Detail
According to analysis of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region, combined with new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Irymple (Vic.) has an estimated population of approximately 6,398 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 421 people (7.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 5,977 people. The shift is calculated from a resident population of 6,394, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP statistics from the ABS (June 2025) along with 113 validated new addresses registered after the Census date.
This population level translates to a density of 99 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial room per resident and capacity for future expansion. The 7.0% population growth in the suburb of Irymple (Vic.) since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (-1.0%), as well as the SA3 area, positioning it as a leading growth locality in the region. Natural increase was the primary contributor to population growth in the area, accounting for roughly 41.0% of the total population gains in recent times, though all components including interstate and overseas migration remained positive contributors. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, projections from the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA releases from 2023 are utilized, adjusted via a weighted aggregation methodology of population changes from the LGA level down to the SA2 level. Growth dynamics by age category derived from these aggregations are also applied across all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Factoring in these anticipated demographic transitions, a major population expansion within the highest quartile of national non-metropolitan zones is anticipated, with the area projected to add 1,469 persons by 2041 under these aggregated SA2-level forecasts, representing an overall increase of 22.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
287 new dwellings have been approved in Irymple (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 57 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, Irymple typically sees about 57 dwellings approved for construction annually, with a total of 287 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 62 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. With an average of 1.9 new residents per year arriving for each completed home during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the balance between supply and demand is closely aligned, supporting steady market conditions, while newly built properties carry an average estimated construction cost of $504,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing the premium sector with higher-end builds.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $9.7 million have been logged in the current financial year, demonstrating consistent commercial investment. In comparison to the Rest of Vic., Irymple exhibits 85.0% higher development activity per capita, providing purchasers with a broader selection. Furthermore, recent residential builds have consisted entirely of detached dwellings, maintaining the low-density profile of the locality with a clear preference for standalone houses that appeal to buyers seeking space. Recording approximately 118 people for each building approval, Irymple displays the characteristics of a growing location. Projecting forward, Irymple is anticipated to add 1,465 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Current rates of construction seem to match future requirements, which should preserve stable market conditions without driving major pressure on prices.

3,555 residents of Irymple (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 3,594. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 67.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,460, about 85% 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
Irymple features a balanced workforce distributed across office-based and manual occupations, supported by a diverse mix of industries, and an unemployment rate of only 1.1%, according to AreaSearch's aggregation of local statistical data. As of March 2026, 3,555 residents are employed, which places the local unemployment rate 2.6% below the Regional Vic. rate of 3.7%, while the labor participation rate is significantly elevated (67.5% compared to Regional Vic.'s 61.1%). Census records show that a low proportion of 11.0% of the workforce operated from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The resident workforce is predominantly employed in healthcare & social assistance, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and construction. The community displays a particularly strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with employment density reaching 1.6 times the regional average. In contrast, healthcare & social assistance is underrepresented locally at 12.7% compared to the regional average of 16.8%. The locality appears to provide a constrained volume of local jobs, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident workforce. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the surrounding statistical areas, the local labor force contracted by 2.8% during the twelve months ending March 2026, while employment levels fell by 2.0%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.8 percentage points. This contrasts with Regional Vic., where employment fell by 0.1%, the labor force shrank by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate dropped by 0.2 percentage points. National occupational forecasts issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context regarding future employment trends in Irymple. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth trajectories vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry-specific trends to the employment profile of Irymple indicates that local job numbers should grow by 5.8% over five years and 12.3% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not account for 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 — 113 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,977 at the 2021 Census → 6,398 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.
