Landsdale

Landsdale lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

AreaSearch indicates that Landsdale has a population of approximately 17,885 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,484 residents (16.1%) from the 15,401 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This change is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 17,852 alongside 198 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,473 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of national sites analyzed by AreaSearch. The local expansion rate of 16.1% since the 2021 census outpaced the national average of 9.3% and the broader SA4 region, establishing the suburb as a regional growth leader. This population rise was mainly driven by international migration, which accounted for roughly 44.5% of the total gains, though natural increase and interstate migration also made positive contributions.

For each SA2 location, AreaSearch uses projections released in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which use 2022 as a baseline. For SA2 areas without these specific projections, and to estimate growth past 2032, cohort-specific growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 data) are applied. Future demographic analysis projects population expansion above the national median, with the suburb expected to gain 3,724 residents by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a total growth of 20.6% over the 16 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Landsdale among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Residential approvals in Landsdale run at roughly 100 new dwellings per year, with 503 homes approved during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 49 recorded so far in FY-26. With an average of 4.7 new residents added for each completed home during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, local demand is outpacing supply, which generally drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new properties average a construction value of $194,000—a figure below the regional average that offers more economical options for home buyers.

Landsdale generates approximately two-thirds the volume of new residential approvals per capita compared to Greater Perth, ranking in the 52nd percentile of areas evaluated across Australia. The composition of new building approvals consists of 98.0% detached houses and 2.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving a suburban landscape dominated by spacious family homes. With roughly 316 people per dwelling approval, Landsdale represents a developing construction market.

Projections indicate that Landsdale will add 3,691 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction levels appear to match future demands, supporting balanced market conditions with minimal price pressure.

Landsdale has emerging levels of nearby infrastructure activity, ranking in the 29thth percentile nationally

Employment conditions in Landsdale demonstrate exceptional strength compared to most Australian markets

The local workforce is highly educated, featuring strong representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors, a low unemployment rate of 3.1%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.3% over the prior year. In March 2026, 10,717 residents were employed, while the unemployment rate sat 1.1% below the 4.2% recorded for Greater Perth, and labor force participation reached 81.0%, well above the capital city average of 70.2%. Census records show that a low 7.1% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 lockdowns.

Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community displays a notable concentration in retail trade, where the employment share is 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, education & training is less represented at 7.3% compared to the regional average of 9.2%. The largely residential character of the suburb appears to limit local employment opportunities, as shown by the difference between the Census working population and resident population figures.

According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, during the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 3.3% while the labor force expanded by 3.8%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0%, labor force growth of 2.5%, and a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate employment trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Applying these national sector trends to the local industry mix indicates that Landsdale employment could grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate localized population growth estimates.

The economic profile demonstrates exceptional strength, placing the area among the top 10% nationally based on comprehensive AreaSearch income analysis

The median taxpayer income in the Landsdale SA2 is $68,089 and the average income is $82,054, compared to Greater Perth averages of $60,748 and $80,248 respectively. Incorporating Wage Price Index growth of 10.93% since financial year 2023, estimated incomes would be approximately $75,531 (median) and $91,023 (average) in March 2026. Census data shows household, family, and personal incomes all rank in the 74th to 89th percentiles nationally. The largest weekly household income cohort is $1,500 - 2,999, representing 40.5% of households (7,243 residents), which aligns with the regional figure of 32.0% in this range. A high proportion of households (35.3%) earn over $3,000 weekly, indicating strong local purchasing power for retail and services. Home loan and rental costs account for 16.3% of income, yet strong earnings keep disposable income in the 87th percentile, and the SEIFA index places the area in the 7th decile for income.
