Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS data releases and post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Mount Duneed has an estimated population of approximately 11,353 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 5,171 people (83.6%) above the 2021 Census tally of 6,182 people. The figure builds on an estimated resident population base of 11,338 established from the ABS ERP release in June 2025 alongside 1,455 validated new addresses documented since the Census benchmark. The resulting population density stands at 217 persons per square kilometer, offering generous space per resident as well as scope for additional expansion.
With an 83.6% increase since the 2021 census, the suburb of Mount Duneed significantly outpaced both Rest of Vic. (4.4%) and the surrounding SA4 region, establishing itself as a premier regional growth corridor. Interstate migration served as the primary growth engine, generating around 68.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections applied by AreaSearch incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models baseline-set to 2022 across individual SA2 zones. Where local coverage is absent, figures utilize the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset, applying weighted population aggregation methods to transition from LGA down to SA2 geographic scales. These aggregated age-bracket growth trajectories are extended across all locations for the period covering 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic patterns, the suburb of Mount Duneed is anticipated to record top-decile non-metropolitan growth, expanding by 6,610 persons by 2041 under SA2-aggregated forecasts, which represents an overall gain of 58.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
2,040 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Duneed over the past five years, an average of 408 a year.

Detail
AreaSearch assessment of ABS residential construction data indicates that Mount Duneed secures roughly 408 home approvals each year, totaling an estimated 2,040 sanctioned residences over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 464 registered to date in FY-25. An influx averaging 3.2 new residents annually per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) highlights strong demand exceeding construction volumes, which generally drives upward pricing pressure and heightened buyer interest, while typical construction costs average $436,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, the recording of $61.8 million in local commercial building approvals during the ongoing financial year underscores robust commercial investment.
The breakdown of recent building approvals comprises 94.0% detached houses and 6.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving local low-density suburban appeal tailored to buyers prioritizing space. An average of approximately 24 people per dwelling approval reflects a rapidly expanding residential market. Long-term forecasts indicate that Mount Duneed will welcome 6,595 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Maintained at ongoing rates, new residential construction should amply accommodate projected demand, maintaining supportive market conditions for home purchasers and facilitating growth above standard forecast levels.

6,623 residents of Mount Duneed are employed, from a labour force of 6,745. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 77.2%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 13,377, about 118% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Mount Duneed possesses a highly qualified workforce, prominent representation across essential service sectors, an unemployment rate standing at only 1.8%, and a 7.6% rise in estimated employment over the preceding twelve months, according to AreaSearch statistical area datasets. By March 2026, employed residents reached 6,623, with local joblessness sitting 1.9% lower than the 3.7% recorded across Regional Vic., supported by an elevated labor force participation rate of 77.2% compared with 61.1% in Regional Vic.. Around 23.5% of working locals reported working from home at the Census, although pandemic containment measures during that period are a relevant factor.
Resident employment centers predominantly on health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. Local concentration in education & training is pronounced, showing a workforce proportion 1.4 times that of the wider region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for just 1.2% of the local workforce relative to 7.5% regionally. A balanced ratio of 1.0 workers per resident at the Census points to substantial local employment capacity. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM metrics over the year ending March 2026, local employment grew by 7.6% alongside a 7.5% increase in the labor pool, while the jobless rate held steady. By comparison, Regional Vic. registered a 0.1% contraction in employment and a 0.3% drop in labor force participation, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point decline. Five- and ten-year national projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment requirements for Mount Duneed when mapped to the existing local workforce profile. Across Australia, workforce expansion is projected at 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variation by sector. Weighting these sectoral forecasts to Mount Duneed's employment distribution indicates local jobs are projected to rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (calculated via basic weighted extrapolation for context without incorporating local population projections).

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 — 1,455 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,182 at the 2021 Census → 11,353 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 (SAL21790). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
