Sales Detail
Edithvale has an estimated 6,865 residents, up from 6,276 at the 2021 Census — a change of 589 people, or 9.4%. Growth has averaged 1.5% a year over five years. 111 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 60.0% of that increase. That puts 3,333 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
As of May 2026, the suburb of Edithvale has an estimated population of approximately 6,865, according to calculations based on new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census and ABS population figures for the wider region. When compared to the 2021 Census which documented 6,276 people, this represents a growth of 589 people (9.4%). This shift is deduced from a resident population count of 6,845, which AreaSearch calculated by analyzing the ABS ERP updates from June 2025 alongside 111 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With a density of 3,332 persons per square kilometer, the area ranks in the top quartile of Australian settings evaluated by AreaSearch.
Outperforming both the SA3 area (6.7%) and the SA4 region, the suburb of Edithvale established itself as a regional frontrunner in expansion with its 9.4% post-2021 Census growth rate. The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 60.0% of the total population gains in recent times. To model future trends for the suburb of Edithvale, AreaSearch applies the 2024 projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as the baseline. In cases where SA2 figures are missing, calculations rely on the 2023 Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government, adjusted via weighted aggregation to bridge LGA and SA2 levels. These aggregations also supply age cohort growth rates applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transitions, the suburb of Edithvale is projected to experience an expansion slightly under the median of localities assessed by AreaSearch. Specifically, aggregated SA2-level forecasts indicate the suburb of Edithvale will expand by 731 persons to 2041, representing a total rise of 10.4% over the course of 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
255 new dwellings have been approved in Edithvale over the past five years, an average of 51 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 35% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 41, broadly in line with 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 evaluations of ABS building permit records mapped from local statistical zones, Edithvale has maintained a yearly average of roughly 51 residential approvals. This is represented by 255 home permits granted during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with another 38 registered during FY-26 to date. An average of 1.9 new residents arriving annually for each new residence during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) suggests that supply aligns closely with demand, supporting balanced market conditions. Developers are targeting higher-end buyers, with new constructions carrying a mean estimated cost of $598,000.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $8.1 million during this financial year, indicating that non-residential expansion remains a minor priority in the locality. In comparison to Greater Melbourne, construction activity in Edithvale is slightly elevated, running at 46.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period. This maintains choices for purchasers while supporting demand for established properties. Recent building approvals consist of 35.0% standalone houses and 65.0% medium or high-density dwellings. This emphasis on denser formats provides cost-effective entry points, drawing interest from first-home buyers, investors, and individuals looking to downsize. This represents a substantial departure from the current residential mix (which stands at 51.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of vacant land alongside evolving lifestyle preferences that demand varied and accessible housing alternatives. Recording approximately 124 people per building approval, Edithvale exhibits the typical features of an expanding market. Moving forward, projections from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch indicate Edithvale will add 711 residents by 2041. Provided current building velocities persist, the generation of new housing should easily satisfy this incoming demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially underpinning population expansion that exceeds current forecasts.

3,929 residents of Edithvale are employed, from a labour force of 4,086. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 71.4%. 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 5,258, about 77% 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
According to aggregated statistical data compiled by AreaSearch, Edithvale features a highly educated labor pool and strong representation in key public service domains, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.8% and an annual job expansion of 0.8%. The local working population numbered 3,929 as of March 2026, with the jobless rate tracking 0.9% lower than the Greater Melbourne figure of 4.8%, while participation levels match the metropolitan average of 70.2% closely. Census records highlight that a notable 37.4% of working locals did so from home, though this figure likely reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The local workforce is largely engaged in health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The representation of workers in education & training is especially high, reaching 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing accounts for a modest 2.6% of the workforce, which sits below the 5.2% figure for Greater Melbourne. Given the mismatch between the resident labor force and the local job count recorded in the Census, this suburb functions mainly as a dormitory community with few local employment options. Analysis by AreaSearch using regional data from ABS and SALM shows that during the 12 months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 0.8% and the labor force grew by 0.4%, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% rise in employment, a 2.3% growth in its labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point increase in joblessness. To gauge future employment trends, the May-25 long-term national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia can be analyzed alongside Edithvale's industry breakdown. Although overall nationwide employment is projected to climb by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, rates of change vary widely by sector. When these national industry trends are applied directly to Edithvale's current job distribution, local employment is modeled to grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this simple weight-based projection excludes custom local demographic adjustments.

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 — 111 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,276 at the 2021 Census → 6,865 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 (SAL20848). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
