Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS population statistics alongside addresses verified post-Census, the suburb of Hampton Park is estimated to have a population of approximately 27,201 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 1,119 people (4.3%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 26,082 people. Such growth is determined from an estimated resident population of 27,141 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 354 validated new addresses added following the Census. Across the suburb of Hampton Park, population density reaches 2,039 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch.
Inflow from overseas migration served as the primary demographic driver, generating around 67.0% of recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 across the suburb of Hampton Park rely on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data benchmarked to 2022, while unlisted localities incorporate 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA figures adjusted through weighted aggregation from local government to SA2 levels. For the period spanning 2032 to 2041, cohort-specific age expansion rates from these aggregations are also applied. Future demographic trends indicate above-median growth relative to locations assessed by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Hampton Park projected to expand by 3,334 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2 models, delivering a cumulative expansion of 12.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
375 new dwellings have been approved in Hampton Park over the past five years, an average of 75 a year. That is 2.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 72 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 49% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 67, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Hampton Park averages roughly 75 residential dwellings approved per year, accumulating to approximately 375 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 so far, 67 approvals have been logged. In the context of recent population decline, this building volume remains relatively sufficient for home seekers, while an average residential construction cost of $361,000—sitting below regional figures—points to accessible pricing. Concurrently, $329,000 in commercial building approvals has been registered during the current financial year, highlighting an environment focused mostly on residential construction.
Building approvals in Hampton Park track substantially behind Greater Melbourne, falling 80.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark. Such constrained new supply generally underpins buyer competition and pricing for established dwellings. Construction volumes are likewise subdued by national standards, illustrating local development maturity alongside possible urban planning bottlenecks. New residential building approvals are split between 49.0% detached dwellings and 51.0% medium and high-density housing types. This higher-density pipeline establishes more accessible price brackets appealing to first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a structural evolution away from the local baseline (93.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of greenfield sites, evolving lifestyle preferences, and heightened necessity for diversified, economical housing stock. Generating around 438 people per approval, the locality displays the hallmarks of an established urban environment. Forecasts indicate that Hampton Park will expand by 3,274 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly calculation by AreaSearch. Although present construction activity aligns with forecast demographic growth, incoming population increases could lead to tighter market conditions for prospective property buyers.

Narre Warren South Development Plan Area
Large-scale urban development plan for an area bounded by Centre Road to the north, Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road to the east, the proposed Glasscocks Road to the south, and a transmission line easement to the west. The plan covers approximately 460 hectares intended to accommodate 12,500 people across 4,000 dwellings. While the precinct is substantially complete with major road upgrades finished in late 2024, minor community infrastructure remains in the final delivery stages as of early 2026.
Hampton Park Hill Development Plan
A 260-hectare precinct plan for the Hallam Road Waste and Resource Recovery Hub in Hampton Park, identified by the Victorian Government as one of 22 hubs of state importance for waste and resource recovery. The adopted Development Plan (July 2023) provides a framework for 58 hectares of light industrial employment land, public open space, integrated transport infrastructure, and waste and resource recovery activities, all within a 500-metre landfill gas separation buffer. The Veolia transfer station proposed within the precinct was refused a development licence by EPA Victoria in April 2025, with VCAT upholding that refusal on 10 April 2026.Veolia subsequently indicated an appeal is unlikely. Planning Scheme Amendment C294, which seeks to implement the Development Plan through the Casey Planning Scheme, remains pending Ministerial authorisation and public exhibition. The existing Hallam Road landfill continues to fill its final cells, with rehabilitation and progressive conversion to public open space expected within the next decade.

13,191 residents of Hampton Park are employed, from a labour force of 14,474. Unemployment sits at 8.9%, with participation at 66.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 21,247, 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
Hampton Park boasts a qualified labor pool with significant presence in manufacturing and industrial fields, alongside an unemployment rate of 8.9% and an estimated employment growth of 4.1% during the previous year, according to AreaSearch aggregated statistical area information. By March 2026, 13,191 residents were employed, and the unemployment rate stood 4.1% higher than Greater Melbourne's 4.8%, indicating potential for enhancement, while workforce participation remained somewhat below the norm at 66.5% relative to Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. Census data indicates that only 12.9% of residents worked from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account when interpreting these figures.
Key sectors employing local workers are manufacturing, health care & social assistance, and construction. Hampton Park demonstrates an exceptional concentration in manufacturing, engaging workers at 2.3 times the Greater Melbourne rate. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, engaging 4.2% of local workers versus 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Census comparisons between local workers and resident totals indicate that this predominantly residential district supplies relatively few jobs within its borders. During the twelve months leading to March 2026, AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures shows that local employment expanded by 4.1% alongside a 4.2% increase in the labour force, resulting in a steady jobless rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and its labour force by 2.3%, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader perspective on future workforce requirements in Hampton Park is provided by national Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26. Projected national growth sits at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry trajectories vary considerably. Correlating these sector trends with local employment shares implies that resident employment could increase by 5.7% over five years and 12.5% over ten years (calculated as a weighted illustration that excludes specific local demographic trends).

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 — 354 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (26,082 at the 2021 Census → 27,201 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 (SAL21133). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
