Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Deer Park

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Deer Park has an estimated 18,388 residents, up from 18,004 at the 2021 Census — a change of 384 people, or 2.1%. That puts 2,276 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

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Deer Park's population is around 18,388 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 384 people (2.1%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 18,004 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 18,368 from the ABS as of June 2025 and an additional 40 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,275 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 68.6% of overall population gains during recent periods.

According to the 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 as their starting point, AreaSearch anticipates future demographic trends. In cases where these projections do not cover specific SA2 regions, data from the 2023 Victoria State Government Regional/LGA projections are adjusted using weighted aggregation of population expansion from the local government area level down to the SA2 level. The age bracket growth rates calculated from these aggregations are also projected forward for the timeframe spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the population is predicted to expand at a rate exceeding the national median, with expectations of adding 3,271 persons to 2041 when measured against the most recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to a total rise of 17.7% over the course of the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Deer Park

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

119 new dwellings have been approved in Deer Park over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 20, 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

In terms of residential planning and local growth, Deer Park has averaged approximately 23 dwelling approvals per year, resulting in a total of 119 new homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in the course of FY-26, there have been 19 approvals recorded. As a result of a shrinking population over recent periods, the supply of housing has remained sufficient to meet local needs, ensuring a balanced property market with ample options for buyers, while newly built homes carry an average construction cost of $268,000, which falls below regional benchmarks and points to more budget-friendly building costs.

Additionally, there have been $1.8 million in approvals for commercial projects during this financial year, representing very minor commercial building activity. When compared to Greater Melbourne, property construction activity in Deer Park is significantly lower, falling 56.0% below the regional average per capita. This constrained volume of new building completions typically helps maintain demand and supports the value of existing homes. This level of construction is also below the national standard, which highlights the established character of the suburb and points to possible regulatory planning constraints. Newly approved construction is composed of 32.0% detached houses and 68.0% townhouses or apartments. This preference for denser housing structures offers affordable entry points for buyers, appealing particularly to downsizers, property investors, and first-time purchasers. This represents a clear departure from the current housing mix, which is currently made up of 87.0% houses, showing that vacant building sites are becoming scarce while reflecting evolving lifestyles and the demand for more varied and affordable housing designs. Having approximately 1052 residents for every approved dwelling demonstrates that the local building market is highly mature. Projecting forward, the population of Deer Park is forecast to rise by 3,251 residents through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If current building approval rates continue unchanged, the rate of new housing construction may fail to match population growth, which would likely heighten competition among buyers and support future price growth.

Frequently Asked Questions - Development

How many dwelling approvals have occurred in the Deer Park SA2 recently?
Dwelling approval activity in the the Deer Park SA2 area has seen 36 residential approvals over the past two financial years, based on AreaSearch's SA2 aggregation method. The Deer Park SA2's current population of 18,388 has been supported by 23 approvals on average over recent years.
How does the Deer Park SA2's development activity compare to the broader region?
The Deer Park SA2 has seen 0.13 approvals per 100 people in recent years, compared to 0.9 approvals in the broader region. This means that one dwelling has been approved for every 1052 people in the Deer Park SA2, compared to one for every 125 in the broader region.
Is the Deer Park SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 3,251 people by 2041, around 1,084 new dwellings will be necessary. Recent approval levels may be insufficient to meet these forecasts, considering the census average of 3.0 persons per dwelling. This indicates potential housing shortages if current approval trends continue.

Looking at development activity over the past five years, the Deer Park SA2's approval levels have been significantly below the yearly average of 23, showing a notable downturn in recent development.

This equates to a ratio of 42.6 people added for each new dwelling approval. This high ratio suggests strong population growth relative to housing supply, potentially indicating unmet housing demand.
Are there opportunities for residential developers in the Deer Park SA2?
With dwelling approval activity running at an average of 23 approvals per year and a population of 18,388, there appears to be a supply shortfall relative to projected demand, presenting strong opportunities for residential developers. With the population expected to increase by 3,251 people by 2041, around 1,084 new dwellings will be necessary. Current approval trends may be insufficient to meet forecast demand, indicating strong development opportunities.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 2 applications for Deer Park, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

In comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1%, labor force growth of 2.3%, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a broader outlook on job trends in Deer Park.

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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,004 at the 2021 Census → 18,388 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (213011569). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Deer Park SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Deer Park page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Deer Park data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
