on Fremantle Port, streamline transport, and support industrial development. A business case was delivered by Deloitte and Arup for the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission in partnership with the Australian and Western Australian governments.
Kalgoorlie-Boulder Water Bank Project
A multi-stage water security initiative led by the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder to strengthen the city's non-potable water supply through improved stormwater capture, recycled water treatment, and storage infrastructure. Stage 1 (around 19 million dollars) covers the Rock Filter upgrade at the South Boulder Wastewater Treatment Plant and a new water recycling dam at the existing Racecourse Dam site. Stage 2 (around 46.3 million dollars) adds two further dams plus a pipeline and pump station to move recycled water to Swan Lakes Dam.Stage 3 (around 26.7 million dollars) delivers another dam, a pilot desalination plant in partnership with industry, and evaporative controls on selected dams and basins. The program builds on 12.2 million dollars already invested between 2020 and 2023 to upgrade the South Boulder treatment lagoons, and aims to reduce the city's reliance on the Goldfields Pipeline as the population grows and major industrial users such as Lynas Rare Earths increase demand. The City is continuing to seek state and federal funding to deliver the remaining stages.
Lot 101 Brookman Street Redevelopment
Redevelopment of the 1.52-hectare former Coles and Kmart site in the Kalgoorlie CBD. Following an EOI process for demolition and mixed-use development in 2024, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder is progressing planning for a high-density precinct under LPS2. The site is zoned Commercial R-AC1, allowing for up to 9 storeys with required active non-residential uses at ground level. As of May 2026, the project remains in the pre-development planning phase with a focus on heritage-sensitive demolition and CBD activation.
KCGM 800-Bed Workers Accommodation Camp
An 800-bed workforce accommodation facility for Northern Star Resources supporting the KCGM Growth Project and Super Pit expansion. The approved development includes 200 four-room accommodation cabins, communal dining, gym, laundry, offices, maintenance facilities, parking, a new water pipeline and sewer connection. Following revisions to address planning concerns, the WA Development Assessment Panel approved the project in July 2025. The camp will support construction and operational workforce requirements associated with the KCGM expansion.
GreenView at Karlkurla
GreenView at Karlkurla is a residential land estate in Kalgoorlie, WA, delivered by DevelopmentWA on Karru Way, adjacent to the Kalgoorlie Golf Course and natural bushland. The estate is being released in stages, with Stage 4 now titled and almost fully sold, offering lots from 638sqm to 1,039sqm starting at $205,000. The estate includes a landscaped park with a children's playground and dual-use pathways, and previously included a component of social housing lots. It sits close to Hannans Boulevard Shopping Centre and North Kalgoorlie Primary School, and provides a mix of single residential and multi-residential (townhouse/apartment) lots across roughly 130 total homesites.
Lot 505 Kalgoorlie Industrial Area
The project involves the future development of 206 to 214 hectares of industrial-zoned land located south-west of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The area is planned to feature larger general industrial lots to cater for typical general and heavier industrial users, providing access to a RAV10 heavy vehicle road network and existing rail networks.
Workers Lifestyle Village
A modular village with 100 homes for essential workers, easing housing pressures. Includes communal facilities, pool, and caretaker's residence in first stage of 393 total homes.
8,148 residents of Kalgoorlie are employed, from a labour force of 8,321. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 76.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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, featuring strong representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.1%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.5% over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 8,148, with an unemployment rate 1.4% below the Regional WA average of 3.5%, and labor force participation significantly elevated at 76.2% compared to 65.6% in Regional WA. Census records show a low 3.1% of workers operating from home, though the influence of COVID-19 restrictions should be kept in mind. The primary employment sectors for local workers are mining, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
Mining shows an exceptionally high concentration, employing residents at 2.3 times the regional average rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented at 0.2% compared to 9.3% across the region. A ratio of 0.8 jobs per resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher-than-average volume of local employment opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the 12-month period, employment expanded by 3.5% while the labor force grew by 3.4%, keeping the unemployment rate steady. This stands in contrast to Regional WA, where employment decreased by 0.1%, the workforce grew by 0.3%, and unemployment increased by 0.4 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on future local demand. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the local employment distribution suggests Kalgoorlie's jobs should increase by 5.2% over five years and 11.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes 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 — 71 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,213 at the 2021 Census → 13,701 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 (511031279). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
