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
Demographic assessment by AreaSearch indicates that the resident count of Edithvale - Aspendale stands at approximately 14,463 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 13,563 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 900 people (6.6%). This upward trajectory is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 14,365 alongside 207 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With 2,835 persons per square kilometer, population density falls into the top national quartile evaluated by AreaSearch. Over the preceding ten-year span, the locality achieved steady momentum, generating a 0.9% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the broader SA3 territory.
Inward overseas migration served as the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 58.4% of total population expansion over recent intervals, though positive contributions were likewise recorded across interstate arrivals and natural increase. Projections published jointly in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 baseline figures, form the core of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. For locations omitted from that release, projections from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset are integrated via a weighted aggregation framework translating LGA trends to SA2 divisions. Furthermore, age-specific growth trajectories derived from these aggregations are applied to all territories for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to track marginally beneath the nationwide median, with local numbers forecasted to climb by 1,494 persons to 2041 under current annual ERP statistics, which denotes an overall 16-year expansion of 9.7%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
453 new dwellings have been approved in Edithvale - Aspendale over the past five years, an average of 90 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 91 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% 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
Residential building consents in Edithvale - Aspendale have tracked at approximately 90 dwellings annually, delivering 453 homes across the past 5 financial years. Balanced market conditions have prevailed across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), during which an average of 1.3 people arrived per completed dwelling, although this figure rose to 3.3 people per dwelling across the past 2 financial years, pointing toward heightened demand and emerging supply constraints. Approved residential works show an average construction value of $648,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on higher-end builds.
Meanwhile, commercial building approvals reached $10.4 million during this financial year, reflecting continuous commercial investment. Per capita construction activity in Edithvale - Aspendale outpaced Greater Melbourne (running 39.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), which has supported housing availability while upholding local demand, even though construction momentum has softened lately. The profile of newly approved dwellings divides into 36.0% detached houses and 64.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward medium- and high-density formats provides more accessible price thresholds for first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a noticeable transition from the established profile of 60.0% houses, responding to shrinking land availability as well as evolving lifestyle choices and buyer budgets. Recording roughly 210 people per approval, the area displays attributes of a changing residential market. According to the latest quarterly modeling from AreaSearch, Edithvale - Aspendale is anticipated to gain 1,396 residents by 2041. Provided current construction volumes persist, newly delivered dwellings should comfortably accommodate incoming population, fostering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling expansion beyond current projections.

8,015 residents of Edithvale - Aspendale are employed, from a labour force of 8,380. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 71.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,428, about 79% 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
The local workforce in Edithvale - Aspendale is characterized by high qualifications and strong representation within professional industries, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 4.4% and solid job stability over the past twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents total 8,015, while joblessness sits 0.4% below Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, and local participation rates align closely with the metropolitan figure of 70.1%. At the Census, 38.5% of working locals indicated they worked remotely, though this proportion was influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Resident employment centers predominantly on health care & social assistance, education & training, along with construction.
Notably, education & training represents a key local specialization, capturing an employment share 1.4 times the regional level. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing accounts for merely 3.1% of local employment, trailing Greater Melbourne's 5.2%. Comparing Census working population tallies against resident worker figures highlights the predominantly suburban nature of the district, which provides relatively limited employment within its own borders. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS data reveals that over the last 12 months, employment grew by 0.1% while the labour force shrank by 0.3%, leading to a decline in the unemployment rate of 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1% and labour force growth of 2.3%, which coincided with an increase in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts, dated Mar-26, provide additional perspective on anticipated future demand in the Edithvale - Aspendale region. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-level projections are applied to Edithvale - Aspendale's current employment composition, the area is expected to see employment grow by 6.7% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years. It is important to note that this calculation uses a straightforward weighting method for demonstration only and does not incorporate localized 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 — 207 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,563 at the 2021 Census → 14,463 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.
