Chart Color Schemes
This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Alexandra (Vic.) has an estimated 2,693 residents, down from 2,801 at the 2021 Census — a change of 108 people, or 3.9%. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. Density is about 34 people per square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside newly confirmed post-Census addresses, the suburb of Alexandra (Vic.) has an estimated population of 2,693 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2,801 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this marks a reduction of 108 people (3.9%). The updated figure of 2,693 is based on ABS ERP figures from June 2025 coupled with 18 validated new addresses recorded after the Census. This population level yields a spacious living environment with a density of 33 persons per square kilometer. Interstate migration has served as the primary growth driver, generating roughly 54.0% of recent population gains.
SA2-level projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) form the foundation of AreaSearch's modeling for the suburb of Alexandra (Vic.), supplemented where necessary by 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections converted via weighted growth aggregation. For the years 2032 to 2041, age-group growth rates from these aggregations are applied uniformly. Looking ahead, long-term projections place the locality in the upper quartile of regional Australian growth, anticipating an addition of 649 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 data, representing an overall expansion of 24.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
68 new dwellings have been approved in Alexandra (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Statistical building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch show that Alexandra averages approximately 13 residential approvals per year, totaling an estimated 68 homes across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 4 recorded so far in FY-25. Amid recent population contraction, this building pace has satisfied demand and maintained buyer options, while an average approved construction value of $627,000 indicates developer concentration in the higher-tier residential market. Commercial approvals stand at $428,000 for the current financial year, highlighting the town's primarily residential focus. Per-capita residential construction in Alexandra sits 90.0% below the regional Victorian benchmark, though building volume has shown some recent momentum.
This constrained supply pipeline—also below national norms—reflects an established urban footprint and potential planning constraints, which tends to underpin valuations for existing housing. All recent approvals have consisted exclusively of standalone houses, reinforcing the low-density landscape and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The presence of roughly 677 residents per approved dwelling underlines this subdued building environment. With demographic models anticipating a gain of 649 residents through to 2041 from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, maintaining current building rates could lead to a shortfall in residential construction. Such a divergence would likely intensify competition among prospective purchasers and apply upward pressure on local real estate prices.

1,131 residents of Alexandra (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 1,193. Unemployment sits at 5.2%, with participation at 51.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,221, about 82% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Alexandra maintains a balanced workforce across blue- and white-collar roles with substantial representation in essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.2% according to AreaSearch aggregated data. As of March 2026, employed residents count 1,131, while joblessness sits 1.5% higher than the Regional Vic. benchmark of 3.7%. Participation in the labour force reaches 51.5%, notably below the 61.1% seen across Regional Vic., and 13.9% of workers operated from home at the Census period, subject to potential COVID-19 influences. Healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and construction represent the primary sectors employing local residents.
Retail trade displays an especially high concentration, with local participation standing at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for 5.7% of the local workforce, trailing the 7.7% recorded regionally. Comparisons between working and resident populations from the Census suggest a comparatively constrained volume of jobs located within the immediate area. In the year to March 2026, AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM metrics indicates the local labour pool contracted by 3.5% and employment declined by 4.2%, elevating the unemployment rate by 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Vic. saw employment slip 0.1%, the labour force decrease 0.3%, and unemployment fall 0.2 percentage points. Applying Jobs and Skills Australia's national projections from Mar-26—which forecast overall employment expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—to the local industrial profile suggests Alexandra's employment could rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, based on simple industry weighting rather than local demographic modeling.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 18 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,801 at the 2021 Census → 2,693 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL20022). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
