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.

Sales Detail
Corangamite - North has an estimated 5,208 residents, down from 5,395 at the 2021 Census — a change of 187 people, or 3.5%. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 98% of areas nationally. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, Corangamite - North has an estimated population of approximately 5,208 according to AreaSearch research. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,395 people, this indicates a reduction of 187 people (-3.5%). This calculation is derived from the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 5,201 alongside 79 validated new addresses added following the Census. The local population density stands at 2.1 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious living environment. The locality's -3.5% post-census contraction sits within 2.0 percentage points of the broader SA3 figure (-1.5%), mirroring regional demographic trends.
Furthermore, population growth was almost entirely underpinned by overseas migration across recent times. Projections for each SA2 district rely on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data anchored to 2022. Where specific SA2 figures are absent, AreaSearch incorporates 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, utilizing a weighted aggregation model to scale LGA growth down to SA2 zones. Age-specific growth rates from these models are similarly applied across all territories for the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these projected demographic patterns, Corangamite - North is anticipated to achieve population growth exceeding the median for Australia's non-metropolitan regions, expanding by 745 persons to 2041 according to the latest annual ERP statistics—representing an overall increase of 14.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
66 new dwellings have been approved in Corangamite - North over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential approvals in Corangamite - North average approximately 13 dwellings, totaling 66 homes authorized over the past 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26). Given the recent demographic contraction, construction volumes remain relatively solid, which benefits home buyers, while newly built properties carry an average construction value of $436,000. In addition, $14.6 million in commercial building permits have been logged during this financial year, indicating a moderate tempo of commercial construction. Building activity across Corangamite - North lags substantially behind Rest of Vic., trailing the regional per-capita benchmark by 51.0%.
This limited flow of new dwellings typically bolsters valuation and buyer interest across established stock. Construction levels also track below the national standard, pointing to potential planning hurdles and the mature profile of the locality. Furthermore, recent development consists exclusively of standalone houses, reinforcing the low-density landscape and catering to purchasers seeking detached space. The presence of roughly 479 people per approved dwelling highlights the tranquil, restrained building climate. According to the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Corangamite - North is on track to add 738 residents by 2041. Should current approval volumes persist, the addition of new housing may fall short of demographic expansion, potentially intensifying competition among purchasers and applying upward pressure on residential values.

2,535 residents of Corangamite - North are employed, from a labour force of 2,582. Unemployment sits at 1.8%, with participation at 58.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.2% 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 employment landscape in Corangamite North reflects a balanced mix of white and blue collar jobs across varied sectors, with an unemployment rate of 1.8%. By March 2026, 2,535 residents were employed, and the local unemployment rate stood at 1.9%, which is 1.9% lower than the 3.7% rate in Regional Vic. Workforce participation was slightly below the standard, at 58.0% versus 61.1% in Regional Vic. Census data indicated that 21.4% of residents worked from home, a figure that should be viewed with consideration for the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns. Resident employment is primarily centered within agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Notably, agriculture, forestry & fishing represents a significant regional specialisation, employing local residents at 4.1 times the rate seen across the wider region. Conversely, construction accounts for 7.1% of the local workforce, trailing the Regional Vic. mark of 10.4%. Although employment exists locally, comparisons between the Census resident workforce and local positions suggest substantial commuting to external employment centers. An examination of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the twelve months to March 2026, Corangamite - North recorded a 6.5% reduction in its total labour force and a 6.1% drop in working residents, while the unemployment rate decreased by 0.4 percentage points. Across Regional Vic., employment contracted by 0.1%, the workforce shrank by 0.3%, and unemployment eased by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provides further perspective on future labour demands. Applying these national sector outlooks—projecting 6.6% growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years—to the district's industry distribution suggests local employment could expand by 5.2% over five years and 11.7% over ten years (utilizing an unadjusted industry-weighting model for demonstration without localized demographic inputs).

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 — 79 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,395 at the 2021 Census → 5,208 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.
