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.

North Coogee has an estimated 5,054 residents, up from 3,741 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,313 people, or 35.1%. Growth has averaged 6.4% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 225 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 67.2% of that increase. That puts 1,825 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of North Coogee stands at roughly 5,054 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,313 people (35.1%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 3,741 people. That adjustment stems from an ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,965 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 225 validated new addresses added post-Census. With these numbers, the local density reaches 1,824 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across Australian territories examined by AreaSearch. Surpassing both the broader state and the nationwide mark of 9.5%, North Coogee's 35.1% post-2021 Census surge places it among the premier regional expansion hubs.
Inflow from interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 67.2% of total population additions over recent timeframes. Projections compiled jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 using 2022 as their benchmark year, form the foundation for AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. For locations omitted from that release or to map trajectory after 2032, AreaSearch applies age-bracket growth metrics published by the ABS within its 2023 Greater Capital Region forecasts (utilizing 2022 figures). Accounting for these anticipated demographic patterns, the locality is on track for upper-quartile national expansion, projected to gain 1,303 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP metrics, which equates to an overall 24.0% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
514 new dwellings have been approved in North Coogee over the past five years, an average of 102 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 20 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 103 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 49% 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
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential building approvals across North Coogee have run at an annual average of about 102 units, delivering 514 homes in aggregate. Across the 5 financial years spanning between FY-22 and FY-26, the area added an average of 2.6 new residents annually for every dwelling created, demonstrating robust absorption that underpins real estate values. Meanwhile, incoming residences carry an average construction price tag of $724,000, underscoring homebuilder emphasis on higher-end, prestige housing. In addition, commercial building consents for the current financial year total $1.0 million, reinforcing the district's predominantly domestic environment.
North Coogee generates 193.0% more per-capita building volume than Greater Perth, broadening supply for prospective purchasers even as construction velocity has cooled somewhat over recent intervals. This output substantially surpasses countrywide standards, highlighting elevated builder confidence. The current construction breakdown features 49.0% detached houses alongside 51.0% attached dwellings. Moving toward medium-density formats creates accessible purchasing price points that cater well to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. With approximately 55 people per dwelling approval, North Coogee displays typical hallmarks of an expanding urban enclave. Looking ahead, updated quarterly projections from AreaSearch indicate North Coogee will expand by 1,214 residents by 2041. Given prevailing building trends, incoming residential stock appears well placed to satisfy demographic demand, fostering balanced market conditions and potentially underpinning growth beyond baseline forecasts.

3,074 residents of North Coogee are employed, from a labour force of 3,107. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 69.6%. 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, 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 4,092, about 81% 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
North Coogee is characterized by an educated talent pool, significant employment in core community services, and an exceptionally low jobless rate of 1.1%. As of March 2026, employed locals total 3,074 residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 3.1% below the 4.2% registered across Greater Perth, while labor force involvement matches Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census data indicated that only 12.1% of working residents operated from home, though temporary pandemic-era restrictions must be kept in mind. The primary employment fields for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, education & training, together with professional & technical services.
The community displays an especially pronounced clustering in professional & technical fields, outpacing the wider metropolitan concentration by 1.2 times. Conversely, accommodation & food accounts for merely 3.9% of resident jobs, trailing the 6.8% recorded across Greater Perth. Because the suburb is primarily residential, internal job creation remains modest when comparing Census-based day worker numbers to total resident labor. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that across the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.9% in tandem with a 0.9% fall in employment, while jobless tallies held practically constant. Over the identical span, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% employment rise, a 2.5% expansion in its labor pool, and a 0.4 percentage points increase in unemployment. Additional guidance on upcoming workforce requirements in North Coogee is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's national job forecasts released in Mar-26. Projected across five and ten-year windows, these broader trends have been weighted against the local occupational makeup. Across the country, employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variation across industry categories. Aligning these sectoral projections with North Coogee's workforce distribution suggests local job numbers could advance by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and excludes local 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 — 225 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,741 at the 2021 Census → 5,054 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 (507011158). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
