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
Flinders has an estimated 6,066 residents, up from 5,995 at the 2021 Census — a change of 71 people, or 1.2%. Density is about 21 people per 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Flinders stands at approximately 6,066 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 71 individuals (1.2%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded 5,995 residents. The calculation is based on the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,064 along with 4 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level translates to a density of 21 persons per square kilometer, which indicates a low-density living environment with substantial space. Over the past ten years, Flinders has shown steady development with a compound annual growth rate of 0.8%, which is higher than the rate observed in the wider SA4 region.
Demographic expansion was mostly driven by arrivals from overseas, which represented almost the entirety of the area's population gains in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA release are applied, using a weighted aggregation method to scale population growth from the LGA level to SA2 levels. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, the region is projected to experience a population gain slightly below the national median for statistical areas. The area is expected to add 389 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 6.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
193 new dwellings have been approved in Flinders over the past five years, an average of 38 a year. That is 6.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, 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
Approximately 38 residential building approvals have been granted annually in Flinders, leading to a total of 193 new homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 26 approvals have been logged. With an average of just 0.6 new residents per year entering the area for every completed home during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the volume of new construction is meeting or exceeding local demand, ensuring a wide selection for buyers and creating scope for demographic growth beyond current projections. The average estimated construction value of these new properties is $1,553,000, indicating that building activity is focused on the high-end residential market.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $28.0 million have been documented so far this financial year, pointing to a steady level of commercial development. Compared to Greater Melbourne, Flinders exhibits a higher rate of building activity, running at 23.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year timeframe, which helps maintain options for buyers while supporting current property values. Additionally, all new residential construction has consisted of detached houses, preserving the area's established low-density setting and emphasizing family-oriented homes designed for spacious living. The ratio of population to building approvals stands at approximately 202 people per dwelling approval, which is indicative of a low-density market. Demographic projections indicate that Flinders is set to add 387 residents up to 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Given the current pace of construction, the supply of housing is expected to comfortably satisfy demand, establishing favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially supporting population growth that surpasses current forecasts.

3,158 residents of Flinders are employed, from a labour force of 3,180. Unemployment sits at 0.7%, with participation at 59.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 Flinders is characterized by high levels of education, with a notable concentration of professionals, a low unemployment rate of 0.7%, and steady employment conditions over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 3,158 local residents are employed, and the unemployment rate is 4.1% lower than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. However, the labor force participation rate in the area is notably lower at 59.4% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne. According to Census data, a substantial 40.7% of employed residents worked from home, although this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services. The locality displays a strong specialization in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with an employment share that is 11.4 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing is underrepresented, employing only 1.8% of the local workforce compared to 5.2% across Greater Melbourne. Although there are employment options within the local area, the ratio of the Census working population to the resident population suggests that a significant portion of the workforce travels to other areas for employment. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw a 0.5% rise in employment and a 0.1% increase in the size of the labor force, which led to a 0.4 percentage point decline in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% expansion in employment and a 2.3% increase in the labor force, while its unemployment rate rose by 0.2 percentage points. The national employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future demand trends in Flinders. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local employment structure to project growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary significantly across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of Flinders suggests that local employment could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, though this is a basic weighting extrapolation and 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 — 4 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,995 at the 2021 Census → 6,066 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 (214021378). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
