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 Surrounds has an estimated 6,802 residents, up from 6,559 at the 2021 Census — a change of 243 people, or 3.7%. Growth has averaged 0.9% a year over five years. 180 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 Surrounds stands at approximately 6,802 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 243 individuals (3.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,559 people. This population adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 6,770 from June 2025 alongside 180 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Based on these figures, the density of the area is 6.5 persons per square kilometer, indicating residents enjoy a significant amount of personal space. The 3.7% expansion rate since 2021 surpassed the wider SA3 region's 2.7% growth, positioning the area as a local leader in population gains.
The primary driver of this growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 50.4% of the overall increase, though natural increase and overseas migration also contributed positively. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised for each SA2 region. For sectors lacking this dataset, estimates rely on the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via a weighted aggregation methodology that scales LGA population growth to SA2 levels. The age cohort growth rates from these models are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on this approach, long-term demographic trends suggest a downward trajectory for the overall population, with a projected loss of 460 persons by 2041. Conversely, expansion is predicted within particular age brackets, most notably the 25 to 34 cohort, which is expected to grow by 129 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
207 new dwellings have been approved in Bacchus Marsh Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 90% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 32, 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
Residential building approvals in Bacchus Marsh Surrounds average approximately 41 new homes annually, with a total of 207 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 30 approvals have been documented. With an average influx of 1.5 new residents per constructed dwelling recorded over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand and supply appear well-balanced, supporting a stable local market. The average value of these newly built homes is $323,000. Additionally, commercial development remains a minor focus, with commercial approvals totalling $4.3 million so far this financial year.
Building activity per capita in Bacchus Marsh Surrounds is 11.0% lower than in the Rest of Vic., placing the region in the 67th percentile of all areas analysed across the nation. The mix of new construction is heavily weighted towards single-family homes, with detached dwellings representing 90.0% of approvals and medium to high-density options making up the remaining 10.0%, thereby maintaining the low-density character of the suburb and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. The market's low-density nature is further highlighted by a ratio of approximately 217 people per single dwelling approval. Given that the population is projected to stabilize or decrease, the demand on local housing should ease, which may present favorable opportunities for prospective property buyers.

3,685 residents of Bacchus Marsh Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 3,768. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 67.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,894, about 87% 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 workforce in Bacchus Marsh Surrounds is characterised by a high level of skill, particularly within vital service sectors, alongside a low unemployment rate of 2.2% and steady employment figures over the prior year. Jobholders numbered 3,685 as of March 2026, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.5% lower than the 3.7% recorded across Regional Vic. Furthermore, the participation rate of 67.0% is significantly higher than the Regional Vic. average of 61.1%. Data from the Census indicates a moderate 23.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of construction, health care & social assistance, and public administration & safety. The construction sector shows a particularly high concentration, employing workers at 1.5 times the regional average rate. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 11.9% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 16.8% average for Regional Vic. The comparison between the local working population and the resident population suggests a shortage of job opportunities within the immediate area. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics indicates that for the year ending March 2026, the local labour force grew by 0.4% while total employment dipped by 0.1%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.5 percentage points. In comparison, Regional Vic. saw employment fall by 0.1%, the labor force contract by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate decrease by 0.2 percentage points. Future demand trends in Bacchus Marsh Surrounds can be interpreted through national employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationwide employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries vary. Applying these trends to the industry mix of Bacchus Marsh Surrounds suggests local employment could grow by 6.1% over five years and 12.7% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population changes.

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 — 180 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,559 at the 2021 Census → 6,802 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 (201021009). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
