Cranbourne has an estimated 22,726 residents, up from 21,281 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,445 people, or 6.8%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. 474 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 60.0% of that increase. That puts 1,377 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 population updates for the wider region alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, Cranbourne has an estimated population of approximately 22,726 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 1,445 people (6.8%) relative to the 21,281 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated based on a resident population of 22,708, estimated by AreaSearch following an analysis of the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, combined with an additional 474 validated new addresses since the Census date. The suburb of Cranbourne has a population density ratio of 1,376 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical average of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Cranbourne's post-census growth rate of 6.8% is within 2.5 percentage points of the state average (9.3%), indicating solid growth characteristics. The primary driver of population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 60.0% of the total population gains in recent times. ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch. For any SA2 regions lacking this information, projections are derived from the 2023 Victoria State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 scales. Age group growth rates from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for the period 2032 to 2041. Based on these shifting demographic trends, the suburb of Cranbourne is projected to experience population growth above the national median, with aggregated SA2-level forecasts indicating an increase of 4,633 persons by 2041, representing a total expansion of 20.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
813 new dwellings have been approved in Cranbourne over the past five years, an average of 162 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 144 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 76% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 99, 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
An analysis of ABS building approval statistics allocated from statistical area data shows that Cranbourne has averaged approximately 162 new residential approvals each year, amounting to an estimated 813 homes over the previous 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 91 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.3 new residents per year arriving for each new home between FY-21 and FY-25, the local housing market shows a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand, promoting steady conditions. The average construction cost of these new residences stands at $429,000, which is moderately above regional averages and suggests a focus on higher-quality builds.
Furthermore, local commercial activity is robust, with $73.8 million in commercial development approvals recorded during this financial year. When compared to Greater Melbourne, construction activity per capita in Cranbourne is roughly half, yet it ranks in the 70th percentile of locations evaluated across the country. Standalone houses make up 76.0% of the new building activity, while townhouses or apartments constitute 24.0%, maintaining a traditional suburban landscape dominated by spacious family properties. With approximately 188 people per approval, Cranbourne exhibits characteristics of an expanding area. Demographic forecasts suggest Cranbourne will add 4,615 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new housing will easily accommodate this demand, offering favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond the current population projections.

11,466 residents of Cranbourne are employed, from a labour force of 12,537. Unemployment sits at 8.5%, with participation at 68.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Cranbourne has a skilled labor force, particularly within the construction industry which displays high representation, alongside an unemployment rate of 8.5% and a yearly estimated employment growth rate of 4.4%, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 11,466, while the local unemployment rate sat 3.8% higher than the 4.8% recorded in Greater Melbourne, showing room for improvement. The workforce participation rate is slightly below average at 68.2%, compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne. According to Census records, a moderate 13.5% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and construction. The area displays a strong specialization in manufacturing, with its employment share in this sector reaching 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.3% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 10.1% observed across Greater Melbourne. Comparing the number of working residents to the local job market suggests that a significant portion of the population travels outside the area for employment. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 4.4% and the labor force expand by 4.4%, keeping the unemployment rate steady. In contrast, Greater Melbourne saw employment grow by 2.1%, the labor force increase by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate rise by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context for future demand in Cranbourne. These five and ten-year projections have been mapped against the local industry profile to estimate future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary considerably by sector. Applying these trends to the local employment mix suggests Cranbourne's employment figures will rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized 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 — 474 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (21,281 at the 2021 Census → 22,726 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 (SAL20662). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
