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
Thornlie has an estimated 25,990 residents, up from 23,665 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,325 people, or 9.8%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 79.1% of that increase. That puts 2,243 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, Thornlie accommodates approximately 25,990 inhabitants as of Aug 2026. This figure represents an expansion of 2,325 people (9.8%) compared to the 23,665 residents tallied in the 2021 Census. Such demographic movement is deduced from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 25,963 noted in June 2025 alongside 69 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 2,242 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical ratio across nationally analyzed communities. Outperforming the wider Australian expansion rate of 9.5%, Thornlie's 9.8% uptick since the 2021 census establishes the suburb as an area growth benchmark, primarily propelled by inbound overseas migration which made up around 79.1% of recent net demographic additions.
Demographic modeling relies upon ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level figures published in 2024 using 2022 baseline records. For regions outside this coverage and when projecting beyond 2032, cohort-based expansion rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (utilizing 2022 figures) are incorporated. Looking forward, local demographic gains are forecast to track slightly under the national statistical area median, adding 1,284 persons by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP baselines, which amounts to a cumulative rise of 4.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
144 new dwellings have been approved in Thornlie over the past five years, an average of 28 a year. That places the area in the 52nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% 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 authorisations in Thornlie have tracked at roughly 28 dwellings annually, amounting to 144 homes across the previous 5 financial years. With an inflow rate of 10.8 new residents per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local housing requirements heavily outpace construction, exerting upward pressure on property values and intensifying buyer competition. Nevertheless, an average construction value of $269,000 provides relatively affordable entry points below regional averages, while commercial activity remains steady with $24.9 million recorded in commercial approvals during the current financial year.
Building activity across Thornlie remains subdued compared with Greater Perth, falling 73.0% below the regional per capita benchmark. This constrained supply pipeline typically bolsters values and interest in existing properties. Construction volumes also trail nationwide figures, reflecting an established market profile and potential physical capacity limits. Recent building activity is composed of 93.0% detached dwellings and 7.0% attached dwellings, maintaining the suburb's traditional character oriented toward buyers seeking detached homes with ample space. An indicator of market maturity is further demonstrated by a ratio of roughly 752 people per dwelling approval. Projections indicate that Thornlie will gain 1,257 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly update from AreaSearch. If prevailing building volumes continue, the supply of new housing may fall short of demographic expansion, likely driving stronger buyer competition and supporting higher property prices.

13,260 residents of Thornlie are employed, from a labour force of 14,095. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 66.3%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 20,663, 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
Thornlie features a skilled workforce with strong participation across industrial and manufacturing sectors, accompanied by a 5.9% unemployment rate and 1.3% annual job growth. In March 2026, employed residents reached 13,260, while the local unemployment rate sat 1.7% higher than the 4.2% registered across Greater Perth. Labour force participation was somewhat subdued at 66.3% compared to the regional figure of 69.9%. Census data indicated that only 5.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though pandemic containment measures should be kept in mind. Locally resident workers are heavily engaged in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
A clear economic specialty exists in transport, postal & warehousing, where the local concentration is 1.6 times the broader metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a modest 5.1% of employment compared to 8.2% across the wider region. Comparing local job numbers against the resident workforce suggests that the suburb is predominantly residential with fewer internal workplace opportunities. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that across the twelve months leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 1.3% while the labour pool grew by 2.0%, elevating the unemployment rate by 0.6 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0% and the labour force expand by 2.5%, with unemployment increasing by 0.4 percentage points. Forward-looking projections issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 outline broader workforce trajectories. Across Australia, employment is anticipated to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral rates vary widely. Weighting these projections against Thornlie's industry footprint points to local employment expansions of 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, noting that this simple illustrative weighting does not adjust for local population 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 — 69 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (23,665 at the 2021 Census → 25,990 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 (506041137). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
