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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Hampton Park - East is estimated to be 13,393 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 678 people (5.3%) since the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 12,715 people. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,393 combined with 221 validated new addresses registered since the Census. The resulting population density stands at 1,629 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical average across locations evaluated nationally by AreaSearch. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this population growth, accounting for approximately 70.9% of the overall population gains in recent times.
AreaSearch implements projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch applies the 2023 projections from the VIC State Government for Region/LGA levels, modified through a method that aggregates LGA population growth to SA2 levels using weighted calculations. The age-specific growth rates derived from these aggregations are also projected across all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the population growth is projected to exceed the median of statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch, with the locality anticipated to add 1,768 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 13.2% overall increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
185 new dwellings have been approved in Hampton Park - East over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 29, broadly in line with 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
The annual average of new dwelling approvals in Hampton Park - East is approximately 37, with 185 homes approved throughout the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 27 registered during FY-26 so far. An average of 0 people per year moved to the locality for each constructed dwelling over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating that housing supply is matching or exceeding demand, which increases options for buyers and supports the potential for population growth to outpace projections, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $248,000—a figure below regional benchmarks—pointing to more affordable housing options.
Building activity in Hampton Park - East is significantly lower than in Greater Melbourne, sitting 81.0% below the regional average per person. This low volume of new construction generally supports demand and values for existing homes. The activity is also below the national average, showcasing the maturity of the market and indicating possible planning restrictions. Recent builds consist of 45.0% detached houses and 55.0% townhouses or apartments. This shift toward higher-density options offers affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the current housing stock (where houses make up 93.0%), pointing to a decrease in available development land while aligning with shifting lifestyle choices and affordability constraints. The ratio of roughly 370 people per dwelling approval indicates a mature market. Forecasts show that Hampton Park - East is set to add 1,768 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Construction levels are aligned with these growth projections, though incoming residents may face increased competition for housing as the population expands.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Hampton Park Waste Transfer Station (Proposed)
A major proposal by Veolia Australia and New Zealand to establish a large-scale Waste and Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) capable of processing 550,000 tonnes of waste annually. Following extensive community opposition and an initial refusal by the EPA in April 2025, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) officially upheld the EPA decision on 10 April 2026. VCAT ruled that the facility posed unacceptable risks to human health and the environment due to noise and odour emissions near residential areas.The project has effectively ceased as the refusal of the development licence makes the local planning permit redundant.
Narre Warren South Development Plan Area
Large-scale urban development plan for an area bounded by Centre Road to the north, Narre Warren-Cranbourne Road to the east, the proposed Glasscocks Road to the south, and a transmission line easement to the west. The plan covers approximately 460 hectares intended to accommodate 12,500 people across 4,000 dwellings. While the precinct is substantially complete with major road upgrades finished in late 2024, minor community infrastructure remains in the final delivery stages as of early 2026.
Hampton Park Hill Development Plan
A 260-hectare precinct plan for the Hallam Road Waste and Resource Recovery Hub in Hampton Park, identified by the Victorian Government as one of 22 hubs of state importance for waste and resource recovery. The adopted Development Plan (July 2023) provides a framework for 58 hectares of light industrial employment land, public open space, integrated transport infrastructure, and waste and resource recovery activities, all within a 500-metre landfill gas separation buffer. The Veolia transfer station proposed within the precinct was refused a development licence by EPA Victoria in April 2025, with VCAT upholding that refusal on 10 April 2026.Veolia subsequently indicated an appeal is unlikely. Planning Scheme Amendment C294, which seeks to implement the Development Plan through the Casey Planning Scheme, remains pending Ministerial authorisation and public exhibition. The existing Hallam Road landfill continues to fill its final cells, with rehabilitation and progressive conversion to public open space expected within the next decade.

6,600 residents of Hampton Park - East are employed, from a labour force of 7,194. Unemployment sits at 8.3%, with participation at 67.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,225, about 76% 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
Hampton Park - East has a workforce characterized by strong representation in manufacturing and industrial sectors, an unemployment rate of 8.3%, and an estimated employment growth of 4.1% over the past year. As of March 2026, 6,600 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 3.5% higher than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, indicating potential for enhancement, while labor force participation is slightly below average at 67.6% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne. Census records show that a low 13.1% of residents worked from home, although this may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The resident workforce is primarily employed in manufacturing, health care & social assistance, and construction. The manufacturing sector shows a particularly high concentration, with local employment levels at 2.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 4.3% of local jobs compared to 10.1% across the region. The suburb is mostly residential and offers a limited number of local jobs, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, employment rose by 4.1% and the labor force expanded by 4.2% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, which kept the unemployment rate stable. For comparison, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, with its unemployment rate rising by 0.2 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context regarding future employment demand in Hampton Park - East. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future 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 by industry. Mapping these industry-specific trends to the local employment structure suggests that local employment will grow by 5.7% over five years and 12.5% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration 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 — 221 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,715 at the 2021 Census → 13,393 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.
