Endeavour Hills - North

Endeavour Hills - North is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Endeavour Hills - North's population was around 12,159 as of Nov 2025. This reflected an increase of 73 people (0.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 12,086 people. The change was inferred from the estimated resident population of 12,151 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 89 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equated to a density ratio of 840 persons per square kilometer, which was relatively in line with averages seen across locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 79.7% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopted ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilised the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections released in 2023 with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations were also applied across all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Anticipating future population dynamics, lower quartile growth of national statistical areas was anticipated, with the area expected to grow by 292 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 2.3% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Endeavour Hills - North, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Endeavour Hills - North has seen approximately 34 residential properties granted approval annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, around 172 homes were approved, with another 8 approved so far in FY26. The area's population decline suggests that new supply is likely meeting demand, offering buyers good choice.

New properties are constructed at an average value of $244,000, which is under regional levels, indicating more accessible housing choices for buyers. In the current financial year, $6.2 million in commercial approvals have been registered, suggesting limited focus on commercial development. Compared to Greater Melbourne, Endeavour Hills - North has significantly less development activity, at 54.0% below the regional average per person. This scarcity of new dwellings typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. Recent construction comprises 70.0% standalone homes and 30.0% medium and high-density housing, with a growing mix of townhouses and apartments providing options across different price points. This represents a notable shift from the area's existing housing composition, currently at 89.0% houses.

The estimated population per dwelling approval is 868 people, reflecting its quiet, low activity development environment. Future projections indicate Endeavour Hills - North adding 283 residents by 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
