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
Spearwood has an estimated 13,056 residents, up from 11,268 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,788 people, or 15.9%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 85% of areas nationally. 250 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 60.1% of that increase. That puts 2,003 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 in Spearwood stands at approximately 13,056 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 11,268 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 1,788 people (15.9%). This demographic shift is derived using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,932 as of June 2025 alongside 250 validated new addresses added following the Census. The suburb's density reaches 2,002 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figures across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. With a 15.9% expansion rate since the 2021 census, local growth outpaced both the national average (9.5%) and state levels, establishing Spearwood as an area of notable regional momentum.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth engine, generating around 60.1% of recent population increases, supplemented by positive gains across natural growth and interstate migration. Projections for each SA2 area used by AreaSearch are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. Where SA2 figures are missing, as well as for all post-2032 modeling, age-cohort growth rates are drawn from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023, based on 2022 data. Current demographic trajectories indicate that Spearwood is set to deliver population growth above the national median for statistical areas. Looking toward 2041, the community is anticipated to add 2,222 persons relative to the latest annual ERP population numbers, which translates to an overall rise of 16.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
474 new dwellings have been approved in Spearwood over the past five years, an average of 94 a year. That places the area in the 92nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 95 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 73% 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 activity in Spearwood has generated approximately 94 new home approvals annually, reaching a combined total of 474 homes approved across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because the area welcomed an average of 3.2 people per year for every home constructed during the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local housing demand heavily outweighs additions to stock, placing upward pressure on property values and intensifying buyer competition. Newly built dwellings carry an average construction cost of $363,000, aligning with regional averages. In addition, commercial activity has been subdued, with $3.5 million in commercial approvals recorded during this financial year.
On a per-person basis, dwelling construction in Spearwood tracks closely with Greater Perth, reinforcing broader market stability across the metropolitan area. The composition of recent residential building consists of 73.0% detached houses alongside 27.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the suburb's established low-density feel while prioritizing spacious family residences. A ratio of around 110 people per approval underscores Spearwood's ongoing residential expansion. Moving toward 2041, Spearwood is projected to expand by 2,098 residents from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If prevailing construction trajectories persist, forthcoming residential completions appear positioned to satisfy this demand, fostering favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling local population expansion beyond current forecasts.

6,730 residents of Spearwood are employed, from a labour force of 7,119. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 64.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 10,855, about 83% 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
Spearwood features a skilled resident workforce with strong concentrations across essential community services, an unemployment rate of 5.5%, and solid employment stability throughout the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 6,730. The local jobless rate sits 1.3% higher than the 4.2% figure observed across Greater Perth, while labor force participation is lower at 64.9% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%. In addition, 6.3% of workers indicated working from home at the Census, a figure that may reflect prevailing Covid-19 lockdown impacts. Health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade represent the leading employment sectors among residents.
The suburb displays a noticeable concentration in manufacturing, where local employment share is 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a modest 5.4% of the local workforce relative to 8.2% regionally. Due to its largely residential profile, Spearwood generates relatively few local jobs, as evidenced by comparing the Census working population against resident totals. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS figures indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.9% and total employment fell by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage points decrease in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth achieved a 2.0% lift in employment and a 2.5% expansion in its labor force, alongside a 0.4 percentage points increase in unemployment. Future local employment trajectories can be evaluated using national industry forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Across the nation, employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-level growth rates vary substantially. Weighting these projections against Spearwood's specific industry distribution indicates that resident employment could rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this represents an illustrative weighting calculation and excludes localized population estimates).

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 — 250 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,268 at the 2021 Census → 13,056 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.
