Coburg North has an estimated 8,843 residents, up from 8,327 at the 2021 Census — a change of 516 people, or 6.2%. 145 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 93.0% of that increase. That puts 1,850 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
As of Aug 2026, the population in the suburb of Coburg North is calculated at approximately 8,843, drawing on AreaSearch analysis of broader ABS updates alongside post-Census validated address data. This figure represents an expansion of 516 people (6.2%) relative to the 8,327 residents documented in the 2021 Census. Such movement is derived from AreaSearch's evaluation of the ABS June 2025 ERP release (8,826 resident population) plus 145 validated new addresses added after the Census date. Consequently, population density stands at 1,850 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the benchmark across locations assessed nationally by AreaSearch.
Across the prior decade, the suburb of Coburg North recorded resilient expansion with a 1.4% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the SA3 region, with population gains primarily underpinned by overseas migration supplying roughly 93.0% of recent growth. Projections generated by the ABS/Geoscience Australia (2024 release, 2022 base year) are implemented by AreaSearch for SA2 areas, while unrepresented areas utilize VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2023 adjusted via weighted growth aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. These aggregated age-specific trajectories are similarly applied across all locations for 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, demographic modelling indicates exceptional growth placing the suburb of Coburg North in the top 10 percent of statistical areas evaluated by AreaSearch, with numbers anticipated to lift by 3,845 persons through to 2041 via aggregated SA2 figures, translating to an overall rise of 43.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
118 new dwellings have been approved in Coburg North over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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
Dwelling approval data from the ABS, mapped across statistical boundaries by AreaSearch, reveals that Coburg North recorded roughly 23 residential approvals annually, delivering an estimated 118 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 19 approvals have been logged. With an average intake of 1.6 new residents per approved dwelling annually over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 through FY-25), development matches incoming demand effectively to maintain balanced market fundamentals, while construction costs average $583,000 per dwelling—slightly exceeding regional norms—reflecting a preference for higher-end builds. Additionally, commercial development shows strong momentum, supported by $44.6 million in commercial building approvals in the current financial year.
Coburg North experiences substantially lower building volumes than Greater Melbourne, registering 65.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark. This subdued level of construction activity tends to strengthen pricing and buyer interest for established dwellings, while matching broader national trends that signal market maturity and structural site constraints. Recent residential building activity is distributed between detached houses (45.0%) and medium-to-high density formats such as townhouses and apartments (55.0%). This transition toward compact housing delivers accessible pricing for downsizers, entry-level buyers, and investors, while marking a significant departure from the current housing stock (where detached houses constitute 76.0%), illustrating site scarcity and rising demand for varied residential options. The presence of roughly 504 people per dwelling approval further underlines an established urban setting. Moving forward, projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release estimate that Coburg North will add 3,828 residents through to 2041. If residential construction volumes remain at current levels, housing additions may fall behind population expansion, thereby heightening purchaser competition and placing upward pressure on property values.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years.

Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch from statistical area collections shows that Coburg North possesses an educated labour pool with strong professional representation, steady annual employment conditions, and an unemployment rate of only 3.0%. There were 5,188 employed residents recorded as of March 2026, alongside an unemployment rate standing 1.8% beneath the 4.8% figure for Greater Melbourne and a typical participation rate of 73.2% (compared to 70.1% across Greater Melbourne). Census returns indicated that 42.1% of workers conducted their duties from home, an outcome influenced in part by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
Local representation is especially pronounced in education & training, which captures a share 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, construction represents an under-indexed sector, accounting for 7.0% of local workers relative to 9.7% throughout Greater Melbourne. With 0.6 local positions for every resident at the Census, the suburb maintains an above-average volume of nearby employment options. According to AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures across regional boundaries, the 12 months to March 2026 saw local employment rise by 0.3% while the labour pool contracted by 0.6%, reducing the unemployment rate by 0.9 percentage points. Over the same timeframe across Greater Melbourne, employment increased 2.1%, the workforce expanded 2.3%, and unemployment rose 0.2 percentage points. Longer-term hiring trends can be evaluated using national industry projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 across five and ten-year timeframes. Nationally, overall employment is projected to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector; mapping these industry paths to the local occupational structure indicates expected employment gains of 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years in Coburg North (a weighted illustrative model independent of local population 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 — 145 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,327 at the 2021 Census → 8,843 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 (SAL20597). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
