Sales Detail
Myrtleford has an estimated 3,175 residents, down from 3,285 at the 2021 Census — a change of 110 people, or 3.3%. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 98% of areas nationally. Density is about 40 people per 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
Based on assessments of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Myrtleford is estimated to be approximately 3,175 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 110 people (3.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 3,285 residents. The fluctuation is calculated from a resident population of 3,170, estimated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP dataset from the ABS (June 2025) plus an additional 24 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level corresponds to a density of 39 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with significant space per resident.
Growth in the local population was heavily reliant on net overseas migration, which served as virtually the sole driver of resident gains over recent timeframes. AreaSearch relies on ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this data, projections are sourced from the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2023, adjusted via a weighted aggregation methodology to translate LGA trends to SA2 levels. Growth rates across specific age cohorts derived from these aggregations are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, population expansion is anticipated to run slightly below the median for non-metropolitan parts of Australia, with the suburb of Myrtleford projected to grow by 165 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level models, representing a total increase of 5.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
48 new dwellings have been approved in Myrtleford over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, Myrtleford has averaged approximately 9 new residential approvals annually. This translates to an estimated 48 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 7 during the current FY-26 period. Given the declining local population, this new supply has likely matched local demand, providing options for buyers, with new dwellings carrying an average construction value of $492,000, pointing to a focus by developers on higher-end, premium housing. Additionally, commercial approvals have totaled $4.2 million this financial year, reflecting a modest focus on commercial construction.
Compared with the Rest of Vic., building activity in Myrtleford is substantially lower, sitting at 57.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited addition of new housing stock typically supports demand and valuations for established properties. The rate of activity also falls below the national average, indicating a mature market and potential planning barriers. Recent approvals consist of 90.0% standalone houses and 10.0% townhouses or apartments, which preserves the traditional low-density profile of the area and emphasizes family-oriented properties. A ratio of 635 people per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-scale nature of local construction. Future forecasts suggest Myrtleford will add 160 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current levels of building activity are expected to sufficiently satisfy housing demand, supporting buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

1,458 residents of Myrtleford are employed, from a labour force of 1,522. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 55.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,632, 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
Myrtleford has a diverse workforce distributed between professional and industrial roles, with a strong manufacturing footprint and an unemployment rate of 4.2%, according to AreaSearch's compiled regional statistics. As of March 2026, there are 1,458 employed residents, while the local unemployment rate sits 0.5% higher than the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%. Participation in the labor force is also notably lower, at 55.7% compared to 61.1% for Regional Vic. Census data indicates that a modest 9.3% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The local economy is highly concentrated in manufacturing, where employment is 1.8 times the regional average. Conversely, construction accounts for only 8.0% of jobs, compared to 10.4% across Regional Vic. A comparison between the local working population and the resident population suggests a limited supply of jobs within the immediate locality. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader statistical area indicates that over the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 2.7% and total employment fell by 2.5%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. This compares to 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. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends in Myrtleford. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate potential growth. While nationwide employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by sector. Applying these sectoral trends to the local workforce mix suggests employment in Myrtleford could rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for 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 — 24 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,285 at the 2021 Census → 3,175 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 (SAL21863). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
