DemographicsPopulation Growth in Crib Point

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Crib Point has an estimated 3,337 residents. That puts 509 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates and post-Census validated addresses, the suburb of Crib Point has an estimated population of approximately 3,337 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2021 Census tally of 3,343 people, this represents a reduction of 6 people (0.2%). This trend is deduced from AreaSearch's resident population estimate of 3,333 following the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, combined with 40 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. With a density ratio measuring 508 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Crib Point offers ample living space per resident alongside scope for further expansion.

The 0.2% decline in the suburb of Crib Point contrasts with the SA3 area's 2.0% growth, underscoring diverging demographic paths. Net overseas migration was the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 55.00000000000001% of recent overall population additions. Projections for each SA2 area utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. Where SA2 coverage is missing, AreaSearch applies the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections via a weighted aggregation approach translating LGA growth to the SA2 tier, with age-cohort growth rates extending across all regions for 2032 to 2041. Future demographic estimates position the suburb of Crib Point slightly below the national statistical area median, anticipating an expansion of 331 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, which corresponds to an overall gain of 9.8% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Crib Point

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

32 new dwellings have been approved in Crib Point over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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

Building approval figures from the ABS, mapped across statistical boundaries by AreaSearch, show Crib Point averaging about 6 new dwelling approvals annually, totaling an estimated 32 homes across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 10 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Amid population contraction, residential additions appear to have matched demand effectively, providing ample options for purchasers, with an average construction value of $580,000 signaling a focus on higher-quality development compared to regional standards. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $18.0 million during this financial year, pointing to moderate commercial construction activity.

Per capita residential building activity in Crib Point is roughly half that of Greater Melbourne, placing the locality in the 41st percentile nationwide; this tighter pipeline restricts purchaser choices while reinforcing buyer interest in established homes. This below-national-average volume highlights the mature character of the area alongside possible planning constraints. Composition of new construction is divided between 75.0% separate houses and 25.0% attached units or apartments, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood fabric tailored to family households seeking spacious properties. A ratio of 351 people per approved dwelling highlights an unhurried, restrained building landscape. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection, Crib Point is forecast to gain 327 residents by 2041. Should dwelling creation remain at prevailing speeds, residential supply could lag population growth, potentially heightening competition among homebuyers and driving faster price appreciation.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 295 applications for Crib Point, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution.

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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,343 at the 2021 Census → 3,337 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 (SAL20674). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Crib Point suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Crib Point page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Crib Point data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Sep 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
