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
Hadfield has an estimated 6,717 residents, up from 6,241 at the 2021 Census — a change of 476 people, or 7.6%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. 147 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 51.6% of that increase. That puts 2,202 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Hadfield stands at roughly 6,717 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 6,241 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 476 residents (7.6%). Such growth is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 6,650 registered in June 2025 alongside 147 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With these numbers, the local density reaches 2,202 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide locations monitored by AreaSearch. Furthermore, the community has exhibited steady momentum over the past decade through a 1.4% compound annual growth rate that outpaced its surrounding SA3 area, with inbound overseas migration serving as the chief demographic driver by supplying roughly 51.6% of recent net population additions.
Projections compiled by AreaSearch incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset using 2022 as its baseline, whereas uncovered SA2 districts rely on 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA figures weighted and aggregated down to SA2 boundaries. Age-specific trajectory rates derived from these models are subsequently applied across every territory for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Forward-looking demographic modeling places Hadfield within the top 10 percent of statistical zones nationwide, forecasting an addition of 2,661 persons by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP baselines, translating into an overall expansion of 38.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
295 new dwellings have been approved in Hadfield over the past five years, an average of 59 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 59 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 31% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Hadfield have maintained a pace of roughly 59 dwellings annually, accumulating to 295 units across the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the area added an average of only 0.9 people annually for every home constructed over the past 5 financial years, demonstrating that residential delivery matches or outstrips local population uptake to provide generous purchasing opportunities and allow room for demographic expansion beyond projected numbers. These new builds carry an average construction cost of $366,000—a level below regional benchmarks that highlights cost-effective housing delivery.
Concurrently, commercial building consents reached $4.3 million this financial year, pointing to relatively subdued non-residential development activity. Building activity within Hadfield remains elevated when compared against Greater Melbourne, tracking 39.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period, thereby preserving property availability while accommodating ongoing buyer appetite. Incoming housing stock is divided into 31.0% detached houses alongside 69.0% townhouses or apartments. Emphasizing higher-density formats delivers lower entry prices suitable for investors, downsizers, and entry-level purchasers. This pipeline marks a distinct shift away from the traditional neighbourhood footprint (which currently features 73.0% houses), signaling a tightening supply of greenfield allotments as well as evolving lifestyle preferences for varied, budget-conscious dwellings. A metric of approximately 110 people per approval further reflects an evolving urban district. Demographic projections from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate that Hadfield is on track to add 2,594 residents by 2041. If local building volumes stay at current levels, housing creation could fall behind population inflows, which would likely heighten buyer competition and reinforce upward pricing momentum.

3,264 residents of Hadfield are employed, from a labour force of 3,420. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 63.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,751, 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
The local workforce in Hadfield is well qualified, displaying notable concentration in the building and construction trades, an unemployment level of 4.6%, and consistent job numbers during the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents total 3,264, while the jobless rate sits 0.2% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, although local labor participation of 63.6% trails the 70.1% recorded across Greater Melbourne. Census feedback showed that a substantial 29.1% of employees carried out their roles remotely, though this figure was influenced by pandemic-related movement restrictions. Locals are primarily employed across retail trade, construction, as well as health care & social assistance.
The building sector represents a core strength, showing a local workforce concentration 1.4 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical occupations engage only 7.3% of resident workers, trailing the 10.1% figure seen across Greater Melbourne. Given its predominantly residential nature, the suburb provides relatively few on-site job positions, as illustrated by comparing the count of Census workers based locally against the residing workforce. Analysis from AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures shows that the labour force shrank by 0.6% during the 12-month period, while employment remained flat at 0.0% change, which resulted in the unemployment rate dropping by 0.6 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1%, labour force growth of 2.3%, and an increase in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. Future demand trends for Hadfield can be better understood through Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts published in Mar-26. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid on Hadfield's current employment composition to project growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these sectoral projections are applied to Hadfield's job mix, local employment is estimated to rise by 6.4% over five years and by 13.1% over ten years. This calculation uses a simple weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 147 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,241 at the 2021 Census → 6,717 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 (210031440). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
