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
Mandurah has an estimated 11,894 residents, up from 10,256 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,638 people, or 16.0%. Growth has averaged 2.8% a year over five years, faster than 85% of areas nationally. 143 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 58.4% of that increase. That puts 1,416 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 population residing in Mandurah reached approximately 11,894 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 1,638 people (16.0%) following the 2021 Census, when the headcount stood at 10,256 people. Such growth has been determined through an ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,777 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 143 validated new addresses registered after the Census benchmark. Consequently, the local density stands at 1,416 persons per square kilometer, placing it above the national benchmark across locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the 16.0% expansion recorded since the 2021 census outpaced both the statewide rate and the national average (9.5%), establishing the suburb as a primary regional growth hub.
The majority of these demographic additions were driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 58.4% of total population increases over recent times. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 (using 2022 as their foundation year) for individual SA2 regions. In instances where SA2 boundaries lack this coverage, as well as for all forward projections extending past 2032, figures apply cohort-specific growth rates from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Anticipated demographic changes indicate that the locality will experience above-median growth relative to statistical areas across Australia, expanding by 2,129 persons to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP population statistics, which equates to an overall rise of 16.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
352 new dwellings have been approved in Mandurah over the past five years, an average of 70 a year. That places the area in the 93rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 71 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 48% 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 across Mandurah have averaged around 70 new homes per annum, delivering a cumulative 352 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. With an inflow rate averaging 4.3 new residents per year for each completed residence over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local housing demand continues to substantially exceed new supply, commonly driving up price levels and fostering heightened buyer competition, while newly built properties reflect an average construction cost of $458,000. In addition, commercial construction approvals reached $43.7 million in the current financial year, underlining substantial local commercial investment.
On a per-person basis, construction volumes in Mandurah track at approximately half the level observed across Greater Perth, yet rank within the 82nd percentile nationally, supported by a recent uptick in building activity. Medium-to-high density housing comprises 52.0% townhouses or apartments, while standalone detached dwellings represent 48.0% of new projects. This shift toward higher-density dwelling types delivers accessible market entry price points, attracting first-home purchasers, downsizers, and property investors alike. The current ratio stands at approximately 114 people per dwelling approval, reflecting a growing market environment. Long-term demographic forecasts indicate that Mandurah will absorb 2,012 residents by 2041 (benchmarked from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Prevailing construction pipelines appear well balanced with these forward demands, supporting steady market fundamentals in the absence of acute price distortion.

4,853 residents of Mandurah are employed, from a labour force of 5,242. Unemployment sits at 7.4%, with participation at 50.7%. 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, 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 15,118, about 127% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 market in Mandurah encompasses a diverse mix of blue-collar and white-collar roles, with a substantial concentration in industrial and manufacturing activities, an unemployment rate of 7.4%, and an estimated annual employment expansion of 7.6%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,853, while the jobless rate sits 3.2% above the 4.2% figure recorded for Greater Perth, pointing to potential capacity for labour absorption, and participation remains subdued at 50.7% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census responses recorded a modest 6.4% working from home, though these figures were likely influenced by pandemic-related movement restrictions.
Key sectors employing local residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, along with accommodation & food. In particular, accommodation & food displays strong local specialization, capturing an employment proportion 1.5 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, the professional & technical segment is relatively underrepresented, accounting for 3.8% employment in contrast to 8.2% regionally. A baseline ratio of 1.0 workers for each resident at the Census indicates a healthy volume of localized employment opportunities. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures indicates that over a twelve-month span, employment grew by 7.6% while the labour force expanded by 9.1%, leading to an increase in unemployment of 1.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0%, a labour force increase of 2.5%, and a rise in unemployment of 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia provides national employment forecasts for Mar-26 to help anticipate future demand in the Mandurah region. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to project growth trends. National employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific growth rates are applied to Mandurah's current employment composition, the area is expected to see employment grow by 5.8% over five years and by 12.5% over ten years. This calculation uses a basic weighting method for demonstration only and does not incorporate localized 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 — 143 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,256 at the 2021 Census → 11,894 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.
