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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Diggers Rest stands at approximately 7,527 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 2,290 people (43.7%) from the 5,237 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. The fluctuation is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 7,434 alongside 691 validated new addresses identified after the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 145 persons per square kilometer, which offers substantial space per individual and opportunities for subsequent expansion. The 43.7% expansion rate of Diggers Rest since the 2021 census outpaced the state (9.3%) and the national benchmark, positioning it as a primary growth corridor.
This upward trend was mostly propelled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 70.1% of the total population rise in recent times, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, modified through a weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. Age bracket growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied across all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, the locality is expected to experience exceptional growth within the top 10 percent of areas nationwide, adding 7,380 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, which represents a total rise of 96.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,172 new dwellings have been approved in Diggers Rest over the past five years, an average of 234 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 31 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 181 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 133, well below 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
Dwelling approvals in Diggers Rest have averaged approximately 234 annually, resulting in 1,172 total residential approvals over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 122 approvals have been documented. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, there was an average of 2.4 new residents per year per dwelling, indicating a solid level of demand that should protect housing values. Newly built homes carry an average construction value of $243,000, which sits below regional averages and provides more budget-friendly options for buyers. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $235,000 during this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential focus of the locality.
Per capita, Diggers Rest records 136.0% more new dwelling approvals than Greater Melbourne, offering prospective buyers plenty of options despite a recent deceleration in building speed. This volume of construction is significantly higher than the national average, showing that builders have high confidence in the local market. Detached houses make up 96.0% of the new building activity, while townhouses or apartments constitute 4.0%, preserving the established low-density profile of the suburb and catering to families who prioritize space. The ratio of approximately 34 people per dwelling approval is typical of an expanding growth corridor. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, future population projections indicate that Diggers Rest will add 7,287 residents by 2041. Construction volumes are progressing in line with these population projections, although homebuyers could face increased rivalry as the number of residents rises.

4,296 residents of Diggers Rest are employed, from a labour force of 4,422. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 76.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% 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 5,652, about 75% 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
Diggers Rest features a capable workforce employed across multiple industries, with a jobless rate of only 2.8% and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, there were 4,296 working residents, and the unemployment rate sat 1.9% below the 4.8% recorded for Greater Melbourne. The labor force participation rate is high at 76.5% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne. According to Census data, 25.8% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and transport, postal & warehousing.
The transport, postal & warehousing category is highly concentrated, with a local employment share that is 2.1 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for only 6.0% of workers in Diggers Rest compared to 10.1% in Greater Melbourne. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident labor force suggests the suburb offers a limited number of local jobs. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch indicates that for the year ending March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 0.6% and total employment fell by 0.3%, which reduced the unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. During the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% rise in employment and a 2.3% increase in the labor force, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be examined using the national occupational forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate employment growth. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these national industry trends onto the existing workforce profile of Diggers Rest suggests local employment could expand by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for comparison that 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 — 691 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,237 at the 2021 Census → 7,527 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 (210041539). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
