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
Waroona has an estimated 4,665 residents, up from 4,234 at the 2021 Census — a change of 431 people, or 10.2%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 70.6% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 from AreaSearch, the resident count in Waroona stands at approximately 4,665 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 431 residents (10.2%) compared to the 4,234 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. Such movement is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,665 as of June 2025 alongside 47 validated new addresses identified following the Census period. Consequently, population density settles at 5.6 persons per square kilometer, highlighting a spacious living environment. Expanding by 10.2% since the 2021 census, Waroona outpaced the nationwide benchmark of 9.5%, positioning it among the swiftest-growing localities across the broader district.
Inward interstate relocation served as the primary growth engine, driving roughly 70.6% of recent population additions, with natural increase and overseas arrivals also delivering positive contributions. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. Where SA2 coverage is unavailable, and for projections extending beyond 2032 across all districts, age-cohort growth rates drawn from the ABS Greater Capital Region release (published in 2023 using 2022 inputs) are incorporated. Looking forward, local demographic expansion is anticipated to surpass the national non-metropolitan median, with Waroona projected to add 524 persons by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP baselines, translating to an overall growth rate of 11.2% over the 16-year horizon.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
155 new dwellings have been approved in Waroona over the past five years, an average of 31 a year. That places the area in the 67th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% 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 approvals in Waroona have averaged approximately 31 units per annum, accumulating to 155 sanctioned homes throughout the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same 5-year window (between FY-22 and FY-26), the region absorbed an average of 2.3 new residents per dwelling completed, reflecting healthy underlying demand that underpins residential values, with construction costs averaging $369,000 per home in alignment with broader regional levels. Concurrently, commercial building permits totaled $2.4 million over the current financial year, pointing to relatively restrained non-residential building activity. Waroona demonstrates an elevated pace of construction relative to Rest of WA, tracking 27.0% above the regional per-capita standard over the 5-year timeframe, which sustains healthy purchaser choice alongside steady market demand.
All recent residential approvals have comprised standalone single-family homes, preserving the locality's spacious, low-density environment tailored toward family households seeking extra room. Recording roughly 134 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical traits of an expanding community. Demographic forecasts indicate that Waroona will gain 524 additional residents leading up to 2041, based on the latest quarterly AreaSearch calculations. At prevailing construction velocities, the forthcoming pipeline of residential completions is well placed to satisfy demographic demand, fostering balanced purchasing opportunities and potentially enabling local growth to outstrip current demographic forecasts.

2,186 residents of Waroona are employed, from a labour force of 2,317. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 59.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.8% 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. 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 Waroona features a diverse mix of blue-collar and white-collar roles, highlighted by notable strength across the building and construction trades, an unemployment standing of 5.7%, and 0.8% annual job expansion. By March 2026, employed locals reached 2,186 persons, while the jobless rate sat 2.1% higher than the 3.5% benchmark seen across Regional WA, and labour participation trailed notably at 59.6% against 65.4% regionally. Census returns revealed that only 8.0% of local workers operated from home, though potential distortions from Covid-19 restrictions should be noted. The primary employment drivers for local residents include mining, construction, and manufacturing.
Notably, the area displays significant industrial concentration in manufacturing, where local employment concentration is 2.5 times the regional average. Conversely, the accommodation & food sector remains comparatively minor, employing just 3.5% of the local workforce versus 7.1% throughout Regional WA. Although local enterprises provide employment opportunities, a substantial portion of the workforce travels beyond the area for work when comparing Census employment counts against the local resident base. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that across the twelve months to March 2026, total employed persons grew by 0.8% alongside a 1.0% expansion in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point uptick in the jobless rate. Over the corresponding timeframe, Regional WA observed a 0.1% contraction in employment, a 0.3% rise in labour force participants, and a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. Nationwide workforce forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment prospects in Waroona. These medium and long-term estimates (spanning five and ten years) have been synthesized with the local occupational landscape to evaluate forward trajectories. Across the country, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Applying these industry growth profiles to Waroona's sector distribution points toward potential local job growth of 4.8% over five years and 11.1% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighted extrapolation for demonstration and excludes localized population models).

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 — 47 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,234 at the 2021 Census → 4,665 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 (501021016). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
