Chart Color Schemes
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.

Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count for Bentleigh East - North stands at roughly 17,942 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 16,583 individuals documented in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 1,359 residents (8.2%). This figure is determined utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population count of 17,873 alongside 193 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. Consequently, the population density reaches 3,900 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the top 10% of all Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch and underlining the intense demand for local property.
Over the preceding ten-year span, the locality maintained solid upward momentum, achieving a 1.6% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the surrounding SA3 district. Incoming overseas migration served as the principal catalyst for these gains, accounting for roughly 82.8% of recent population additions. Projections compiled by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset using 2022 as the base year for local SA2 territories. Where coverage is absent, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts are implemented through a weighted aggregation methodology converting LGA trends down to SA2 zones, with age-specific rates applied across regions from 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, Bentleigh East - North is anticipated to rank in the top quartile of population increases among AreaSearch-assessed locations, with the community projected to add 4,294 persons by 2041 based on current annual ERP metrics, representing cumulative 16-year growth of 23.6%.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,791, 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 labour market in Bentleigh East - North is defined by a skilled, qualified resident base with high concentrations in professional sectors and a 4.8% jobless rate. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 9,659, with both the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate matching the Greater Melbourne benchmarks of 4.8% and 70.1% respectively. Census returns indicated that 41.6% of workers carried out their duties from home, though this metric was shaped by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged across the retail trade, professional & technical, and health care & social assistance industries.
The area exhibits a distinct clustering in professional & technical fields, exceeding regional participation levels by 1.3 times. Conversely, industrial production represents a smaller component of the local workforce, with manufacturing engaging 5.3% of workers in Bentleigh East - North compared to 7.2% across Greater Melbourne. Given the discrepancy between the resident workforce and the operational Census working population, the suburb remains primarily residential with fewer employment hubs within its borders. AreaSearch assessment of data from the ABS and SALM indicates that during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.3% while total employment fell by 0.9%, driving an unemployment rate increase of 0.6 percentage points. Over the equivalent timeframe, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.3% expansion in its labor force, 2.1% growth in employment, and a 0.2 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide an indicator of future labour demand for Bentleigh East - North when mapped across local sector proportions. Nationally, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though industry trajectories diverge. When weighted against the resident occupational profile, local employment is projected to expand by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (note that this extrapolation serves illustrative purposes without accounting for localized demographic adjustments).

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 — 193 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,583 at the 2021 Census → 17,942 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 Aug 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 (208021426). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
