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
Huntly has an estimated 5,211 residents, up from 3,585 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,626 people, or 45.4%. Growth has averaged 9.0% a year over five years, faster than 97% of areas nationally. 711 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 44.0% of that increase. That puts 119 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
According to ABS population statistics analyzed for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch after the Census, Huntly's population is estimated to be approximately 5,211 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,626 people (45.4%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,585 residents. The change is based on a resident population of 5,181, which was estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus an additional 711 validated new addresses post-Census. This population size results in a density of 119 persons per square kilometer, offering plenty of space per resident and capacity for future expansion.
Huntly's 45.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area (3.9%) and the SA4 region, positioning it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 44.0% of the overall gains lately, though other factors like interstate and overseas migration also contributed positively. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 areas lacking this data, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA release are utilized, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, the suburb is projected to experience exceptional growth, ranking in the top 10 percent of non-metropolitan areas across the nation, with an estimated addition of 4,068 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 77.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
818 new dwellings have been approved in Huntly over the past five years, an average of 163 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 31 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 148 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 99% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 174, 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
Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, Huntly has averaged roughly 163 new home approvals yearly, with approximately 818 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 160 during the current FY-26 so far. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the area gained an average of 2.2 new residents for each completed dwelling, pointing to healthy demand that underpins property values, with new homes constructed at an average value of $315,000. Furthermore, $17.7 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, showing a moderate level of commercial activity.
In comparison to Rest of Vic., Huntly registers 478.0% more development activity per capita, ensuring prospective buyers have plenty of options. This rate is far higher than the national average, showing strong builder confidence in the locality. Recent residential construction is made up of 99.0% detached houses and 1.0% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the low-density profile of the suburb which appeals to buyers looking for space. The area averages about 28 people for every dwelling approval, pointing to an expanding market. Demographic forecasts suggest Huntly will add 4,038 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Judging by ongoing building trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy this demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially allowing population growth to exceed current forecasts.

Epsom Village Shopping Centre Redevelopment
The $25 million redevelopment of Epsom Village has transformed the site into a modern community and wellness hub. The project involved the delivery of new retail and dining tenancies including Dan Murphy's, Carl's Jr, and Domino's, alongside a medical centre and health facilities. While the retail component is operational, the associated $3 million Howard Street and Midland Highway intersection upgrade, long deemed the state's most dangerous, secured definitive state funding in the 2026/2027 Victorian Budget to finalize safety signalisation and lane improvements.
Raywood Railway Station

Intersection upgrade at Howard Street and Midland Highway in Epsom, near Bendigo. The intersection was voted the most dangerous in regional Victoria in the 2024 RACV My Country Roads Survey, with both roads carrying approximately 10,000 vehicles daily. The Victorian Government has committed 600,000 AUD for scoping and design to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety near Epsom Primary School, provide safer turning movements, and increase capacity. Construction funding has not yet been confirmed; the 2026/27 state budget allocated a share of 73.4 million AUD for regional road projects including this intersection and the Calder Highway/Maiden Gully Road intersection, with a delivery timeline still to be set.
2,840 residents of Huntly are employed, from a labour force of 2,922. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 75.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Huntly has a skilled labor pool with strong representation in key service sectors, an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, and an estimated job growth rate of 7.5% over the past year, according to AreaSearch's aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 2,840 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.8% below the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%, and workforce participation significantly higher than normal (75.5% versus Regional Vic.'s 61.1%). Census data shows that a minor 13.2% of residents worked from home, although the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce shows a highly pronounced specialization in mining, with its employment share reaching 6.6 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is less prominent, employing 3.7% of workers compared to 7.5% across the region. At the time of the Census, there were 0.7 jobs for every resident, indicating a higher-than-average volume of local employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from wider statistical areas, employment grew by 7.5% and the labor force expanded by 7.6% over the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a minor rise of 0.2 percentage points in the unemployment rate. This stands in contrast to Regional Vic., where employment shrank by 0.1%, the labor force dropped by 0.3%, and unemployment decreased by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand in Huntly. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local employment profile to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto Huntly's current workforce structure suggests local employment could grow by 6.2% over five years and 13.2% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 — 711 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,585 at the 2021 Census → 5,211 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.
