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.

Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. 198 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 58.4% of that increase.

Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the resident count of Edithvale - Aspendale stands at approximately 14,414 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 851 people (6.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 13,563 people. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 14,365 combined with 198 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 2,826 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the highest quarter of all Australian territories evaluated. Throughout the last decade, Edithvale - Aspendale has shown steady expansion with a 0.9% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the figures of the broader SA3 region.
This demographic growth was mostly driven by arrivals from overseas, which represented 58.4% of the population increase, though other factors such as natural increase and interstate migration also registered gains. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point are utilized for each SA2 district. Where such details are missing, estimations are derived from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, using a weighted aggregation method to translate growth from LGA levels to SA2 levels. The age structure growth patterns from these calculations are also applied to the years 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the population increase is projected to be slightly lower than the national median, with the locality expected to add 1,526 persons by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a 10.2% total growth over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
508 new dwellings have been approved in Edithvale - Aspendale over the past five years, an average of 101 a year. That places the area in the 73rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 78 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 63, 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
Yearly dwelling approvals in Edithvale - Aspendale have averaged approximately 101, with a total of 508 residential builds authorized during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 58 registered during the current FY-26. Given that 1.2 people relocated to the district for every new residence constructed over those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local demand matches supply closely, fostering a balanced market environment. The average construction cost of these new properties is $449,000, which is slightly higher than the regional average and points to a focus on higher quality builds.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $10.4 million in the current financial year, demonstrating steady non-residential construction activity. In comparison to the broader Greater Melbourne area, building activity in Edithvale - Aspendale is relatively high, standing at 36.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which supports local property values while offering options to buyers. Newly approved housing projects consist of 36.0% detached houses and 64.0% medium and high-density builds. This preference for denser housing structures provides affordable entry points and suits downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This is a clear change from the current housing mix of the area (which consists of 60.0% houses), indicating a decline in available land and reflecting modern lifestyle preferences for more varied, lower cost accommodation. With a ratio of roughly 153 people per approval, Edithvale - Aspendale remains categorized as a low density locality. Projections indicate that Edithvale - Aspendale will add 1,477 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. If current building trends persist, the supply of new housing is set to easily accommodate this growth, ensuring favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population expansion above the current forecasts.

In March 2026, there were 8,015 employed residents. The local unemployment rate sits 0.4% below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%, while participation in the workforce aligns closely with the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census data reveals that a high proportion of employed residents, specifically 38.5%, worked from home, although this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.

Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over the 12-month period, the number of employed persons grew by 0.1% while the overall labour force shrank by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labour force expand by 2.3%, with its unemployment rate increasing by 0.2 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide further context on expected employment demand in Edithvale - Aspendale. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce mix to estimate future job trends. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with significant variation across different industries. Applying these sector projections to the local employment structure suggests that employment in Edithvale - Aspendale will rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry shares without adjusting for local population changes.

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 — 198 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,563 at the 2021 Census → 14,414 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.
