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 research from AreaSearch, the resident count in Cranbourne East - North stands at roughly 25,111 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,696 people (7.2%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 23,415 people. Such growth is derived by combining the ABS Estimated Resident Population of 25,111 recorded in June 2025 with 71 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density reaches 2,276 persons per square kilometer, exceeding national benchmark figures compiled by AreaSearch. Across the prior ten years, the suburb expanded at a compound annual rate of 4.6%, outpacing the broader SA4 region.
Net overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic surge, generating around 57.4% of total population additions in recent periods. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries. Where specific coverage is absent, figures draw from 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases through weighted aggregations linking LGA trends to SA2 geographies, extending age-specific rates across all districts from 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, long-term projections rank Cranbourne East - North in the top 10 percent of regions evaluated nationally, with an expected intake of 12,468 persons through to 2041 according to recent annual ERP estimates, translating to a total cumulative increase of 49.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
251 new dwellings have been approved in Cranbourne East - North over the past five years, an average of 50 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 50 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% 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
Annual residential building approvals have averaged approximately 50 dwellings in Cranbourne East - North, accumulating to 251 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, an average of 6.9 people settled in the district per newly constructed residence each year, demonstrating that construction volumes are trailing demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices. Newly approved residential builds reflect an average expected construction cost of $343,000, which sits below regional benchmarks and highlights comparatively accessible building costs. Concurrently, commercial building approvals generated $1.4 million during the ongoing financial year, pointing to subdued non-residential development.
Residential building volumes per capita in Cranbourne East - North track 85.0% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark. While building activity has gained momentum recently, this muted pace of new construction often underpins values and demand across established properties. Approvals also trail nationwide averages, reflecting the established layout of the suburb alongside potential planning boundaries. Of the newly approved stock, standalone houses represent 94.0% while townhouses or apartments comprise 6.0%, reinforcing the suburban character centered around low-density housing that appeals to buyers seeking space. An approval ratio of around 979 people per approval illustrates a mature community. According to demographic projections from AreaSearch's latest quarterly calculations, Cranbourne East - North is poised to absorb 12,468 additional inhabitants by 2041. If residential construction volumes persist at current levels, housing output could lag behind population growth, potentially heightening competition for homes and reinforcing capital value growth.

That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 19,560, about 78% 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.

Workforce participation remains relatively typical at 73.7%, in contrast to Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. Census data indicates that a moderate 16.2% of residents worked from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade serve as the predominant employer industries for local residents. The area displays a strong specialization in manufacturing, where resident participation is 1.7 times the broader metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.3% of the resident workforce, trailing the regional standard of 10.1%. A comparison between resident workers and local job counts highlights the community's primarily residential character with limited workplace capacity within its borders. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that in the year to March 2026, local jobs grew by 4.0% while the workforce expanded by 4.3%, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw job gains of 2.1%, workforce expansion of 2.3%, and an unemployment rise of 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide indicative outlooks across five- and ten-year horizons when weighted against the local occupational profile. While nationwide employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies substantially; translating these figures across the Cranbourne East - North sector mix yields projected local job expansions of 6.3% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (representing a basic illustrative weighting that excludes localized demographic 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 — 71 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (23,415 at the 2021 Census → 25,111 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (212031557). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
