Most households here own (around 78% are owners or paying down a mortgage), and only 17% rent. The suburb is overwhelmingly separate houses (92%), with very little high-density stock. Population is around 4,234, median age 48, and the most common occupation category is Technicians and Trades Workers. 18% of residents were born overseas. At 100km from Perth, Waroona typically sits outside the inner-ring rent pressure zone — but state rent indices since 2021 have moved a lot, so the live figure above is a better current guide than the Census baseline.
