Overview

Western Australia is home to about 2.97 million people as of June 2024, with more than nine‑tenths of residents clustered in the south‑west corner and roughly 80 % living in the capital, Perth. The remaining population is dispersed across a few regional centres such as Bunbury, Geraldton and Kalgoorlie‑Boulder, leaving the vast interior sparsely inhabited.

The state’s economy is anchored by an extensive mining sector,world‑leading iron‑ore production, significant gold output, and offshore petroleum and natural‑gas activities,while primary industries such as wheat, livestock and forestry also contribute strongly. These resource‑driven industries underpin a gross state product per person that ranks among the highest in Australia, supporting ongoing growth and investment across Western Australia.
