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
Chadstone has an estimated 10,683 residents, up from 9,552 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,131 people, or 11.8%. Growth has averaged 1.5% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. 114 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 87.0% of that increase. That puts 3,514 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 evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside newly validated addresses by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count for the suburb of Chadstone is calculated to be roughly 10,683 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,131 individuals (11.8%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 9,552 individuals. This shift is derived from a resident total of 10,666, estimated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP statistics from June 2025 and 114 validated new addresses added after the Census date. This population level corresponds to a density of 3,514 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of all Australian areas assessed by AreaSearch.
The 11.8% expansion in the suburb of Chadstone since the 2021 census outpaced the state figure of 9.3% and the national average, making it a regional frontrunner in growth. The primary catalyst for demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 87.0% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 projections are unavailable, calculations rely on the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted by aggregating LGA population increases to SA2 levels using a weighted approach. The age bracket growth rates from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the period 2032 to 2041. Future demographic models suggest a major population expansion within the top quartile of statistical zones analyzed by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Chadstone projected to add 2,933 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level estimates, showing an overall rise of 27.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
239 new dwellings have been approved in Chadstone over the past five years, an average of 47 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 37 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 54% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 62, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building permit data distributed from statistical areas, development approvals in Chadstone average roughly 47 dwellings annually, resulting in an estimated 239 residences over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 57 approvals registered. With an average of 3.3 new residents per constructed dwelling added annually over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, which generally drives up acquisition costs and intensifies buyer competition, while new residences carry an average development value of $783,000, showing that developers are prioritizing high-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $29.6 million this financial year, demonstrating robust commercial building activity. Relative to Greater Melbourne, Chadstone records comparable per capita building rates, maintaining a market balance that matches the surrounding region. Residential construction consists of 54.0% detached homes and 46.0% medium and high-density choices, showing a rising volume of medium-density formats that provide varied options across price ranges, from classic family properties to more affordable compact housing. With roughly 359 individuals for every residential approval, the local market shows a mature state of development. Demographic projections indicate Chadstone will add 2,916 inhabitants by 2041, based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. At the current pace of construction, housing supply might struggle to keep up with demographic growth, which could intensify competition among buyers and support rising values.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
65A Power Avenue Social Housing
Council identified 65A Power Avenue for a 48-dwelling social housing project led by HousingFirst Limited. Following EOI and lease negotiations through 2023-24, HousingFirst advised in June 2024 that it could not proceed under the proposed lease model due to funding model changes. On 27 August 2024, Council resolved not to proceed with the lease after rejecting alternatives proposed by HousingFirst. The concept remains a 3-level building with 48 dwellings, basement car and bike parking, and communal spaces; however the project is not advancing at this time.
Suburban Rail Loop East
SRL East is delivering 26km of twin underground rail tunnels and six new underground stations connecting Cheltenham, Clayton, Monash, Glen Waverley, Burwood, and Box Hill[cite: 1]. Major construction and site preparation are active across all station sites, with tunnel boring machines launching from the Burwood site[cite: 1]. The new orbital rail line will connect major educational, health, and commercial precincts while integrating with existing regional and metropolitan rail networks[cite: 1].

6,541 residents of Chadstone are employed, from a labour force of 6,701. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 73.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,470, about 79% 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 is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent in professional services, a low unemployment rate of 2.4%, and an estimated job growth of 5.3% over the prior year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. In March 2026, working residents numbered 6,541, while the local unemployment rate sat 2.4% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, and labor participation was relatively typical (73.3% versus 70.2% in Greater Melbourne). Census data indicates that a high 37.3% of the working population operated from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical services, and retail trade. The locality shows a particularly high density of finance & insurance roles, employing residents at 1.5 times the wider regional rate. On the other hand, construction representation is lower, accounting for 6.9% compared to the regional benchmark of 9.7%. This largely residential locality appears to provide sparse local job opportunities, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader zones, during the twelve months ending March 2026, employment grew by 5.3% and the labor force expanded by 5.1%, bringing the unemployment rate down by 0.2 percentage points. Conversely, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labor force grow by 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase. National employment estimates from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on prospective employment demands in Chadstone. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to model growth patterns. Although the national workforce is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the pace varies widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents should rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local population 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 — 114 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,552 at the 2021 Census → 10,683 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 (SAL20528). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
