What Pardoo is known for: Green suburb

Suburb profile

Pardoo is a quieter smaller community in East Pilbara Council, where peace, space and a country-town pace still dominate. Genuine distance from the metro area around Perth is part of the character: quiet streets, big skies and a town that looks after itself. Residents are mostly families and working professionals.

Local shops are sparse, so a fuller set of amenities usually means travelling to a neighbouring town or regional hub. Outdoor life is easy here, with generous parks and room for kids, dogs and weekend strolls. A car helps for most daily errands, with fewer amenities clustered within an easy walk.

Homes cost more here than in most comparable suburbs.

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 -0.5% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
