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
Roleystone has an estimated 7,839 residents, up from 7,243 at the 2021 Census — a change of 596 people, or 8.2%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 58.1% of that increase. That puts 105 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 demographic evaluations by AreaSearch, the resident count in Roleystone stands at approximately 7,839 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 596 residents, or an 8.2% expansion, relative to the 7,243 individuals documented in the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 7,831 recorded in June 2025 alongside 38 validated new addresses identified following the Census benchmark. With a resulting density of 104 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample personal space and capacity for future expansion. The community's 8.2% post-census uplift trails the nationwide pace of 9.5% by just 1.3 percentage points, reflecting resilient underlying expansion.
Inbound overseas migration formed the primary demographic catalyst, accounting for roughly 58.1% of overall additions over recent intervals, while natural increases and interstate arrivals also remained in positive territory. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024, anchored on a 2022 baseline, are applied by AreaSearch across individual SA2 boundaries. For unmapped SA2 localities and all growth expectations beyond post-2032, models incorporate cohort-specific trajectory rates from the ABS 2023 release for Greater Capital Region territories (utilising 2022 benchmarks). Guided by these demographic patterns, future expansion is anticipated to track above median national benchmarks, adding 947 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP baselines, which translates to a cumulative 12.0% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
92 new dwellings have been approved in Roleystone over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential planning permissions in Roleystone have averaged roughly 18 dwellings per annum, totaling 92 residential approvals across the latest 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Net demographic gains have generated an average influx of 4.6 people each year for every newly delivered dwelling during these 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), causing local housing demand to outpace additions, exerting upward pressure on property values and intensifying buyer interest, with new homes registering an average construction cost of $470,000. Non-residential development has remained limited, with $1.7 million logged in commercial approvals throughout this financial year, underscoring the suburb's housing-oriented landscape.
New residential building activity across Roleystone is notably muted when benchmarked against Greater Perth, sitting 77.0% below regional levels per capita. This restrained building pipeline generally supports price growth and buyer competition across existing stock, despite a recent uptick in building approvals. Dwelling additions also fall below broader Australian figures, illustrating local maturity alongside potential zoning or topographical constraints. Furthermore, all recent building permits have been strictly for detached houses, reinforcing the low-density, open-space character that appeals to lifestyle-driven purchasers. Currently, there are around 311 people per dwelling approval across the catchment, signaling further capacity for development. Longer-term demographic projections indicate that Roleystone will expand by 939 residents out to 2041 relative to recent AreaSearch quarterly updates. If the current tempo of dwelling construction remains unchanged, residential supply may struggle to match demographic growth, which will likely heighten purchaser competition and bolster home valuations.

4,394 residents of Roleystone are employed, from a labour force of 4,513. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 69.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,151, 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.
Detail
Roleystone possesses a well-qualified local labour force with substantial participation across industrial and manufacturing trades, alongside a low jobless rate of 2.6% and a 1.8% annual rise in workforce numbers. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,394, while the proportion of unemployed individuals sat 1.6% under the 4.2% figure logged for Greater Perth, and local labour force participation aligned with the Greater Perth benchmark of 69.9%. Census data indicated that only 10.7% of local workers operated from home, an estimate that reflects prevailing Covid-19 mobility constraints. The primary employment fields for the local workforce consist of construction, health care & social assistance, alongside education & training.
The community shows an especially heavy weighting toward construction, where local representation is 1.2 times that of the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for 11.0% of local jobs, below the 14.8% observed across Greater Perth. A comparison between Census resident workers and local employment positions suggests that employment opportunities within the immediate area remain relatively constrained. An examination of ABS and SALM figures by AreaSearch reveals that across the 12-month tracking window, local employment rose by 1.8% while the total labour pool expanded by 2.0%, lifting unemployment by 0.2 percentage points. Over the equivalent timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise 2.0% and the labour force grow 2.5%, driving a 0.4 percentage points increase in joblessness. Broader national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context for future workforce requirements in Roleystone. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied against the local sector distribution to model future demand. Against projected nationwide employment increases of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies widely. Weighting these outlooks against the existing worker profile suggests Roleystone could achieve employment gains of 5.9% across five years and 12.6% over ten years (representing a baseline illustrative distribution that excludes localized demographic 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 — 38 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,243 at the 2021 Census → 7,839 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.
