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.

Sales Detail
Mambourin has an estimated 3,784 residents, up from 315 at the 2021 Census — a change of 3,469 people, or 1,101.3%. 1,489 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 75.0% of that increase. That puts 106 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
Based on reviews of ABS demographic updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Mambourin is calculated at approximately 3,784 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 3,469 people (1101.3%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted a population of 315 residents. The fluctuation is calculated from a resident population of 3,721, projected by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP data release (June 2025) and an additional 1,489 verified new addresses since the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 106 persons per square kilometer, which offers ample space per resident and potential room for additional development.
The 1101.3% growth of the suburb of Mambourin since the 2021 census was faster than the state (9.3%) and the national benchmark, establishing it as a local growth frontrunner. Expansion in the area was mostly spurred by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 75.0% of all population increases in recent times, though all indicators including natural growth and overseas migration were positive contributors. AreaSearch adopts projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 localities missing from this dataset, AreaSearch uses the Victorian State Government's Regional/LGA projections released in 2023, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Evaluating future population trends, exceptional growth, placing in the top 10 percent of national statistical areas, is forecast over the timeframe, with the area expected to expand by 7,001 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, showing an overall increase of 183.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
2,190 new dwellings have been approved in Mambourin over the past five years, an average of 438 a year. That places the area in the 94th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 116 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 403 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 317, 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 analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, Mambourin has averaged about 438 dwellings receiving development approval per year, resulting in an estimated 2,190 homes over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26291 approvals have been documented. With an average of 1.6 people per year moving to the area for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the market appears well balanced between supply and demand, fostering stable conditions, with new builds carrying an average construction cost of $375,000.
Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $47.2 million this financial year, showing strong commercial development momentum. In comparison to Greater Melbourne, Mambourin exhibits 5010.0% more construction activity (per person), presenting buyers with more alternatives, although development activity has moderated in recent periods. This level of activity is significantly above the national average, reflecting high developer confidence in the area. New projects consist of 91.0% detached houses and 9.0% medium and high-density housing, preserving the area's traditional low-density profile focused on family homes for those desiring space. The location records approximately 9 people per dwelling approval, showing a growing market. Population forecasts suggest Mambourin will add 6,932 residents through to 2041 (starting from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). With current building rates, housing supply should adequately satisfy demand, creating positive conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to exceed current forecasts.

3,083 residents of Mambourin are employed, from a labour force of 3,364. Unemployment sits at 8.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% 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 5,904, about 156% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Mambourin features a highly educated workforce, with strong representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of 8.4%, and 23.2% estimated employment growth over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,083 residents are employed, whereas the unemployment rate is 3.6% above Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, highlighting potential for improvement, and workforce participation is exceptionally high (113.3% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). Census responses indicate that a high 44.4% of residents worked from home, though COVID-19 lockdown influences should be taken into consideration.
Resident employment is concentrated in health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade. The area has a distinct specialization in health care & social assistance, with an employment share of 1.3 times the regional level. Conversely, accommodation & food has no representation at all versus the regional average of 6.4%. Sporting 2.0 workers for every resident at the Census, the area acts as an employment hub, hosting more jobs than residents and drawing workers from nearby areas. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 23.2% while the labour force expanded by 23.5%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. This contrasts with Greater Melbourne, where employment grew by 2.1%, the labour force grew by 2.3%, and unemployment rose 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Mambourin. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Mambourin's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 1,489 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (315 at the 2021 Census → 3,784 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 (SAL21588). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
