Sales Detail
Red Cliffs has an estimated 5,229 residents, down from 5,294 at the 2021 Census — a change of 65 people, or 1.2%. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 96% of areas nationally. Density is about 25 people per 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
According to investigations of ABS demographic statistics for the surrounding region, combined with fresh locations confirmed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Red Cliffs has an estimated residency of 5,229 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 65 people (1.2%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 5,294 people. The adjustment is determined from a resident population of 5,224, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP publication by the ABS (June 2025) along with 54 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level yields a density of 25 persons per square kilometer, indicating a setting with substantial space per resident.
Throughout the previous decade, the suburb of Red Cliffs has shown persistent expansion with a 0.4% compound annual growth rate, ahead of the SA4 region. Demographic expansion in the locality was chiefly supported by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 74.0% of all population increases in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 localities lacking this information, AreaSearch implements the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2023, adjusted via a weighted combination of population increases from LGA to SA2 tiers. Age cohort growth rates from these combinations are also applied across all localities for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transformations, population expansion above the median for national non-metropolitan zones is anticipated, with the suburb of Red Cliffs expected to grow by 959 persons to 2041 using combined SA2-level estimates, representing an overall rise of 18.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
152 new dwellings have been approved in Red Cliffs over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That is 5.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 24 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 45, 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 evaluations of ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical areas, Red Cliffs has recorded approximately 30 residential approvals annually, with a total of 152 homes authorized during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 42 thus far in FY-26. While the locality has seen population contraction, building volume has been relative and sufficient, which is advantageous for purchasers, with new residences constructed at an average estimated cost of $332,000. Furthermore, $4.4 million in commercial permits have been registered in the current financial year, highlighting the residential orientation of the locality.
Relative to the Rest of Vic., Red Cliffs displays a higher volume of new home approvals (12.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), preserving selection for purchasers and sustaining existing real estate values, even though construction pace has slowed recently. Recent building activity consists of 96.0% detached houses and 4.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the conventional low-density footprint focused on family residences for those desiring space. With approximately 223 people per approval, Red Cliffs is characterized as a low-density locality. Demographic projections indicate Red Cliffs will add 954 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Building activity is keeping reasonable pace with the expected growth, though home buyers might encounter greater competition as the community expands.

2,592 residents of Red Cliffs are employed, from a labour force of 2,656. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 60.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,543, about 87% 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
Red Cliffs has a balanced labor force consisting of white and blue collar jobs, with diverse representation across sectors, and an unemployment rate of only 2.4%, based on AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,592 residents are employed, which is 1.3% below the Regional Vic. unemployment rate of 3.7%, while participation in the workforce is generally close to the Regional Vic. rate of 61.1%. According to Census details, a low 9.4% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The locality displays a strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with an employment percentage 2.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance provides jobs for only 11.6% of the local workforce, which is below the Regional Vic. level of 16.8%. The locality appears to present restricted employment options internally, as shown by the ratio of the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch assessments of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, over the 12 months to March 2026, labor force numbers contracted by 3.4% and employment fell by 1.4%, which resulted in a decline of 2.0 percentage points in unemployment. In comparison, Regional Vic. saw employment contract by 0.1% and the labor force shrink by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point decline. The national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Red Cliffs. These estimations, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with local workforce distribution to project future trends. While national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion rates vary widely across different industries. Aligning these industry-specific projections with the employment composition of Red Cliffs suggests local employment should expand by 5.1% over five years and 11.4% over ten years (note this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and excludes localized population 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 — 54 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,294 at the 2021 Census → 5,229 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 (SAL22147). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
