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
Mount Pleasant (Vic.) has an estimated 2,198 residents, down from 2,225 at the 2021 Census — a change of 27 people, or 1.2%. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 96% of areas nationally. That puts 1,083 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 the latest calculations from AreaSearch, which combine ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region with fresh address validations, the resident count for the suburb of Mount Pleasant (Vic.) stands at approximately 2,198 as of May 2026. This represents a minor reduction of 27 people (1.2%) from the 2021 Census baseline of 2,225 people. AreaSearch established this figure by adjusting the mid-2025 ABS estimated resident population of 2,195 with 31 validated new addresses registered since the census. This population density translates to 1,082 persons per square kilometer, a concentration that matches typical benchmarks observed by AreaSearch across comparable locations.
The area's population gains during recent timeframes were overwhelmingly fueled by international migration, which accounted for roughly 81.0% of the growth. For demographic forecasting, AreaSearch uses SA2-level projections from Geoscience Australia and the ABS published in 2024 (using 2022 as the starting point). In areas where this dataset is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 Victorian State Government LGA models, scaled down to the SA2 level via weighted growth distribution. The age cohort growth projections derived from these models are also applied to the decade spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these aggregated SA2 projections, the suburb of Mount Pleasant (Vic.) fits into the highest growth quartile for regional Australian locations, with an anticipated increase of 719 persons leading up to 2041, representing a 32.6% total expansion over 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
46 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Pleasant (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 4.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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
An evaluation of building approvals allocated by AreaSearch indicates that Mount Pleasant averages approximately 9 new residential approvals annually. This includes 46 home approvals spanning the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 4 approvals during the current FY-26 period. Given the recent population decline, this volume of construction represents a relatively balanced supply situation that favors buyers, with the average expected construction cost for these new dwellings sits at $356,000. Non-residential activity is minimal, with commercial approvals totaling only $12,000 for this financial year, confirming the suburb's focus on housing.
In comparison to the rest of regional Victoria, residential construction in Mount Pleasant is exceptionally low, tracking at 66.0% below the per-capita regional average. Such a limited supply of new dwellings generally supports demand and helps maintain values for the existing housing stock. Current construction activity consists of 60.0% standalone houses and 40.0% attached dwellings or units, signaling a shift toward higher-density options that cater to diverse budgets, ranging from family residences to affordable, smaller alternatives. This represents a distinct departure from the historical housing profile, where houses make up 84.0% of the stock, driven by a shortage of vacant parcels and changing buyer preferences. The suburb presently averages roughly 1100 people for each approved dwelling, pointing to a highly consolidated market. Demographic projections indicate that Mount Pleasant is set to add 716 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should building rates fail to accelerate, the housing supply will lag behind this population influx, potentially intensifying buyer competition and driving upward pressure on property values.

1,140 residents of Mount Pleasant (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 1,217. Unemployment sits at 6.3%, with participation at 64.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,670, about 76% 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
Mount Pleasant supports a qualified workforce with a high concentration of workers in key public services, showing an unemployment rate of 6.3% based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,140, while the local unemployment rate exceeded the Regional Vic. benchmark of 3.7% by 2.6%. The labor force participation rate is solid, sitting at 64.8% compared to the regional average of 61.1%. Data from the Census indicates that 19.3% of workers worked from home, though these figures were likely influenced by pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and accommodation & food services.
The suburb displays a strong specialization in accommodation & food services, employing a share of the workforce that is 1.6 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, the agricultural, forestry & fishing sectors employ only 0.9% of local workers, well below the 7.5% average for Regional Vic. The comparison between the locally employed census population and total residents indicates that the suburb is mostly residential and offers limited employment within its own borders. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS figures, the labor force in the area contracted by 0.7% over the 12-month period, while total employment fell by 2.2%, resulting in a 1.4 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. This trend diverged from Regional Vic., where employment fell by 0.1%, the labor force dropped by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points. To assess long-term trends, national occupational forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 were applied to the local workforce structure. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of expansion vary by industry. Extrapolating these national industry trends to the local employment mix suggests a 6.5% increase in local employment over five years and a 13.7% increase over ten years, assuming local population trends are not factored in.

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 — 31 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,225 at the 2021 Census → 2,198 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.
