Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

Overseas migration accounts for 65.1% of that increase. That puts 2,111 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 Warnbro stands at approximately 11,904 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 1,163 residents (10.8%) following the 2021 Census, when 10,741 people were enumerated. This updated figure draws upon ABS estimated resident population statistics of 11,897 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 1 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. Consequently, the local population density reaches 2,110 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical benchmark observed nationwide by AreaSearch. Outperforming the wider country's 9.5% pace, Warnbro's 10.8% post-2021 Census expansion establishes it among the regional leaders in demographic expansion.

International arrivals served as the principal driver of this expansion, accounting for roughly 65.1% of recent net gains. Projections published jointly in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as their benchmark year, form the basis of AreaSearch's SA2 modelling. Where local coverage is absent or when evaluating projections beyond 2032 across all regions, AreaSearch incorporates age-cohort growth rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Demographic trajectories indicate the locality is poised for higher than national median growth, with forecasts indicating an expansion of 1,661 persons through to 2041 relative to prevailing annual ERP statistics, translating to an overall rise of 13.9% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Warnbro

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

64 new dwellings have been approved in Warnbro over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 1.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential building approvals in Warnbro have run at roughly 12 dwellings per year, accumulating to 64 homes across the past 5 financial years. With the area absorbing an average of 13.9 new residents annually for every dwelling completed throughout the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), demand substantially outstrips additions to the housing stock, a dynamic that commonly fuels upward price momentum and heightened buyer competition. Concurrently, average construction costs for new residences sit at $294,000—trailing broader metropolitan benchmarks—highlighting a comparatively budget-friendly price point for property buyers. In addition, commercial building consents recorded this financial year total $5.6 million, underscoring a modest footprint for commercial construction.

Relative to Greater Perth, construction intensity in Warnbro is substantially subdued, sitting 88.0% below regional average per person. Although residential building activity has picked up in recent times, this constrained pipeline generally reinforces pricing and demand across the established residential market. Such restrained volume is likewise below average nationally, pointing toward both the established character of the suburb and likely urban planning limitations. In addition, recent dwelling approvals have been exclusively dedicated to standalone houses, preserving the neighbourhood's low-density profile and providing traditional family layouts for purchasers prioritizing living space. A ratio of approximately 746 people per dwelling approval further underlines the highly mature state of the local property sector. Projections indicate that Warnbro is set to add 1,654 residents leading up to 2041 (derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release). Should building completions persist at current paces, dwelling availability could struggle to accommodate this growing populace, which may intensify competition across the market and exert upward pressure on home values.

Dwelling approval activity in the the Warnbro SA2 area has seen 32 residential approvals over the past two financial years, based on AreaSearch's SA2 aggregation method. The Warnbro SA2's current population of 11,904 has been supported by 12 approvals on average over recent years.

Is the Warnbro SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 1,654 people by 2041, around 827 new dwellings will be necessary. Recent approval levels may be insufficient to meet these forecasts, considering the census average of 2.0 persons per dwelling.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Warnbro

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

5,529 residents of Warnbro are employed, from a labour force of 6,167. Unemployment sits at 10.3%, with participation at 63.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,974, about 84% 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 Warnbro features an even distribution across white-collar and blue-collar occupations, marked by a solid base in industrial and manufacturing activities and an unemployment rate of 10.3%. By March 2026, employed residents reached 5,529, though the local jobless rate sits 6.2% above Greater Perth's benchmark of 4.2%, highlighting ongoing capacity for economic absorption. Furthermore, overall labour force participation remains lower than the capital benchmark, registering at 63.9% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census records indicate that merely 6.1% of workers carried out their duties from home, though this figure should be considered in light of Covid-19 restrictions in place at the time.

Resident workers are primarily concentrated across health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The community demonstrates a distinct structural orientation toward manufacturing, where its workforce proportion is 1.5 times the regional level. Conversely, professional & technical occupations represent a comparatively minor portion of the workforce at 4.1% employment, compared against 8.2% regionally. As reflected by the variance between the local Census working population and resident counts, this predominantly suburban locality provides relatively few jobs within its own boundaries. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS figures indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.9% alongside a 1.3% decline in total employment, resulting in a 0.4 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. During that same timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0% and total workforce expand by 2.5%, alongside a 0.4 percentage point uptick. Additional guidance regarding forward labour demand in Warnbro is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied against the local sector breakdown to assess future trajectory. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though outcomes vary considerably across industries. Applying these sectoral growth estimates to the local occupational breakdown indicates Warnbro's employment could increase by 5.7% over five years and 12.4% over ten years (note that this represents a straightforward weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and omits specific local population growth 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 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,741 at the 2021 Census → 11,904 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 (507051193). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Warnbro SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Warnbro page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Warnbro data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
