Detail
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Pascoe Vale South is estimated at approximately 11,095, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated address entries. Compared to the 10,534 people recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents a gain of 561 people (5.3%). The figure builds upon an estimated resident population of 11,068 from the ABS release of June 2025 ERP data, alongside 59 validated new addresses added following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 3,649 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the upper quartile of areas evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch.
Inbound overseas migration was the primary engine of demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 79.0% of recent population additions. Population forecasting by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections across individual SA2 boundaries using 2022 as a baseline, supplemented by 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections using weighted growth aggregations from LGA down to SA2 levels where required. Age cohort growth rates from these models are similarly applied across all sectors for the period 2032 to 2041. In the suburb of Pascoe Vale South, prospective demographic growth is projected to rank in the upper quartile across Australia, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to an increase of 4,020 persons by 2041, representing a 36.0% overall expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
244 new dwellings have been approved in Pascoe Vale South over the past five years, an average of 48 a year. That is 4.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 48 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 46% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 32, 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
Building approval records compiled from statistical areas by AreaSearch reveal that Pascoe Vale South maintained an average of roughly 48 residential approvals annually, delivering approximately 244 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 32 approvals have been logged. With an average of 0.4 new residents arriving per new dwelling each year between FY-21 and FY-25, residential construction has matched or surpassed local intake, giving buyers expanded choices and accommodating population increases beyond current projections. New dwellings have an average construction cost of $776,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on high-end, premium housing.
In addition, commercial approvals for the current financial year total $2.4 million, reflecting a modest commercial development footprint. Recent residential construction activity comprises 46.0% detached houses and 54.0% multi-unit developments or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density accommodation provides more accessible price points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also signals a pronounced transition from the established neighborhood profile (presently 80.0% houses), driven by fewer remaining development sites and evolving demand for varied, cost-effective dwelling formats. With approximately 203 people per dwelling approval, the market maintains a low-density character overall. Looking forward, the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch anticipate that Pascoe Vale South will add 3,993 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing supply could lag behind population expansion, potentially heightening competition for homes and placing upward pressure on property prices.

6,423 residents of Pascoe Vale South are employed, from a labour force of 6,730. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 73.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,453, 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 workforce in Pascoe Vale South is characterized by high levels of qualification and strong participation in professional services, featuring a local unemployment rate of 4.6% and a 3.6% increase in employment over the preceding year, as shown by AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents reached 6,423, keeping the local unemployment rate 0.2% lower than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while labor participation remained solid at 73.0% against 70.1% for Greater Melbourne. Census figures indicated that 41.1% of working residents operated from home, though this was influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical services. Employment concentration is especially pronounced in education & training, running at 1.3 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing represents a smaller share of the local labor pool at 5.2% in Pascoe Vale South, compared to 7.2% across Greater Melbourne. Given the disparity between working population counts and resident numbers from Census records, this largely residential enclave provides a limited volume of jobs within its own borders. According to AreaSearch's synthesis of ABS and SALM figures across wider statistical areas, both employment and the overall labor force grew by 3.6% over the 12 months leading to March 2026, preserving a steady unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labor force expand by 2.3%, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Further context regarding local labor dynamics can be drawn from the Mar-26 national employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia. Across Australia, total employment is projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variation by sector. Aligning these sector projections with the local workforce distribution suggests employment in Pascoe Vale South could rise by 6.7% across five years and 13.8% across ten years (this represents a baseline weighted extrapolation for illustrative comparison and omits localized population adjustments).

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 — 59 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,534 at the 2021 Census → 11,095 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 (SAL22042). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
