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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count for Mindarie - Quinns Rocks - Jindalee stands at approximately 25,397 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 4,633 people (22.3%) compared to the 20,764 people recorded during the 2021 Census.

The locality's 22.3% post-2021 census expansion outperformed both the nationwide rate (9.5%) and the wider SA4 region, establishing it as a primary regional growth hub.
Inbound overseas migration served as the principal demographic catalyst, accounting for roughly 54.4% of total population expansion over recent timeframes, with natural growth and interstate migration also contributing positively. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For localities outside this scope, as well as for extending projections beyond 2032 across every region, AreaSearch incorporates age-cohort growth rates sourced from the most recent Greater Capital Region projections by the ABS (issued in 2023 utilizing 2022 data). Ongoing demographic momentum points toward expansion that exceeds national statistical area medians, with the community projected to add 3,468 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP metrics, translating to an overall rise of 11.1% across the 16 years.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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 19,725, about 78% 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.

Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing shows lower engagement, employing 3.1% of the workforce in Mindarie - Quinns Rocks - Jindalee versus 4.7% across Greater Perth. Comparing Census resident worker numbers against local job positions reveals that this primarily residential locality offers limited workplace options within its own boundaries. AreaSearch evaluated data from SALM and ABS to determine that during the year to March 2026, employment rose by 3.4% and the labour force grew by 3.8%, which resulted in the unemployment rate increasing by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced employment growth of 2.0% and labour force growth of 2.5%, alongside an unemployment increase of 0.4 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Mindarie - Quinns Rocks - Jindalee. These projections, spanning five and ten-year periods, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth trends. Although national employment is expected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary considerably across different industry sectors. When these industry-specific projections are applied to Mindarie - Quinns Rocks - Jindalee's employment mix, local employment is projected to increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years. This calculation represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate 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 — 967 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (20,764 at the 2021 Census → 25,397 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 (505031105). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
