Detail
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Mount Waverley is estimated at approximately 38,260, according to AreaSearch analysis of ABS regional population updates and new addresses validated since the Census. This represents an expansion of 2,920 people (8.3%) from the 35,340 people recorded in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch determined this shift from a resident population figure of 38,151 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP release, alongside 417 validated new addresses identified since the Census date. With 2,520 persons per square kilometer, the density places the suburb of Mount Waverley in the upper quartile among nationally evaluated areas by AreaSearch.
The 8.3% expansion since census trails the state figure (9.5%) by 1.2 percentage points, highlighting solid local growth fundamentals. Net overseas migration served as the primary driver of demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 98.0% of recent population gains. Projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 with a 2022 base year for each SA2 area. Where SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch applies 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA figures, adjusting them via weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 tiers, and applying age group growth rates across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Long-term demographic forecasts position the suburb of Mount Waverley in the top quartile of statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch, projecting an increase of 8,356 persons by 2041 from aggregated SA2-level figures, which represents an overall rise of 21.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,160 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Waverley over the past five years, an average of 232 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 252 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 56% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 268, broadly in line with 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
ABS building approval figures examined by AreaSearch indicate an annual approval rate of roughly 232 new dwellings in Mount Waverley, totaling an estimated 1,160 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 268 recorded to date in FY-25. An influx of 1.1 new residents per year per approved home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) reflects a well-balanced residential development pipeline matching demographic demand. New residential builds carry an average construction cost value of $1,001,000, pointing to development activity centered on high-end, premium housing.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $31.7 million this financial year, underlining strong non-residential investment. Per capita construction activity in Mount Waverley tracks at 25.0% above the regional average over the 5 year period compared to Greater Melbourne, sustaining local development while preserving property valuations. Residential approvals comprise 56.0% detached houses alongside 44.0% medium and high-density housing, providing a diversified urban fabric ranging from conventional standalone residences to compact, higher-density formats. A ratio of approximately 158 people per dwelling approval further reinforces the area's development and expansion trajectory. Projections from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate anticipate that Mount Waverley will add 8,247 residents through to 2041. While residential construction continues to progress in line with expected urban growth, rising demand may intensify competition for incoming dwellings across the market.

21,055 residents of Mount Waverley are employed, from a labour force of 21,364. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 66.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% 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
The local labor market in Mount Waverley features a skilled professional profile, supported by a low jobless rate of 1.4% and an estimated 4.7% yearly job growth derived from AreaSearch statistical area datasets. Total employed residents stood at 21,055 as of March 2026, with the local unemployment level tracking 3.3% under the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%. Labor force participation was recorded at 66.7%, trailing Greater Melbourne's 70.1%, while Census returns showed 40.0% of workers working from home, a metric influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Resident workforce distribution is concentrated primarily in professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and retail trade sectors.
The professional & technical category is prominent, employing residents at 1.4 times the broader regional rate, whereas construction engages 6.6% of the workforce compared to the 9.7% regional benchmark. Comparing the Census working population against the local resident base suggests a significant volume of residents travel beyond the locality for employment. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures across the year to March 2026, local employment grew by 4.7% alongside a 4.5% rise in the labour force, yielding a 0.2 percentage points reduction in unemployment. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.1% increase in employment and a 2.3% expansion in the labour force, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. National outlook data from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provides forward-looking indicators for Mount Waverley across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct sectoral variations. Weighting these projections against the industry distribution of Mount Waverley indicates potential local job expansion of 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (note that this model uses illustrative weighting without factoring in local population changes).

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 — 417 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (35,340 at the 2021 Census → 38,260 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 (SAL21816). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
