Lucas has an estimated 4,661 residents, up from 2,994 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,667 people, or 55.7%. Growth has averaged 12.8% a year over five years, faster than 98% of areas nationally. 676 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 74.0% of that increase. That puts 2,035 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 updates for the wider region and recent address validations by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Lucas has an estimated population of 4,661 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 1,667 people (55.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 2,994 people. The change is calculated from the resident population of 4,652, estimated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ERP release from the ABS alongside 676 validated new addresses since the Census. This population corresponds to a density of 2,035 persons per square kilometer, which is greater than the typical density across national locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 55.7% expansion in the suburb of Lucas since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of Vic. (4.3%) and the SA4 region, positioning it as a growth leader. Interstate migration was the main driver of population growth, accounting for approximately 74.0% of the total gains, though all factors including natural increase and overseas migration made positive contributions. AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, 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 in 2023 are used, with adjustments made through a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age group growth rates from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, the suburb of Lucas is projected to experience exceptional growth that ranks in the top 10 percent of non-metropolitan areas across the nation. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the population is anticipated to expand by 2,746 persons by 2041, representing a total growth of 58.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
740 new dwellings have been approved in Lucas over the past five years, an average of 148 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 32 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 63 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 99, well below 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 analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, Lucas averages roughly 148 new homes approved annually, representing an estimated total of 740 homes over the past 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 91 approvals have been recorded. Over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), there has been an average of 2.9 new residents per year for each dwelling, indicating steady demand that helps support property values. New homes are constructed at an average value of $497,000, which highlights developer activity in the premium segment with high-end properties.
Furthermore, commercial development approvals total $1.9 million this financial year, pointing to a heavily residential focus. In comparison to the Rest of Vic., Lucas exhibits 343.0% higher new home approvals (per person), offering buyers more options despite a recent slowdown in building activity. This rate is considerably higher than the national average, indicating strong developer confidence in the area. Additionally, recent construction has consisted entirely of standalone homes, preserving the suburban character of the area through detached housing that appeals to buyers seeking extra space. Showing around 124 people per dwelling approval, Lucas displays the characteristics of a growing area. Projections indicate that Lucas will gain 2,735 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. With current development rates, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable conditions for buyers and potentially encouraging growth beyond current population projections.

The MRF will sort commingled recyclables including plastics, paper, cardboard, metals, and glass for local reprocessing.It is expected to create 62 FTE jobs when operational.
2,424 residents of Lucas are employed, from a labour force of 2,474. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 69.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% 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. The working-day population is estimated at 3,648, 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
Lucas has a well-educated labor force with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, and an estimated employment growth of 4.2% over the last year, according to statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 2,424 employed residents, while the unemployment rate was 1.7% lower than the Regional Vic. rate of 3.7%. The workforce participation rate of 69.1% is also significantly higher than the Regional Vic. average of 61.1%. Census data indicates that a moderate 17.3% of residents worked from home, although this may have been influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. The area exhibits a notable concentration in health care & social assistance, where the share of employment is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.4% of employment compared to 7.5% across the region. The comparison between the Census working population and resident population suggests that this highly residential area offers limited local employment opportunities. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch, drawing on SALM and ABS figures aggregated from larger statistical regions, indicates that during the twelve months leading up to March 2026, job numbers grew by 4.2% and the labour force expanded by 4.7%, which resulted in the unemployment rate increasing by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Vic. experienced a 0.1% drop in employment and a 0.3% reduction in the labour force, leading to a 0.2 percentage point decrease in unemployment. Insights from Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts published in May-25 may help illuminate anticipated future demand within Lucas. These outlooks, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been overlaid with the local employment composition to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, expansion varies markedly across different sectors. When these sectoral estimates are applied to Lucas's job mix, local employment is expected to grow by 7.0% over five years and 14.5% over ten years, though this figure represents a basic weighting exercise for demonstration only and ignores localized population assumptions.

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 — 676 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,994 at the 2021 Census → 4,661 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.
