Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS updates and address validations post-Census, the suburb of Glen Waverley has an estimated count of 46,307 residents as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 3,665 people (8.6%) compared to the 42,642 people counted in the 2021 Census. The updated figure builds upon an AreaSearch resident estimate of 46,237 derived from the ABS ERP release in June 2025, alongside 325 validated new addresses added since the Census. With 2,749 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Glen Waverley sits in the top quartile for population density across nationally evaluated locations.
The local 8.6% post-census growth rate closely tracks the Victorian state figure of 9.5%, trailing by only 0.9 percentage points. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary and almost exclusive catalyst for recent demographic gains. Population modelling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on the year 2022. For locations where this dataset is unavailable, LGA-level figures from the 2023 Victorian State Government release are converted to SA2 boundaries via weighted aggregation. Age-specific growth profiles from these models are further projected across all territories for 2032 to 2041. These demographic trajectories indicate above-median expansion relative to national benchmarks, with the suburb of Glen Waverley forecast to gain 9,692 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 models, translating to an overall growth rate of 20.8% across the 16 years.

24,120 residents of Glen Waverley are employed, from a labour force of 24,609. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 63.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 41,923, about 91% 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 local labour market features an exceptionally skilled talent pool with substantial concentration in professional services, a low unemployment rate of 2.0%, and a 4.3% annual increase in total employment based on AreaSearch statistical area datasets. As of March 2026, employed residents total 24,120, holding the jobless rate 2.8% below the 4.8% benchmark seen across Greater Melbourne, although local labour force participation is notably lower at 63.2% compared to 70.1% regionally. Census returns also indicated that 36.5% of working residents carried out their duties from home, an outcome influenced by Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade. Professional & technical roles are exceptionally prominent, capturing a workforce proportion 1.3 times higher than regional levels. Conversely, the construction sector is relatively small, engaging 6.3% of local workers compared to 9.7% throughout Greater Melbourne. Because the district is predominantly residential, internal employment capacity remains limited based on the disparity between working and resident Census populations. Synthesising ABS and SALM statistical data, AreaSearch recorded annual employment growth of 4.3% against a 4.4% expansion in the labour pool, which nudged the local unemployment rate up by 0.1 percentage points. Across Greater Melbourne over the identical timeframe, employment expanded by 2.1% and the labour force grew by 2.3%, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage points rise in joblessness. Further direction is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment outlooks over five and ten-year horizons. Across the nation, total employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the local workforce profile suggests employment for local residents will rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, representing a simple mathematical extrapolation that excludes localised population shifts.

ATO records put median taxable income at $45,319 a year against an average of $70,506. The average runs 56% above the median, a wider spread than most areas and a sign of a concentrated group of high earners. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
Financial year 2023 ATO tax metrics compiled by AreaSearch indicate that personal earnings exceed national benchmarks, with a median of $45,319 and an average of $70,506. These outcomes compare to Greater Melbourne medians of $57,688 and averages of $75,164. Incorporating a 9.62% increase in the Wage Price Index since financial year 2023 adjusts estimated earnings to roughly $49,679 (median) and $77,289 (average) as of March 2026. According to the 2021 Census, weekly household earnings sit at the 60th percentile ($1,918 weekly), whereas personal earnings place at the 29th percentile.

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 — 325 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (42,642 at the 2021 Census → 46,307 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 Aug 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 (SAL21013). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
