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
Rockingham has an estimated 18,827 residents, up from 16,411 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,416 people, or 14.7%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 83% of areas nationally. 141 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 60.8% of that increase. That puts 527 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 population residing in Rockingham stands at approximately 18,827 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 16,411 people counted in the 2021 Census, this demonstrates an expansion of 2,416 people (14.7%). This metric builds on the ABS estimated resident population figure of 18,827 recorded in June 2025 alongside 141 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With 527 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space and capacity to support future residential expansion. Expanding by 14.7% since the 2021 census, Rockingham outperformed the wider Australian benchmark (9.5%), establishing itself as an area of notable growth.
Net overseas arrivals served as the main catalyst for local population expansion, generating roughly 60.8% of the net population additions across recent periods. Projections published jointly in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the base point, form the foundation of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. Where specific SA2 coverage is absent, and for long-term estimates past 2032 across all districts, age-cohort growth rates drawn from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region data (derived from 2022 benchmarks) are incorporated. Looking ahead, Rockingham is anticipated to record population increases exceeding the median for Australian statistical areas, expanding by 3,419 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, which equals an overall rise of 18.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
270 new dwellings have been approved in Rockingham over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 84th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 74% 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 past 5 financial years, residential approvals in Rockingham have averaged approximately 54 homes per year, accumulating to 270 homes. Across the past 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), the locality registered 8.2 new residents annually per completed dwelling, showing that construction is trailing demographic demand; such an imbalance typically intensifies buyer interest and adds upward pressure on property values, with newly constructed homes averaging an expected construction cost of $449,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals reached $830.2 million this financial year, underscoring substantial commercial expansion. Per-capita construction volumes in Rockingham are 68.0% below regional average per person relative to Greater Perth.
While recent times have seen an uptick in building, this restrained construction rate commonly underpins buyer interest and valuations for existing stock. Volumes also remain below the national norm, characteristic of an established district and potentially signaling local planning constraints. Detached houses accounted for 74.0% of recent approvals, while townhouses or apartments represented 26.0%, preserving a low-density urban footprint tailored to families wanting spacious living. Recording approximately 239 people per dwelling approval, the local property sector continues to evolve. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release, demographic projections indicate Rockingham will welcome 3,419 residents by 2041. Should current approval volumes persist, the supply of dwellings could fall short of resident inflows, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward price momentum.

Planning approval was granted by the Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel in late 2025.
Rockingham Strategic Centre Precinct Structure Plan
The Rockingham Strategic Centre Precinct Structure Plan, approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission in January 2026, guides the future subdivision and development of the area from Rockingham Train Station to the foreshore over the next 10 years. It aims to establish a green, walkable centre connecting activity hubs via high-frequency public transport, accommodating an estimated 15,093 dwellings and 30,000 residents across diverse sub-precincts.
8,860 residents of Rockingham are employed, from a labour force of 9,711. Unemployment sits at 8.8%, with participation at 58.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% 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 23,092, about 123% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 labour market encompasses a combination of white-collar and blue-collar professions alongside strong representation in essential services, with an unemployment rate of 8.8%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 8,860, while unemployment sat 4.6% above Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, pointing to potential for workforce absorption. Furthermore, the local participation rate of 58.4% trails Greater Perth's 69.9% by a considerable margin. Census findings showed that just 5.7% of workers operated from home, though Covid-19 restrictions during that period may have influenced this outcome. The primary sectors supporting local employment are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, alongside construction.
The community displays exceptional concentration in public administration & safety, where local employment share is 2.7 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, making up only 3.3% of the local workforce relative to 8.2% across Greater Perth. A Census-recorded ratio of 1.0 workers for each resident demonstrates solid local employment capacity. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures show that in the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.9% and total jobs fell by 1.4%, pushing joblessness up by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% rise in employment, a 2.5% expansion in its labour force, and a 0.4 percentage points increase in unemployment. Employment outlooks released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future hiring across Rockingham over five- and ten-year horizons when weighted against the area's economic base. Countrywide employment is expected to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary by industry. Projecting these trends onto Rockingham's sector profile suggests local workforce expansion of 5.7% over five years and 12.3% over ten years (note that this illustrative weighting does not incorporate localized demographic 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 — 141 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,411 at the 2021 Census → 18,827 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.
