Sales Detail
Dimboola has an estimated 1,571 residents, down from 1,635 at the 2021 Census — a change of 64 people, or 3.9%. The population has thinned by an average 1.1% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region alongside newly identified residential addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, Dimboola has a projected population of approximately 1,571 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 64 residents (-3.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 1,635 individuals. This shift is calculated from a resident base of 1,568, determined by AreaSearch through analyzing the June 2025 ABS Estimated Resident Population publication, supplemented by 12 validated new addresses post-Census. With this population level, the locality has a density of 3.6 persons per square kilometer, indicating a highly spacious environment.
The -3.9% contraction rate in Dimboola is within 2.3 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (-1.6%), showing similar regional population trends. Overseas migration stood out as the single primary source of population growth in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which use 2022 as their baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking these projections, AreaSearch incorporates the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional and LGA projections, adjusting them via a weighted aggregation methodology from LGA down to SA2 scales. Cohort-specific growth rates derived from these models are subsequently applied across all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead to future demographic changes, the community is projected to follow the lower quartile growth trends seen across regional Australia, with projections indicating a rise of 39 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing an overall expansion of 2.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Property development in the suburb of Dimboola is highly restricted, averaging a single approval annually, with a total of 8 approvals recorded over the previous five years. This minimal level of building activity aligns with the rural character of the locality, where construction projects are generally triggered by local housing requirements rather than broader market patterns. Because overall numbers are so small, individual development projects can have a disproportionate effect on annual expansion rates and comparative metrics. Dimboola exhibits a much lower volume of residential building approvals than the Rest of Vic.
and falls well below the national average for development. All recent approvals have consisted of detached houses, focusing specifically on family-sized homes designed for people seeking a rural lifestyle and open space. An estimated ratio of 629 residents for every single approved dwelling highlights the quiet and low-impact nature of the local building environment. Future demographic models project that the suburb of Dimboola will gain 36 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Residential construction is keeping a moderate pace with this projected population growth, though prospective home buyers could face higher competition as the resident base grows.

655 residents of Dimboola are employed, from a labour force of 669. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 49.2%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 1,337, about 85% 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
Dimboola features a balanced employment profile split between white-collar and blue-collar occupations, with a strong presence of workers in essential service sectors and an unemployment rate of just 2.1% based on statistical data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 655 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate sat 1.6% lower than the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%, while the labor participation rate of 49.2% was significantly lower than the Regional Vic. level of 61.1%. According to Census records, a moderate 15.9% of workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and transport, postal & warehousing. The community has a notable concentration of agricultural, forestry, and fishing jobs, with its share of employment in this sector reaching 2.3 times the Regional Vic. average. Conversely, manufacturing jobs are less common, accounting for 5.0% of local employment compared to the regional rate of 7.7%. A comparison of the Census working population against the local resident population suggests a restricted number of local job opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the surrounding region indicates that over the 12 months ending in March 2026, the local workforce shrank by 3.6% and employment fell by 1.9%, which drove the unemployment rate down by 1.7 percentage points. Over the same timeframe in Regional Vic., employment decreased by 0.1%, the overall labor force shrank by 0.3%, and unemployment dropped by 0.2 percentage points. The May-25 national job forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia help illustrate potential employment trends within the suburb of Dimboola. 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 rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these specific industry trends to the local employment structure suggest that Dimboola's workforce should expand by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation rather than a local population projection.

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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,635 at the 2021 Census → 1,571 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 (SAL20756). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
