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.

Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count for Success - Hammond Park stands at approximately 22,028 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 4,574 people (26.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, when the headcount was 17,454 people. This adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 21,561 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 587 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With these numbers, the local population density reaches 2,486 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb in the top quartile of areas assessed nationwide by AreaSearch.
The community's 26.2% expansion since the 2021 census outstripped both state figures and the national average (9.5%), establishing it among the leading growth locations in the broader region. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary catalyst for demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 51.0% of recent population additions, while interstate migration and natural growth also registered positive contributions. AreaSearch is incorporating population projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, using data released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas lacking coverage under this dataset, and to estimate growth beyond 2032 across all areas, AreaSearch applies age cohort growth rates from the ABS latest Greater Capital Region projections, which were released in 2023 and based on 2022 data. Projected demographic shifts suggest above median population growth for the statistical areas examined by AreaSearch, with the area expected to increase by 4,919 persons by 2041 according to the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting a total gain of 20.2% over the 16 years.

Residential influx has seen roughly 6.6 people arriving per annum for every dwelling delivered over the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), indicating that dwelling completions are trailing population demand and potentially intensifying buyer competition and upward pricing trends. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $349,000, aligning with regional benchmarks. Meanwhile, $13.7 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, signaling steady non-residential development.
Per capita residential approvals in Success - Hammond Park run at approximately three-quarters of the Greater Perth benchmark, placing the area in the 72nd percentile across national assessments.

13,095 residents of Success - Hammond Park are employed, from a labour force of 13,427. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 79.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% 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 17,653, about 80% 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
The local labour pool in Success - Hammond Park is highly skilled, featuring strong engagement in industrial and manufacturing trades and a low unemployment rate of 2.5%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 13,095, while the jobless rate sat 1.7% under the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%. Labour force participation is elevated at 79.3%, compared to 69.9% across Greater Perth. In the Census, working from home was recorded by a modest 7.4% of workers, though baseline Covid-19 health directives should be considered. Primary employment sectors for residents encompass health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Local workers show a marked concentration in manufacturing, where employment representation is 1.2 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, education & training accounts for a smaller footprint, employing 8.2% of the local workforce versus 9.2% regionally. Given its primarily residential character, the suburb provides relatively few on-site job opportunities, as reflected in Census comparisons between resident workers and local working populations. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month period, the local labour force contracted by 0.9% and total employment fell by 1.2%, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth recorded an employment expansion of 2.0%, a labour pool increase of 2.5%, and an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. Medium and long-term outlooks can be evaluated using national industry projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Countrywide employment is expected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary by industry. Applying these sectoral forecasts across the employment profile of Success - Hammond Park indicates projected workforce expansion of 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighted baseline model for illustration rather than a localized population forecast).

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 — 587 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,454 at the 2021 Census → 22,028 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 (507011161). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
