Chart Color Schemes
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.

Cranbourne South has an estimated 27,946 residents, up from 17,400 at the 2021 Census — a change of 10,546 people, or 60.6%. Growth has averaged 12.2% a year over five years, faster than 98% of areas nationally. 4,109 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 78.4% of that increase. That puts 342 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Cranbourne South stands at approximately 27,946 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 10,546 individuals (60.6%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 17,400 residents. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 27,374 alongside 4,109 validated new addresses registered since the census. With these figures, the population density reaches 342 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial capacity for future expansion. The expansion rate of 60.6% since the 2021 census is far higher than the state average of 9.3% and the national benchmark, positioning the area as a leader in regional growth.
This upward trajectory was chiefly driven by relocation from other states, which accounted for roughly 78.4% of the total population increase, although natural increases and international migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch implements projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method to translate population increases from LGA to SA2 levels. The age structure growth rates derived from these aggregations are applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the locality is projected to experience extraordinary demographic expansion, ranking in the top 10 percent of all statistical areas nationwide. It is anticipated to gain 29,040 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 101.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
4,983 new dwellings have been approved in Cranbourne South over the past five years, an average of 996 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 36 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 846 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 778, broadly in line with 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
Over the last 5 financial years, Cranbourne South has registered an average of approximately 996 residential building approvals per year, resulting in a total of 4,983 new homes. In the current FY-26 period, 714 approvals have been logged. The ratio of new arrivals to new home construction stood at 2.4 people per home annually between FY-21 and FY-25, highlighting consistent demand that helps sustain property values. The average construction cost for these new dwellings is $296,000, aligning with typical regional trends. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $109.8 million during this financial year, demonstrating substantial investment in the local business sector.
Building activity per capita in Cranbourne South is 242.0% higher than in Greater Melbourne, providing prospective purchasers with a wider selection of properties. This volume is also considerably higher than the national benchmark, reflecting intense developer interest. The new housing supply is composed of 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% semi-detached properties or units, preserving the established low-density aesthetic of the suburb and catering to families prioritizing space. The ratio of roughly 23 residents per building approval is typical of a developing urban fringe. According to the latest quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Cranbourne South is expected to add 28,462 residents by 2041. Given ongoing construction patterns, the supply of new housing is projected to satisfy this demand, maintaining favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population growth rates above current estimates.

14,300 residents of Cranbourne South are employed, from a labour force of 14,836. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 72.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 23,186, about 83% 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
Cranbourne South is characterized by a skilled resident workforce, with a high concentration of workers in the building trades, a low unemployment rate of 3.6%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.5% over the past twelve months. As of March 2026, 14,300 local residents are employed. The unemployment rate is 1.2% lower than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, while the labor participation rate is slightly elevated at 72.5% compared to 70.2% across the metropolitan area. Data from the Census indicates that a moderate 20.5% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are building and construction, healthcare and social assistance, and retail trade. The representation of construction workers is particularly high, running at 1.7 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional and technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 5.0% of employment compared to 10.1% across the wider region. The comparison between the census day working population and the resident labor force suggests that this heavily residential suburb offers few local employment opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the year leading up to March 2026, the employed population grew by 3.5% and the total labor force expanded by 4.5%, leading to a 0.9 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1%, the labor force grow by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate increase by 0.2 percentage points. Long-term employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future labor demand in Cranbourne South. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry mix to model growth. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with significant variation among sectors. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local workforce structure indicates that employment among Cranbourne South residents could grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that excludes localized population changes.
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Cranbourne South is $2,228 a week (about $116,000 a year), with median personal income at $953 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $56,049 a year against an average of $62,620. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
Tax data compiled by AreaSearch for the 2023 financial year indicates that incomes in the Cranbourne South SA2 are below the national benchmark. Taxpayers in the area recorded a median income of $56,049 and an average income of $62,620, compared to Greater Melbourne averages of $57,688 and $75,164 respectively. Adjusting these figures for a 9.62% increase in the Wage Price Index since the 2023 financial year yields estimated current values of $61,441 for median income and $68,644 for average income as of March 2026. However, 2021 Census data shows that household, family, and individual incomes are relatively high, placing between the 73rd and 79th percentiles nationally.
The largest income bracket contains 44.7% of residents (12,491 people) earning between $1,500 - 2,999, which is higher than the regional average of 32.8% in the same bracket. Although high housing costs absorb 17.2% of household income, strong earnings keep disposable income at the 77th percentile, while the SEIFA index places the area in the 5th decile for income.

The standardised death rate runs at 6.2 per 1,000 residents. Health conditions, assistance needs and insurance are 2021 Census measures; the death rate comes from current ABS releases.
Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of mortality data and the prevalence of long-term illnesses, health outcomes in Cranbourne South are below average. Chronic conditions are common among both younger and older cohorts, and the rate of private health insurance is relatively low, covering approximately 50% of the population (~14,084 people). This compares to coverage rates of 56.7% across Greater Melbourne and a national average of 55.7%. Asthma and mental health conditions are the most prevalent diagnosed illnesses in the suburb, affecting 8.1% and 7.0% of the population, respectively. However, 74.6% of residents reported having no long-term health conditions, which is higher than the 72.6% average for Greater Melbourne.
The working-age cohort is generally healthy with low rates of illness. Seniors aged 65 and older make up 9.0% of the population (2,523 people), compared to 15.0% across Greater Melbourne. Health status within this older group presents challenges, with national rankings matching those of the broader community.

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 — 4,109 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (17,400 at the 2021 Census → 27,946 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.
