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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Middle Swan - Herne Hill supports roughly 6,590 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 912 people (16.1%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 5,678 people. The updated figure combines the ABS estimated resident population of 6,580 as of June 2025 with 259 validated new addresses registered post-Census. With a density of 205 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers substantial living space alongside capacity for ongoing expansion. Surpassing both the Western Australian baseline and the national average (9.5%), the area's 16.1% post-2021 census expansion highlights it as an outperforming growth hub.
Inbound overseas migration served as the foremost catalyst, generating roughly 49.3% of total population additions in recent periods, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and interstate arrivals. Projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia (2024 release, 2022 base year) are incorporated for SA2 localities. For unlisted SA2s and post-2032 modeling, calculations apply the age cohort growth metrics published in the ABS Greater Capital Region series (2023 release using 2022 data). Forward-looking estimates place the district above the national median for expansion, with the latest annual ERP numbers pointing to an increase of 944 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 14.2% rise across the 16 years.

Detail
Residential planning approvals across Middle Swan - Herne Hill have maintained a pace of roughly 45 dwellings per year, culminating in 229 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because the area absorbed an average of 3.6 new residents per year per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), structural demand continues to outstrip incoming supply, heightening buyer competition and placing upward pressure on values, with new builds averaging an estimated construction cost of $411,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $48.4 million during this financial year, reflecting solid business sector investment.
On a per capita basis, building activity in Middle Swan - Herne Hill reaches approximately 63% of the Greater Perth benchmark, placing it within the 84th percentile of evaluated Australian locations amid a recent acceleration in building works.

3,537 residents of Middle Swan - Herne Hill are employed, from a labour force of 3,747. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, with participation at 67.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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. 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 labor market in Middle Swan - Herne Hill displays a diversified composition of blue-collar and white-collar roles, underpinned by substantial representation across industrial and manufacturing trades, a jobless rate of 5.6%, and 3.7% in estimated annual employment growth. By March 2026, employed residents reached 3,537, while local unemployment sat 1.4% higher than the Greater Perth figure of 4.2%. Labor force participation was recorded at 67.6%, slightly beneath Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records showed that only 8.8% of workers performed their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents include health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Transport, postal & warehousing exhibits a pronounced local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.6 times above the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.4% of Middle Swan - Herne Hill's working population, compared to 8.2% across Greater Perth. Comparing Census working population counts against resident totals indicates that many inhabitants commute to job centers outside the immediate area. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures for the year to March 2026, resident employment expanded by 3.7% alongside a 4.1% rise in the total labor force, shifting the jobless rate upward by 0.3 percentage points. Across Greater Perth, employment climbed 2.0%, the labor pool widened 2.5%, and unemployment rose 0.4 percentage points over the same timeframe. National workforce projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future labor demand. Benchmarking these five- and ten-year nationwide expectations against the local industry base provides an indicative outlook: against national projected expansions of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, Middle Swan - Herne Hill's industry distribution points to prospective local job growth of 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (calculated as a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration without incorporating 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 — 259 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,678 at the 2021 Census → 6,590 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 (504031065). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
