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.

Growth has averaged 3.9% a year over five years, faster than 83% of areas nationally. 942 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

Detail
According to research by AreaSearch, the resident count of Baranduda - Leneva is approximately 14,605 in May 2026. Since the 2021 Census, which documented 12,778 residents, this represents an addition of 1,827 individuals (14.3%). This transition is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 14,579 alongside 942 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 58 persons per square kilometer, indicating low-density living. The growth rate of 14.3% since the 2021 census outperformed both the SA3 area (2.4%) and the wider SA4 region, placing the locality ahead of nearby districts.
The expansion was chiefly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 59.2% of the total population increases, with natural increase and overseas migration also contributing positively. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2. For localities missing from this dataset, Victorian State Government projections from 2023 are applied, with adjustments made by aggregating population growth weights from LGA to SA2 tiers. The age cohort growth patterns from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the span from 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the district is projected to experience rapid expansion, ranking in the top 10 percent of non-metropolitan Australia, with an estimated rise of 8,802 individuals by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a 60.1% increase over the 16 years.

7,962 residents of Baranduda - Leneva are employed, from a labour force of 8,115. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 71.7%. 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, 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 12,863, about 88% 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 in Baranduda - Leneva is highly trained, with strong representation in critical public service roles and a very low unemployment rate of 1.9%. As of March 2026, working residents total 7,962, representing an unemployment rate that is 1.8% lower than the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%, while the participation rate is exceptionally high at 71.7% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic.. Census data indicates that only 11.6% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been affected by pandemic-era lockdowns. The primary sectors employing local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Public administration & safety is highly concentrated, with a local employment share 2.9 times that of regional Victoria. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, employing only 1.9% of local workers compared to 7.5% in Regional Vic.. The balance between the local working population and resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities within the immediate area are relatively limited. Analysis of SALM and ABS figures by AreaSearch indicates that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the local labor pool contracted by 2.2% and total employment fell by 2.2%, while the unemployment rate remained stable. By comparison, Regional Vic. experienced a 0.1% drop in employment, a 0.3% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. Employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been integrated with the local industry mix to estimate future job trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Weighting these projections to the Baranduda - Leneva workforce profile indicates a local employment increase of 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry shares and excludes local population projections).

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 — 942 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,778 at the 2021 Census → 14,605 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 (204031491). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
