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
Endeavour Hills has an estimated 24,625 residents, up from 24,455 at the 2021 Census. 104 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,606 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
Based on the examination of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region alongside newly verified addresses from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Endeavour Hills has an estimated population of 24,625 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 170 people (0.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 24,455 residents. This population shift is calculated from a resident population of 24,623, which was projected by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) combined with 104 validated new addresses since the Census. With these figures, the local population density stands at 1,606 persons per square kilometer, a level that exceeds the typical density of locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The primary driver of recent population gains was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 71.0% of the overall increase. AreaSearch employs the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the base year, for each SA2. For statistical areas lacking this coverage, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA release are utilized, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA level to the SA2 level. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic trends, the suburb of Endeavour Hills is expected to experience growth in the lower quartile of statistical areas analyzed by AreaSearch, with projections indicating an addition of 233 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 0.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
223 new dwellings have been approved in Endeavour Hills over the past five years, an average of 44 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 76% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 30, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data indicates that the suburb of Endeavour Hills averages approximately 44 residential approvals annually, with a total of 223 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 28 so far in FY-26. Because the population declined during the preceding period, this new supply has likely matched demand, providing buyers with suitable options. The average value of these newly developed dwellings is $523,000, suggesting that builders are focusing on upscale properties within the premium market segment. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $46.5 million this financial year, pointing to robust local commercial activity.
In comparison to Greater Melbourne, the suburb of Endeavour Hills has a significantly lower rate of construction, falling 70.0% below the regional average per capita. Such limited supply typically helps maintain demand and supports pricing for established properties. This building activity also tracks below the national average, reflecting the mature nature of the suburb and suggesting potential planning limitations. Detached houses make up 76.0% of the new construction, while 24.0% consists of attached dwellings, preserving the suburban character of the area with large family properties. The suburb averages approximately 1121 people per dwelling approval, indicating an established property market. Long-term forecasts indicate that the suburb of Endeavour Hills will add 231 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. At the current pace of construction, residential supply is expected to satisfy demand, resulting in favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for growth that surpasses these projections.

12,817 residents of Endeavour Hills are employed, from a labour force of 13,610. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 65.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 19,248, about 78% 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
The suburb of Endeavour Hills possesses a skilled labor force with a notable presence in industrial and manufacturing sectors, an unemployment rate of 5.8%, and an annual employment growth rate estimated at 4.0% based on aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, there are 12,817 residents in employment. The local unemployment rate is 1.1% higher than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, and the labor force participation rate is lower, at 65.5% compared to the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census data reveals that 22.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The suburb displays a strong specialization in manufacturing, with a employment share 1.6 times that of the broader region. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 6.9% of local workers, which is below the Greater Melbourne average of 10.1%. Comparison of the working population to the resident population indicates that this residential area offers limited local employment opportunities. Based on SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical areas by AreaSearch, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 4.0% and the labor force grow by 4.3%, which led to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period in Greater Melbourne, employment grew by 2.1%, the labor force rose by 2.3%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context for future labor demand in the suburb of Endeavour Hills. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests employment for the suburb of Endeavour Hills will rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, using a simple 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 — 104 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (24,455 at the 2021 Census → 24,625 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 (SAL20871). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
