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
Horsham has an estimated 15,008 residents, down from 15,134 at the 2021 Census. 222 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 630 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Horsham's population is estimated at around 15,008 as of May 26. This reflects a decrease of 126 people (0.8%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 15,134 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 14,993, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 222 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 629 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development.
While Horsham experienced 0.8% decline since the 2021 census, it performed better than the SA3 area (-1.6%). Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 64.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied to each SA2 area. For locations lacking this data, projections are derived from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional and LGA forecasts, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age-group growth rates from these aggregations are projected forward from 2032 to 2041. Based on these aggregated SA2 projections, population growth outside capital cities is expected to exceed the median, with the suburb of Horsham projected to add 2,498 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 16.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population

This includes 358 home approvals over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 63 approvals during the current FY-26. Amid population decline, this new supply has likely matched demand to provide buyers with options, with new homes constructed at an average value of $461,000, indicating a focus on higher-end properties. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $41.8 million in the current financial year, highlighting strong local business investment.

Horsham Child Care Centre
Horsham Rural City Council approved a planning permit at its December meeting for a new 102-place single storey child care centre on a 1978 square metre vacant block at 75-77 River Road, Horsham, next to the Horsham Church of Christ. The approved plans, submitted by applicant Monty and Jyoti Pty Ltd, include a 613 square metre building, a 720 square metre external play area, and 23 car parking spaces. The site sits within a General Residential Zone and is intended to serve the growing population of Horsham South, an area of more than 5000 residents.Council officers noted the centre supports identified demand for childcare in Horsham and is consistent with the purpose of the General Residential Zone. Three objections were received relating to noise, traffic, parking, odour and property value impacts, which council staff addressed through changes to the landscape plan and fencing height. The permit-approved site has since been listed for sale on the open market, and no confirmed construction start date or completion timeline is currently available.
7,415 residents of Horsham are employed, from a labour force of 7,576. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 61.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,926, about 86% 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 Horsham is home to a skilled workforce with a strong presence in essential services and an unemployment rate of 2.1%, according to aggregated statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 7,415 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate is 1.6 percentage points below the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%. Participation in the workforce matches the Regional Vic. average of 61.1%. Census records show that a low 8.9% of residents worked from home, although this figure may be influenced by lockdowns related to COVID-19. The major employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
The local workforce has a notable concentration in health care & social assistance, employing residents at 1.2 times the rate seen across the region. Conversely, manufacturing has a smaller footprint, employing 4.2% of the workforce compared to 7.7% regionally. Comparisons between the resident population and Census working population suggest that this residential area offers limited local employment opportunities. Data from SALM and the ABS, aggregated from broader statistical areas, shows that in the year leading to March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 3.7% while employment declined by 2.2%, resulting in a 1.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Vic. saw employment decline by 0.1%, labour force size decrease by 0.3%, and unemployment fall by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context for future demand in the suburb of Horsham. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment for residents of the suburb of Horsham could rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years, assuming a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry shares without local population adjustments.

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 — 222 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,134 at the 2021 Census → 15,008 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 (SAL21206). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
