Sales Detail
McCrae has an estimated 3,267 residents, down from 3,311 at the 2021 Census — a change of 44 people, or 1.3%. That puts 762 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 post-Census validated address counts with broader ABS updates, the suburb of McCrae is estimated to have a population of approximately 3,267 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 3,311 people counted in the 2021 Census, this represents a drop of 44 people (1.3%). This trend is deduced from an estimated resident count of 3,252 calculated from the ABS ERP release (June 2025), alongside 27 new addresses confirmed since the Census. McCrae's population density stands at 761 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations.
Across the prior ten years, the suburb of McCrae recorded steady demographic momentum with a 1.3% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the wider SA3 area. Inbound overseas migration was the primary driver of expansion, generating roughly 68.0% of recent population additions. SA2-level demographic projections sourced from the ABS and Geoscience Australia (2024 release using a 2022 baseline) form the foundation of AreaSearch's forecasting. Where SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch integrates the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections via a weighted aggregation approach from LGA down to SA2 boundaries, applying age-cohort growth rates across all locations for the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these demographic models, the suburb of McCrae is projected to achieve population growth exceeding the median of areas assessed by AreaSearch, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an addition of 425 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 12.6% expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
138 new dwellings have been approved in McCrae over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That is 6.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 48% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that McCrae has averaged roughly 27 residential development permits annually, amounting to roughly 138 dwellings across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 8 residential approvals have been logged. With the population contracting recently, building activity has matched housing requirements well, fostering balanced market conditions with healthy selection for purchasers. The average construction cost of newly approved dwellings stands at $547,000, marginally exceeding regional benchmarks and pointing toward quality-oriented building standards. Meanwhile, commercial construction permits have reached $18.5 million this financial year, underscoring ongoing non-residential investment.
Per-capita construction volumes in McCrae have outpaced Greater Melbourne by 35.0% above the regional average over the 5 year timeframe, preserving buyer options and underpinning established real estate values, despite a recent deceleration in overall building. Medium-to-high density projects such as townhouses and apartments represent 52.0% of recent approvals, while freestanding houses make up 48.0%. This shift toward higher-density dwelling options creates attainable market entry points for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a distinct transition from McCrae's existing housing stock, which is 93.0% houses, reflecting tighter land availability and rising demand for diverse living options. An estimated ratio of 502 residents per dwelling approval highlights the modest, subdued pace of local development. Demographic projections indicate that McCrae is on track to add 410 residents through to 2041 based on the latest quarterly AreaSearch estimates. If current construction rates persist, the pipeline of new housing will easily absorb forecast demand, supporting favourable buyer conditions and providing headroom to accommodate growth above projected population levels.

1,424 residents of McCrae are employed, from a labour force of 1,520. Unemployment sits at 6.4%, with participation at 52.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,841, about 87% 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
AreaSearch analysis of aggregated statistical data reveals a skilled resident workforce in McCrae, anchored by strong representation in the building industry, an unemployment rate of 6.4%, and relatively consistent job numbers over the prior twelve months. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,424, while local unemployment sat 1.6% higher than the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, and labour force participation lagged behind at 52.2% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. Census records show 27.7% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
The leading employment sectors among McCrae residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. Construction shows notable local concentration, capturing an employment share 1.8 times the broader regional rate. In contrast, finance & insurance is underrepresented, employing only 1.0% of workers compared to the 4.9% regional benchmark. Comparing Census resident worker totals to local workplace counts suggests the area functions primarily as a residential community with modest local job opportunities. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM data across broader statistical boundaries indicates that for the year ending March 2026, local employment grew by 0.1% while the workforce contracted by 0.5%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage points drop in the unemployment rate. Conversely, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage points lift in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future labour demand in McCrae. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against McCrae's workforce profile indicates potential local job growth of 6.4% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, noting this calculation serves as an illustrative distribution model rather than a local demographic forecast.

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 — 27 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,311 at the 2021 Census → 3,267 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 (SAL21625). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
