Sales Detail
Seddon (Vic.) has an estimated 5,466 residents, up from 5,143 at the 2021 Census — a change of 323 people, or 6.3%. Overseas migration accounts for 73.0% of that increase. That puts 5,941 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 Seddon (Vic.) is estimated to be approximately 5,466, drawing from broader ABS population adjustments alongside 40 validated new addresses confirmed by AreaSearch following the Census benchmark. This indicates an expansion of 323 people (6.3%) beyond the 5,143 residents counted in the 2021 Census, building on an ERP figure of 5,426 determined from the ABS June 2025 release. With a concentration of 5,941 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the top 10% of all Australian areas assessed by AreaSearch for density, creating significant competition for local land.
The primary driver of this demographic intake has been overseas migration, which made up around 73.0% of recent population additions. Demographic projections for the suburb of Seddon (Vic.) utilize the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset with a 2022 baseline, supplemented where necessary by the 2023 VIC State Government regional figures converted via weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 level. These age-cohort models extend from 2032 to 2041 across all regions. Over this timeframe, the suburb of Seddon (Vic.) is slated for above-median expansion relative to national statistical zones, adding 938 persons by 2041 under SA2 aggregate modeling, which represents a 16.4% gain over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
313 new dwellings have been approved in Seddon (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 62 a year. That is 10.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 55 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 7% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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
Data from the ABS indicates that building approvals in Seddon have run at an annual average of roughly 62 residences, culminating in 313 approved dwellings throughout the previous 5 financial years, with 10 approvals logged to date in FY-25. Construction values are running at an average estimated cost of $588,000 per residence, moderately higher than regional benchmarks and pointing to higher-end developments. In tandem, with an annual average intake of only 0.1 new residents per approved dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, new residential output comfortably satisfies or outpaces demand to support heightened housing choice and prospective population gains.
Local non-residential development remains energetic as well, highlighted by $35.7 million in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year. Per-capita building volume in Seddon matches the wider Greater Melbourne rate to keep overall supply balanced, even though pace has slackened recently, while remaining noticeably higher than the national baseline due to persistent developer interest. Medium and high-density dwellings make up 93.0% of recent approvals compared to 7.0% for standalone houses, delivering accessible price points suited to downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors. This stands in sharp contrast to the established dwelling environment, where houses still constitute 67.0% of existing stock, illustrating constrained land availability and shifting buyer preferences. Overall development intensity sits at approximately 473 people per dwelling approval, representative of an established urban pocket. Longer-term demographic modeling projects an influx of 898 residents into Seddon through to 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Existing construction velocity appears well-positioned to satisfy this residential demand, fostering a favorable buying environment while maintaining capacity for growth beyond forecast levels.

3,693 residents of Seddon (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 3,816. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 83.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,190, about 77% 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
Seddon features a highly skilled labor pool, with the technology industry being especially prominent, an unemployment rate of just 3.2%, and an estimated employment growth of 2.0% over the previous year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,693 residents are employed, and the local unemployment rate stands 1.5% below Greater Melbourne's 4.8%, while workforce participation exceeds the standard at 83.0% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. Census data indicates that a substantial 53.9% of residents worked from home, although the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Local workers are concentrated primarily in professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The professional & technical category is particularly prominent, recording a concentration 1.4 times regional levels. Conversely, construction employment is subdued, engaging just 6.0% of local workers versus 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. Given the disparity between working residents and local job counts at the Census, local commercial employment capacity remains modest across this predominantly residential precinct. According to SALM and ABS figures aggregated across wider statistical divisions, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw local employment rise by 2.0% and the labour pool expand by 1.9%, lowering the jobless rate by 0.1 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% lift in jobs alongside a 2.3% rise in the labour pool, pushing unemployment up by 0.2 percentage points. Aligning Seddon's workforce composition with national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia (dated Mar-26)—which project economy-wide job increases of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years—indicates that local employment could grow by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% across ten years through weighted extrapolation, noting sector variation across industries.

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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,143 at the 2021 Census → 5,466 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 (SAL22256). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
