Suburb profile

Kelmscott is an outer metropolitan suburb of Perth, in Armadale Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. It is close to the Canning River.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Childcare access is an exceptional strength, placing it among the highest-ranked outer metropolitan suburbs. Green cover is an exceptional strength. Crime in the wider Armadale Police District remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 26% year on year. The clearer weaknesses are weaker population growth and lower socio-economic advantage, with population growth 70% below the peer median.

Kelmscott is a better fit for people who value childcare and daily services more than population growth.

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 (~11,600), extrapolated at +0.5% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?

IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.

IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.

A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
