Daylesford has an estimated 2,787 residents. Density is about 73 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Daylesford has an estimated population of approximately 2,787 residents, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS regional updates alongside post-Census address validations. This count represents a gain of 6 people (0.2%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 2,781 people. The figure builds upon an estimated resident population of 2,785, derived from AreaSearch's review of the ABS June 2025 ERP release combined with 78 validated new addresses recorded since the Census date. With a density of 73 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample space per occupant and capacity for future development.
The suburb of Daylesford recorded a 0.2% increase since census, trailing the wider SA3 area (2.8%) by 2.6 percentage points while sustaining sound growth dynamics. Inflow from interstate migration served as the primary demographic catalyst, generating roughly 59.0% of recent population additions. Demographic projections for each SA2 area are sourced from ABS/Geoscience Australia 2024 releases using 2022 as the base year, while unlisted SA2 districts utilize the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA projections adjusted via weighted growth aggregations from LGA to SA2 tiers. Age cohort growth rates calculated through this aggregation framework are further extended across all territories for the years 2032 to 2041. In line with prevailing demographic trajectories, the suburb of Daylesford is projected to experience growth slightly beneath the median for non-metropolitan Australian localities, expanding by 260 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level estimates, which equates to a cumulative 16-year increase of 9.3%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
107 new dwellings have been approved in Daylesford over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 7.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 85% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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
According to AreaSearch's assessment of ABS building approvals across statistical geographies, residential construction in Daylesford averaged roughly 21 new dwelling approvals annually, accumulating an estimated 107 homes over the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 13 approvals have been logged. The arrival of an average of 0.5 new residents per year per completed dwelling across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates that residential construction is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand, expanding options for purchasers and creating capacity for population expansion beyond current forecasts.
Furthermore, newly approved dwellings show an average expected construction cost of $713,000, signaling residential developer emphasis on upscale, high-end housing stock. Complementing this, $6.2 million in commercial approvals was registered this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the local building pipeline. In comparison to Rest of Vic., local building activity in Daylesford is slightly elevated (11.0% above the regional per-capita benchmark over the 5 year period), supporting current real estate values while maintaining ample purchaser options. Detached houses comprise 85.0% of new residential development, with townhouses or apartments accounting for the remaining 15.0%, preserving the township's established low-density urban form and emphasizing family residences geared toward buyers seeking spacious living. With approximately 150 people per dwelling approval, the planning environment continues to reflect a low-density residential profile. From the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate through to 2041, Daylesford is forecast to add 258 residents. Given ongoing construction patterns, future residential building supply is well positioned to comfortably satisfy local requirements, fostering supportive purchasing conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond baseline expectations.

1,304 residents of Daylesford are employed, from a labour force of 1,348. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 53.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,303, about 83% 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
Daylesford features a highly qualified labor force with solid representation across essential services and a low unemployment rate of 3.3%, as compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area figures. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,304, with the local jobless rate tracking 0.4% below the 3.7% recorded for Regional Vic., even though the local participation rate of 53.5% trails the Regional Vic. mark of 61.1%. In Census reporting, an elevated 31.1% of workers indicated working from home, a metric that may reflect broader Covid-19 lockdown conditions. Local workforce employment is largely centered around accommodation & food, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
Accommodation & food represents a standout industry cluster, engaging workers at 2.8 times the broader regional rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.3% of the resident workforce compared to 7.5% across the surrounding region. A comparison of resident workers against the local Census working population points to a relatively contained volume of jobs situated directly within the township. Data from ABS and SALM evaluated by AreaSearch across broader statistical boundaries indicates that over the 12-month period, the local labor pool contracted by 1.0% alongside a 2.0% decrease in employment, driving an increase of 1.0 percentage points in the unemployment rate. This diverged from Regional Vic., where employment dipped by 0.1%, the workforce reduced by 0.3%, and unemployment dropped 0.2 percentage points. Broader perspective on future labor requirements in Daylesford can be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections released in Mar-26. Projected nationally at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry growth rates vary considerably across sectors; applying these sector-specific trajectories to the local industry mix yields an estimated employment expansion of 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (calculated as a weighted baseline for illustrative purposes without factoring in localized population trends).

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 — 78 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,781 at the 2021 Census → 2,787 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 (SAL20721). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
