Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Macedon has an estimated 2,113 residents, up from 2,073 at the 2021 Census — a change of 40 people, or 1.9%. Density is about 54 people per 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

Analyzing ABS updates for the region alongside fresh addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, Macedon's population is estimated to stand at approximately 2,113 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 40 people (1.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 2,073 residents. This adjustment is derived from an AreaSearch resident estimate of 2,111, calculated after evaluating the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 5 validated new addresses since the Census date. Such a population size results in a density of 54 persons per square kilometer, indicating plenty of space for each inhabitant.

Natural increase was the primary contributor to local growth, accounting for roughly 56.99999999999999% of total population additions in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 territories lacking this data, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 release are utilized, adjusted using weighted aggregations of population expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates across different age cohorts from these aggregations are also applied for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic developments, the area is expected to experience a substantial population rise within the top national quartile, adding 443 persons by 2041 according to combined SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 20.9% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Macedon

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals mapped from statistical divisions, Macedon has experienced almost no residential approvals in recent years, with a total estimated at 4 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 1 approvals have been logged. With an average of 6 people arriving in the area annually for every housing unit constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand runs well ahead of new additions, typically driving price appreciation and heightened competition among purchasers, while new residential projects average a value of $1,104,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the luxury market with high-end properties.

Compared to Greater Melbourne, building volumes in Macedon are dramatically lower. This restricted supply of new builds generally bolsters demand and prices for existing stock, even though building activity has quickened of late. This construction volume also sits below the national average, reflecting the established character of the area and indicating potential planning constraints. Furthermore, recent construction has consisted solely of detached homes, maintaining the low-density environment with a focus on standalone houses that appeal to buyers looking for space. The estimated ratio of 2122 people in the locality for each dwelling approval highlights this quiet, low-intensity development climate.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 1 application for Macedon, 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.

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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,073 at the 2021 Census → 2,113 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 (SAL21562). 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 Macedon 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 Macedon 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 Macedon 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 (Jul 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.
