Suburb profile
Rothsay offers a slower smaller community life in Perenjori Council, with open surrounds and a close-knit community feel. Genuine distance from the metro area around Perth is part of the character: quiet streets, big skies and a town that looks after itself. Established families and long-term residents give the suburb a settled feel, with a strong presence of young families throughout.
Local shops are sparse, so a fuller set of amenities usually means travelling to a neighbouring town or regional hub. Open space is thinner than in many comparable suburbs, so residents often travel a little further for a longer park day. Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here than in denser, more walkable pockets.
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 (~200), extrapolated at -0.7% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
