This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Strathmore (Vic.) has an estimated population of around 9,525, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates and 45 validated new addresses added since the Census. This represents an expansion of 545 people (6.1%) above the 8,980 people recorded at the 2021 Census. The calculation builds upon an estimated resident population of 9,520 determined by AreaSearch from the June 2025 ABS ERP release. With a density of 2,760 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the upper quartile across evaluated Australian locations.
Driven largely by overseas migration, which generated approximately 78.0% of recent population gains, Strathmore's 6.1% increase outpaced the 4.9% rate of the wider SA3 area, positioning it as a regional growth leader. In evaluating prospective trends, AreaSearch applies 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections based on 2022 data, alongside 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections adjusted through weighted LGA-to-SA2 growth aggregation where coverage requires, applying age-cohort rates across 2032 to 2041. Projections indicate above median population growth nationwide for the suburb of Strathmore (Vic.), with aggregated SA2-level models forecasting an expansion of 1,120 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 11.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
301 new dwellings have been approved in Strathmore (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 60 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 58 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 47, broadly in line with 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 by AreaSearch of ABS building approvals across statistical area data shows Strathmore averaging approximately 60 new home approvals per year, totaling an estimated 301 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 47 during FY-25 to date. An influx rate of 1.1 new residents per approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates balanced supply and demand dynamics supporting market stability. Approved dwellings carry an average expected construction cost of $1,122,000, reflecting strong developer commitment to upmarket, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $8.1 million this financial year, pointing to restrained commercial development activity. Per capita building activity in Strathmore mirrors Greater Melbourne levels, preserving market balance in line with the broader metropolitan area. Newly approved residential construction comprises 45.0% detached houses and 55.0% attached dwellings, offering accessible entry-level options suited to investors, downsizers, and new buyers. This shift away from the prevailing stock of 77.0% houses reflects diminishing supplies of developable land and adapts to modern affordability and lifestyle demands. Overall, an average of around 161 people per dwelling approval reflects low density characteristics. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Strathmore is projected to add 1,115 residents by 2041. At current rates of construction, upcoming residential supply is well positioned to satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially facilitating growth beyond projected levels.

Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Statistical area data aggregated by AreaSearch highlights a highly qualified workforce in Strathmore, characterized by strong professional services participation, steady annual employment conditions, and an unemployment rate of just 1.3%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,701, while the local unemployment rate sits 3.5% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%. Workforce participation stands at 72.6%, comparing to 70.1% for Greater Melbourne.

Key employment sectors for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, education & training, alongside professional & technical.
Strathmore exhibits notable specialization in education & training, securing an employment share 1.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing represents 5.0% of jobs against a regional average of 7.2%. A comparison between resident workforce figures and local Census workers highlights the suburb's primarily residential nature and limited local job base. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM statistical data indicates that during the twelve months to March 2026, Strathmore saw its labour force fall by 0.3% and employment decrease by 0.1%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage points reduction in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.1% increase in employment and 2.3% growth in the labor force, while its unemployment rate rose 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context for local employment demand across five and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against Strathmore's employment profile indicates local job growth of 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a simple illustrative extrapolation that excludes localized population adjustments.

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 — 45 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,980 at the 2021 Census → 9,525 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 (SAL22380). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
