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
Maribyrnong has an estimated 13,960 residents, up from 12,573 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,387 people, or 11.0%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. 113 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 84.3% of that increase. That puts 2,543 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 Maribyrnong stands at approximately 13,960 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 12,573 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 1,387 people (11.0%). This adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,960 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 113 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. With a density metric of 2,542 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks in the upper quartile across nationwide benchmarks evaluated by AreaSearch. Furthermore, Maribyrnong's 11.0% expansion following the 2021 census outpaced the state (9.5%) as well as broader nationwide figures, establishing the suburb as an regional frontrunner.
International arrivals served as the primary demographic catalyst, generating roughly 84.3% of total population additions in recent times. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) have been incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 territories. Where SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch relies upon 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA figures, applying a weighted aggregation methodology to translate LGA trends down to SA2 zones. Age cohort growth rates derived from these models are similarly projected across all regions for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking forward, local demographic trends point toward a substantial influx placed within the top quartile nationwide, with projections anticipating an addition of 4,291 persons to 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP population statistics, which represents an overall increase of 30.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
564 new dwellings have been approved in Maribyrnong over the past five years, an average of 112 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 113 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 7% 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 authorisations in Maribyrnong have tracked at an annual rate of roughly 112 new dwellings, yielding 564 homes approved throughout the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this identical timeframe (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 1.2 people per year arrived per constructed dwelling, demonstrating a well-equilibrated dynamic between housing stock and buyer interest that underpins stable real estate conditions, with fresh residential builds carrying an expected construction value of $526,000. On the commercial front, $38.7 million in non-residential development permits have been logged during this financial year, underscoring energetic business expansion locally.
On a per-capita comparison, Maribyrnong records 19.0% less new development than Greater Melbourne, yet it still situates in the 93rd percentile among nationally assessed markets, supported by quickening construction momentum lately. Current building approvals comprise 7.0% detached houses alongside 93.0% medium and high-density housing. This strategic emphasis on multi-unit development provides accessible price points beneficial for downsizing owner-occupiers, investors, and entering first-home buyers. Marking a pronounced transition from the historic local landscape (where freestanding houses account for 34.0%), this shift underlines tightening land constraints while answering consumer appetite for diverse, cost-effective residential formats. Demonstrating around 94 people per approval, Maribyrnong exhibits the characteristics of an evolving community. Projections indicate that Maribyrnong will expand by an additional 4,291 residents through to 2041 (grounded on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). While local construction activity is keeping reasonable pace with expected demographic expansion, incoming purchasers might encounter heightening competition as resident counts swell.

9,462 residents of Maribyrnong are employed, from a labour force of 9,770. Unemployment sits at 3.2%, with participation at 78.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,634, about 91% 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 resident workforce in Maribyrnong displays exceptional qualification levels, highlighted by considerable professional services involvement, an unemployment figure limited to 3.2%, and an estimated 2.1% in annual employment growth over the past year. By March 2026, employed locals reached 9,462 residents, while local unemployment measured 1.6% below the 4.8% posted across Greater Melbourne, accompanied by an elevated participation rate of 78.9% versus 70.1% for Greater Melbourne. Census records showed a prominent 35.8% working remotely, a statistic potentially elevated by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The foremost industries engaging local workers consist of health care & social assistance, retail trade, along with professional & technical services.
High industry concentration is particularly evident within finance & insurance, which commands a workforce share 1.4 times the regional baseline. By contrast, the building sector exhibits lower representation, employing 6.9% compared to 9.7% regionally. Although workplace opportunities exist within the suburb, comparing local worker numbers to resident populations reveals substantial outbound commuting. Evaluating SALM and ABS statistics, AreaSearch observes that the preceding 12-month period generated a 2.1% boost in employment against a 1.9% rise in the active labor pool, prompting an unemployment reduction of 0.2 percentage points. Conversely, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.1% employment lift paired with a 2.3% workforce enlargement, resulting in an unemployment uptick of 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking employment estimates published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide further clarity on emerging labour demand in Maribyrnong over five and ten-year horizons. Across the national economy, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across industrial domains. Applying these broader forecasts against the local sectoral composition implies employment generation of 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (calculated via weighted extrapolation for demonstration without factoring in specific localized population shifts).

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 — 113 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,573 at the 2021 Census → 13,960 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 (213031349). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
