Sales Detail
Patterson Lakes has an estimated 8,026 residents, up from 7,793 at the 2021 Census — a change of 233 people, or 3.0%. That puts 1,880 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
Based on an assessment of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region, combined with fresh street addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Patterson Lakes has a projected population of approximately 8,026 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 233 people (3.0%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 7,793 residents. The calculation originates from a resident population of 8,005, which AreaSearch estimated after evaluating the ABS's June 2025 ERP release, along with 10 validated new addresses added after the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 1,879 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure recorded across national areas monitored by AreaSearch.
Growth in the suburb of Patterson Lakes was largely propelled by overseas arrivals, who accounted for about 69.0% of the overall population gains during the latest periods. AreaSearch implements ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 district, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 areas omitted from this dataset, AreaSearch relies on the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2023, modifying them via a weighted aggregation method of population increases from LGA to SA2 scale. Growth rates segmented by age bracket from these aggregations are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Reviewing upcoming demographic patterns, a growth rate exceeding the national median is anticipated for the suburb of Patterson Lakes, with expectations of an additional 1,132 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 13.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
26 new dwellings have been approved in Patterson Lakes over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 0.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, running ahead of 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 approval records mapped from regional statistical datasets, Patterson Lakes has averaged approximately 5 approved residential dwellings annually, culminating in a total of 26 dwellings over the previous 5 financial years. In the course of FY-26 so far, 8 building approvals have been logged. With a mean of 1.5 individuals migrating to the district per year for each completed home between FY-21 and FY-25, demand matches supply closely to foster balanced market conditions. Meanwhile, new properties are built with an average value of $730,000, which highlights that developers are prioritizing the premium sector with high-end houses.
Furthermore, $1.6 million in commercial construction approvals have been registered during this financial year, emphasizing the dominant residential profile of the locality. In comparison to Greater Melbourne, Patterson Lakes exhibits substantially lower construction volume, tracking at 88.0% below the regional per capita average. This undersupply of fresh dwellings generally bolsters demand and valuations for existing properties, even though building activity has quickened lately. This volume also falls below the national average, highlighting the mature nature of the locality and pointing to possible planning constraints. Recent construction approvals comprise 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% semi-detached properties or units. This concentration on higher-density options offers more budget-friendly points of entry and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear departure from the current residential mix, which is 60.0% houses, showing a dwindling supply of vacant land alongside shifting lifestyle demands and the requirement for varied, affordable housing. Averaging roughly 889 residents for every dwelling approval, the local market is highly established. Demographic projections indicate that Patterson Lakes is set to add 1,111 residents by 2041, looking from the latest quarterly calculation by AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, residential supply might struggle to keep pace with population expansion, which could intensify competition among buyers and underpin price growth.

4,398 residents of Patterson Lakes are employed, from a labour force of 4,651. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 67.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,361, about 79% 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
Patterson Lakes boasts a capable labor pool, with building industries standing out as a major employer, alongside a 5.4% unemployment rate and a 0.5% projected job increase over the previous year, according to AreaSearch compiled data from statistical regions. By March 2026, 4,398 individuals were employed, and the local joblessness figure stood 0.7% higher than Greater Melbourne's 4.8%, while the proportion of people in the workforce reached 67.6%, slightly trailing Greater Melbourne's 70.2%. Census data revealed that 28.2% of inhabitants worked remotely, a figure that likely reflects the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The locality exhibits a strong specialization in the construction sector, employing workers at a rate 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, the professional & technical services sector is underrepresented, employing only 7.4% of the local workforce compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. This mostly residential locality appears to provide a low volume of local jobs, as highlighted by comparing the number of locally employed workers against the resident labor force. Based on AreaSearch's compiled SALM and ABS data from regional statistical zones, the 12-month period experienced a 0.5% rise in total employment alongside a 0.6% contraction in the labor force, resulting in a 1.0 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Conversely, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise. Employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide further perspective on future demand trends. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change differ widely across industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local employment base suggests local employment will rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not integrate local population growth estimates.

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,793 at the 2021 Census → 8,026 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 (SAL22047). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
