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
Endeavour Hills - North has an estimated 12,177 residents, up from 12,086 at the 2021 Census. That puts 842 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the resident count for Endeavour Hills - North stands at approximately 12,177 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 91 individuals (0.8%) from the 12,086 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. The updated figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimate of 12,175 residents combined with 87 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level yields a density of 841 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with typical densities in similar studied locations. The primary driver of this population increase was international migration, which was responsible for roughly 77.8% of the total demographic growth in recent times.
Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied to each SA2 region. In cases where this data is unavailable, population projections are derived from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted by aggregating growth weights from the LGA level down to SA2 boundaries. Age group growth distributions from these calculations are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these recent annual ERP figures, future expansion is projected to align with the bottom quartile of national statistical regions, with the local population expected to rise by 218 individuals by 2041, representing a total increase of 1.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
172 new dwellings have been approved in Endeavour Hills - North over the past five years, an average of 34 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
On average, Endeavour Hills - North has seen approximately 34 residential building approvals annually, accumulating to 172 approved homes over the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 21 approvals during the current FY-26. This pace of construction is considered appropriate relative to the local population decline observed in the prior period, benefiting prospective buyers. The average estimated construction cost for these new properties is $244,000, which sits below regional benchmarks to present more affordable options. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $6.2 million have been logged in the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential profile of the neighborhood.
Residential building activity in Endeavour Hills - North is significantly subdued compared to Greater Melbourne, tracking at 54.0% below the regional per capita average. This restricted flow of new housing supply generally helps sustain demand and prices for pre-existing properties. This construction rate is similarly below the nationwide average, reflecting the mature state of the local area and potentially pointing to planning constraints. Recent approvals consist of 70.0% standalone houses and 30.0% medium to high-density dwellings, with a growing proportion of townhouses and apartments offering choices across different budgets, ranging from family residences to compact layouts. This pattern contrasts with the current housing stock, which is 89.0% houses, showing a reduction in vacant residential land and adapting to changing lifestyles that favor diverse, affordable living. The presence of 873 people per residential approval underscores the quiet and low-intensity development environment of the suburb. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, demographic projections indicate that Endeavour Hills - North will add 216 residents by 2041. Given ongoing construction patterns, the volume of incoming housing supply is poised to satisfy this demand comfortably, maintaining favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting a higher rate of population growth than currently anticipated.

6,442 residents of Endeavour Hills - North are employed, from a labour force of 6,829. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 66.0%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 9,422, about 77% 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

As of March 2026, there are 6,442 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.9% higher than the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%. Labor force participation is slightly lower than regional standards, registering at 66.0% compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census records show a moderate 22.4% of the working population worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of pandemic lockdown measures.
The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and manufacturing. The suburb has a notable concentration in manufacturing jobs, with representation reaching 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for 6.7% of local employment compared to 10.1% across the wider region.

Meanwhile, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1% and labour force growth of 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional perspective on anticipated future demand in Endeavour Hills - North. These forecasts span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to gauge potential growth trajectories. Over five years, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6%, while over ten years it is expected to rise by 13.7%, though these figures vary considerably across different industry sectors. When applied to the employment composition of Endeavour Hills - North, these sector-specific forecasts indicate that local employment should grow by 6.2% over five years and by 13.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 87 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,086 at the 2021 Census → 12,177 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 (212021453). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
