This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Derrimut has an estimated 8,944 residents, up from 8,651 at the 2021 Census — a change of 293 people, or 3.4%. That puts 698 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 investigations of ABS demographic statistics for the surrounding region, alongside new addresses confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the population of the suburb of Derrimut is calculated to be approximately 8,944 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 293 people (3.4%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 8,651 people. This shift is deduced from the resident population of 8,944, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP details published by the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 59 validated new addresses following the Census. This population level translates to a density ratio of 698 persons per square kilometer, which aligns relatively well with typical averages recorded across places analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 3.4% expansion in the suburb of Derrimut since the 2021 census went past the SA3 region (2.1%), establishing it as a local growth frontrunner. Demographic gains in the locality were chiefly propelled by international migration, which accounted for roughly 64.0% of the total population rise during recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia estimations for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the foundation year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts published in 2023, modified using a system of weighted aggregation of demographic expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age brackets from these groupings are likewise utilized across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Projecting upcoming demographic shifts, a substantial population rise in the top quartile of national statistical zones is expected, with the locality projected to grow by 2,203 persons to 2041 using aggregated SA2-level forecasts, showing a total increase of 24.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building permit statistics, distributed from statistical zone records, the suburb of Derrimut has averaged approximately 3 dwellings obtaining building consent annually, with an estimated 19 properties approved throughout the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 4 thus far during FY-26. With the population shrinking over late years, incoming supply has probably matched demand, providing good options for purchasers, while new properties are being constructed at an average price of $840,000, showing developer interest in the upper-tier market with high-end houses. There has also been $7.0 million in commercial approvals this financial year, showing limited commercial development focus.
Compared with Greater Melbourne, the suburb of Derrimut displays substantially lower construction volumes (86.0% below the regional per capita average). This restricted new development generally supports demand and values for pre-existing properties. This is also lower than national figures, indicating a mature market and suggesting potential construction limitations. Meanwhile, recent building projects consist entirely of detached houses, preserving the traditional low-density profile of the locality with a focus on family properties suited for those wanting space. The estimated ratio of 2974 people in the locality for each dwelling approval highlights its quiet, low-activity development landscape. Future forecasts indicate the suburb of Derrimut will add 2,203 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection). If current construction trends persist, residential supply might fall short of population expansion, which could heighten rivalry among purchasers and underpin faster value appreciation.

4,942 residents of Derrimut are employed, from a labour force of 5,195. Unemployment sits at 4.9%, with participation at 76.1%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 12,864, about 144% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 suburb of Derrimut features a well-educated labor force with varied industry representation, a jobless rate of 4.9%, and 1.7% in estimated job expansion over the previous year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical zone statistics. In March 2026, 4,942 local residents are employed while the unemployment rate is 0.1% higher than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, and workforce engagement is significantly elevated (76.1% relative to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne). Based on Census details, a moderate 22.4% of residents performed their jobs from home, although Covid-19 quarantine effects must be kept in mind.
Jobs among local residents are concentrated in transport, postal & warehousing, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. The locality displays an especially high concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, with a jobs share that is 2.5 times the regional proportion. Conversely, professional & technical roles have a smaller representation, accounting for 6.3% of jobs compared to 10.1% across the region. With 1.5 workers for each resident at the time of the Census, the locality serves as a major employment center, offering more jobs than it has residents and drawing commuters from neighboring areas. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader statistical regions, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 1.7% while the labor force expanded by 1.9%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. For comparison, Greater Melbourne registered job growth of 2.1%, labor force expansion of 2.3%, and an unemployment rise of 0.2 percentage points. National employment outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 can provide additional perspective on potential future demand in the suburb of Derrimut. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local industry distribution to project growth trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion speeds vary widely across sectors. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local employment distribution suggests employment in the suburb of Derrimut should rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 59 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,651 at the 2021 Census → 8,944 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 (SAL20743). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
