Bonshaw (Vic.) has an estimated 2,582 residents, up from 949 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,633 people, or 172.1%. Growth has averaged 26.3% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. 526 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 85.0% of that increase. That puts 804 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 calculations derived from ABS demographic releases for the surrounding territory, along with quarterly address updates verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Bonshaw (Vic.) has a population of approximately 2,582 residents as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 1,633 people (172.1%) from the 2021 Census, when the head count stood at 949 people. This shift is calculated from a local cohort of 2,578, estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) coupled with 526 validated new addresses verified since the Census.
Such population numbers translate to a density of 804 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical patterns observed across regions evaluated by AreaSearch. The expansion rate of 172.1% since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of Vic. (4.3%) and the broader SA4 territory, positioning the locality as a regional growth leader. Population expansion was driven chiefly by arrivals from other states, which accounted for roughly 85.0% of total gains over recent quarters, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also made positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 zone published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) have been adopted by AreaSearch. For any SA2 regions lacking this dataset, AreaSearch uses the 2023 Regional/LGA projections from the Victorian State Government, applying weighted aggregation of growth metrics from the LGA scale down to the SA2 level. The corresponding age group growth rates are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, the suburb of Bonshaw (Vic.) is set to experience massive expansion, placing it in the top 10 percent of all non-metropolitan districts nationwide, with expectations to add 3,623 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, yielding a cumulative growth rate of 139.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
594 new dwellings have been approved in Bonshaw (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 118 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 46 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 99 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 138, broadly in line with 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 by AreaSearch of ABS building permit figures indicates that Bonshaw has averaged approximately 118 building permits for homes annually, resulting in an estimated 594 total new dwellings over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26127 permits have been registered. An average of 3 new residents per year were added for each completed residence over the past 5 financial years (covering the period from FY-21 to FY-25), indicating healthy demand that bolsters real estate values. Newly constructed properties carry an average estimated value of $392,000, which sits slightly above regional benchmarks and indicates a focus on high-quality builds.
Additionally, commercial building approvals worth $2.9 million have been logged this financial year, suggesting that non-residential building remains a minor focus. When compared to the Rest of Vic. on a per-capita basis, Bonshaw registers 799.0% more residential building permits, offering a wider selection for potential buyers despite a recent moderation in construction volume. The building pace remains substantially above the nationwide benchmark, showing strong interest from property developers. Detached houses comprise 98.0% of the new inventory, while semi-detached and attached units make up 2.0%, maintaining the low-density character of the area and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The ratio of roughly 73 people per residential permit is characteristic of a rapidly expanding growth corridor. Looking forward, the population is projected to rise by 3,597 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. The pace of construction remains reasonably aligned with this projected influx, although home buyers may experience heightened competition as the local population swells.

1,629 residents of Bonshaw (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 1,671. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 79.9%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 2,222, about 86% 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 local workforce shows strong educational credentials, with a solid representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 14.9% over the course of the past year, according to AreaSearch data compiled for the statistical area. In March 2026, the employed resident count reached 1,629, with an unemployment rate that is 1.2% lower than the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%. Labor force participation is exceptionally high at 79.9% compared to the regional benchmark of 61.1%. According to Census records, a modest 14.0% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local citizens are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce shows a distinct specialization in health care & social assistance, representing a share 1.2 times that of the broader region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents a minimal portion of the workforce at 1.0% compared to 7.5% across the region. Because this is a predominantly residential area, local job opportunities appear limited relative to the size of the resident workforce, as reflected in the ratio of local jobs to working residents in the Census. Based on AreaSearch calculations using SALM and ABS statistics compiled from surrounding statistical areas, local employment rose by 14.9% and the total labor force grew by 15.6% during the year ending March 2026, leading to a 0.6 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Vic. saw employment contract by 0.1% and the labor force shrink by 0.3%, while its unemployment rate fell by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local industry mix to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary widely. Aligning these industry trends with the local employment profile indicates that local job counts would increase by 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 526 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (949 at the 2021 Census → 2,582 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 (SAL20284). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
