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 findings by AreaSearch, the resident count in Glen Waverley - West stands at roughly 23,464 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,428 people (11.5%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 21,036 people. Such growth draws on the ABS estimated resident population figure of 23,417 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 216 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With 3,055 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density sits within the top quartile among nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Surpassing both Victoria's 9.5% and nationwide figures, Glen Waverley - West's 11.5% post-2021 Census expansion establishes it among the region's fastest-growing localities.
Inward overseas migration served as the dominant catalyst, accounting for virtually all population additions over recent timeframes. Projections developed by ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024, utilising 2022 as their starting point, are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. Whenever an SA2 lacks coverage under this series, AreaSearch incorporates VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections published in 2023, adjusting figures through a weighted aggregation technique from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Age-bracket expansion rates derived from these models are likewise extended across all territories for 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic trajectories, substantial growth placing the district in the highest quartile of AreaSearch-reviewed areas is anticipated, with an increase of 5,931 persons expected by 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures, translating to an overall gain of 25.1% across the 16 years.

12,478 residents of Glen Waverley - West are employed, from a labour force of 12,724. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 64.4%. 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. 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 - West features a highly qualified labour pool with notable depth in professional services, a minimal unemployment rate of 1.9%, and a 4.3% rise in estimated employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 12,478, and the local jobless rate sat 2.8% lower than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, although overall participation of 64.4% trailed behind the metropolitan rate of 70.1%. Census records indicated that 35.4% of working locals conducted their duties from home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The bulk of working residents are employed within health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade.
Local representation in professional & technical fields is notably pronounced, registering at 1.3 times the wider metropolitan proportion. Conversely, construction engages only 6.0% of the local workforce, trailing Greater Melbourne's 9.7%. Comparing the count of locally based jobs with the working resident population suggests that substantial numbers travel to other districts for work. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 4.3% alongside a 4.4% rise in the labour pool, generating a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Across Greater Melbourne over the identical window, employment rose by 2.1%, the workforce increased by 2.3%, and the jobless rate climbed by 0.2 percentage points. Longer-term hiring outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment trends in Glen Waverley - West. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future growth. Across Australia, workforce size is projected to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with marked variation by sector. Applying these industry growth rates to the employment structure of Glen Waverley - West points to local job increases of 6.9% across five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this represents an illustrative weighted extrapolation without factoring in localised demographic 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 — 216 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (21,036 at the 2021 Census → 23,464 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 (212051322). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
