Sales Detail
Burwood East has an estimated 12,465 residents, up from 10,675 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,790 people, or 16.8%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 482 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 74.0% of that increase. That puts 2,926 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
Based on demographic assessments of ABS statistics for the surrounding region, alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Burwood East has a population estimated to stand at approximately 12,465 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,790 people (16.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 10,675 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 12,460, determined by AreaSearch following analysis of the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and an additional 482 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population scale translates to a density ratio of 2,926 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Burwood East in the highest quartile among nationwide locations examined by AreaSearch. The 16.8% growth of the suburb of Burwood East since the 2021 census was higher than the SA4 region (8.9%) and the state, establishing it as a local growth leader. Overseas migration was the primary driver, accounting for roughly 74.0% of the overall population gains in recent times, though other factors, including interstate migration and natural growth, also remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 location, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch calculates projections based on the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2023, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age brackets from these aggregations are projected forward for years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, a substantial rise in population placing the area within the top national quartile is anticipated, with the suburb of Burwood East projected to add 3,027 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, showing a total gain of 24.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
639 new dwellings have been approved in Burwood East over the past five years, an average of 127 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 121 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 26% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 63, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of building approvals from the ABS, allocated from regional statistical data, Burwood East averages approximately 127 dwellings receiving development approval annually. A total of 639 homes were approved over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 58 approved so far during FY-26. An average of 2.2 people per year moved to the area for every new home constructed over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating strong demand that supports property values. The average expected construction value of new homes is $729,000, indicating that developers are targeting the high-end market with premium projects.
Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $18.5 million this financial year, indicating steady non-residential development. Compared to Greater Melbourne, Burwood East shows slightly elevated building activity (36.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), offering choice to buyers while helping sustain current property values, even though construction has slowed down in recent times. The volume remains well above the national average, showing high developer interest in the suburb. Recent approvals consist of 26.0% detached dwellings and 74.0% townhouses or apartments. This preference for medium and high-density formats provides accessible entry points and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the existing housing stock (currently 74.0% houses), indicating a decline in available land and matching changing lifestyle choices and affordability constraints. With a ratio of about 318 people per approval, Burwood East exhibits a changing market structure. Looking forward, the population is projected to grow by 3,022 residents through to 2041 (using the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch). Under ongoing building trends, housing supply is expected to meet demand, fostering balanced conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

6,416 residents of Burwood East are employed, from a labour force of 6,783. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 62.6%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Burwood East is characterised by a highly qualified labor force with strong representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of 5.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.6% over the past year, according to AreaSearch regional data aggregations. In March 2026, 6,416 residents were employed, while the unemployment rate was 0.6% higher than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, and labor force participation was notably lower (62.6% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne). Census records indicate that a high 34.2% of residents worked from home, although this should be viewed in light of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical services. The suburb shows a notable concentration in the accommodation & food sector, where local employment is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, construction has a minor footprint, accounting for 7.1% of employment compared to 9.7% across the region. Although local employment is available, the ratio of the Census working population to the local population suggests many residents travel outside the suburb for work. Based on AreaSearch research using SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the year leading to March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 1.6% and the labor force expand by 2.6%, which led to a 1.0 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% growth in employment, a 2.3% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Burwood East. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate job patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary widely by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment could rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate localized 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 — 482 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,675 at the 2021 Census → 12,465 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.
