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
Leeming has an estimated 11,692 residents, up from 10,883 at the 2021 Census — a change of 809 people, or 7.4%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 78.5% of that increase. That puts 1,745 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Leeming stands at approximately 11,692 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 809 people (7.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, when 10,883 people were recorded. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,692 as of June 2025 alongside 10 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. With these numbers, population density reaches 1,745 persons per square kilometer, sitting above the nationwide benchmark across locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Leeming's post-census expansion of 7.4% trails the national mark (9.5%) by only 2.1 percentage points, showing solid underlying momentum.
The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion has been overseas migration, which generated roughly 78.5% of net population additions over recent timeframes. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) for each SA2. For unlisted SA2 localities and all post-2032 modeling, age-cohort growth estimates from the ABS Greater Capital Region release (published in 2023, based on 2022 data) are applied. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to track marginally below the median of AreaSearch statistical areas, with expectations that the locality will gain 851 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, translating to an overall expansion of 7.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
56 new dwellings have been approved in Leeming over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 1.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. 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 Leeming have averaged approximately 11 new homes annually, accumulating to 56 homes across the prior 5 financial years. With an inflow averaging 8 new residents per year for every home constructed across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), housing demand outstrips new supply by a wide margin, creating upward pressure on prices and fostering buyer competition, with new residences carrying an average construction value of $439,000. Additionally, commercial development has remained quiet, with $2.1 million in commercial approvals logged during this financial year.
When evaluated against Greater Perth, building activity across Leeming is remarkably subdued (82.0% below regional average per person). Such constrained new residential additions tend to reinforce demand and underpin values across the established market. This volume is also lower than the national benchmark, highlighting the established profile of the suburb and pointing to possible planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent building permits have been for detached houses, preserving the low-density suburban landscape and catering to space-focused purchasers. The area records approximately 1280 people per dwelling approval, underscoring its mature urban footprint. Long-term forecasts indicate Leeming will expand by 851 residents by 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Should dwelling delivery maintain its historical cadence, residential construction may lag population intake, heightening competition among prospective buyers and driving real estate valuation growth.

6,656 residents of Leeming are employed, from a labour force of 6,742. Unemployment sits at 1.3%, with participation at 69.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,185, about 79% 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
The local labour pool in Leeming is highly qualified, demonstrating considerable representation across essential service industries and maintaining an unemployment rate of only 1.3%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 6,656, while the local jobless rate sits 2.9% below the Greater Perth mark of 4.2%, and the participation rate matches Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records indicate that just 11.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though potential distortions from Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be taken into account. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical.
The suburb displays notable employment concentration in education & training, holding a workforce share 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the construction sector accounts for only 6.9% of local employment, trailing the 9.3% seen across Greater Perth. As a largely residential enclave, internal employment capacity remains modest, as evidenced by comparing the Census working population against resident worker numbers. According to AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures, the twelve-month period ending March 2026 saw labour force levels drop by 0.9% while employment fell by 0.8%, which caused the unemployment rate to fall by 0.1 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0% and labour force growth of 2.5%, with unemployment rising 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Leeming. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. Although national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Leeming's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,883 at the 2021 Census → 11,692 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.
