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.

Eaglehawk has an estimated 5,848 residents, up from 5,538 at the 2021 Census — a change of 310 people, or 5.6%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 46.0% of that increase. That puts 401 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 evaluations of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Eaglehawk has an estimated residency of 5,848 individuals as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 310 residents (5.6%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 5,538 people. This shift is derived from a resident total of 5,761 calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and post-Census address verification. With this population level, the density stands at 401 persons per square kilometer, indicating ample space per resident and potential capacity for future building.
The 5.6% expansion rate of the suburb of Eaglehawk since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (3.9%) and the SA4 region, positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. Net gains were mostly driven by relocations from other states, which accounted for roughly 46.0% of the overall increase, though all components including natural increase and international migration contributed positively. AreaSearch applies ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 using 2022 as the anchor point. For any SA2 localities missing from this dataset, AreaSearch uses the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, modified via a weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. The age group growth rates from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, a major population surge is expected, placing the area in the highest quartile for national non-metropolitan zones, with the suburb of Eaglehawk projected to grow by 2,237 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level estimates, representing a total expansion of 36.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
100 new dwellings have been approved in Eaglehawk over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That is 3.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 37, 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 allocated from statistical areas shows Eaglehawk has averaged approximately 20 residential approvals yearly, amounting to an estimated 100 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26, there have been 34 approvals registered. Given that construction has supported an average of 1.5 new residents annually per built dwelling over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the local sector displays a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand, fostering steady conditions, while new homes have an average building cost of $407,000, indicating developers are focusing on the upper-tier residential market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $172,000 have been logged during this financial year, pointing to a heavily residential emphasis. When measured against the Rest of Vic., Eaglehawk displays significantly quieter construction activity, registering 50.0% below the regional per capita average. This lack of new inventory generally bolsters demand and valuations for pre-existing properties. Local building levels are also below the national average, reflecting the mature state of the suburb and implying possible planning constraints. Recent completions are made up of 91.0% detached houses and 9.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining the low-density profile with a focus on single-family homes that draw buyers seeking space. An estimated ratio of 443 people for every single residential approval highlights the subdued nature of local building activity. Demographic projections suggest Eaglehawk will add 2,150 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at its current pace, the addition of new housing may not keep up with this population increase, which could intensify competition among buyers and support upward pressure on property values.

The project is being delivered by Melbourne-based Mason Developments, a boutique developer specialising in childcare centres.The site was sold in 2024, with marketing indicating an agreement for lease with a national childcare operator (20 + 10 + 10 years). Located close to Eaglehawk town centre and near Lightning Reef Primary School and California Gully Primary School, the facility is positioned to serve working families in Bendigo's north-west.
2,645 residents of Eaglehawk are employed, from a labour force of 2,794. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 57.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,276, about 90% 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
Eaglehawk has a diverse occupational distribution that spans both professional and manual jobs, with a solid footprint in key service sectors, an unemployment rate of 5.3%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.9% over the preceding year, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, employed residents count 2,645, while the jobless rate sits 1.6% higher than the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%, and the labor participation rate is slightly soft at 57.1% compared to the 61.1% recorded for Regional Vic. Census data indicates that a modest 10.0% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. The suburb exhibits a clear concentration in manufacturing jobs, with its share of employment in this sector reaching 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector accounts for only 2.2% of local workers, which is below the Regional Vic. level of 7.5%. The local area appears to provide a sparse amount of employment opportunities internally, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident workforce. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, the recent 12-month timeframe saw jobs grow by 1.9% and the labor force expand by 1.2%, which brought the unemployment rate down by 0.7 percentage points. Conversely, Regional Vic. saw employment shrink by 0.1% and the labor force contract by 0.3%, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point reduction. The national employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future labor needs in Eaglehawk. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate potential growth. While nationwide employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce distribution suggests that employment for Eaglehawk residents would rise by 6.1% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local population changes.

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,538 at the 2021 Census → 5,848 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.
