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.

Bayswater has an estimated 13,404 residents, up from 12,589 at the 2021 Census — a change of 815 people, or 6.5%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 161 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 82.0% of that increase. That puts 1,667 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 Bayswater stands at approximately 13,404 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 815 residents (6.5%) from the 12,589 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,388 combined with 161 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The region has a population density of 1,667 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure for national locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The 6.5% expansion rate in Bayswater since the 2021 census was faster than both the SA3 area (3.1%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a frontrunner for growth in the local area.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 82.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. For projections across each SA2 area, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. In cases where SA2 areas lack coverage in this dataset, AreaSearch uses the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusting them via weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections suggest the district will experience population growth above the national median, with expectations to add 1,811 people by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 13.4% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
388 new dwellings have been approved in Bayswater over the past five years, an average of 77 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 61 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 51, well below 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
Bayswater records about 77 residential building approvals annually, which amounts to 388 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, there have been 47 approvals registered so far. With an average of 1 new resident per year moving in for each new dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the relationship between housing supply and demand appears balanced, supporting a steady market environment. Meanwhile, new structures are being built at an average cost of $312,000, which aligns with broader regional construction trends.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $51.6 million so far in the current financial year, pointing to active investment in the local business sector. In comparison to Greater Melbourne, Bayswater shows a relatively high level of residential building activity (31.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), which provides buyers with diverse options while helping maintain existing property values. The mix of new construction comprises 36.0% detached houses and 64.0% multi-dwelling units like townhouses or apartments. This pivot towards higher-density housing offers more affordable entry points and attracts down-sizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the current housing stock (where houses make up 62.0%), indicating a reduction in available undeveloped land and reflecting changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability factors. With a ratio of approximately 205 people per approval, Bayswater is characterized as an expanding area. Demographic projections indicate that Bayswater will add 1,795 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Looking at current construction trends, the pipeline of new housing should comfortably accommodate this demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current forecasts.

7,196 residents of Bayswater are employed, from a labour force of 7,613. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 67.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 16,856, about 126% 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
The local workforce in Bayswater is well-educated, with a notable presence in industrial and manufacturing fields, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.5% and an estimated annual job growth rate of 1.5%. As of March 2026, there are 7,196 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.7% higher than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, while the labor participation rate of 67.3% is lower than the Greater Melbourne average of 70.2%. Census figures indicate that a high proportion of residents, 26.7%, worked from home, although this data may have been influenced by COVID-19 containment measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and manufacturing. The suburb is highly specialized in manufacturing, with its employment concentration in this sector measuring 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services employ 7.9% of the local workforce, which is lower than the Greater Melbourne figure of 10.1%. With a ratio of 1.1 workers for every local resident at the time of the Census, the area operates as a employment hub, offering more jobs than there are resident workers and drawing commuters from neighboring areas. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the number of employed persons grew by 1.5% and the labor force expanded by 1.8%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labor force grow by 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future trends in Bayswater. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been compared against the local employment structure to project local trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Bayswater suggests local employment could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not account for localized population growth 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 — 161 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,589 at the 2021 Census → 13,404 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.
