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 latest calculations from AreaSearch, the resident count in Bundoora - North stands at approximately 8,014 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 664 individuals (9.0%) relative to the 2021 Census record of 7,350 citizens. The change is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 8,014 alongside 7 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. With these numbers, the area has a density of 1,697 persons per square kilometer, a figure that surpasses the typical density observed across nationwide locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The post-census growth rate of 9.0% lags just 0.3 percentage points behind the state level of 9.3%, indicating solid local expansion. This upward trend was largely fueled by overseas arrivals, who accounted for about 90.2% of the overall population gains during the recent timeframe. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as their starting point, are used by AreaSearch for each SA2. For localities lacking this specific coverage, AreaSearch applies the 2023 Victoria State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusting them via a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 tiers. Age cohort growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the period from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest remarkable growth that ranks in the top 10 percent of all statistical areas nationally, with the locality projected to add 5,045 residents by 2041 compared to the latest annual ERP numbers, translating to a total expansion of 63.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
29 new dwellings have been approved in Bundoora - North over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
New housing approvals in Bundoora - North have run at a yearly average of approximately 5, with 29 dwellings authorized over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 2 during FY-26 so far. Because the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) saw an average of 8.8 new residents move in for every completed home, demand is running far ahead of new construction, a mismatch that typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while the average expected construction cost for these new properties is $460,000—slightly higher than the wider region's average—pointing to a focus on higher-quality builds.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $22.9 million have been logged during this financial year, pointing to a steady stream of business-related development. Bundoora - North shows a much lower level of building activity when compared to Greater Melbourne. This limited supply of new dwellings generally bolsters demand and supports valuation growth for established properties. Building activity is also lower than the national average, reflecting a highly developed market and indicating potential supply-side bottlenecks. The mix of new construction is split evenly, with 50.0% being detached houses and 50.0% consisting of townhouses or apartments. This trend toward higher-density options offers more affordable entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a notable shift away from the existing housing stock (which is currently 67.0% houses), driven by a scarcity of buildable sites and the need to meet changing buyer preferences and budget constraints. With a ratio of roughly 1700 people for each approved dwelling, Bundoora - North shows the characteristics of a highly established market. Looking forward, Bundoora - North is projected to add 5,045 citizens by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection). If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing may not keep pace with this influx, which could escalate competition among buyers and underpin rising property values.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 workforce is characterized by high levels of education and strong representation in key public service sectors, alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.6% and a 2.1% expansion in employment over the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,889, while the local jobless rate sat 1.2% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, and overall labor participation was comparable to the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census figures also indicate that a substantial 28.0% of the working population operated from home, though this figure likely reflects the temporary influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. In contrast, the professional & technical services category has a smaller footprint locally, accounting for 7.9% of employment compared to 10.1% across the region. A ratio of 0.6 local workers for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a stronger availability of local jobs than is typical. AreaSearch's review of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 2.1% and the total labor force expanded by 2.9%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.8 percentage points. For comparison, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% lift in employment, a 2.3% rise in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context for prospective demand in Bundoora - North. These forecasts, which span five-year and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries will grow at very different rates. Applying these sectoral growth rates directly to the local employment mix yields a projected workforce increase of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (this represents a direct mathematical weighting for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,350 at the 2021 Census → 8,014 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (209041216). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
