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
As of Aug 2026, demographic assessments from AreaSearch place the resident population of Coburg North at approximately 8,949 people. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 8,425 people, this indicates an expansion of 524 people (6.2%). This figure is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 8,932 from June 2025 alongside 145 validated new addresses added after the census. With 1,833 persons per square kilometer, local population density sits above the broader benchmark observed across AreaSearch's national coverage. Over the preceding ten years, the community achieved steady momentum via a 1.4% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the wider SA3 area.
Inbound international arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 88.2% of recent net population additions. SA2 geographic modeling by AreaSearch incorporates population projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as baseline data. Where areas lack coverage in that release, figures draw from 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted by weighted aggregation to convert LGA trends to the SA2 level. For the 2032 to 2041 timeframe, age-cohort growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied uniformly across regions. Demographic forecasts indicate Coburg North will experience leading expansion within the top 10 percent of statistical areas across Australia, gaining 3,890 persons to 2041 relative to latest annual ERP population figures, amounting to an overall surge of 43.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
98 new dwellings have been approved in Coburg North over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% 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
Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), Coburg North recorded 98 homes approved for construction, averaging approximately 19 dwellings each year. In this timeframe, the local market maintained balanced conditions between supply and demand, seeing 1.6 new residents arrive for each newly approved residence. Approved residential building jobs carried an average construction cost of $488,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, non-residential building activity proved robust, with $44.6 million in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year. Per capita building approvals in Coburg North lag regional norms considerably, sitting 66.0% below the Greater Melbourne average.
Such limited additions to local housing stock generally support property values and heighten competition for established homes. Construction volumes are likewise low on a national scale, pointing to established neighborhood characteristics and potential planning boundaries. Among new residential approvals, detached houses constitute 45.0% while higher-density and medium-density options make up 55.0%. This leaning toward compact formats creates accessible options for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It contrasts sharply with the existing residential landscape (where separate houses make up 75.0%), reflecting diminishing infill sites alongside shifting consumer demand. The current ratio of approximately 514 people per approval underlines the community's mature status. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Coburg North is slated to welcome an extra 3,873 residents by 2041. If residential construction continues at its current subdued pace, building activity could fall behind population influxes, likely increasing buyer competition and putting upward pressure on real estate values.

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 pool in Coburg North is distinguished by extensive professional qualifications and prominent white-collar participation, maintaining a low unemployment rate of 3.0% and steady job numbers over the year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,245. The local jobless rate tracking 1.7% below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%, while the labor participation rate stood at 73.3%, surpassing the 70.1% recorded for Greater Melbourne.

The leading employment sectors for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training.
The suburb exhibits clear concentration in education & training, with employment concentration measuring 1.3 times the Greater Melbourne average. Conversely, building trades are less prevalent, employing 6.9% of local workers compared to 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. With 0.6 workers per resident recorded at the Census, the area offers a higher level of local jobs than typical benchmarks. According to ABS and SALM figures examined by AreaSearch, the past 12 months showed local employment expanding by 0.3% while the workforce decreased by 0.6%, resulting in a 0.9 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.1% increase in employment alongside a 2.3% gain in the labour pool, with the jobless rate ticking up by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in Mar-26 outline national employment growth expectations of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Mapping these industry projections onto Coburg North's specific industry distribution indicates local job counts could grow by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (calculated via simple industry weighting without factoring in localized population adjustments).

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 — 145 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,425 at the 2021 Census → 8,949 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.
