Scoresby has an estimated 6,199 residents, up from 6,066 at the 2021 Census — a change of 133 people, or 2.2%. 120 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 713 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
As of Aug 2026, the population of the suburb of Scoresby stands at approximately 6,199, according to an evaluation of wider ABS demographic updates alongside post-Census address validations conducted by AreaSearch. In comparison with the 6,066 residents counted in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 133 people (2.2%). This figure is calculated from an estimated resident count of 6,168 determined through the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 120 validated new addresses added after the Census. The suburb of Scoresby exhibits a density of 713 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations.
Furthermore, the local 2.2% expansion rate trails the broader SA3 figure (3.3%) by only 1.1 percentage points, highlighting solid local momentum. The primary catalyst for demographic expansion has been overseas arrivals, accounting for roughly 71.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Scoresby utilise 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data modeled from a 2022 baseline at the SA2 level. Where specific SA2 figures are unavailable, AreaSearch incorporates the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases via a weighted aggregation framework bridging LGA and SA2 levels. These cohort-specific growth rates are similarly applied across all regions from 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the suburb of Scoresby is projected to experience above-median growth relative to statistical areas across the country, expanding by 1,094 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling, which translates to a total rise of 17.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
221 new dwellings have been approved in Scoresby over the past five years, an average of 44 a year. That is 4.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 47% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Scoresby averages roughly 44 approved residential dwellings each year. Over the previous 5 financial years from FY-21 through FY-25, approximately 221 residences received approval, including 18 approvals during FY-25 to date. Because population numbers have contracted in recent times, incoming additions have generally satisfied local requirements while maintaining good buyer options, with new homes carrying an average construction value of $524,000. On the commercial front, planning approvals reached $23.7 million over the current financial year, representing a moderate volume of non-residential development.
Per-capita development activity in Scoresby aligns with Greater Melbourne, maintaining steady market balance alongside neighbouring localities despite a recent easing in overall building momentum. Of the current building approvals, detached houses represent 47.0%, while medium-to-high density formats such as townhouses and apartments account for 53.0%. This growing orientation toward higher-density stock creates more accessible price points for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a noticeable transition from the existing built environment, where houses comprise 96.0% of stock, responding to constrained land supply alongside shifting demographic preferences. The locality currently registers roughly 301 people per dwelling approval, underscoring its low-density profile. According to the latest quarterly forecasts from AreaSearch, Scoresby is expected to welcome 1,063 additional residents leading up to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing completions will adequately absorb this influx, fostering favorable conditions for property purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion above current baseline expectations.

3,433 residents of Scoresby are employed, from a labour force of 3,576. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 69.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,946, about 160% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Scoresby features an educated workforce spanning diverse industries, recording an unemployment rate of 4.0% and an estimated 1.0% rise in job numbers over the preceding year, based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents totaled 3,433, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.8% below the Greater Melbourne figure of 4.8%, while labour market participation tracks closely with the metropolitan mark of 70.1%. At the Census, working from home was reported by 26.4% of local workers, though this was likely influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing.
Notably, manufacturing demonstrates substantial local concentration, operating at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical sector accounts for 8.5% of resident employment, trailing the 10.1% recorded for Greater Melbourne. With 1.8 jobs located in the area for each resident worker at the time of the Census, Scoresby serves as a key employment destination that imports talent from adjacent suburbs. According to AreaSearch evaluations of aggregated ABS and SALM metrics over the recent 12-month period, local employment expanded by 1.0% while the labour force grew by 1.4%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Across Greater Melbourne over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 2.1%, the workforce expanded by 2.3%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provides broader context for future labour demand. Applying their nationwide industry forecasts—which project overall job gains of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years—to the local sector composition indicates potential local employment growth of 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (calculated via weighted industry modeling for illustrative purposes without factoring 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 — 120 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,066 at the 2021 Census → 6,199 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.
