Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Macleod (Vic.) has an estimated count of approximately 10,674 residents, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates with new addresses validated post-Census. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 9,892 people, this represents an expansion of 782 people (7.9%). The updated figure draws upon an estimated resident population of 10,659 from the June 2025 ABS ERP release alongside 85 validated new addresses added following the Census date. With a density of 2,351 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the upper quartile across nationwide areas reviewed by AreaSearch.
The post-Census increase of 7.9% in the suburb of Macleod (Vic.) closely tracks the state level of 9.5% (trailing by 1.6 percentage points), highlighting solid demographic momentum. Recent population expansion has been overwhelmingly propelled by overseas migration, which made up around 93.0% of total gains. Projections for the suburb of Macleod (Vic.) incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2-level series using 2022 as its baseline. Where SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch uses the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, applying a weighted aggregation methodology from LGA to SA2 geographies, with age-group growth rates applied across all locations for 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic models, the suburb of Macleod (Vic.) is projected to experience top 10 percent growth relative to statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch. Aggregated SA2-level figures anticipate an addition of 4,691 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 43.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
146 new dwellings have been approved in Macleod (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 46% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 51, running ahead of 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Macleod has averaged approximately 29 dwellings receiving development approval each year, accumulating to an estimated 146 homes throughout the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 51 approvals have been documented. The average expected construction cost for new homes stands at $704,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on upmarket, premium properties supported by solid demand of 2.5 new residents per year per dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25. Meanwhile, commercial approvals have reached $8.8 million in the current financial year, reinforcing the district's predominantly residential character.
Recent residential building activity comprises 46.0% detached dwellings alongside 54.0% attached dwellings. This orientation toward denser housing options provides accessible price points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It marks a clear structural shift away from the established stock (presently 77.0% houses), driven by site constraints and evolving buyer preferences. With an approval intensity of roughly 271 people per approval, Macleod demonstrates the characteristics of an evolving housing market. According to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Macleod is anticipated to expand by 4,676 residents by 2041. Should current rates of building activity persist, residential supply could struggle to match expanding demand, potentially intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing property values.

6,089 residents of Macleod (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 6,195. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 68.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,755, about 82% 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
Data aggregated by AreaSearch reveals that Macleod possesses an educated workforce with solid professional services representation, an unemployment rate sitting at merely 1.7%, and an annual employment increase of 3.2%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,089. The local jobless rate is 3.1% below the 4.8% recorded for Greater Melbourne, while labour force participation aligns closely with the metropolitan benchmark of 70.1%. At the Census, 42.1% of workers reported working from home, a metric subject to the effects of Covid-19 restrictions. Employment among local residents is concentrated within health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
In particular, education & training shows pronounced local concentration, accounting for 1.3 times the regional share. Conversely, manufacturing comprises only 5.0% of the local workforce, lagging behind Greater Melbourne's 7.2%. The ratio of local workers to resident workers indicates that this largely residential enclave provides relatively few jobs internally. Examining SALM and ABS figures for the year ending March 2026, Macleod recorded a 3.2% rise in employment alongside a 3.4% expansion in the labour pool, which pushed unemployment up by 0.2 percentage points. Across Greater Melbourne over the identical timeframe, employment increased 2.1%, the labour force grew 2.3%, and joblessness rose 0.2 percentage points. Future workforce requirements can be assessed using national employment forecasts from Mar-26 published by Jobs and Skills Australia. Across Australia, workforce growth is projected at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Weighting these projections against Macleod's existing industry distribution indicates potential local job expansion of 7.1% over five years and 14.4% over ten years (a basic proportional model intended for illustration that omits local demographic shifts).

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 — 85 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,892 at the 2021 Census → 10,674 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 (SAL21564). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
