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
Hastings (Vic.) has an estimated 10,648 residents, up from 10,369 at the 2021 Census — a change of 279 people, or 2.7%. 260 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 411 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
Following an examination of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Hastings (Vic.) is calculated to have approximately 10,648 residents as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 279 individuals (2.7%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 10,369 residents. The shift is derived from the resident population of 10,634, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP statistics published by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 260 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population size corresponds to a density of 411 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial room per individual and potential space for subsequent expansion. The 2.7% growth in the suburb of Hastings (Vic.) since the 2021 census surpassed the SA3 region (2.0%), establishing it as a primary driver of expansion in the area. Overseas migration drove the majority of the population increases, accounting for roughly 55.00000000000001% of total population additions over recent timeframes. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch applies the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections published in 2023, modified using a weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 tiers. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Factoring in the anticipated demographic changes, the suburb of Hastings (Vic.) is projected to experience population growth above the national median, with the area expected to grow by 1,700 persons to 2041 based on combined SA2-level projections, showing a total rise of 15.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
263 new dwellings have been approved in Hastings (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 52 a year. That is 5.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 53 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval records distributed from statistical area data, Hastings has maintained an average of approximately 52 new residential approvals annually, with an estimated 263 dwellings approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 53 during the current FY-26. With a mean of only 0.6 people per year relocating to the area for every home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction volume is satisfying or exceeding demand, offering buyers more choices while allowing for population growth beyond estimates, with new dwellings built at an average value of $729,000, showing that developers are focusing on the high-end market segment with premium properties.
Commercial approvals have also reached $53.9 million this financial year, showing robust commercial development activity. Relative to Greater Melbourne, Hastings displays comparable building rates (per person), maintaining a market balance in line with adjacent regions. New construction consists of 70.0% detached houses and 30.0% medium and high-density dwellings, with a diversifying range of townhouses and apartments offering choices across various price ranges, from family residences to more economical compact options. With approximately 327 people per approval, Hastings is characterized as a low density locality. Upcoming forecasts indicate Hastings will gain 1,686 inhabitants by 2041 (derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Building activity is progressing at a reasonable rate relative to projected expansion, though purchasers may experience rising competition as the population increases.

4,691 residents of Hastings (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 4,964. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 56.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Hastings possesses a balanced labor force consisting of white and blue collar workers, with the construction sector showing notable representation, an unemployment rate of 5.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.1% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 4,691 residents are employed, while the unemployment rate is 0.7% higher than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, and labor force participation is notably lower (56.2% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). Census statistics show a low 13.0% of residents working from home, although the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns must be taken into account.
Resident employment is primarily clustered in construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The locality shows a particular concentration in construction, with an employment proportion 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles have a minor footprint at 3.5% employment compared to 10.1% across the region. The area displays limited local employment options, as shown by the comparison of Census working population to resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 2.1% while the workforce expanded by 0.8%, which led to a 1.2 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1%, workforce growth of 2.3%, and a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia from May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand in Hastings. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local employment distribution to project growth trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the growth rates vary considerably among different industries. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the employment structure of Hastings indicates local jobs should rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local population projections).

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 — 260 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,369 at the 2021 Census → 10,648 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 (SAL21145). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
