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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Glen Waverley - East stands at approximately 22,843 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,240 people (5.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, when 21,603 residents were recorded. Such growth is determined by incorporating the ABS estimated resident population of 22,820 as of June 2025 alongside 109 validated new addresses registered following the Census. With a density of 2,493 persons per square kilometer, the locality sits within the top quartile of all Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch. In recent times, inward overseas migration has served as the near-exclusive catalyst for local population gains.
Population projections for each SA2 district are sourced from ABS/Geoscience Australia 2024 releases using 2022 as their starting baseline. Wherever SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch integrates the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA figures, redistributing LGA growth across SA2 boundaries via weighted aggregation. These aggregated age-specific growth trajectories are subsequently applied across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. In light of anticipated demographic adjustments, the community is slated to achieve an above median rate of national population expansion, gaining an estimated 3,751 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to a cumulative 16.3% rise over the 16 years.

11,642 residents of Glen Waverley - East are employed, from a labour force of 11,885. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 62.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 19,638, about 86% 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
Glen Waverley - East features a highly skilled labour pool characterized by strong representation in professional services, a low unemployment rate of 2.0%, and an annual employment increase estimated at 4.3%. By March 2026, employed residents reached 11,642, with the jobless rate tracking 2.7% lower than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while workforce participation stands comparatively low at 62.2% versus 70.1% across the broader metropolis. In addition, Census records showed that 37.6% of local workers performed their duties from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents consist of health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and retail trade. Professional & technical services is an area of distinct local specialization, employing workers at 1.2 times the metropolitan concentration. In contrast, construction constitutes only 6.5% of local employment, falling short of the 9.7% regional benchmark. Because the suburb is predominantly residential, comparison of Census workplace figures against resident numbers shows that local employment opportunities remain limited within the area itself. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, resident employment rose by 4.3% while the labour force expanded by 4.5%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1%, labour force growth of 2.3%, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term occupational projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future labour demand. Applying these five- and ten-year national industry outlooks—which predict nationwide employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—to Glen Waverley - East's specific sector distribution yields an expected local job growth of 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (note that this represents a straightforward weighted projection for demonstration and excludes localized 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 — 109 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (21,603 at the 2021 Census → 22,843 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (212051321). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
