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.

AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 Regional/LGA releases by the VIC State Government, adjusted by aggregating population growth from LGA to SA2 levels using a weighted methodology. Age group growth rates from these aggregations are also applied for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic projections, the area is expected to experience exceptional growth, ranking in the top 10 percent of non-metropolitan regions in Australia. An increase of 9,933 persons is projected to 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total population gain of 58.4% over the 16 years.

That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,123, about 90% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in.

Detail

In March 2026, there were 8,158 employed residents. The unemployment rate sits 0.3% higher than the Regional Vic. rate of 3.7%, while the labor force participation rate is close to the Regional Vic. average of 61.1%.

The primary sectors of employment for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. The local economy shows a high concentration of construction jobs, with the sector's employment share standing at 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is less common, employing only 2.2% of the Kilmore - Broadford workforce compared to 7.5% in Regional Vic.. Comparing the census count of the local working population against the resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch indicates that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 2.2% and total employment fell by 2.2%, which kept the unemployment rate steady. By comparison, Regional Vic. saw employment contract by 0.1%, the overall labour force decline by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate drop by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on potential future demand in Kilmore - Broadford. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future employment trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary considerably across different industries. Applying these national industry trends to the local employment mix suggests that employment in Kilmore - Broadford would grow by 5.9% over five years and 12.5% over ten years, noting that this is a simple 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 — 471 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,563 at the 2021 Census → 16,813 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.
