Maiden Gully has an estimated 5,758 residents, up from 5,407 at the 2021 Census — a change of 351 people, or 6.5%. Growth has averaged 1.5% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 60.0% of that increase. That puts 144 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining ABS regional updates with post-Census address validations, the population of the suburb of Maiden Gully is assessed at approximately 5,758 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 351 people (6.5%) compared to the 5,407 people documented in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch established this 5,758 resident figure by reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 84 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a density of 143 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous personal space and scope for future expansion. Outperforming both the broader SA4 region and the SA3 area (4.4%), the suburb of Maiden Gully has emerged as a regional growth leader with its 6.5% increase since the 2021 census.
Interstate arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 60.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas migration. Projections developed by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. Where SA2 coverage is missing, AreaSearch utilizes 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections converted to SA2 boundaries via weighted population growth aggregation, also extending age-specific growth trajectories across 2032 to 2041. Long-range demographic modelling places the suburb of Maiden Gully in the highest quartile among non-metropolitan districts nationally, with aggregated SA2 figures projecting a 39.5% cumulative expansion of 2,272 persons through to 2041 over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
185 new dwellings have been approved in Maiden Gully over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 32, broadly in line with 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
ABS building approval statistics analyzed by AreaSearch at the statistical area level indicate that Maiden Gully records roughly 37 residential approvals per annum, accumulating to around 185 homes across the past 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 32 approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25 over the past 5 financial years, demographic growth averaged 3.1 new residents per year per completed home, creating an imbalance where demand outpaces newly constructed dwellings—a scenario typically driving intense buyer competition and upward pricing pressure. Residential builders are primarily targeting the upper tier, delivering projects with an average construction cost of $662,000.
Complementing this, $5.2 million in commercial approvals was registered during the current financial year, highlighting the suburb's overwhelmingly residential focus. Relative to Rest of Vic., per-capita residential construction in Maiden Gully reaches around 75%, ranking the locality within the 64th percentile across all assessed Australian areas. Detached single-family homes comprise the entire share of recent construction, preserving low-density streetscapes tailored for families prioritizing spacious living. A ratio of approximately 205 people per dwelling approval characterizes this expanding development corridor. Long-term forecasts based on the latest quarterly AreaSearch estimate project Maiden Gully will expand by 2,272 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes remain unchanged, residential deliveries could fall short of demographic expansion, amplifying market competition and reinforcing property values.

3,170 residents of Maiden Gully are employed, from a labour force of 3,205. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 70.5%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 4,571, about 79% 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
Statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch highlight a well-qualified local workforce with prominent representation in essential services, accompanied by an unemployment rate of only 1.1% and yearly employment expansion of 0.9%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 3,170, with joblessness sitting 2.6% lower than the 3.7% recorded in Regional Vic. Labour force engagement is exceptionally strong at 70.5%, well above the 61.1% seen across Regional Vic. Census findings show 15.6% working from home, reflecting conditions during the Covid-19 lockdown period. The primary employment sectors for local workers include health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Finance & insurance represents a notable area of local concentration, employing residents at 2.4 times the regional proportion. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.8% of the workforce compared to 7.5% regionally. Comparing resident workers against jobs located within the boundary indicates a reliance on surrounding employment hubs rather than local jobs. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM data over the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.9% alongside a 0.8% rise in the labour pool, maintaining steady unemployment levels. Across Regional Vic. over the same period, employment fell by 0.1%, the workforce shrank by 0.3%, and unemployment dropped 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 outline broader staffing trends. Nationally, job numbers are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector trajectories vary. Applying these industry growth rates to the Maiden Gully occupational profile indicates potential employment gains of 6.3% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this weighting extrapolation is purely illustrative and excludes local demographic projections).

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 — 84 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,407 at the 2021 Census → 5,758 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 (SAL21574). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
