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 data from ABS updates and fresh addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Niddrie has an estimated population of 6,343 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 442 residents (7.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 5,901 individuals. This adjustment is calculated from a resident population of 6,299, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 63 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such figures represent a density of 3,624 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile of areas evaluated nationally by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Niddrie recorded a 7.5% expansion rate that outpaced the wider SA3 region (4.9%), making it a local growth leader. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for approximately 63.0% of the total population increase over recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 sectors, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In instances where SA2 data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases and adjusted via weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age cohort from these calculations are applied across all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transformations, the suburb of Niddrie is projected to experience population growth above the national median, expanding by 768 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing an overall increase of 11.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
232 new dwellings have been approved in Niddrie over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 48 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 52, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approvals indicate that Niddrie averages approximately 46 dwelling approvals annually, with an estimated total of 232 residential approvals over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 48 during the course of FY-26. Given that an average of 1.1 people relocated to the area for every finished home over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the local property market shows balanced supply and demand dynamics, indicating stable conditions. The average valuation of new residential projects is $645,000, pointing to developer focus on high-end, premium housing.
Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $6.0 million during this financial year, which reinforces the predominantly residential character of the locality. Construction activity in Niddrie is moderately higher than the Greater Melbourne benchmark, tracking 12.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year timeframe, which supports local property valuations while offering options for buyers. The composition of new projects consists of 29.0% detached houses and 71.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings. This orientation toward higher density options provides budget-friendly pathways and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend marks a shift from the historical housing stock, which is currently 65.0% standalone houses, reflecting the scarcity of development parcels and adapting to changing preferences and budget constraints. With a ratio of approximately 130 people per approved dwelling, Niddrie displays characteristics of an evolving market. Long-term forecasts suggest Niddrie will welcome an additional 724 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. The current volume of construction suggests residential supply is positioned to satisfy this demand, establishing positive dynamics for purchasers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces current predictions.

3,809 residents of Niddrie are employed, from a labour force of 3,882. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 73.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,223, about 82% 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 local workforce is characterized by high levels of educational attainment and a strong concentration in professional roles, alongside an unemployment rate of only 1.9% and stable employment patterns over the past year, according to AreaSearch evaluations. In March 2026, there were 3,809 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate was 2.9% lower than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. The workforce participation rate stood at 73.7%, compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census records indicate that 35.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The community shows a high concentration in construction, with its employment share tracking 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is less prevalent locally, employing 12.1% of the workforce compared to 14.2% across Greater Melbourne. This mostly residential neighborhood provides a relatively small volume of local employment, as shown by comparing the count of working residents against the local daytime working population. AreaSearch evaluated SALM and ABS information compiled from larger statistical regions across the twelve months leading to March 2026 and found that the labour force shrank by 0.9% while employment dropped 0.4%, which caused the unemployment rate to decline by 0.5 percentage points. In Greater Melbourne the picture was opposite, with employment growing 2.1%, the labour force expanding 2.3%, and unemployment rising 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context for anticipating future job demand inside Niddrie. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid onto Niddrie's current employment structure to project how jobs might evolve. The national outlook anticipates a 6.6% rise in employment over five years and a 13.7% rise over ten years, though expansion varies substantially across different industries. When these sectoral growth rates are weighted according to Niddrie's existing employment composition, the estimate points to a 6.6% increase over five years and a 13.4% increase over ten years for the local area. This calculation uses a straightforward weighting method for demonstration only and does not incorporate local population projections.

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 — 63 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,901 at the 2021 Census → 6,343 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.
