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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population residing in Lara stands at approximately 23,983 as of Aug 2026. Compared against the 2021 Census count of 20,817 people, this represents an expansion of 3,166 people (15.2%). This figure is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 23,953 as of June 2025 alongside 1,845 validated new addresses added following the Census. The local population density calculates to 40 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious living environment. Expanding by 15.2% since the 2021 census, Lara outpaced both Rest of Vic.
(4.4%) and its broader SA3 area to rank among the regional leaders in demographic growth. The primary catalyst for this influx was interstate migration, generating roughly 64.9% of net additions recently, alongside positive inputs from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections utilised by AreaSearch originate from the ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset published in 2024 (using 2022 as its base period), with unlisted SA2 areas supplemented by the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA projections converted via a weighted LGA-to-SA2 growth aggregation method. Age-specific trajectory rates derived from these models are implemented across all localities spanning the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, Lara is positioned within the top 10 percent of regional areas nationally for demographic growth, with the community projected to add 10,839 persons to 2041 relative to recent annual ERP data, corresponding to an overall climb of 45.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
2,269 new dwellings have been approved in Lara over the past five years, an average of 453 a year. That places the area in the 91st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 453 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% 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 Lara have averaged approximately 453 dwellings annually, totaling 2,269 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Demand and supply remain well matched with an average intake of 1.5 people per year for every home constructed during the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), preserving balanced local market dynamics while new residences average an estimated construction cost of $355,000, aligning with regional averages.

by 110.0%, providing prospective purchasers with an expanded range of housing options. This elevated volume sits substantially higher than the national standard, reflecting strong developer commitment to the precinct. Standalone houses account for 92.0% of upcoming construction while townhouses or apartments constitute 8.0%, preserving a low-density neighborhood fabric tailored to families seeking spacious blocks. A ratio of approximately 49 people per dwelling approval further underlines Lara's standing as an expanding growth locality. Demographic forecasts point to Lara gaining an additional 10,808 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at current rates, incoming residential supply will comfortably absorb projected demand, ensuring favorable conditions for buyers while facilitating development that could accommodate gains beyond current population forecasts.

11,570 residents of Lara are employed, from a labour force of 12,035. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 62.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. 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 labour pool exhibits strong representation across essential service industries, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 3.9%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 11,570, while the local jobless rate sits 0.2% above the 3.7% recorded for Regional Vic., alongside workforce participation that aligns closely with Regional Vic.'s 61.1%. In addition, 20.7% of working residents indicated working from home at the Census, although pandemic-era restrictions during Covid-19 should be noted. The primary sectors employing local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Transport, postal & warehousing demonstrates clear local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.8 times the broader regional benchmark.
Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.0% of local workers, lagging behind the 7.5% share seen across Regional Vic.. Comparing Census workplace counts against resident numbers suggests the precinct provides a modest volume of internal job opportunities. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the year to March 2026, Lara recorded a 0.9% contraction in its labour force alongside a 0.8% reduction in employed persons, leaving the overall unemployment rate unchanged. Over the identical timeframe, Regional Vic. saw employment dip 0.1%, the labour force shrink 0.3%, and unemployment decrease by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide indicative insight into future local labour demand over five- and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories fluctuate widely across sectors. Applying these industry growth expectations to Lara's workforce distribution indicates prospective local job expansion of 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (calculated via weighted industry extrapolation for indicative review without factoring 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 — 1,845 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (20,817 at the 2021 Census → 23,983 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 (203021043). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
