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
Macedon has an estimated 3,617 residents, up from 3,523 at the 2021 Census — a change of 94 people, or 2.7%. Density is about 50 people per 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Macedon is home to roughly 3,617 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census tally of 3,523 individuals, this represents an addition of 94 people (2.7%). This net growth is derived by taking the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 3,615 and incorporating 12 validated new addresses recorded following the Census. Macedon exhibits a population density of 49 persons per square kilometer, providing an open, low-density living setting. Inbound overseas migration was the primary driver of demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 62.0% of all population increases over recent timeframes.
For individual SA2 locations, AreaSearch applies ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as their baseline year). Where SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch integrates 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections via a weighted aggregation methodology shifting LGA growth to the SA2 level. Between the years 2032 and 2041, aggregated growth rates across separate age brackets are similarly distributed across all districts. Based on these projected demographic patterns, Macedon is expected to register population gains above the median across statistical areas tracked by AreaSearch, adding 707 persons through to 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP benchmarks, representing a cumulative rise of 19.5% across the 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
20 new dwellings have been approved in Macedon over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential planning approvals in Macedon have tracked at roughly 4 dwellings annually, accumulating to 20 homes across the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, an average of 4 newcomers arrived in the locality each year for every home constructed over the last 5 financial years, causing building activity to fall notably behind inbound population requirements. This shortfall typically intensifies purchaser competition and puts upward pressure on prices, while newly approved dwellings carry an average construction valuation of $1,195,000, signaling a clear developer focus on higher-end, premium housing. In addition, $425,000 worth of commercial approvals were recorded during this financial year, underscoring an emphasis oriented almost entirely toward residential construction.
Building activity across Macedon tracks well below regional benchmarks, sitting 87.0% below the Greater Melbourne per-capita average despite a minor recent pickup in approvals. This constrained creation of fresh housing stock tends to bolster demand and values across established homes, while also sitting below the national rate due to the established nature of the suburb and local planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent development has consisted exclusively of standalone detached residences, preserving the low-density, family-oriented character favored by buyers seeking generous space. A ratio of 665 residents per approved dwelling underlines the calm, restrained development pace characterizing the locality. Demographic modeling shows Macedon expanding by 705 residents through to 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Should building volumes continue at prevailing levels, local residential supply could struggle to keep up with demographic growth, which may heighten buyer demand and support ongoing asset appreciation.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Daylesford to Hanging Rock Shared Trail
Proposed regional shared trail linking Daylesford, Tylden, Woodend, Hanging Rock and Kyneton through a combination of rail trail and shared-use trail sections. The project is being jointly progressed by Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Hepburn Shire Council to improve cycling, walking and horse riding opportunities while supporting regional tourism and local connectivity. Planning and feasibility work continues, with additional state funding required before construction can commence.
Macedon Ranges Sports Precinct
The Macedon Ranges Sports Precinct is a staged regional sport and recreation development at New Gisborne, spread across two interconnected sites at the intersection of Barringo and Hamilton roads. It is the largest capital works project ever undertaken by Macedon Ranges Shire Council. Stage One, budgeted at over $29 million, opened on 28 June 2024 and delivered a three-court indoor sports stadium with spectator seating, kiosk, sport administration office and amenities on the western site, plus a natural turf AFL and cricket oval, pavilion with change rooms, fitness loop, half-court basketball, playground, outdoor table tennis, barbecue areas, wetland and car parking on the eastern site.Stage Two, valued at $17 million and funded by $15 million from the Australian Government and $2 million from Council, commenced in November 2025 under contractors Harris HMC (western stadium extension) and ACE Infrastructure (eastern sports fields). Stage Two adds three further multi-use indoor courts, four gender-neutral changerooms, additional offices, amenities and parking on the western site, and a second natural turf oval, two outdoor netball courts and further car parking on the eastern site. Construction progressed through 2026 with oval turf works completed and structural steel erected for the stadium extension by April 2026. Eastern side completion is expected mid-2026 and western side completion late 2026, with all new facilities open in early 2027. A proposed Stage Three, estimated at $15.5 million and still seeking external funding, would add retractable seating, a function and multi-purpose room extension, a canopy linking the existing netball courts to the sports hub, a pavilion extension and cricket nets. The precinct serves more than 3,300 participants across basketball, netball, AFL, cricket, futsal, volleyball and badminton, and adjoins the eight-court Macedon Ranges Regional Netball Complex.

2,034 residents of Macedon are employed, from a labour force of 2,059. Unemployment sits at 1.2%, with participation at 70.6%. 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 3,012, about 83% 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
Macedon features a qualified, professional workforce alongside a minimal unemployment rate of 1.2%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,034, while joblessness sits 3.6% lower than the Greater Melbourne figure of 4.8%. The local participation rate largely mirrors the 70.1% recorded regionally across Greater Melbourne. Census records indicated that 40.5% of working residents carried out their duties from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The predominant industries employing Macedon residents include professional & technical services, education & training, as well as health care & social assistance.
The local population shows a strong affinity for education & training, engaging workers at 1.3 times the regional rate. Conversely, the accommodation & food sector represents just 3.5% of local employment against 6.4% across the wider region. Comparing the count of Census local workers against the resident workforce suggests the district contains limited employment destinations internally. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures show that across the 12 months leading to March 2026, both the local workforce size and overall employment contracted by 0.6%, leaving the unemployment rate virtually static. Conversely, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% expansion in employment, a 2.3% rise in the labour pool, and a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future labour demand can be evaluated using national industry projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts, when aligned with Macedon's sectoral makeup, project local employment expansion of 6.7% across five years and 13.6% across ten years, compared to nationwide projections of 6.6% and 13.7% over the same intervals (calculated purely through weighted industry profiles for comparative analysis without factoring in local demographic shifts).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Macedon is $2,457 a week (about $128,000 a year), with median personal income at $991 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $66,096 a year against an average of $102,490. The average runs 55% above the median, a wider spread than most areas and a sign of a concentrated group of high earners. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
Postcode-level ATO statistics for financial year 2023 compiled by AreaSearch show that personal earnings across the Macedon SA2 rank among the highest nationally, featuring a median of $66,096 and an average of $102,490. These figures significantly outpace Greater Melbourne, which recorded a median of $57,688 and an average of $75,164. Accounting for a 9.62% increase in the Wage Price Index since financial year 2023, updated estimates as of March 2026 reach approximately $72,454 for the median and $112,350 for the average. In the 2021 Census, Macedon placed between the 77th and 89th percentiles across Australia for personal, family, and household earnings.
Specifically, 27.7% of the community (1,001 individuals) falls into the top $4000+ weekly bracket, in contrast to the broader region where the $1,500 - 2,999 band is most common at 32.8%. Substantial purchasing power is further reflected by 41.8% of households earning more than $3,000 per week, while residents retain 87.8% of their earnings once housing overheads are covered, placing the locality in the 9th decile on the SEIFA income index.
Frequently Asked Questions - Income

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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,523 at the 2021 Census → 3,617 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 (210021233). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
