DemographicsPopulation Growth in Tyabb

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Tyabb has an estimated 3,504 residents, up from 3,449 at the 2021 Census — a change of 55 people, or 1.6%. That puts 148 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining broader Australian Bureau of Statistics regional updates with post-Census validated addresses, the suburb of Tyabb has reached an estimated population of 3,504 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 55 people (1.6%) relative to the 3,449 people tallied during the 2021 Census. Such movement is determined from the 3,504 resident count derived by AreaSearch through the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 84 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 148 persons per square kilometer, offering generous space per resident and room for future expansion.

The suburb of Tyabb recorded a 1.6% post-census growth rate, trailing the wider SA3 area (2.0%) by only 0.4 percentage points and showing solid demographic fundamentals. In recent times, natural increase served as the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 52.0% of total population gains. For local modeling, AreaSearch relies on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections benchmarked to 2022. In instances where SA2 figures are missing, projections draw upon 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA datasets converted via weighted aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries, with age-group expansion rates from these series applied across 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Tyabb is anticipated to experience population expansion slightly beneath the national median, gaining 394 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling—a total increase of 11.2% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Tyabb

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

33 new dwellings have been approved in Tyabb over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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 assessment of ABS building approvals across statistical geographies indicates that Tyabb averages roughly 6 residential approvals per annum, accumulating 33 approved dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 4 approvals have been logged. In the context of recent population contraction, this influx of housing supply has likely matched local demand and preserved choices for buyers. New residential construction registers an average expected building cost of $676,000, underscoring building activity skewed toward high-end, premium housing. Furthermore, $4.5 million in non-residential commercial approvals has been registered during this financial year, underscoring the locality's predominantly residential character.

Per capita residential development in Tyabb trails Greater Melbourne by 62.0%, reflecting a considerably subdued construction pipeline. A constrained pipeline of this magnitude often reinforces demand and capital values across established homes. This pace also falls behind nationwide figures, signaling established market conditions and potential planning or physical constraints. Standalone houses account for 83.0% of new residential development approvals, whereas townhouses and units comprise 17.0%, preserving the traditional low-density suburban landscape oriented toward families desiring space. A ratio of 999 people per approved dwelling illustrates the area's calm, low-intensity development climate. Long-term demographic models indicate Tyabb will expand by 394 residents through 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Should current construction volumes persist, housing supply could find it challenging to accommodate incoming population growth, a dynamic that could intensify buyer competition and underpin residential property values.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 295 applications for Tyabb, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

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 — 84 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,449 at the 2021 Census → 3,504 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 (SAL22594). 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 Tyabb 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 Tyabb 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 Tyabb 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
