Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Bayswater North has an estimated population of around 9,290, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates with new addresses validated since the Census. When compared to the 2021 Census tally of 9,014 people, this represents an addition of 276 people (3.1%). This updated total builds upon an Estimated Resident Population (ERP) of 9,227 from the ABS June 2025 release, alongside 226 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Consequently, the suburb of Bayswater North registers a population density of 1,414 persons per square kilometer, sitting above the national benchmark across assessed locations.
The local 3.1% post-census expansion trails the broader SA4 region (3.9%) by 0.8 percentage points, highlighting sound growth dynamics. Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating approximately 67.0% of recent population gains. Population projections for the suburb of Bayswater North utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 models anchored to a 2022 baseline, supplemented where needed by 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA figures adjusted via weighted aggregation down to SA2 boundaries. These aggregated age-bracket growth trajectories are extended across 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, long-term demographic expansion in the suburb of Bayswater North is projected to sit just underneath the national median, gaining 539 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 series for an overall 16-year increase of 5.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
125 new dwellings have been approved in Bayswater North over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That is 3.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 38% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, running ahead of 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
Dwelling approval data from the ABS, compiled by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries, indicates that Bayswater North averaged approximately 25 residential approvals each year, delivering roughly 125 homes over the last 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 46 approvals have been logged. In the context of recent demographic contraction, construction levels have remained relatively sound for prospective purchasers, with typical expected construction costs averaging $377,000—under regional benchmarks—supporting accessible entry pricing. Concurrently, commercial building approvals reached $11.5 million this financial year, underscoring ongoing non-residential capital injection. On a per-person basis, residential building approvals in Bayswater North track at around three-quarters the level observed across Greater Melbourne, placing in the 45th percentile across Australia.
This restrained supply supports demand for established stock, while tracking below the national average to highlight an established urban footprint with possible planning constraints. Recent approvals comprise 38.0% standalone houses and 62.0% medium to high-density dwellings. This tilt toward compact built forms provides accessible buying options for downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers, marking a clear pivot from the existing local stock (80.0% houses) amid tightening land supply and evolving household preferences. The area's mature market status is further reflected in a ratio of around 329 people per dwelling approval. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release, Bayswater North is projected to add 476 residents by 2041. Existing construction volumes appear well positioned to satisfy this projected demand, maintaining favorable supply dynamics for purchasers while providing capacity to accommodate growth above baseline forecasts.

4,997 residents of Bayswater North are employed, from a labour force of 5,303. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 69.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,916, about 118% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch show that Bayswater North maintains an active workforce, highlighted by an unemployment rate of 5.8%, a prominent construction footprint, and estimated yearly employment growth of 0.8%. By March 2026, employed residents reached 4,997. The local jobless rate sits 1.0% above the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, while labour force participation aligns closely with the metropolitan average of 70.1%. At the Census, 25.1% of workers indicated working remotely, although pandemic-related conditions during that period should be noted. Health care & social assistance, construction, and manufacturing represent the largest employment sectors for local residents.
Manufacturing shows particular prominence, with workforce representation standing at 1.5 times the regional norm. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 7.1% of the local workforce, trailing Greater Melbourne's 10.1%. Local economic capacity is underscored by a Census ratio of 0.9 workers per resident. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM series shows that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.8% alongside a 1.8% expansion in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.9 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Melbourne saw employment increase by 2.1% and the labour force by 2.3%, with unemployment edging up 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 projections outlines national employment gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with sectoral outcomes varying widely. Applying these national industry trends to Bayswater North's employment structure suggests potential job growth of 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighted calculation that excludes local population adjustments).

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 — 226 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,014 at the 2021 Census → 9,290 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 (SAL20174). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
