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 population of Churchill stands at approximately 12,335 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 423 residents (3.6%) from the 11,912 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. The calculation is based on the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 12,325 alongside 179 validated new addresses registered after the Census. With this population level, the density is 15.5 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious living environment. Churchill outpaced the broader SA3 region's growth rate of 2.8% with its 3.6% increase, establishing it as a frontrunner for growth locally.
Natural increase was the main driver of this expansion, accounting for roughly 59.5% of the population rise in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 locality. Where such data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset, adapted by weighting and aggregating population growth from the LGA scale to SA2 boundaries. Age group growth distributions derived from these aggregates are extended to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic outlooks indicate that regional areas nationwide will experience expansion rates exceeding the median, with this specific territory anticipated to gain 1,875 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, translating to a 15.1% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
350 new dwellings have been approved in Churchill over the past five years, an average of 70 a year. That places the area in the 52nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 43, 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
An average of approximately 70 new residential approvals has been recorded annually in Churchill, representing 350 total dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 40 approvals have been documented. The ratio of new arrivals stood at 1.6 residents per completed dwelling per year over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, pointing to balanced supply and demand conditions and market stability, although this metric rose to 3.5 individuals per home over the recent 2 financial years, highlighting heightened demand and possible capacity limits. Construction costs for new residences average $229,000, which falls below the regional baseline and points to more accessible pricing for buyers.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $13.3 million during this financial year, showing moderate non-residential development. Churchill tracks closely with the Rest of Vic. in per capita building rates, preserving a market equilibrium aligned with the wider region, even though construction momentum has softened lately. Concurrently, all recent residential development consists of single-family detached homes, which reinforces the low-density character of the area and draws buyers looking for extra space. A low-intensity building landscape is highlighted by the ratio of 381 people in the area for every building approval. Looking forward, the population of Churchill is projected to rise by 1,865 individuals by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Current construction volumes appear to match projected demands, supporting stable market dynamics without causing significant upward pressure on home prices.

The $2 billion project involves decommissioning infrastructure, re-profiling slopes, restoring waterways, and features three development zones: Tourism Belt near Morwell, Mine Lake heart, and Productivity Hub. Includes visitor facilities and follows an EES process with a 10-35 year completion timeline.
Marinus Link - Victorian Converter Station
The Victorian Converter Station at Hazelwood is a critical component of the 1500 MW Marinus Link HVDC interconnector. It converts direct current from subsea and underground cables to alternating current for the National Electricity Market. Stage 1 (750 MW) construction is scheduled to commence in 2026, following the Victorian Minister for Planning's positive environmental assessment in May 2025 and the Australian Energy Regulator's final cost decision in February 2026.
5,888 residents of Churchill are employed, from a labour force of 6,166. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 60.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,139, about 90% 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
Churchill is characterized by a workforce with solid skill levels and strong representation in key service sectors, alongside a jobless rate of 4.5% and a 4.2% rise in employment over the previous year. Employed residents numbered 5,888 in March 2026, with an unemployment rate sitting 0.8% higher than the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%, while the rate of participation in the labor force matches the Regional Vic. level of 61.1%. Census records show a moderate 15.7% of the working population operating from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The area exhibits a high concentration of jobs in electricity, gas, water & waste utilities, with representation reaching 4.7 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is less prominent, employing 5.4% of local workers compared to 7.5% across Regional Vic. The comparison between the local working population and the resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat scarce. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, employment rose by 4.2% and the labor force grew by 3.4% during the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a 0.8 percentage point drop in the jobless rate. During the same timeframe, Regional Vic. saw employment fall by 0.1% and the labor force contract by 0.3%, resulting in a decrease of 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context regarding long-term workforce requirements in Churchill. These five- and ten-year national projections were applied to the local workforce distribution to project future trends. Although total national employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Adjusting these projections to fit Churchill's specific industry distribution suggests local jobs could grow by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for comparison and excludes localized population models.

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 — 179 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,912 at the 2021 Census → 12,335 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.
