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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the resident population of Bentleigh - McKinnon stands at approximately 27,015 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,119 people (8.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 24,896 residents. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 26,966 and 317 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting density of 4,343 persons per square kilometer ranks in the top 10% of all locations evaluated nationwide, highlighting the high demand for local land. The area's 8.5% growth rate since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region (8.0%), positioning it as a local growth leader.
This expansion was majorly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 92.4% of the population increase in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. For localities where this data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future projections suggest that the locality will experience population growth above the national median, with an expected increase of 5,902 individuals by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP figures, translating to a total growth of 21.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
734 new dwellings have been approved in Bentleigh - McKinnon over the past five years, an average of 146 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 101 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 30% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 107, well below that longer-run average.

Detail
Bentleigh - McKinnon has averaged approximately 146 annual residential development approvals, totaling 734 approved dwellings over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 99 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. An average increase of 2.1 new residents per built dwelling was recorded during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, which points to robust demand supporting local property values. Newly constructed homes carry an average building value of $448,000, which sits moderately above the regional average and points to a focus on premium builds. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $14.3 million during this financial year, reflecting a moderate volume of commercial development.
Bentleigh - McKinnon registers 11.0% less building activity per person than Greater Melbourne, while ranking in the 59th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide. Residential construction consists of 30.0% detached houses and 70.0% attached dwellings. The emphasis on higher-density housing options provides more affordable points of entry and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time home buyers. This represents a clear shift from the current housing stock, which is 58.0% houses, indicating a decreasing availability of developable land alongside changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability pressures. The market is developing, with roughly 256 people for each dwelling approval. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures, Bentleigh - McKinnon is projected to add 5,853 residents by 2041. If construction activity remains at its current pace, the supply of housing may not keep up with population growth, which could increase buyer competition and support upward pressure on property prices.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 22,698, about 84% 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 is highly educated, featuring a strong representation of professional services, an unemployment rate of just 3.6%, and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, there were 15,144 employed residents, with an unemployment rate 1.2% lower than the 4.8% rate in Greater Melbourne, while workforce participation matched the Greater Melbourne rate of 70.2%. Census data showed that a high proportion of residents, 45.7%, worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The local workforce shows a strong specialization in professional & technical services, with its share of employment reaching 1.4 times the regional average. In contrast, construction workers represent only 7.2% of the local workforce, compared to the regional average of 9.7%. This locality is primarily residential, and the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population indicates limited local employment opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that employment grew by 0.1% over the 12-month period, while the labor force shrank by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% growth in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand in Bentleigh - McKinnon. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against local employment structures to project potential patterns. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Bentleigh - McKinnon indicates that local employment would grow by 7.0% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, representing a simple weighted projection for illustration that does not incorporate local population 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 — 317 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (24,896 at the 2021 Census → 27,015 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.
