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
Marshall has an estimated 2,188 residents, down from 2,299 at the 2021 Census — a change of 111 people, or 4.8%. That puts 1,073 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Marshall has an estimated population of roughly 2,188, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS population adjustments and newly confirmed post-Census addresses. This represents a contraction of 111 people (4.8%) compared to the 2,299 people recorded at the 2021 Census. The updated count stems from an ERP figure of 2,178 assessed by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS June 2025 data release, alongside 41 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 1,072 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch.
Across the prior ten-year span, the suburb of Marshall exhibited solid momentum with a 2.1% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the wider SA3 area. Interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 83.0% of recent population additions, while natural increase and overseas arrivals also provided positive contributions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) for each SA2. Where specific SA2 data is unavailable, VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2023 are applied via a weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 tiers, with age-cohort growth rates applied across all areas between 2032 and 2041. Based on these aggregated SA2 demographic projections, the suburb of Marshall is anticipated to experience exceptional expansion that ranks within the top 10 percent of regional non-metropolitan locations across the country, expanding by 950 persons to 2041, which equates to a 43.0% cumulative rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in Marshall over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 3.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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's review of ABS building approvals mapped from statistical regions, Marshall records approximately 9 residential approvals annually, totaling roughly 47 approved dwellings across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 6 logged during FY-25 to date. With population contracting over recent years, new residential building has likely maintained adequate supply relative to demand, providing ample selection for purchasers, with newly constructed homes averaging an expected construction cost of $358,000, in line with regional figures. Additionally, $826,000 worth of commercial approvals were recorded during the current financial year, highlighting a subdued level of commercial development.
Residential building activity in Marshall remains substantially subdued compared to Rest of Vic., tracking 63.0% below the regional per-capita rate. This limited delivery of new housing stock generally underpins pricing and buyer competition for existing residences. Furthermore, all recent residential development has consisted exclusively of standalone houses, preserving the neighbourhood's traditional suburban environment and appealing to families prioritizing generous allotments. Local developers are prioritizing standalone dwellings at a higher rate than the baseline housing composition (70.0% at Census), demonstrating enduring buyer appetite for detached homes, with approximately 366 people per dwelling approval reflecting an established, mature market. Demographic projections indicate that Marshall is on track to add 940 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction volumes persist without accelerating, dwelling delivery could lag behind population expansion, thereby intensifying buyer demand and fostering accelerated property value appreciation.

755 residents of Marshall are employed, from a labour force of 794. Unemployment sits at 4.9%, with participation at 45.1%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 1,874, about 86% 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
Marshall features a qualified local labour pool with significant employment across essential service industries and a 4.9% unemployment rate, based on aggregated statistical area metrics from AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 755, with the jobless rate tracking 1.2% higher than the 3.7% recorded across Regional Vic., alongside a notably lower labour force participation rate of 45.1% compared to 61.1% regionally. In addition, 16.6% of working locals reported working from home at the Census, although prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time should be taken into account. Local workforce participation is primarily centered across health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Health care & social assistance represents a key industry of concentration locally, commanding an employment proportion 1.3 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.4% of the local workforce relative to the regional proportion of 7.5%. Based on Census comparisons between resident workers and local jobs, the area offers a relatively small pool of workplace positions within its own boundaries. AreaSearch's evaluation of combined ABS and SALM metrics indicates that over the 12-month period, the local labour force contracted by 15.9% while total employment dropped by 15.8%, leaving unemployment practically steady. Over the same timeframe, Regional Vic. recorded an employment decline of 0.1% alongside a 0.3% decrease in its labour pool, representing a 0.2 percentage point drop. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from Mar-26 offer guidance on prospective workforce demand trends. Across the country, employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-specific trajectories vary substantially. When modeled against Marshall's workforce distribution, these forecasts indicate potential local job growth of 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (calculated as a baseline weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes without factoring in 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 — 41 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,299 at the 2021 Census → 2,188 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 (SAL21615). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
