Sales Detail
Creswick has an estimated 3,290 residents. Density is about 66 people per 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Creswick's population is estimated at around 3,290 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 11 people (0.3%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 3,279 people. The difference is calculated from the resident population of 3,288, estimated by AreaSearch based on the ABS's June 2025 ERP data release and an additional 22 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 65 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development.
The suburb of Creswick's 0.3% growth since census positions it within 2.4 percentage points of the SA3 area (2.7%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, which was essentially the sole driver of population gains during recent periods. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. For SA2 areas without this data, projections from the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA releases from 2023 are used, with adjustments made by aggregating growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, growth slightly below the national median for non-metropolitan areas is anticipated, with the area projected to expand by 277 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 8.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
73 new dwellings have been approved in Creswick over the past five years, an average of 14 a year. That is 4.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch, allocated from statistical area data, shows that the locality has averaged approximately 14 new dwelling approvals annually, with an estimated total of 73 homes approved over the past 5 financial years. For FY-26 to date, 18 approvals have been logged. With an average of only 0.3 new residents per year per constructed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the incoming supply matches or exceeds local demand, offering choices for buyers and building capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts, while new dwellings are developed at an average value of $489,000, demonstrating a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.
Commercial approvals of $10.4 million have also been recorded this financial year, showing moderate commercial construction activity. In comparison to the Rest of Vic., building activity per person in this locality runs at about 63% and ranks in the 50th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide. Recent construction is comprised entirely of detached dwellings, maintaining the low-density character of the neighborhood with a focus on single-family homes that attract buyers seeking space. Showing about 328 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays characteristics of a low-density zone. Looking ahead, the locality is projected to expand by 275 residents through to 2041 (starting from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current building rates, the supply of new housing should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.

1,494 residents of Creswick are employed, from a labour force of 1,559. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 55.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,612, 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 locality has a skilled workforce with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 4.1%, and steady employment levels over the prior year, based on AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. In March 2026, 1,494 residents were employed, while the unemployment rate was 0.4% higher than the Regional Vic. rate of 3.7%, and participation in the labor force was considerably lower (55.5% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census data reveals that a moderate 15.8% of residents worked from home, though the influence of COVID-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The locality shows a specific specialization in other services, with an employment share 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is under-represented, employing only 4.1% of the local workforce compared to 7.5% in Regional Vic.. The area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, the labour force increased by 0.5% alongside a 0.4% employment decline, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.8 percentage points. This compares to Regional Vic., where employment fell by 0.1%, labour force contracted by 0.3%, and unemployment fell 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Creswick. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Creswick's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 22 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,279 at the 2021 Census → 3,290 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 (SAL20672). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
