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
Bonbeach has an estimated 7,097 residents, up from 6,855 at the 2021 Census — a change of 242 people, or 3.5%. That puts 2,535 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch, drawing on ABS population revisions for the surrounding region alongside post-Census address validations, place the suburb of Bonbeach at an estimated 7,097 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 242 people (3.5%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 6,855 people. Such growth stems from an estimated resident population of 7,078 identified via the ABS ERP figures from June 2025, combined with 79 validated new addresses established post-Census. Consequently, the suburb of Bonbeach registers a population density of 2,534 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile of nationally evaluated localities.
Throughout the preceding ten years, the suburb of Bonbeach maintained steady demographic progress with a 0.9% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the wider SA3 area. Overall population growth was predominantly supported by net overseas arrivals, accounting for roughly 86.0% of recent population gains. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset for individual SA2 units using 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, figures draw upon the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, applying a weighted aggregation model from LGA to SA2 divisions. These aggregations also supply age-cohort growth trajectories across all territories between 2032 and 2041. Over the coming years, population expansion for the suburb of Bonbeach is slated to exceed the national statistical area median, adding an estimated 1,135 persons through to 2041 according to aggregated SA2 modeling, which translates to total growth of 15.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
107 new dwellings have been approved in Bonbeach over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 11, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals across statistical geographies indicates that residential building approvals in Bonbeach run at an annual rate of roughly 21 dwellings, totaling an estimated 107 homes approved across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 11 approved during FY-25 to date. Over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), population inflows have averaged 2 people per year for every newly built dwelling, indicating sustained underlying buyer interest. Newly constructed homes carry an average building value of $733,000, underscoring developer focus on the higher-end residential market.
Concurrently, non-residential building approvals reached $4.8 million in the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential character of the local urban environment. Relative to Greater Melbourne on a per-capita basis, residential construction in Bonbeach is notably subdued, tracking 56.0% below regional average per person. Such limited pipeline supply tends to support pricing and absorption for established housing stock. This volume also trails the national benchmark, reflecting a mature urban footprint and potential local planning limitations. Among newly approved dwellings, detached houses represent 43.0% while attached formats account for 57.0%. This emphasis on higher-density housing creates accessible price points suited to first-time purchasers, downsizers, and investors. A ratio of around 455 people per approval underscores the mature status of the local property sector. Demographic outlooks indicate Bonbeach is poised to welcome 1,116 additional residents by 2041, based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If current building approval rates continue without expanding, residential construction could trail population additions, potentially heightening competition for housing and applying upward pressure on home values.

3,788 residents of Bonbeach are employed, from a labour force of 4,045. Unemployment sits at 6.4%, with participation at 68.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,686, about 80% 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
Bonbeach possesses a skilled and qualified workforce with notable participation across essential public services, an unemployment rate of 6.4%, and consistent labour conditions over the preceding year according to aggregated statistical figures. Across the local job market, 3,788 residents are currently employed as of March 2026, while the local unemployment rate sits 1.6% above Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, and overall workforce participation aligns closely with the Greater Melbourne figure of 70.1%. Census records show 32.7% of working locals conducted their duties remotely, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary industry sectors employing local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The local workforce displays notable concentration in construction, where employment representation is 1.4 times the regional level. Conversely, the accommodation & food sector accounts for only 3.9% of resident employment, falling short of Greater Melbourne's 6.4%. Comparisons between the working population and resident counts indicate that this largely residential community provides relatively limited workplace opportunities within its own boundaries. Review of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from wider statistical districts shows that over the past 12-month period, local employment expanded by 0.2% while the total labour pool contracted by 0.9%, reducing the jobless rate by 1.0 percentage points. Across Greater Melbourne over the same timeframe, employment climbed by 2.1%, the workforce rose by 2.3%, and unemployment edged up by 0.2 percentage points. National labour market projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context regarding future employment trends across Bonbeach over five and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary by industry. Aligning these industry trends with local workforce distributions indicates potential employment gains of 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (noting this is a weighted baseline extrapolation that excludes localized demographic 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 — 79 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,855 at the 2021 Census → 7,097 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 (SAL20278). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
