Lynbrook has an estimated 10,637 residents, up from 9,121 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,516 people, or 16.6%. Growth has averaged 2.6% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 65.0% of that increase. That puts 2,614 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Lynbrook has an estimated population of approximately 10,637 residents, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS demographic updates alongside address validations post-Census. Comparing this against the 2021 Census tally of 9,121 people, the locality has expanded by 1,516 people, or 16.6%. This updated figure of 10,637 residents is derived from AreaSearch's review of the ABS June 2025 ERP release and 91 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. Consequently, the suburb of Lynbrook exhibits a density of 2,613 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile of Australian regions reviewed by AreaSearch.
Surpassing the 9.5% statewide increase as well as nationwide figures, the suburb of Lynbrook's 16.6% rise establishes it as a notable regional growth pocket. This demographic expansion has been predominantly propelled by overseas migration, which generated roughly 65.0% of recent overall population additions. Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections using 2022 as their starting baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections are integrated via a weighted aggregation methodology translating LGA trends to the SA2 level. Age-specific growth metrics from these aggregations are additionally utilized across all districts for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, long-term projections place the suburb of Lynbrook in the upper quartile across national statistical divisions, with aggregated SA2 estimates anticipating an influx of 3,410 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 32.1% expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
277 new dwellings have been approved in Lynbrook over the past five years, an average of 55 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 49 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 80% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval records mapped across statistical boundaries show that Lynbrook has averaged approximately 55 dwelling approvals per year, amounting to 277 residences across the previous 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 17 approvals have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 6.2 people entered the suburb annually for every residential unit constructed, demonstrating a notable lag in new building supply relative to incoming demand that typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on real estate pricing. At the same time, new homes carry an average estimated construction cost of $731,000, illustrating an emphasis by builders on upscale, premium residences.
Commercial planning approvals have totalled $65,000 during this financial year, reflecting subdued commercial construction. Per-capita construction volumes in Lynbrook sit 68.0% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark, highlighting a considerably lower rate of residential building. This restricted inflow of additional supply tends to bolster buyer interest and underpin price stability for existing residences. Regarding built form, 80.0% of approved dwellings are standalone houses and 20.0% are townhouses or apartments, preserving the traditional low-density character of the neighborhood and catering to buyers seeking suburban space. An established residential environment is further evidenced by a ratio of roughly 478 people per approved dwelling. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Lynbrook is anticipated to add 3,410 residents by 2041. Should current construction tempos persist, the volume of emerging housing may struggle to keep pace with demographic expansion, potentially intensifying purchasing competition and bolstering values.

Lyndhurst Secondary College Upgrade
Major upgrade and modernisation of Lyndhurst Secondary College including a rebuilt Block A with a double gym, food technology facilities, music and drama spaces, a 300-plus seat auditorium, canteen and new classrooms, together with internal refurbishment of Block E. Construction is underway with forecast completion in Q1 2028.
5,576 residents of Lynbrook are employed, from a labour force of 5,848. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 68.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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 8,972, about 84% 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
Lynbrook possesses an educated workforce with considerable concentration in industrial and manufacturing operations, exhibiting an unemployment rate of 4.7% alongside a 4.1% annual expansion in employment based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents reached 5,576 individuals, whilst the local jobless rate sat 0.1% beneath the Greater Melbourne figure of 4.8%, and overall labor participation aligned closely with the 70.1% metropolitan benchmark. Census findings revealed that 19.4% of workers operated from home, though this metric was subject to prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors among local workers are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade.
Industrial manufacturing represents a distinct local specialisation, engaging a workforce share 1.8 times the broader metropolitan standard. In contrast, the professional & technical sector accounts for a relatively modest 6.2% of employed locals compared to 10.1% across the region. Given the difference between resident worker tallies and localized job positions at the Census, the suburb functions predominantly as a residential community with modest internal commercial employment. Synthesised ABS and SALM figures over the recent 12-month timeframe show a 4.1% rise in employed residents accompanied by a 4.9% increase in the total workforce, driving a 0.7 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% gain in employment, a 2.3% expansion in the labour pool, and a 0.2 percentage point lift in joblessness. Looking forward, national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide indicative future labor trends for Lynbrook. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by discipline. Applying these sector-by-sector trajectories against Lynbrook's current industry composition indicates localized employment gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized population changes.

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 — 91 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,121 at the 2021 Census → 10,637 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 Aug 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 (SAL21554). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
