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
Maylands has an estimated 15,439 residents, up from 13,294 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,145 people, or 16.1%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 86% of areas nationally. 149 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 84.7% of that increase. That puts 3,076 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
AreaSearch evaluations estimate the population of Maylands at roughly 15,439 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2021 Census tally of 13,294 people, this indicates an expansion of 2,145 people (16.1%). This updated total is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 15,435 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 149 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. With 3,075 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density ranks within the upper quartile among nationwide areas assessed by AreaSearch. Outpacing the 9.5% national average as well as the broader SA3 area, Maylands's 16.1% rate of increase positions it at the forefront of regional growth.
The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion was overseas migration, generating approximately 84.7% of total population additions in recent periods. Projections for each SA2 area released by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024, utilising 2022 as a baseline, have been adopted by AreaSearch. Where SA2 data is unavailable, and to model demographic shifts past 2032 across all regions, age-cohort growth rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 data) are applied. Looking ahead, the locality is forecast to experience an increase exceeding the national median across statistical areas, expanding by 2,596 persons to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP metrics, representing an aggregate rise of 16.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
133 new dwellings have been approved in Maylands over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That places the area in the 58th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 88% 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
Dwelling approvals in Maylands have averaged approximately 26 residential units annually, adding up to 133 homes over the past 5 financial years. Across this 5 financial years period (spanning FY-22 and FY-26), the area gained an average of 12.8 new residents per year per residential completion, indicating that buyer demand outstrips newly built stock and typically fuels competitive bidding and asset appreciation. Newly constructed properties carry an average value of $524,000, which sits higher than typical regional levels and signals a focus on premium construction. Concurrently, commercial approvals have totalled $4.4 million this financial year, pointing to restrained non-residential development activity.
Per capita residential building approvals in Maylands run at approximately half the level recorded across Greater Perth, placing the suburb in the 29th percentile across Australia. This modest approval volume constrains choice for incoming purchasers and redirects interest toward established dwellings. Development levels also trail national benchmarks, underscoring the established urban character of the suburb and potential planning constraints. Of all new residential approvals, detached dwellings comprise 88.0% and townhouses or apartments represent 12.0%, reinforcing the suburban fabric with low-density housing geared toward buyers seeking living space. This emphasis on standalone dwellings noticeably exceeds baseline Census patterns (where houses made up 31.0%), highlighting persistent appetite for detached properties despite wider densification pressures. Across the area, there are approximately 511 people per dwelling approval, representative of a mature residential landscape. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Maylands is projected to expand by 2,592 residents through to 2041. Should dwelling construction persist at its current pace, additions to the housing stock could lag behind demographic expansion, heightening buyer competition and underpinning upward pressure on property values.

10,593 residents of Maylands are employed, from a labour force of 10,977. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 80.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 11,646, about 75% 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 workforce in Maylands is characterized by high levels of educational attainment and strong participation across essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of just 3.5% and estimated employment growth of 3.8% across the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 10,593. The jobless rate sits 0.7% below the 4.2% benchmark of Greater Perth, while labor participation reaches 80.8%, well above the 69.9% recorded across Greater Perth. Census records show that a modest 9.1% of working residents operated from home, though this figure must be evaluated against the backdrop of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
Key pillars of resident employment comprise health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. Professional & technical industries display exceptional local concentration, with resident representation reaching 1.4 times regional averages. In contrast, the construction sector accounts for 5.9% of workers, trailing the 9.3% regional benchmark. Given its predominantly residential profile, the suburb generates fewer jobs locally than its resident labor base requires, as evidenced by comparing Census working population numbers against total resident workers. SALM and ABS data evaluated by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12-month period, local employment expanded by 3.8% while the labor pool grew by 4.0%, causing a 0.2 percentage points increase in unemployment. Across Greater Perth, employment rose by 2.0% and the workforce increased by 2.5%, lifting unemployment by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking employment trends can be gauged via the national forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. These five and ten-year projections have been weighted against the local occupational profile. Nationally, employment is anticipated to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge by sector. Applying these industry growth rates to the employment composition of Maylands indicates a prospective expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (note that this serves as an illustrative weighting exercise and excludes localized population models).

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 — 149 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,294 at the 2021 Census → 15,439 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.
