Sales Detail
Narre Warren South has an estimated 31,417 residents, up from 30,909 at the 2021 Census — a change of 508 people, or 1.6%. That puts 2,375 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
Following assessment of geographic demographic updates compiled by the ABS alongside recent addresses confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Narre Warren South has an estimated resident count of 31,417 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 508 people (1.6%) relative to the 30,909 people documented in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is derived from the resident population of 31,417 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP data combined with 83 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The local population density stands at 2,374 persons per square kilometer, which ranks within the top quartile of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The primary driver of this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 64.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. Projections established by the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as a baseline, have been adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this direct data, AreaSearch has utilised the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, applying a weighted aggregation methodology to translate growth from LGA to SA2 divisions. The age group growth rates obtained from these calculations are extended to cover the period from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic outlooks indicate that the suburb of Narre Warren South is set to experience population growth exceeding the national median, with aggregated SA2 projections estimating an increase of 4,678 persons by 2041, representing a total rise of 14.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
241 new dwellings have been approved in Narre Warren South over the past five years, an average of 48 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 78% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals compiled from localized statistical data, the suburb of Narre Warren South averaged approximately 48 residential approvals annually, amounting to an estimated 241 homes over the previous 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 26 approvals have been registered to date. Because the locality has seen a population drop, the volume of housing approvals has remained sufficient to meet demand, supporting a balanced market with ample opportunities for buyers, while newly approved builds carry an average value of $515,000, indicating that developers are targeting upscale, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $1.1 million have been logged during this financial year, underscoring that the area remains predominantly residential. Recent residential planning approvals consist of 78.0% standalone houses and 22.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings, maintaining a suburban profile dominated by houses that appeal to buyers seeking space. This represents a distinct shift from the current housing stock, which is 93.0% houses, pointing to a decline in available vacant land while reflecting changing household habits and budget constraints. Narre Warren South shows a highly established residential market, averaging roughly 1428 people for every dwelling approval. Long-term forecasts indicate that the suburb of Narre Warren South will gain 4,678 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the supply of new housing may fall short of demographic growth, which could intensify competition among home buyers and lead to more robust price appreciation.

17,444 residents of Narre Warren South are employed, from a labour force of 18,465. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 73.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 23,889, 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
The suburb of Narre Warren South features a qualified labour force, with particularly high representation in the building trades, an unemployment rate of 5.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 4.4% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch's compiled regional statistics. As of March 2026, there are 17,444 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.8% higher than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, while the participation rate is solid at 73.2% compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census records indicate that a moderate 20.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local citizens are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce displays a pronounced concentration in manufacturing, employing residents at 1.6 times the regional average rate. By contrast, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 5.2% of workers compared to the Greater Melbourne average of 10.1%. Because it is overwhelmingly residential, the suburb appears to offer few local jobs, as shown by comparing the number of employed residents to those working within the statistical boundary during the Census. According to AreaSearch's processing of SALM and ABS statistics for broader regions, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 4.4% and the active workforce grow by 4.4%, which kept the local unemployment rate steady. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% rise in employment and a 2.3% rise in the labour force, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National occupational projections from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future employment trends in the suburb of Narre Warren South. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future trends. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of expansion vary greatly by sector. Applying these national industry trends to the local workforce profile suggests employment in the suburb of Narre Warren South would grow by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, using a simple industry-weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local demographic forecasts.

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 — 83 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (30,909 at the 2021 Census → 31,417 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.
