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
Hurstbridge has an estimated 3,521 residents, down from 3,554 at the 2021 Census. The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 95% of areas nationally. That puts 237 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 Hurstbridge stands at approximately 3,521 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 33 people (0.9%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,554 people. This shift is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 3,521 as of June 2025 combined with 7 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. The current population level translates to a density of 237 persons per square kilometer, which offers substantial space per occupant and opportunities for future expansion.
Although Hurstbridge recorded a 0.9% drop post-census, the broader SA3 area experienced a 1.8% expansion, pointing to contrasting demographic patterns. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth locally, accounting for roughly 50.6% of overall gains in the recent timeframe. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each individual SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA release are applied, with modifications made via a weighted aggregation methodology of population increases from the LGA level down to the SA2 level. The age bracket growth rates calculated from these aggregations are also projected across all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, population growth is anticipated to exceed the national median for statistical areas, with a projected gain of 575 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 16.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
24 new dwellings have been approved in Hurstbridge over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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
Hurstbridge registers roughly 4 residential approvals annually, with 24 properties approved during the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 4 recorded so far in FY-26. Given the population drop in the preceding period, this construction pace has been relatively sufficient, which benefits buyers, and new residences carry a mean building cost of $285,000—below the regional average—offering more affordable options for home buyers. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $2.1 million have been documented this financial year, pointing to a heavily residential trend. When evaluated against Greater Melbourne, Hurstbridge registers about half the volume of residential building activity per capita, placing in the 14th percentile of all areas analysed nationwide, which limits choice for buyers and reinforces demand for existing properties.
This rate also sits below the national average, reflecting the established layout of the neighborhood and indicating potential planning constraints. Additionally, all recent construction has consisted of standalone houses, preserving the classic low-density aesthetic of the area and focusing on family-oriented properties that attract buyers looking for space. The ratio of 1325 people in the locality for each approved dwelling highlights a quiet, low-scale building environment. Demographic projections indicate that Hurstbridge will add 575 residents up to 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection). With the current pace of construction, housing output might struggle to satisfy this population increase, which could intensify competition among buyers and support upward price pressure.

2,159 residents of Hurstbridge are employed, from a labour force of 2,215. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 75.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,731, about 78% 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 Hurstbridge is highly educated, featuring a strong representation of essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.5%, and an estimated employment expansion of 2.5% over the past year. As of March 2026, there are 2,159 employed local residents, and the unemployment rate is 2.2% below the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, while participation in the workforce is exceptionally high at 75.7% compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census data indicates that 31.5% of working residents operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors of employment for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The neighborhood displays a highly concentrated presence in construction, where employment is 1.8 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a minor footprint, accounting for 7.0% of jobs compared to 10.1% across the region. The locality appears to provide few jobs internally, as shown by the relationship between the Census working population and the resident population. According to analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS statistics, the 12-month period experienced a 2.5% lift in employment alongside a 2.9% rise in the labour force, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1% and labour force expansion of 2.3%, with a 0.2 percentage point rise. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context regarding future demand in Hurstbridge. These projections, spanning five-year and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth trajectories vary widely by sector. Aligning these industry-specific projections with the employment profile of Hurstbridge suggests local jobs could grow by 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (this represents a direct weighted extrapolation for illustration 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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,554 at the 2021 Census → 3,521 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 (209031210). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
