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
Mornington (Vic.) has an estimated 25,996 residents, up from 25,759 at the 2021 Census. 141 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,233 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
Analysis of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census estimates that the suburb of Mornington (Vic.) has a population of approximately 25,996 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 237 people (0.9%) from the 25,759 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is based on a resident population of 25,982 estimated by AreaSearch after examining the June 2025 ABS ERP release, along with 141 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The resulting population density is 1,232 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical average across the national locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The post-census growth rate of 0.9% in the suburb of Mornington (Vic.) is within 1.1 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (2.0%), showing competitive expansion dynamics. Recent population gains were almost entirely fueled by overseas migration, which served as the primary contributor to demographic growth. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for SA2 areas. For SA2 areas lacking this coverage, figures are derived from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates segmented by age from these calculations are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic expectations suggest that the suburb of Mornington (Vic.) will experience population growth above the national median, with aggregated SA2 projections indicating an increase of 3,309 persons by 2041, representing a total gain of 12.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
480 new dwellings have been approved in Mornington (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 96 a year. That is 3.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 96 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 48% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 66, 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
AreaSearch's analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area statistics indicates that Mornington averages approximately 96 approved dwellings annually. This equates to an estimated 480 homes approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with an additional 61 approvals recorded during FY-26. Even with a falling population in recent years, developers appear to have met local demand, maintaining options for buyers while focusing on upmarket builds with an average construction cost of $721,000. Additionally, commercial approvals reached $17.6 million this financial year, demonstrating ongoing business investment. Per capita building approvals in Mornington run at approximately three-quarters of the level observed in Greater Melbourne, placing it in the 51st percentile of all areas evaluated across the nation.
The composition of new approvals is split between 48.0% detached houses and 52.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on higher-density options provides lower-priced entry points suitable for buyers entering the market for the first time, downsizers, and property investors. This represents a major shift from the established housing stock, which currently stands at 77.0% houses, reflecting a scarcity of development sites alongside changing affordability and lifestyle preferences. With roughly 323 people for every dwelling approval, the locality displays low-density trends. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, the population of Mornington is projected to grow by 3,295 residents up to 2041. While construction activity is proceeding at a steady pace relative to this expected growth, home buyers may face increased competition as the number of residents rises.

12,186 residents of Mornington (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 12,594. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 55.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Data compiled by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries reveals a skilled local workforce with solid representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of just 3.2%, and an estimated annual job growth rate of 0.7%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 12,186, while the local unemployment rate was 1.5% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. However, workforce participation is considerably lower at 55.7%, compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne. Census records show that a high proportion of residents (26.1%) worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of pandemic restrictions.
The major employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The local workforce is heavily concentrated in construction, representing 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, making up 6.7% of local employment compared to 10.1% across the region. Although local employment is available, the ratio of working residents to local positions suggests that many commute out of the area for employment. Based on AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, the past 12 months saw local employment rise by 0.7% and the labour force grow by 0.5%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on future employment trends in Mornington. These projections for five and ten years have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future growth. While national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the local industry mix suggests employment could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry distribution rather than local population forecasts.

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 — 141 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (25,759 at the 2021 Census → 25,996 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 (SAL21763). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
