Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

Detail

According to evaluations of ABS demographics for the surrounding territory, alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Lynbrook has an estimated residency of 10,637 individuals as of May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 1,516 people (16.6%) from the 2021 Census, when the count stood at 9,121 people. The shift is calculated from the estimated population of 10,637, determined by AreaSearch through analysing the latest ERP statistics from the ABS (June 2025) and incorporating 91 validated new addresses since the Census date. This size of population represents a density of 2,613 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Lynbrook in the top quarter of Australian regions evaluated by AreaSearch.

The growth rate of 16.6% recorded since the 2021 census outperformed the state average of 9.3% and the national standard, identifying the suburb of Lynbrook as a leading expansion area in the district. This demographic upward trend was heavily influenced by net migration from overseas, which accounted for approximately 65.0% of total population increases recently. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 sectors are being implemented by AreaSearch, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For sectors where these figures are unavailable, AreaSearch incorporates the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA forecasts published in 2023, modifying them via a weighted aggregation of population changes moving from LGA to SA2 levels. Estimated age group growth dynamics from these calculations are additionally applied across all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Lynbrook is predicted to experience a major rise in residency that ranks in the highest national quartile, with an projected increase of 3,468 persons up to 2041 using consolidated SA2-level data, which represents a total increase of 32.6% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Lynbrook

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

302 new dwellings have been approved in Lynbrook over the past five years, an average of 60 a year. That places the area in the 75th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 80% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 16, 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

According to AreaSearch's review of ABS building approvals allocated from local data, the area averages about 60 approved dwellings annually, representing an estimated total of 302 homes over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 15 approvals have been registered. Given that an average of 4.3 new occupants per built dwelling arrived annually over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new completions falls far short of demand, typically escalating buyer rivalry and applying upward pressure on prices, while new homes are built with an average valuation of $639,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing the upmarket segment.

Additionally, $65,000 in commercial approvals have been logged during this financial year, highlighting the area's primary residential focus. Compared with Greater Melbourne, construction activity in the area is notably low, running at 57.0% below regional average per person. This restricted volume of new builds generally underpins demand and supports pricing for existing homes. Recent building approvals show a mix of 80.0% detached dwellings and 20.0% attached dwellings, maintaining a suburban landscape characterized by family residences configured for buyers wanting extra room. There are approximately 339 residents for each dwelling approval, suggesting capacity for expansion. Demographic projections indicate the area will add 3,468 inhabitants by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Residential construction is tracking in line with these population projections, though purchasing groups may face heightened competition as residency numbers climb.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 9 applications for Lynbrook, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Lynbrook

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

5,566 residents of Lynbrook are employed, from a labour force of 5,839. 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 8,976, 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

The local area has a highly qualified labor force, featuring a strong concentration in industrial and manufacturing jobs, an unemployment rate of 4.7%, and an annual employment growth rate of 4.0% according to AreaSearch estimations compiled from local statistical data. As of March 2026, there are 5,566 working residents, with the unemployment rate closely matching Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, and the participation rate aligning closely with the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census records show a moderate 19.4% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects historical Covid-19 restrictions.

The primary employment fields for working locals are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The manufacturing sector is particularly prominent, employing residents at 1.8 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, making up only 6.2% of the local workforce compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. This residential neighborhood provides relatively few local jobs, as shown by comparing the count of active workers against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from surrounding regions, employment expanded by 4.0% while the labor force grew by 4.8% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate of 0.7 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne recorded employment expansion of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide context for future labor needs in the area. These predictions, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been modeled against the local workforce structure to calculate growth trajectories. While national employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change varies widely by sector. Applying these sectoral trends to the local employment distribution suggests job numbers should grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, noting this is a weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 91 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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 (SAL21554). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Lynbrook suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Lynbrook page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Lynbrook data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
