Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Seaholme has an estimated 2,058 residents. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 94% of areas nationally. That puts 2,166 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

According to ABS population updates evaluated for the broader region alongside recently validated addresses from AreaSearch, Seaholme has an estimated population of 2,058 as of May 2026. This represents a drop of 9 people (0.4%) compared to the 2,067 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is based on a resident population of 2,051, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 8 new addresses verified since the Census. The resulting population density stands at 2,166 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio for locations assessed nationwide by AreaSearch.

Recent population increases were largely fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 76.0% of the overall gains. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 base year are used by AreaSearch for each SA2. For locations lacking this coverage, AreaSearch incorporates the 2023 VIC State Government projections, adjusting them via weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA to the SA2 level. The age bracket growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the period from 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic patterns, population growth is projected to exceed the median of statistical areas analyzed by AreaSearch, with the locality expected to increase by 305 individuals by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 14.5% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Seaholme

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

51 new dwellings have been approved in Seaholme over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 4.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, 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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas shows Seaholme averaging about 10 new home approvals annually, with an estimated 51 dwellings approved during the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and a single approval recorded so far in FY-26. With the population shrinking lately, this new supply has likely matched demand to provide buyers with sufficient choices, while the average value of these new builds is $602,000, showing that developers are aiming at the premium segment with higher-end dwellings. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $53.6 million this financial year, pointing to strong investment from local businesses.

Compared to Greater Melbourne, Seaholme generates about half the volume of building approvals per capita, placing in the 19th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which limits buyer choices and bolsters demand for established dwellings. The new construction mix consists of 25.0% separate houses and 75.0% medium and high-density dwellings. This focus on higher density offers more affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This is a clear departure from the existing housing stock, where houses make up 81.0% of properties, showing a decline in vacant developable land alongside shifting lifestyle preferences and a demand for more varied, economical housing options. The ratio of about 822 people per approval highlights the mature and settled nature of Seaholme. Looking forward, Seaholme is projected to add 298 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Construction activity is currently keeping pace with these growth projections, though purchasing conditions may become more competitive as the population expands.

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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,067 at the 2021 Census → 2,058 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 (SAL22250). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Seaholme suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Seaholme page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Seaholme data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
