    What Karramindie is known for:

    Suburb profile

    Karramindie is a quieter smaller community in Coolgardie Council, where peace, space and a country-town pace still dominate. It sits a long way from Perth and other major hubs, so daily life runs on a self-contained, local timetable. Residents are mostly families and working professionals, with family life visible on every street.

    With limited local amenities, residents regularly travel to a neighbouring town for shops, appointments and a wider choice. Open space is thinner than in many comparable suburbs, so residents often travel a little further for a longer park day. A car helps for most daily errands, with fewer amenities clustered within an easy walk.

    Property prices are middling for the area: fair relative to what is nearby. Crime trends have improved of late compared with the previous period.

    ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

    Methodology

    Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

    The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~50), extrapolated at -1.0% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
