Sales Detail
Mount Evelyn has an estimated 10,062 residents, up from 9,799 at the 2021 Census — a change of 263 people, or 2.7%. That puts 594 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 Mount Evelyn has an estimated resident count of around 10,062, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside validated post-Census address additions. This indicates an expansion of 263 people (2.7%) from the 9,799 people tallied in the 2021 Census. Underlying this projection is an AreaSearch estimate of 10,043 residents derived from the ABS ERP figures of June 2025, combined with 33 validated new addresses recorded after the Census benchmark. The resulting population density stands at 594 persons per square kilometer, offering generous residential space and capacity for prospective development.
With a 2.7% increase since the census, the suburb of Mount Evelyn trails the surrounding SA3 area (3.6%) by only 0.9 percentage points, highlighting solid local momentum. The primary engine of this upward trend has been natural increase, which generated approximately 65.0% of recent population gains. Population projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS and Geoscience Australia modelling published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch applies the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, converting LGA metrics down to SA2 boundaries via weighted aggregation. Age-specific growth rates generated by these models are extended across every region from 2032 to 2041. In light of these anticipated demographic adjustments, the suburb of Mount Evelyn is projected to record lower quartile expansion among Australian statistical areas, adding 278 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level forecasts to achieve a total increase of 2.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
69 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Evelyn over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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 across statistical geographies indicates that Mount Evelyn registers approximately 13 approved residential dwellings each year, generating an estimated total of 69 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 5 approvals have been documented. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 1.5 incoming residents per approved home pointed to a well-balanced dynamic between supply and demand, fostering market stability; however, this ratio has tightened to 7.3 people per dwelling across the last 2 financial years, signaling heightened interest and possible dwelling shortfalls.
Approved residences reflect an average construction value of $441,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $7.9 million during the current financial year, underscoring the area's predominantly residential character. Dwelling construction in Mount Evelyn remains subdued compared to Greater Melbourne, trailing the regional per-capita rate by 65.0%. This constrained construction volume tends to bolster buyer interest and property values within the existing housing stock. Building rates are similarly below national levels, reflecting a mature market environment with potential zoning or land boundaries. Among recent approvals, detached houses represent 58.0% and attached structures account for 42.0%, expanding medium-density housing choices across varied price points from standalone family properties to compact, accessible living. This shift contrasts with the established urban fabric (currently 98.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of vacant land while accommodating shifting household preferences and affordability considerations. A high ratio of approximately 1338 people per approved dwelling illustrates the area's quiet development profile. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release, Mount Evelyn is forecasted to increase by 259 residents by 2041. Ongoing construction volumes indicate that new residential supply is positioned to adequately satisfy demand, supporting prospective buyers while offering potential to surpass current growth targets.

Hereford Road Childcare Centre and Development Site
A planning permit for a 104-place childcare centre on a 5014 sqm site at 19-23 Hereford Road, Mount Evelyn was approved by VCAT on 4 December 2024, following a Council refusal that was overturned on appeal. The application, lodged by Planning Property Partners, originally also proposed a 24/7 McDonald's restaurant on the site, but the fast-food component was refused by Council and the refusal was upheld by VCAT. The childcare centre occupies about 43 percent of the supersite, which retains a development scheme allowing for an additional quick-service restaurant / fast-food outlet subject to further approval.The property was the site of Pro Futsal Mt Evelyn, a sports complex and physiotherapy clinic, held on a lease expiring 31 December 2025. The site was taken to market via Expressions of Interest closing 2 July 2025 through Burgess Rawson and Teska Carson, and has since sold; the purchaser has not been publicly disclosed. No construction start date has been confirmed.

5,598 residents of Mount Evelyn are employed, from a labour force of 5,830. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 72.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,333, about 83% 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
Workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries reveals a skilled local labor pool in Mount Evelyn, led by substantial representation in the construction sector, a low unemployment rate of 4.0%, and an annual employment increase estimated at 0.8%. Employed residents numbered 5,598 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate was 0.8% lower than Greater Melbourne's 4.8%, accompanied by a participation rate of 72.9% against Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. Census responses indicated that 24.2% of the workforce worked remotely, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Resident employment centers primarily around construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The construction industry exhibits exceptional local concentration, with its workforce share standing at 2.0 times the broader metropolitan rate. Conversely, professional & technical occupations account for only 5.7% of local employment, well below the 10.1% recorded for Greater Melbourne. The disparity between local resident counts and Census workplace numbers reflects a suburban area with limited internal job opportunities. An examination of ABS and SALM statistical area data shows that Mount Evelyn recorded a 0.8% rise in employment alongside a 1.9% increase in the labor force over the 12-month timeframe, leading to a 1.0 percentage points increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Melbourne saw employment expand by 2.1%, the labor pool grow by 2.3%, and joblessness rise by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking insights from Jobs and Skills Australia's national projections published in Mar-26 help project future workforce demand. These national forecasts anticipate overall job expansion of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though trajectories diverge by sector. Weighting these projections against Mount Evelyn's current industry composition indicates local employment growth of 6.3% across five years and 13.0% across ten years (modeled as an illustrative sector extrapolation without incorporating 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 — 33 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,799 at the 2021 Census → 10,062 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.
