Detail
The suburb of Strathmore (Vic.) has an estimated population of 9,529 as of May 2026, according to analysis of ABS population updates and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census. This figure represents an increase of 549 people, or 6.1%, compared to the 2021 Census count of 8,980 people. The estimate is derived from a resident population of 9,524, which AreaSearch calculated after reviewing the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2025, plus 44 newly validated addresses recorded after the Census date. With a population density of 2,762 persons per square kilometer, this suburb falls within the upper quartile of locations evaluated by AreaSearch on a national scale.
Its 6.1% growth since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area, which grew by 4.9%, making Strathmore a leading growth area in the region. Overseas migration accounted for approximately 78.0% of the total population increase during recent periods. Projections for the suburb of Strathmore (Vic.) rely on 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia datasets using 2022 as a base. For areas lacking direct data, growth rates are generated by weighting state government projections from 2023 and aggregating them from municipal to local levels. These age-specific growth trajectories are extended for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking forward, the suburb of Strathmore (Vic.) is projected to experience population growth above the national average, with residents increasing by 1,125 individuals by 2041, representing an overall expansion of 11.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
296 new dwellings have been approved in Strathmore (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 59 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 60 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 42% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, 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
Data on building approvals shows Strathmore averages approximately 59 new residential permissions annually, with a total of 296 residential approvals over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 45 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.1 new residents per built dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply corresponds well with demand, supporting stable local market conditions. New dwellings show an average construction cost of $939,000, indicating that builders are targeting the higher-end market with premium homes. In addition, commercial approvals valued at $8.1 million were registered during the current financial year, highlighting that the neighborhood remains predominantly residential.
Strathmore displays similar per capita building activity to Greater Melbourne, preserving a supply balance consistent with the wider metropolitan region. Recent building approvals consist of 42.0% single-family detached houses and 58.0% multi-unit medium or high-density dwellings. The shift toward higher density offers more affordable options and attracts downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the current housing stock, which is 77.0% houses, indicating a scarcity of vacant land and changing buyer preferences regarding lifestyle and affordability. There are roughly 180 residents for every residential approval, demonstrating a low-density development landscape. Projections indicate that Strathmore will gain 1,120 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent quarterly estimate. Given current construction volumes, the supply of housing should be sufficient to meet demand, supporting favorable buyer conditions and potentially supporting growth beyond initial estimates.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,322, 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
The local workforce is characterized by high levels of education and strong representation in professional occupations, alongside a very low unemployment rate of 1.3% and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,699, with the local unemployment rate sitting 3.5% lower than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%. The labor participation rate is 72.8%, compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census data shows that a significant 38.7% of working residents operated from home, though this figure was influenced by public health restrictions. Local workers are primarily employed in healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and professional and technical services.
The education and training sector has a high concentration, employing workers at 1.2 times the metropolitan average. In contrast, manufacturing employment is lower, accounting for 5.0% of the workforce compared to the metropolitan average of 7.2%. The area is mostly residential and offers relatively few local jobs, as shown by comparing the number of locally employed people against the total working population. Analysis of employment statistics reveals that over the 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 0.3% while total employment fell by 0.1%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% expansion in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. National forecasts released in May-25 offer further context regarding future labor demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment paths. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will perform differently. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents will grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years.

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 — 44 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,980 at the 2021 Census → 9,529 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 (SAL22380). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
