Detail
According to ABS demographic updates and post-Census address verification by AreaSearch, the suburb of Glen Waverley has an estimated 46,295 residents as of May 2026. This represents an 8.6% rise, or an additional 3,653 individuals, relative to the 42,642 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 46,237 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS release from June 2025, combined with 314 validated new addresses established post-Census. With these figures, the suburb of Glen Waverley shows a population density of 2,749 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the top quartile of domestic regions analyzed by AreaSearch.
The area's 8.6% post-Census growth is just 0.7 percentage points below the state average of 9.3%, reflecting strong underlying growth. This demographic increase was almost entirely fueled by overseas migration, which served as the primary source of population growth in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For any SA2 locations lacking this data, projections are sourced from the 2023 Victorian State Government LGA releases, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA level to SA2 boundaries. Age structure growth rates from these aggregations are also applied to all territories for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts point to population gains exceeding the national median, with projections showing the suburb of Glen Waverley expanding by 9,709 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, which equates to a total rise of 20.9% over 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 41,909, 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
Data compiled by AreaSearch shows that the suburb of Glen Waverley has a highly skilled labor force, with strong numbers of professionals, a low unemployment rate of 2.0%, and an annual job growth rate estimated at 4.3%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 24,120, while the local unemployment rate sat 2.8 percentage points below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. However, the local workforce participation rate of 63.2% is considerably lower than the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census data revealed that a substantial 36.5% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical services, and retail trade. The professional & technical services sector is especially prominent, showing employment concentrations 1.3 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, construction workers are less represented, accounting for 6.3% of the local workforce compared to the metropolitan average of 9.7%. The comparison between the local working population and resident employment numbers from the Census suggests the suburb is mostly residential with limited local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the year ending March 2026, local employment grew by 4.3% while the labor force expanded by 4.4%, leading to a minor rise in the unemployment rate of 0.1 percentage points. Over the same period, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labor force grow by 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be examined using the national forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year national projections have been applied to the local industry profile to estimate future trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these trends to the local industry structure suggests employment in the suburb of Glen Waverley could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, representing a simple weighted projection that does not factor in local population growth models.

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 — 314 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (42,642 at the 2021 Census → 46,295 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.
