Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases and post-Census address validations, the suburb of Pascoe Vale has an estimated population of approximately 19,997 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,826 people (10.0%) from the 18,171 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is based on a resident count of 19,774 determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP figures, alongside 338 newly confirmed addresses following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 4,015 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the top 10% nationwide and highlighting significant demand for local residential land.
Outpacing both Victoria at 9.5% and nationwide figures, the 10.0% gain since the 2021 Census positions the suburb as a notable regional growth performer, with overseas migration serving as the principal driver by generating roughly 73.0% of recent population additions. Demographic modeling incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022 benchmarks, supplemented where needed by the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset via weighted LGA-to-SA2 aggregation. Age-specific growth rates derived from these models are further applied across all districts for the years 2032 to 2041. Over this timeframe, the suburb of Pascoe Vale is anticipated to experience remarkable expansion that ranks within the upper 10 percent of statistical areas across Australia. Long-term aggregated SA2 forecasts project a rise of 9,212 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 45.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
698 new dwellings have been approved in Pascoe Vale over the past five years, an average of 139 a year. That places the area in the 75th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 142 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 25% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 127, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Pascoe Vale averages roughly 139 residential building permits annually. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), 698 dwellings received planning approval, including 127 in FY-25 to date. Over this identical 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the construction rate yielded 1.2 new residents per year per dwelling, pointing to a balanced supply-demand environment. Approved homes carry an average estimated construction cost of $553,000, which sits above broader regional figures and underscores a focus on premium residential builds.
Meanwhile, commercial construction permits totaled $425,000 for the current financial year, highlighting the suburb's predominantly residential character. Recent planning approvals are split between 25.0% detached houses and 75.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on medium- and higher-density formats delivers accessible pricing for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a structural transition from the current housing stock, where standalone houses account for 48.0%, reflecting site constraints and changing consumer preferences for diversified, attainable homes. Demonstrating strong growth characteristics, the area averages approximately 147 people per approved dwelling. Based on latest quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Pascoe Vale is slated to add 8,989 residents through to 2041. Should current residential construction trajectories persist, dwelling additions could fall behind ongoing population expansion, tightening the local property market and reinforcing upward pressure on prices.

11,923 residents of Pascoe Vale are employed, from a labour force of 12,236. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 74.0%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 15,306, about 77% 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
Pascoe Vale features a well-educated labor force with significant employment in professional services, steady year-on-year job numbers, and a low unemployment rate of 2.6%, according to aggregated statistical area figures from AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 11,923, while the jobless rate sat 2.2% lower than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne. Labor force participation stood at 74.0%, comparing favorably to the regional benchmark of 70.1%. At the time of the Census, 37.9% of workers operated from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Local resident employment is centered primarily in health care & social assistance, professional & technical roles, and education & training.
The workforce displays a prominent concentration in public administration & safety, where local representation is 1.4 times the regional rate. Conversely, retail trade accounts for only 8.2% of working residents, trailing Greater Melbourne's 9.8%. Given the disparity between working residents and local job counts at the Census, the suburb functions largely as a dormitory residential community with limited local employment hubs. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM records indicates that over the 12-month period, local employment saw no net change while the labor pool contracted by 0.5%, resulting in a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise 2.1% and the labor force expand 2.3%, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Further context is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections across five and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. When applied to the local workforce composition through simple weighted extrapolation without localized population modeling, employment demand is projected to increase by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years.

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 — 338 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (18,171 at the 2021 Census → 19,997 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 (SAL22041). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
