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 7,098 residents, up from 6,855 at the 2021 Census — a change of 243 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
According to evaluations of ABS demographics for the broader region alongside address registries confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Bonbeach has an estimated population of 7,098 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 243 people (3.5%) from the 6,855 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure is derived from a resident headcount of 7,080 calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 79 new validated addresses found since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,535 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile among nationwide spots assessed by AreaSearch.
In the last ten years, the suburb of Bonbeach has shown steady growth with a compound annual rate of 0.9%, which is faster than the surrounding SA3. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for approximately 86.0% of the recent population increase. AreaSearch implements demographic projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base point. For SA2 territories lacking this information, AreaSearch relies on the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusting them via weighted aggregation of demographic expansion from LGA down to SA2 scales. Cohort-specific growth rates from these aggregations are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future expectations point to an above-median population growth rate compared to other Australian statistical areas, with a projected expansion of 1,162 persons by 2041 based on these combined SA2 forecasts, representing a rise of 16.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
133 new dwellings have been approved in Bonbeach over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 3.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
Assessments by AreaSearch of ABS building permit statistics, mapped from regional datasets, show that the suburb of Bonbeach averages roughly 26 new residential approvals annually, amounting to about 133 homes over the last 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 8 approvals have been registered. With an average of 1.1 new residents per built dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, demand matches supply closely to maintain balanced market parameters, though this ratio has climbed to 5.5 people per home over the last 2 financial years, pointing to higher demand and a potential supply squeeze.
Newly approved residences carry an average construction value of $671,000, showing that developers are targeting the high-end market with premium housing. Additionally, commercial building approvals reached $4.8 million this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the neighborhood. Compared to the broader Greater Melbourne region, building activity per capita in the suburb of Bonbeach is only about three-quarters as high, placing it in the 29th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains demand for existing properties. Recent construction activity is composed of 45.0% standalone houses and 55.0% townhouses or multi-unit dwellings. This orientation toward denser housing types provides more accessible entry points for buyers and draws interest from downsizers, investors, and first-time home buyers. The area has approximately 588 people per dwelling approval, showing a mature property market. Future demographic projections suggest the suburb of Bonbeach will gain 1,144 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of new housing may fall short of population gains, which could heighten buyer competition and support faster capital growth.

3,794 residents of Bonbeach are employed, from a labour force of 4,052. Unemployment sits at 6.4%, with participation at 67.9%. 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 5,683, 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
The suburb of Bonbeach has a highly educated workforce with strong representation in key service industries, an unemployment rate of 6.4%, and consistent employment numbers over the past year based on compiled statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 3,794 employed residents, with the unemployment rate standing 1.6% above the 4.8% average for Greater Melbourne, while the participation rate is slightly below the norm at 67.9% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%. Census records show that a significant 32.7% of working residents performed their jobs from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction periods.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The area exhibits a high concentration in construction jobs, representing 1.4 times the regional proportion. On the other hand, accommodation & food service jobs are less common, making up 3.9% of local employment compared to the regional average of 6.4%. This heavily residential neighborhood seems to offer few jobs within its borders, as shown by the difference between the number of local jobs and the size of the working resident population. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled across broader geographic sectors, employment grew by 0.2% and the labor force shrank by 0.8% during the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a decline in unemployment of 0.9 percentage points. This differs from Greater Melbourne, where employment grew by 2.1%, the active labor force expanded by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate went up by 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional perspectives on upcoming employment needs in the suburb of Bonbeach. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. While overall national employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change varies widely by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local occupational structure indicates that employment in the suburb of Bonbeach would grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, noting that this uses a basic weighting technique for illustration and does not incorporate local demographic forecasts.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,855 at the 2021 Census → 7,098 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 (SAL20278). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
