Suburb profile
Sir Samuel is a quieter smaller community in Leonora Council, where peace, space and a country-town pace still dominate. Far from Perth, it rewards people who want real remove from the city rather than a long-commute suburb. The community skews younger.
Local shops are sparse, so a fuller set of amenities usually means travelling to a neighbouring town or regional hub. Local green pockets are modest, with bigger outdoor outings usually found in neighbouring areas. 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. Reported crime has been falling recently.

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 -0.7% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.
