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
Derrimut has an estimated 8,958 residents, up from 8,653 at the 2021 Census — a change of 305 people, or 3.5%. That puts 676 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 by AreaSearch, the population of Derrimut stands at approximately 8,958 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 305 individuals (3.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 8,653 residents. This adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 8,958 for June 2025 alongside 65 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population size results in a density of 675 persons per square kilometer, which offers ample space per resident and opportunities for future expansion. The 3.5% population rise in Derrimut since the 2021 census outperformed the SA3 region (2.1%), establishing it as a primary driver of growth locally.
The main driver of this expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 66.8% of the total population increase in recent times. AreaSearch adopts the 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this information, AreaSearch applies the 2023 Regional/LGA projections from the Victorian State Government, adjusting them through a weighted aggregation of population expansion from the LGA level to the SA2 level. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections indicate a substantial rise in population that ranks in the top national quartile, with the locality projected to add 2,217 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative gain of 24.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
21 new dwellings have been approved in Derrimut over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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
Around 4 residential building approvals have been granted annually in Derrimut, amounting to 21 properties over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 5 approvals have been documented. Since the locality has seen a shrinking population, the housing supply has remained sufficient to meet demand, resulting in a balanced market offering good options for buyers, while new dwellings are being constructed at an average cost of $272,000—a figure below the regional standard—signifying more economical options for purchasers. Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $7.1 million have been logged during the current financial year, pointing to a modest focus on commercial construction.
Relative to Greater Melbourne, Derrimut exhibits a very low volume of building activity (84.0% below the regional per capita average). This limited supply of new dwellings generally bolsters demand and valuations for pre-existing homes. This rate is also below the national standard, reflecting the established status of the locality and suggesting potential planning restrictions. Additionally, all recent construction consists of detached houses, maintaining the low-density character of the neighborhood with a focus on stand-alone homes that appeal to buyers seeking space. An estimated ratio of 2978 people in the locality for each dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-intensity development landscape. Long-term projections indicate that Derrimut will gain 2,217 residents by 2041 (using the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch). If current building rates do not change, the supply of homes may not keep pace with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

4,952 residents of Derrimut are employed, from a labour force of 5,205. Unemployment sits at 4.9%, with participation at 76.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,181, about 147% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 workforce in Derrimut is highly educated and distributed across various industries, showing an unemployment rate of 4.9% and an estimated annual job growth rate of 1.7%. In March 2026, there were 4,952 employed residents, with the unemployment rate closely matching the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, while the rate of workforce participation is significantly elevated (76.0% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne). Census data indicates that a moderate 22.4% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic lockdowns. The resident workforce is largely employed in transport, postal & warehousing, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing.
The locality displays a particularly strong concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, where employment levels reach 2.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 6.3% of local employment compared to 10.1% across the region. With a ratio of 1.5 workers for every local resident at the time of the Census, the locality serves as a major employment center, offering more jobs than it has residents and drawing commuters from neighboring suburbs. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the 12-month timeframe saw a 1.7% rise in employment alongside a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, which lifted the unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. This differs from Greater Melbourne, which recorded a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% expansion in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term national employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context regarding future demand in Derrimut. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Derrimut suggests that local jobs will grow by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 — 65 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,653 at the 2021 Census → 8,958 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 (213011570). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
