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
Roebourne has an estimated 5,770 residents, up from 5,187 at the 2021 Census — a change of 583 people, or 11.2%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years, faster than 75% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 54.5% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 findings by AreaSearch, the resident count for Roebourne stands at approximately 5,770 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 5,187 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a gain of 583 people (11.2%). This figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,770 alongside 10 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With a density of 0.40 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers considerable space per inhabitant. Expanding by 11.2% since the 2021 census, Roebourne outperformed both the national average (9.5%) and the Rest of WA, positioning it among the top growth areas in the broader region.
Natural increase was the primary catalyst for this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 54.5% of recent overall population gains. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (anchored on 2022 base data) are incorporated by AreaSearch for each SA2 district. To evaluate areas not covered by these datasets and to forecast trends beyond post-2032, growth rates by age group from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 figures) are applied. Looking ahead, local expansion is expected to track slightly beneath the median for national regional districts, with current annual ERP data indicating an addition of 655 persons to 2041, representing a total increase of 11.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
162 new dwellings have been approved in Roebourne over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That is 5.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 32 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% 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 building approvals in Roebourne have averaged roughly 32 per annum, accumulating to 162 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. With an influx averaging 1.5 new residents per year per dwelling constructed across the 5 financial years between FY-22 and FY-26, balance between demand and supply has supported market stability; nevertheless, this metric escalated to 40.5 people per dwelling throughout the last 2 financial years, pointing toward heightened interest and potential dwelling shortages. Newly approved homes carry an average construction value of $280,000, sitting below regional benchmarks to deliver more accessible entry points for buyers.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $56.8 million during this financial year, demonstrating considerable momentum in non-residential development. Dwelling construction in Roebourne has been comparatively active when assessed against Rest of WA, exceeding the regional per capita benchmark by 37.0% across the 5 year period, which maintains choice for buyers and protects existing values despite a recent softening in building volume. Recent building projects consist of 94.0% detached dwellings alongside 6.0% attached dwellings, reinforcing the low-density landscape and satisfying demand for spacious family properties. Developers have prioritized standalone houses above the baseline observed at the Census (77.0%), reflecting enduring preference for standalone residences despite broader densification patterns. A ratio of 3794 people per dwelling approval underscores the calm, subdued pace of local construction activity. Demographic projections from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate that Roebourne will expand by 655 residents by 2041. Given prevailing development patterns, the anticipated residential pipeline appears well placed to absorb demand, sustaining favourable conditions for buyers and potentially enabling demographic gains beyond existing forecasts.

The development covers around 5.27 square kilometres and is expected to include up to 325,000 solar panels (with an initial 160,000), 48 inverters, and to generate enough electricity to power around 40,000 homes annually.Subject to a Rio Tinto State Agreement and joint venture partner approvals, Jinbi will connect directly to Rio Tinto's existing transmission infrastructure to help decarbonise its Pilbara iron ore operations. The project was the first to be approved under WA's Green Energy Approvals Initiative, secured environmental approval in 2024, development application approval from the Shire of Ashburton in December 2024, and Lead Agency Status. Construction is targeted to begin in 2026 with operations expected by 2028.
3,105 residents of Roebourne are employed, from a labour force of 3,201. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 69.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.4% 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 7,744, about 134% 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
Roebourne maintains a balanced employment base encompassing both professional and trade vocations, highlighted by strong manufacturing and industrial footprints, an unemployment rate sitting at only 3.0%, and annual employment growth estimated at 3.6%. As of March 2026, working residents numbered 3,105, with unemployment measuring 0.5% beneath the 3.5% reported for Regional WA, while the labour participation rate of 69.2% sits close to the Regional WA benchmark of 65.4%. According to Census records, working from home was limited to 2.4% of the workforce, though Covid-19 restrictions at the time should be noted.
The primary sectors supporting local employment are mining, health care & social assistance, as well as education & training. Mining shows an exceptional presence locally, with workforce representation reaching 3.9 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for merely 0.5% of the local workforce in Roebourne compared to 9.3% across Regional WA. Recording 1.2 workers for every resident at the Census, the locality serves as a major commercial center, providing more positions than resident workers and drawing commuters from neighboring communities. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics shows that in the year to March 2026, jobs grew by 3.6% alongside a 3.7% increase in the labour force, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional WA experienced an employment reduction of 0.1%, a 0.3% rise in the labour pool, and a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future demand trends for Roebourne. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model upcoming trajectories. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years with notable divergence by industry, applying these sector rates to Roebourne indicates local jobs could grow by 4.4% over five years and 10.9% over ten years (note that this weighting extrapolation is illustrative and excludes local 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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,187 at the 2021 Census → 5,770 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 (510031273). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
