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 population of Berwick - North stands at approximately 23,683 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 720 people (3.1%) compared to the 22,963 people counted in the 2021 Census. These figures are derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 23,637 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 183 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density is calculated at 1,199 persons per square kilometer, a figure broadly consistent with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch's coverage. In recent times, population expansion across the locality has been almost entirely underpinned by overseas migration.
AreaSearch incorporates SA2-level population forecasts published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as a starting point. Where SA2 coverage is unavailable from this release, projections draw upon the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset, applying a weighted aggregation methodology from the local government area down to the SA2 level. Between the years 2032 to 2041, age-cohort growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied across all localities. Looking forward, population growth is projected to track slightly below the national statistical area median, with the district anticipated to add 1,686 persons to 2041 based on current annual ERP metrics, culminating in an overall expansion of 6.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
300 new dwellings have been approved in Berwick - North over the past five years, an average of 60 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 60 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 53% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. 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 Berwick - North have run at an annual pace of roughly 60 new dwellings, totaling 300 homes across the past 5 financial years (from FY-22 through FY-26). Given the population declines observed in recent periods, this construction volume has maintained adequate supply conditions for property purchasers. Newly built dwellings carry an average construction value of $833,000, signaling a clear development orientation toward upmarket and high-end residential stock. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $78.0 million have been documented during this financial year, underscoring substantial local non-residential development activity.
On a per capita basis, construction volumes in Berwick - North sit significantly lower than the broader region (55.0% below the Greater Melbourne average). Such restricted additions to local housing stock typically provide solid price support for established dwellings. Residential construction rates also trail national norms, highlighting the established profile of the suburb alongside potential planning controls. Of new dwelling approvals, standalone houses constitute 53.0% while townhouses and apartments account for 47.0%, demonstrating an increasing provision of medium-density housing that broadens options across multiple price points from standalone family residences to more affordable compact dwellings. This distribution diverges markedly from the prevailing housing stock (currently 82.0% standalone houses), pointing to constrained land availability for greenfield development alongside shifts in buyer affordability needs and living preferences. An average ratio of approximately 382 people per dwelling approval reflects a well-established property market. Based on recent quarterly calculations by AreaSearch, Berwick - North is projected to gain 1,640 residents by 2041. Ongoing building activity appears closely aligned with anticipated demographic demand, helping sustain balanced market fundamentals free from severe price pressures.

13,352 residents of Berwick - North are employed, from a labour force of 13,727. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 69.0%. 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. 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 labour market in Berwick - North displays strong skill levels and prominent representation across essential services, featuring an unemployment rate of only 2.7% alongside estimated annual jobs growth of 4.4%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 13,352, with local joblessness tracking 2.0% below the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while the labour force participation rate aligns closely with the regional mark of 70.1%. Census records indicated that 28.9% of local workers performed their duties from home, though this figure was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 health restrictions. Local workforce participants are largely concentrated across health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Construction represents a notable area of local specialization, employing a share of the workforce that is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively under-indexed, engaging only 7.8% of the local workforce relative to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. While some employment is situated within the suburb, a comparison of local jobs to working resident counts indicates that a substantial proportion of workers commute to employment centers elsewhere. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that employment grew by 4.4% and the labour force expanded by 4.5% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, which resulted in an increase of 0.1 percentage points in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1%, a labour force expansion of 2.3%, and an unemployment rise of 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context for potential future demand in Berwick - North. These projections span five and ten-year periods and have been overlaid with the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across industry sectors. When these sector-specific projections are applied to Berwick - North's employment composition, the area is expected to see a 6.5% increase in employment over five years and a 13.4% increase over ten years. This estimate relies on a straightforward weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 183 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (22,963 at the 2021 Census → 23,683 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 (212021293). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
