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
Based on analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Braybrook is approximately 20,983 as of May 2026. This represents an increase of 1,915 residents (10.0%) from the 19,068 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The calculation is based on the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 20,918, combined with 532 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The area has a density of 2,805 persons per square kilometer, which is in the highest quartile of national areas assessed by AreaSearch. The local growth rate of 10.0% since the 2021 census was higher than the Victorian state average (9.3%) and the national benchmark, making it a regional growth leader.
This population rise was mostly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 83.5% of the total demographic gains during recent times. AreaSearch implements demographic projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 data is unavailable, projections from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA release are applied, adjusting the LGA figures to SA2 level via weighted population growth aggregation. Age cohort growth rates from these models are also applied to all areas for the period 2032 to 2041. Future trends indicate significant population expansion in the highest national quartile, with the area projected to add 6,442 people by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to a 30.4% increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
911 new dwellings have been approved in Braybrook over the past five years, an average of 182 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 134 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 24% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 341, running ahead of 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
Braybrook averages approximately 182 residential building approvals per year, resulting in 911 new dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 313 approvals have been logged. The local market remains balanced as approximately 1.1 new residents moved to the area for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25. The average construction cost for these new dwellings is $257,000, which sits below regional averages and provides more affordable options for home buyers. Additionally, commercial development has shown momentum with $42.1 million in approvals registered during this financial year.
Compared to the wider Greater Melbourne region, per capita construction activity in Braybrook is at roughly three-quarters of the level, placing the suburb in the 81st percentile of localities nationwide. Recent building approvals consist of 24.0% detached houses and 76.0% medium or high-density dwellings such as townhouses and apartments. This focus on compact housing formats offers more affordable entry points for first-time buyers, investors, and downsizers. It marks a shift from the current housing stock, which is 47.0% detached houses, pointing to a lack of developable land and a growing demand for diverse housing types. Currently, there are about 137 people for each dwelling approval, pointing to an expanding local market. Demographic projections indicate that Braybrook is on track to add 6,375 residents by 2041, according to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current home building is keeping pace with this projected population increase, though incoming residents may face heightened competition for properties as the population grows.

12,088 residents of Braybrook are employed, from a labour force of 12,874. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 71.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 18,258, about 87% 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 characterized by high levels of qualification, with professional service workers well represented. The unemployment rate sits at 6.1%, while local employment expanded by an estimated 1.7% over the past year. In March 2026, the employed resident population stood at 12,088. This unemployment rate is 1.3% higher than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, though the participation rate aligns closely with the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census figures show that 28.6% of employed residents worked from home, although this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 restrictions. The main industries employing local residents are retail trade, accommodation & food services, and health care & social assistance.
The suburb exhibits a strong specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, which accounts for 1.5 times the employment share seen across the wider region. Conversely, construction jobs are underrepresented, making up 6.8% of local employment compared to 9.7% regionally. Because Braybrook is predominantly residential, it offers a limited number of local jobs, as seen in the discrepancy between the Census working population and resident population counts. According to SALM and ABS statistics compiled by AreaSearch, employment in the area grew by 1.7% and the total workforce expanded by 1.9% in the year leading up to March 2026, leading to a 0.2 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%, with its unemployment rate also rising by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context for future job demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Aligning these trends with the industry mix in Braybrook suggests local employment will grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population growth 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 — 532 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (19,068 at the 2021 Census → 20,983 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.
