Mansfield (Vic.) has an estimated 6,085 residents, up from 5,541 at the 2021 Census — a change of 544 people, or 9.8%. Growth has averaged 2.7% a year over five years. 196 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 65.0% of that increase. Density is about 23 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic releases for the surrounding region, combined with fresh address validations performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Mansfield (Vic.) has a population projected to be roughly 6,085 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 544 individuals (9.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 5,541 residents. This shift is calculated from a resident headcount of 6,083, which AreaSearch computed by analyzing the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 196 newly confirmed addresses added since the Census date. This population level yields a density of 22 persons per square kilometer, indicating a highly spacious environment.
The 9.8% expansion rate of Mansfield (Vic.) since the 2021 census outstripped both the 2.9% rate of the SA4 region and the Rest of Vic. average, positioning it as a local growth standout. The demographic expansion was heavily supported by interstate arrivals, who represented roughly 65.0% of the overall population growth during recent times. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 base year, have been adopted by AreaSearch. In instances where SA2 regions lacked these projections, AreaSearch utilized the 2023 Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government, adjusting them via weighted aggregation of population changes from LGA to SA2 divisions. The age cohort growth velocities derived from these aggregations are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, the methodology forecasts an overall contraction, with the resident count of the suburb of Mansfield (Vic.) expected to shrink by 349 persons by 2041. Despite this overall drop, expansion is anticipated within particular age brackets, most notably the 85 and over cohort, which is forecast to increase by 92 people. More details can be found in the age section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
256 new dwellings have been approved in Mansfield (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 51 a year. That places the area in the 86th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 56, 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
AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approval statistics, mapped from regional statistical datasets, indicates that Mansfield has maintained an annual average of about 51 residential approvals, resulting in a total of 256 new dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 52 approvals have been registered. Over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the ratio of new residents to newly built homes stood at 2.9 people per year, pointing to solid demand that is likely to bolster housing values. The average construction cost of these new homes is $637,000, which highlights that builders are focusing on the higher-end residential market.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $9.6 million so far this financial year, showing a moderate level of business development. Mansfield displays development rates per resident that closely match the Rest of Vic., suggesting a balanced property market that aligns with regional trends. Construction projects in recent times consist of 94.0% detached houses and 6.0% medium to high-density options, maintaining the low-density landscape and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The ratio of approximately 106 people per residential building approval aligns Mansfield with typical growth corridors. Given that demographic projections point to a stable or shrinking population size, Mansfield should experience easing pressures on housing demand, which represents an advantage for prospective purchasers.

2,897 residents of Mansfield (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 2,973. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 58.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,986, 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
The local workforce is highly skilled and distributed across various industries, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 2.6%, based on aggregated statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,897, with the unemployment rate tracking 1.1% below the Regional Vic. rate of 3.7%, while the labor participation rate of 58.7% falls slightly behind the Regional Vic. average of 61.1%. Data from the Census indicates that 14.4% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic-related restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are building and construction, retail sales, and healthcare services.
The accommodation and food services sector is particularly prominent, employing residents at 1.6 times the Regional Vic. average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is under-represented, employing 11.2% of the local workforce compared to 16.8% across Regional Vic. comparing the number of employed residents to the local working population suggests a scarcity of job opportunities within the immediate area. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data sources by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, the local labor pool contracted by 2.2% and the number of employed individuals dropped by 2.3%, which kept the unemployment rate stable. This differed from Regional Vic., where employment fell by 0.1%, the workforce shrank by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand in Mansfield. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth trends. On a national scale, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors exhibit varying growth rates. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry distribution suggests that employment within Mansfield would rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local population changes).

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 — 196 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,541 at the 2021 Census → 6,085 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.
