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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch place the resident count of Wanneroo - Sinagra at roughly 16,650 as of Aug 2026. In comparison with the 2021 Census total of 14,678 people, the community has expanded by 1,972 people (13.4%). This trajectory is calculated from an ABS estimated resident population of 16,627 as of June 2025 alongside 1,274 validated new addresses added following the Census. The local population density stands at 1,073 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with standard benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch study locations. Outpacing the 9.5% nationwide benchmark, the 13.4% expansion recorded since the 2021 census positions Wanneroo - Sinagra among the regional leaders in population gains.
International arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 56.9% of net population additions over recent timeframes, supplemented by positive inflows from natural increase and interstate movements. Population projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling released in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures. For locations not covered by those datasets, as well as forward estimates beyond 2032 across all territories, age-bracket growth trajectories from the ABS 2023 Greater Capital Region release (derived from 2022 data) are applied. Long-range demographic forecasts suggest the district will exceed national median expansion benchmarks, adding 2,193 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP baselines, which represents an overall gain of 13.0% across the 16 years.

8,709 residents of Wanneroo - Sinagra are employed, from a labour force of 9,196. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 68.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% 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 14,430, about 87% 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 market in Wanneroo - Sinagra is characterized by a proficient workforce, with building trades demonstrating prominent representation, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.3% and 3.7% in estimated employment growth over the past year. In March 2026, 8,709 residents were employed, while the jobless rate was 1.1% above Greater Perth's 4.2% figure, and overall labour participation tracked closely to the metropolitan level of 69.9%. Findings from the Census showed that merely 7.7% of working locals operated from home, a metric that may be influenced by Covid-19 restrictions in place at that time.
Primary areas of employment for residents include health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction shows exceptionally high concentration locally, capturing an employment share 1.5 times the wider metropolitan proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical sector accounts for only 5.4% of resident workers, trailing the 8.2% recorded for Greater Perth. Comparisons between resident workers and local employment figures during the Census suggest that on-site employment within the boundary remains relatively limited. Evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, local headcount grew by 3.7% while the labour pool expanded by 3.8%, lifting the unemployment level by 0.1 percentage points. Over the equivalent timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0% and its labour force increase by 2.5%, yielding a 0.4 percentage points increase in joblessness. Long-range expectations can be evaluated through national employment projections issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. When these five-year and ten-year national trajectories—which project overall Australian employment to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years across varying industry segments—are applied to Wanneroo - Sinagra's current sectoral composition, anticipated local workforce expansion is estimated at 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (calculated as a weighted illustrative extrapolation 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 — 1,274 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,678 at the 2021 Census → 16,650 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 (505031306). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
