Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. 154 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,517 residents on each 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
Alfredton had an estimated population of approximately 12,153 in May 2026, according to analysis of ABS population revisions for the broader district and address validations by AreaSearch since the Census. This represents a growth of 331 residents (2.8%) from the 2021 Census, when the population was recorded at 11,822. This shift is derived from a resident population of 12,134, determined by AreaSearch through analysing the ABS Estimated Resident Population data from June 2025 alongside 154 validated new addresses added after the Census. Such population numbers produce a density of 1,517 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio among nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
During the last ten years, Alfredton recorded consistent growth with a compound annual rate of 3.2%, which is quicker than the SA3. Interstate migration was the primary driver of population growth, accounting for roughly 74.0% of overall gains, with all other contributors like natural increases and overseas migration also registering positive results. For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch utilizes projections from Geoscience Australia and the ABS published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 projections are unavailable, VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2023 are applied, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age cohort growth rates from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, the area is anticipated to see exceptional expansion, ranking in the highest 10 percent of regional areas in Australia, with projections showing an increase of 5,824 persons by 2041, representing a total rise of 47.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
865 new dwellings have been approved in Alfredton over the past five years, an average of 173 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 14 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 214 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 99% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 72, 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
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals assigned from statistical data, Alfredton has averaged roughly 173 approvals for dwellings annually, resulting in about 865 new homes during the last 5 financial years. In FY-26 so far, 66 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.2 additional residents arriving per completed dwelling annually between FY-21 and FY-25, supply and demand appear closely aligned, supporting a steady market, though this ratio has dropped to 0.3 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, suggesting a more balanced supply environment.
Newly built residences average a value of $497,000, which suggests developers are focusing on the higher-end market segment. Additionally, $9.2 million in commercial development approvals have been registered during this financial year, highlighting the mostly residential character of the area. Construction activity in Alfredton is somewhat higher compared to the Rest of Vic. (21.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), which helps maintain choice for buyers while sustaining existing home values, though development momentum has slowed recently. This is well above the national average, indicating strong interest from developers. Approved residential work consists of 99.0% detached houses and 1.0% apartments or townhouses, which maintains a suburban atmosphere and caters to buyers seeking spacious detached housing. The area has approximately 165 people for every dwelling approval, indicating a low-density profile. Looking forward, the population of Alfredton is projected to grow by 5,803 residents by 2041 (compared to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch). Development is keeping a reasonable pace with this projected growth, though prospective buyers might experience more competition as the population grows.

5,962 residents of Alfredton are employed, from a labour force of 6,171. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 65.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,570, about 79% 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
Alfredton possesses a highly educated labor force, strong representation in essential services, and an unemployment rate of just 3.4%, based on statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 5,962 residents were employed, while the rate of unemployment was 0.3% lower than the 3.7% recorded in Regional Vic. Participation in the workforce is standard, sitting at 65.3% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic. Census data indicated that a moderate 16.7% of employees worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training.
The workforce is highly specialized in health care & social assistance, representing a share 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.4% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 7.5% average for Regional Vic. The mostly residential suburb offers few local jobs relative to its resident workforce, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch evaluations combining SALM and ABS information drawn from larger statistical regions, the workforce shrank by 5.3% and job participation dropped by 6.1% during the year to March 2026, which pushed unemployment up by 0.8 percentage points. In comparison, Regional Vic. saw employment contract by 0.1%, the labour force decline by 0.3%, and unemployment decrease by 0.2 percentage points. Insights into future job demand for Alfredton may be gained from Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections released in May-25. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to estimate potential growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, although expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Alfredton's current employment composition, local job numbers are expected to rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, though this figure represents a basic weighted extrapolation intended only for illustrative use and does not incorporate local population projections.

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 — 154 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,822 at the 2021 Census → 12,153 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 May 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 (SAL20023). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
