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.

Growth has averaged 6.0% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 358 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 91.0% of that increase. That puts 1,274 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 figures compiled for the surrounding region and subsequent address data verified by AreaSearch, the suburb of Williamstown North has a projected population of approximately 2,280 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 658 residents (40.6%) compared to the 2021 Census, when the population stood at 1,622 people. This growth is calculated from an estimated baseline of 2,269 residents determined by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an additional 358 validated new addresses recorded after the census. The population level results in a density of 1,273 persons per square kilometer, a figure that sits above the typical density of national locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 40.6% rate of expansion in the suburb of Williamstown North since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (6.8%) and the state, positioning the locality as a regional leader in population growth. This growth was largely fueled by arrivals from overseas, who accounted for roughly 91.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point. In instances where SA2 details are missing, population forecasts from the VIC State Government released in 2023 are applied, with adjustments made by aggregating municipal growth patterns to the SA2 level. The age-specific growth rates derived from this process are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections for the suburb of Williamstown North suggest a downward trajectory, with the total population expected to decrease by 151 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, expansion is anticipated within particular age cohorts, led by the 75 to 84 bracket, which is expected to rise by 93 people. Refer to the age section for further details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
226 new dwellings have been approved in Williamstown North over the past five years, an average of 45 a year. That places the area in the 82nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 20 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 28% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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 evaluations of building approvals from the ABS indicate that Williamstown North averages roughly 45 annual approvals for residential projects. A total of 226 residential units were approved across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 11 approved during the current FY-26. Over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of 2.5 residents moved to the suburb for each new residence built, demonstrating solid demand that is likely to bolster property values. The average construction value of these new dwellings stands at $644,000, which indicates that developers are focusing on the high-end residential market.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $2.1 million during this financial year, indicating that development is overwhelmingly residential. Compared to the broader Greater Melbourne region, development activity per capita in Williamstown North is 175.0% higher, offering prospective buyers a wider array of options despite a deceleration in building work in recent times. This volume is notably higher than the national standard, reflecting strong builder interest in the locality. The mix of new construction consists of 28.0% standalone houses and 72.0% medium and high-density dwellings. This focus on denser projects offers affordable entry pathways and attracts downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. The ratio of roughly 93 people for each approved dwelling reflects the attributes of a growing suburb. Faced with flat or shrinking population projections, Williamstown North could see reduced pressure on housing supply, creating advantageous dynamics for prospective purchasers.

1,159 residents of Williamstown North are employed, from a labour force of 1,193. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 59.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 3,233, about 142% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Williamstown North boasts a highly educated labor pool, with the tech industry standing out for its strong presence, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and an estimated employment growth of 3.0% over the previous year, according to data aggregated by AreaSearch. By March 2026, there were 1,159 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate sat at 1.8% below Greater Melbourne's 4.8% figure, while workforce participation fell well short at 59.3% relative to the metropolitan area's 70.2%. Census data indicates that 41.2% of residents worked from home, although this figure should be viewed in light of the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdown measures.
The local workforce is primarily employed in construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The suburb exhibits a clear specialization in finance & insurance, where the proportion of workers is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 10.5% of local employment, which is lower than the Greater Melbourne figure of 14.2%. Registering 1.4 jobs for every resident at the time of the Census, the locality serves as a employment provider, drawing commuting workers from surrounding neighborhoods. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data for the broader region, the 12-month period recorded a job growth rate of 3.0% alongside a 2.9% rise in the active labor force, keeping the overall rate of unemployment steady. This contrasts with Greater Melbourne, which experienced a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. The national employment forecasts from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand within Williamstown North. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local employment profiles to project growth. While overall national employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific projections to the employment profile of Williamstown North suggests local jobs will grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not account for specific local population forecasts).

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 — 358 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,622 at the 2021 Census → 2,280 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.
