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.

Detail
According to evaluations by AreaSearch, the resident count of Mandurah - North stands at roughly 28,494 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 7,233 people (34.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 21,261 people. Such an adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 26,873 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 2,797 validated new addresses registered following the Census benchmark. Consequently, population density settles at 894 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical levels across regions evaluated by AreaSearch. Outpacing both state figures and the national benchmark of 9.5%, Mandurah - North's 34.0% post-2021 census surge positions it at the forefront of regional expansion.
Net arrivals from interstate migration generated roughly 69.2% of these recent population additions, though natural growth and overseas migration also provided positive momentum. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as their starting point, form the foundation of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. Where specific SA2 coverage is absent or when modeling trajectories beyond 2032 across all localities, age-bracket growth metrics from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 data) are applied. Looking ahead, the locality is on track for population expansion exceeding the Australian statistical area median, gaining an estimated 5,463 persons by 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures, translating to an overall rise of 13.5% across the 16 years.

13,280 residents of Mandurah - North are employed, from a labour force of 13,581. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 63.2%. 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 23,759, 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
Mandurah - North features a diverse workforce spanning blue-collar and professional roles, characterized by prominent industrial and manufacturing employment, a jobless rate sitting at just 2.2%, and an estimated 8.2% annual gain in jobs. As of March 2026, employed locals total 13,280, keeping the local unemployment figure 2.0% lower than the Greater Perth mark of 4.2%, while labor force engagement of 63.2% trails the regional level of 69.9%. Census records indicate that only 7.3% of workers operated from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time should be factored into that figure.
Major employers of the local resident base include retail trade, health care & social assistance, and mining. Resource extraction displays particular local concentration, with the mining workforce proportion standing at 1.6 times regional norms. Conversely, technical & professional roles remain underrepresented, comprising just 4.0% of the workforce in Mandurah - North against 8.2% across Greater Perth. The balance between local working population and resident workers at the Census underscores that this primarily suburban district offers limited employment within its own borders. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM indicators demonstrates that over the 12-month period, a workforce expansion of 8.9% accompanied an 8.2% rise in employment, lifting the jobless rate by 0.6 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment climb 2.0% and the labor pool expand 2.5%, alongside a 0.4 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Broader labor market trajectories are outlined by Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with wide variation across industries. Calibrating these sectoral trends against the industry profile of Mandurah - North suggests local workforce opportunities could expand 5.8% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (calculated via simple weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes, excluding localized 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 — 2,797 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (21,261 at the 2021 Census → 28,494 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 (502011027). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
