This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Bacchus Marsh has an estimated 27,399 residents, up from 24,717 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,682 people, or 10.9%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years. 1,307 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 41.5% of that increase. That puts 140 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Bacchus Marsh stands at approximately 27,399 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,682 individuals (10.9%) from the 24,717 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This growth is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 27,183 and 1,307 confirmed new addresses registered after the Census. With these figures, the population density reaches 139 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and space for potential future building projects. The 10.9% population rise since the 2021 census outpaced the state growth of 9.3% and the countrywide benchmark, making it a regional leader in growth.
The primary contributor to these gains was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 41.5% of the growth, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch implements projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 data is unavailable, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA releases are used, adjusted via a weighted aggregation method to scale growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age cohort growth rates from these models are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic outlooks indicate population expansion that is above the median for national statistical areas, with expectations of adding 5,243 residents by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP data, which translates to a total increase of 18.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,387 new dwellings have been approved in Bacchus Marsh over the past five years, an average of 277 a year. That places the area in the 92nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 191 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 88% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 278, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Dwelling approvals in Bacchus Marsh have run at an annual average of about 277, resulting in 1,387 total residential approvals over the last 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 255 approvals have been logged. The ratio of population growth to new builds stood at 2.1 people per new residence constructed over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, indicating solid demand that helps sustain property values. The average construction cost for these new homes is $267,000, which falls below the average for the region and points to more accessible pricing for buyers.
Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $17.4 million this financial year, showing a moderate level of business development. Compared to Greater Melbourne, Bacchus Marsh displays much lower levels of construction activity, sitting 56.0% below regional average per person. This limited supply of new properties typically bolsters demand and values for existing stock. However, development levels are significantly higher than national figures, indicating strong builder confidence in the area. The mix of new construction is heavily weighted toward detached housing at 88.0%, with townhouses or apartments making up the remaining 12.0%, keeping the area low-density and appealing to buyers seeking space. Representing a growing region, Bacchus Marsh averages approximately 111 people per approval. Long-term projections indicate that Bacchus Marsh will gain 5,026 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Current construction volumes suggest that new residential supply will align well with this demand, offering favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond these population projections.

14,735 residents of Bacchus Marsh are employed, from a labour force of 15,407. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 70.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 23,404, about 85% 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
Bacchus Marsh possesses a capable labor force with solid representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 4.4%, and an annual employment growth rate estimated at 2.0%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 14,735, while the unemployment rate remained 0.4% lower than the 4.8% recorded in Greater Melbourne. Participation in the labor force aligns closely with the Greater Melbourne average of 70.2%. Census data indicates that a moderate 21.2% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. The local workforce is concentrated primarily in construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The construction sector shows a particularly high concentration, employing residents at 1.6 times the regional average rate. In contrast, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 5.4% of employment compared to 10.1% across the wider region. Comparing the count of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that the local area provides relatively few job opportunities within its own boundaries. Analysis of SALM and ABS figures by AreaSearch shows that in the year ending March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 2.0% and the total labor force expanded by 1.9%, keeping the unemployment rate steady. Over the same period in Greater Melbourne, employment grew by 2.1%, the labor force increased by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate ticked up by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional perspective on future local demand. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local employment structure to project growth trends. Globally, national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific rates onto the local workforce mix suggests Bacchus Marsh could see employment increases of 6.2% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, though this calculation is a basic weighted extrapolation and excludes localized demographic 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 — 1,307 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (24,717 at the 2021 Census → 27,399 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 (213041353). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
