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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the resident count in Macedon is approximately 3,617 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 94 individuals (2.7%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,523 residents. The update is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 3,615 in June 2025 alongside 11 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 49 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with substantial space per resident. The expansion was chiefly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 62.0% of the total population growth in recent times.
AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 units, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA dataset are utilized, adjusted via a weighted aggregation approach of population growth from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Age group growth patterns from these aggregations are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, the region is projected to experience population growth exceeding the national median, gaining 726 persons by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP statistics, which equates to a 20.0% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
25 new dwellings have been approved in Macedon over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, well below 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
Macedon averages approximately 5 residential property approvals annually, with a total of 25 residences approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 3 recorded so far in FY-26. With an average of 3.2 new residents added for each completed home during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new builds is lagging behind demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives prices upward. The average construction cost for new dwellings is $721,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium sector of the market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $425,000 have been registered in the current financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. Relative to Greater Melbourne, development activity in Macedon is extremely low, sitting 84.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited construction volume tends to bolster demand and values for existing residential stock. The rate of activity also falls below the national average, reflecting the established status of the community and pointing to possible planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent construction projects have consisted of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the area which appeals to purchasers seeking spacious residential options. Demographic projections indicate that Macedon will add 724 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. With current construction rates, the supply of new housing may not keep pace with this population increase, which could intensify competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

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 71.1%. 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
The local workforce is highly educated, featuring a significant proportion of professionals, alongside an unemployment rate of only 1.2%. As of March 2026, there are 2,034 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 3.6% lower than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while participation in the workforce is comparable to Greater Melbourne's rate of 70.2%. Census data indicates that a notable 40.5% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 containment measures. The primary employment sectors for local residents are professional & technical, education & training, and health care & social assistance.
The locality displays a clear concentration in education & training, where the employment share is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, the accommodation & food sector is underrepresented, employing just 3.5% of the local workforce compared to 6.4% across Greater Melbourne. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that for the year ending March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 0.6% and total employment fell by 0.6%, keeping the overall unemployment level steady. In contrast, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labour force expand by 2.3%, with its unemployment rate increasing by 0.2 percentage points. Long-term employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends within Macedon. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries show highly variable growth rates. Applying these national sector projections to the local industry distribution suggests that employment among Macedon residents could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted mapping that does not account for local population changes.

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 — 11 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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 (210021233). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
