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
Officer South has an estimated 2,181 residents, up from 1,159 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,022 people, or 88.2%. Growth has averaged 17.9% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. 246 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 76.0% of that increase. That puts 109 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
Analyzing demographic updates from the ABS for the surrounding region alongside address records validated by AreaSearch since the Census indicates the suburb of Officer South has a population of approximately 2,181 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 1,022 people (88.2%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 1,159 residents. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 2,095, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, combined with an extra 246 validated new addresses since the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 109 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future expansion.
The 88.2% expansion rate in the suburb of Officer South since the 2021 census outpaced the state level of 9.3% and the countrywide benchmark, positioning it as a local growth frontrunner. Net migration from other states was the main driver of population growth, accounting for roughly 76.0% of the total increase, though natural growth and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections for individual SA2 regions utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas where this data is unavailable, AreaSearch aggregates population growth from LGA to SA2 levels based on the 2023 Victorian State Government projections. Growth dynamics by age cohort from these models are also applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on this approach, the suburb of Officer South is projected to experience a demographic contraction, with the population set to shrink by 900 persons by 2041. Conversely, expansion is expected in certain brackets, particularly the 25 to 34 age range, which is forecast to rise by 101 people. Refer to the age breakdown section for further specifics.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
274 new dwellings have been approved in Officer South over the past five years, an average of 54 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 25 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 62 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 50, 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
Building approval figures from the ABS compiled for this area show that Officer South registered a yearly average of approximately 54 new dwelling approvals, with 274 residential approvals over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, and 46 during FY-26 so far. With an average of 4.3 additional residents per year for each completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, demand remains ahead of new supply, which generally increases competition and exerts upward pressure on property prices, while new dwellings carry an average construction value of $369,000. Furthermore, commercial development approvals of $140,000 have been logged this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the neighborhood.
Officer South yields 282.0% more development activity per capita than Greater Melbourne, providing home buyers with a broader selection. This volume is also substantially higher than the national standard, indicating that developers have high confidence in the local market. Recent completions consist of 97.0% detached houses and 3.0% apartments or townhouses, maintaining a low-density environment with a focus on stand-alone homes that appeal to buyers seeking space. New building activity shows a stronger preference for standalone houses than historical records indicate (78.0% at Census), demonstrating a persistent appetite for family residences despite density trends. With roughly 28 people for each approved dwelling, Officer South exhibits the hallmarks of a developing growth corridor. Given that the population is projected to stabilize or decrease, Officer South should experience less pressure on its housing market, which may open up opportunities for prospective buyers.

2,195 residents of Officer South are employed, from a labour force of 2,275. Unemployment sits at 3.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 1,337, about 61% 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
Officer South features a well-educated labor force with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of just 3.6%, and estimated job growth of 20.0% over the prior year, based on statistical area compilations by AreaSearch. In March 2026, 2,195 local residents were employed, and the unemployment rate sat 1.2% below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%, while labor force participation was exceptionally high at 150.2% compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census records indicate that a high 27.6% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The area exhibits a distinct concentration in health care & social assistance, employing residents at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for only 6.0% of the workforce in Officer South compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. A comparison of the Census working population against resident workers suggests local employment options are limited within the immediate area. Based on SALM and ABS statistics compiled by AreaSearch for the broader region, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 20.0% and the total labor force expand by 20.0%, maintaining a steady unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded job growth of 2.1%, labor force expansion of 2.3%, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand in Officer South. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although countrywide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Applying these sectoral projections to the employment profile of Officer South indicates local employment should rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted projection that does not factor in localized 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 — 246 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,159 at the 2021 Census → 2,181 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 (SAL22007). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
