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.

Mullaloo - Kallaroo has an estimated 12,957 residents, up from 11,493 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,464 people, or 12.7%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 82.9% of that increase. That puts 2,200 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Mullaloo - Kallaroo reaches approximately 12,957 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,464 people (12.7%) from the 11,493 people recorded during the 2021 Census. Such movement is determined using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population total of 12,947 alongside 53 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 2,199 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical benchmarks observed across nationwide locations reviewed by AreaSearch. Outperforming both the nationwide mark (9.5%) and its broader SA3 area, Mullaloo - Kallaroo's 12.7% post-2021 census expansion positions it among regional growth leaders.
The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion has been overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 82.9% of total recent population increases. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to 2022) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For territories excluded from these datasets, or to project demographic trends beyond 2032 across all locations, AreaSearch incorporates age cohort growth figures from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 figures). Moving forward, demographic patterns indicate the locality will exceed national median population growth rates, expanding by 2,134 persons up to 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall rise of 16.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
177 new dwellings have been approved in Mullaloo - Kallaroo over the past five years, an average of 35 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 86% 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 approvals in Mullaloo - Kallaroo have averaged roughly 35 new homes annually, amounting to 177 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. With an influx of 6.1 new residents per annum per completed dwelling over the prior 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local demand heavily outpaces newly delivered housing stock, a dynamic that typically intensifies buyer competition and stimulates capital growth. Furthermore, construction activity is marked by an emphasis on quality, with approved residential dwellings averaging an estimated building cost of $538,000, which sits higher than prevailing regional figures.
Highlighting the territory's overwhelmingly domestic profile, commercial development consents reached $441,000 during the current financial year. Compared with the Greater Perth region, building volumes across Mullaloo - Kallaroo are moderately elevated (tracking 11.0% above the regional average per capita across the 5 year period), preserving purchasing opportunities while reinforcing local asset values. Nevertheless, construction trails the national benchmark, underscoring the established landscape of the area and pointing toward potential planning restrictions. Detached houses constitute 86.0% of recent residential building activity, with multi-unit or attached dwellings accounting for 14.0%, thereby preserving its low-density suburban atmosphere designed for households seeking larger accommodation. The district records around 375 people per dwelling approval, representative of a mature urban market. Looking toward the future, Mullaloo - Kallaroo is anticipated to absorb an additional 2,124 residents by 2041, relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Should dwelling delivery maintain its existing pace, newly created stock could fall short of resident inflows, potentially driving up purchasing competition and underpinning property prices.

7,500 residents of Mullaloo - Kallaroo are employed, from a labour force of 7,631. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 71.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,884, about 76% 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
A highly qualified labor force characterizes Mullaloo - Kallaroo, with robust participation across essential services, a minimal unemployment rate of 1.7%, and an estimated 3.6% growth in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 7,500 residents are employed. The jobless rate sits 2.5% lower than the 4.2% recorded for Greater Perth, while workforce engagement closely mirrors the wider regional level of 69.9%. Census records indicate that 12.3% of the workforce worked remotely, though conditions surrounding Covid-19 lockdowns must be acknowledged. The primary employment fields for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training.
The workforce displays a prominent skew toward the construction industry, where local participation reaches 1.4 times the regional norm. In contrast, transport, postal & warehousing represents a smaller share, engaging 2.7% of workers locally against 4.7% regionally. The area's heavily suburban layout corresponds with limited internal job provision, as demonstrated by Census comparisons between the working population and the resident labor pool. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the 12 months to March 2026, employment grew by 3.6% against a 3.8% increase in the workforce, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise in the local unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% employment expansion, a 2.5% increase in the labor pool, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Further perspective regarding forward labor requirements in Mullaloo - Kallaroo is provided by national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied across the local occupational profile to assess potential trends. While national workforce numbers are projected to increase by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, trajectories vary across distinct sectors. Calibrating these sector forecasts to the local workforce composition indicates that employment among residents could rise by 6.5% across five years and 13.5% across ten years (though this represents an illustrative weighted extrapolation without integrating specific local demographic changes).

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 — 53 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,493 at the 2021 Census → 12,957 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 (505011079). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
