Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Karnup

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Karnup has an estimated 2,756 residents, up from 2,096 at the 2021 Census — a change of 660 people, or 31.5%. Growth has averaged 5.4% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. 213 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 64.3% of that increase. Density is about 51 people per 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 evaluation by AreaSearch, the resident count in Karnup stands at approximately 2,756 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 660 people (31.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, when 2,096 people were recorded. This net movement is derived from the ABS estimated resident population count of 2,744 as of June 2025 alongside 213 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Such headcounts translate to a population density of 50 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious living environment. Outpacing both the state and the national average (9.5%), Karnup's 31.5% post-2021 Census expansion establishes it among the top growth localities across the broader region.

The upward trajectory was primarily fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 64.3% of total resident additions across recent timeframes, supplemented by positive inflows from natural growth and overseas arrivals. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to 2022 baseline figures) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In instances where SA2 boundaries lack this coverage, as well as for tracking post-2032 demographic patterns across all localities, age cohort growth rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 data) are incorporated. Factoring in anticipated demographic changes, the statistical area is slated to outperform the national median growth rate, expanding by 605 persons to 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures, which equals an overall rise of 21.5% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Karnup

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

295 new dwellings have been approved in Karnup over the past five years, an average of 59 a year. That places the area in the 86th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 21 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 59 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% 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 approvals in Karnup have maintained an annual pace of roughly 59 dwellings, totaling 295 homes over the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26) period, an average of 2.2 people per year have migrated to the locality for each dwelling constructed, highlighting resilient demand that underpins residential values where newly built properties show an average construction cost of $350,000, aligning with regional benchmarks. Meanwhile, registered commercial building permits this financial year stand at $157,000, pointing to subdued non-residential development.

On a per-capita basis, Karnup exceeds Greater Perth by 161.0% in local building activity, broadening options for prospective purchasers. This construction rate sits markedly above national benchmarks, underscoring substantial developer appetite for the district. Approved residential builds consist of 95.0% detached houses and 5.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving a low-density residential footprint geared toward family living and open space. Yielding an average ratio of around 45 people per dwelling approval, the suburb displays clear markers of an active growth corridor. Moving forward, projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate Karnup will add 593 residents to 2041. Under existing building rates, incoming residential supply appears well placed to satisfy demographic demand, fostering advantageous conditions for buyers while opening the door for expansion beyond projected figures.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Karnup

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,393 residents of Karnup are employed, from a labour force of 1,468. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 71.0%. 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 2,297, 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

Karnup maintains an evenly distributed employment base spanning both professional and industrial sectors, highlighted by prominent participation in construction and a local jobless rate of 5.1%. Records for March 2026 show 1,393 employed residents, alongside an unemployment rate tracking 0.9% higher than the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth, while local labor force participation broadly matches the wider metropolitan benchmark of 69.9%.

Construction shows notable local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.4 times greater than the broader regional standard. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 3.0% of employed locals, trailing the 8.2% mark across Greater Perth. Comparing the tally of locally based jobs against the total resident workforce indicates relatively restricted employment opportunities within the immediate area.

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 — 213 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,096 at the 2021 Census → 2,756 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 (507051314). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Karnup SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Karnup page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Karnup data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
