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.

Mooroopna has an estimated 8,391 residents, up from 8,312 at the 2021 Census — a change of 79 people, or 1.0%. 172 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 210 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch incorporating broader ABS updates alongside 172 validated new addresses post-Census place the population of the suburb of Mooroopna at approximately 8,391 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 79 people (1.0%) above the 8,312 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The revised total of 8,391 is established from the ABS June 2025 ERP release combined with post-Census address additions. With a population density of 209 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Mooroopna offers substantial physical space and capacity for future expansion. The suburb of Mooroopna achieved a 1.0% growth rate that sits within 0.1 percentage points of the wider SA4 region (1.1%), highlighting resilient demographic momentum.
International migration represented the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 93.0% of recent population gains. Projections for each SA2 area utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models baseline-set to 2022, while unlisted SA2 localities rely on the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections adjusted via LGA-to-SA2 weighted growth aggregation. These aggregations also inform age-specific growth distributions across all localities spanning 2032 to 2041. Over this 16-year horizon, long-term demographic modelling indicates the suburb of Mooroopna is positioned within the top 10 percent of Australian regional areas for growth, projected to expand by 3,735 persons (a 44.5% overall rise) by 2041 according to aggregated SA2 data.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
276 new dwellings have been approved in Mooroopna over the past five years, an average of 55 a year. That is 5.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 49 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 40, 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
Urban planning and building statistics compiled by AreaSearch from ABS records indicate the suburb averages roughly 55 residential approvals annually, delivering an estimated 276 approved dwellings across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, including 40 approvals recorded during FY-25 to date. Net population additions averaged only 0.2 people annually for each home constructed across the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, demonstrating that residential building activity is comfortably accommodating demand and generating surplus capacity for future expansion. New residential construction carries an expected construction cost averaging $393,000 per dwelling.
Furthermore, non-residential development remains steady, with commercial approvals securing $12.4 million during this financial year. Per capita residential building volumes in the area track 15.0% below the Rest of Vic. benchmark, placing it at the 60th percentile across the country. Planning activity heavily emphasizes low-density neighborhood character, with detached houses accounting for 94.0% of new residential approvals and medium-to-high density formats representing 6.0%, catering to demand for spacious detached family living. Overall construction volume equates to approximately 229 people per approval. Based on AreaSearch quarterly projections, the local population is set to expand by 3,735 residents by 2041. If the current pace of dwelling construction continues, future housing additions could lag population growth, which may heighten buyer competition and drive construction and property values higher.

3,691 residents of Mooroopna are employed, from a labour force of 3,931. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 56.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,328, 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
The local labour market presents an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, underpinned by strong industrial and manufacturing presence, an unemployment rate of 6.1%, and annual employment growth of 0.6% according to aggregated statistical area figures. As of March 2026, employed residents total 3,691, while the jobless rate exceeds Regional Vic.'s 3.7% by 2.4%. Workforce participation sits at 56.3%, trailing the 61.1% recorded across Regional Vic.. Census returns indicate that only 7.3% of workers operated from home, though figures may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Local workforce participation is primarily concentrated in health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade.
Industrial manufacturing represents a standout employer, engaging staff at 1.5 times the broader regional rate. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for just 4.4% of local employment, below the 6.5% regional benchmark. Comparing the resident workforce against Census local workplace counts suggests that locally based job opportunities remain relatively restricted. An examination of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that across the 12 months leading to March 2026, resident employment rose 0.6% while the total labor pool expanded by 3.4%, lifting the local unemployment rate by 2.6 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Regional Vic. observed a 0.1% contraction in employment, a 0.3% decrease in labor force participation, and a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. Looking forward, Jobs and Skills Australia national employment projections from Mar-26 provide context for local workforce trajectory. Nationally, employment is anticipated to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighted against the area's current industrial workforce distribution, local jobs are projected to grow by 5.9% over five years and 12.8% over ten years.

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 — 172 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,312 at the 2021 Census → 8,391 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 (SAL21756). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
