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
Meadow Heights has an estimated 14,883 residents. That puts 3,215 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the resident count of Meadow Heights stands at approximately 14,883 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 14,890 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a slight decline of 7 people, representing virtually no percentage change. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 14,841 registered as of June 2025 alongside 96 validated new addresses documented following the Census date. With 3,214 persons per square kilometer, the locality exhibits high population density, placing it within the upper quartile across nationally evaluated locations by AreaSearch.
In recent times, population expansion was predominantly underpinned by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 69.7% of total inward gains. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (anchored to 2022 as the base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries. Where specific coverage is absent, figures draw from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases via weighted aggregation translating LGA metrics down to SA2 zones, with age-specific rates applied across all areas covering 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, long-term demographic modelling places Meadow Heights among the upper quartile of growth areas assessed by AreaSearch. Supported by the most recent annual ERP figures, the community is projected to add 5,206 persons through to 2041, representing a cumulative expansion of 34.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
155 new dwellings have been approved in Meadow Heights over the past five years, an average of 31 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 52% 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 across Meadow Heights have averaged approximately 31 new homes annually, generating 155 homes in total across the past 5 financial years. Given recent population contractions, new housing supply has comfortably satisfied demand to preserve a stable market with ample choices for buyers. New residential construction costs average $288,000—a level tracking below regional benchmarks that underlines competitive building affordability. Concurrently, commercial approvals for this financial year amount to $336,000, signaling very subdued non-residential development. Per-capita building activity in Meadow Heights is noticeably restrained, trailing Greater Melbourne by 80.0% below regional average per person.
This limited flow of new building pipelines typically enhances buyer competition and underpins values for existing dwellings. Construction volumes also sit below national averages, reflecting the mature character of the suburb and likely planning boundaries. Of the active building approvals, standalone homes represent 52.0% while medium and high-density housing makes up 48.0%, introducing townhouses and apartments to offer diverse entry points across varying budget thresholds. This trend diverges substantially from the established housing stock, where 82.0% houses currently prevail, pointing toward constrained greenfield land while catering to shifting lifestyle demands and lower-cost housing needs. Overall, the ratio of 573 people per dwelling approval confirms a well-consolidated residential precinct. According to the latest quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Meadow Heights is anticipated to expand by 5,164 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist unchanged, future dwelling delivery could fall behind demographic growth, potentially heightening competition for housing and fueling stronger price acceleration.

5,057 residents of Meadow Heights are employed, from a labour force of 5,847. Unemployment sits at 13.5%, with participation at 49.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,402, 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 labour market in Meadow Heights is defined by a skilled workforce with strong representation in the construction sector, alongside an overall unemployment rate of 13.5% and estimated annual employment growth of 4.9%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,057. Nevertheless, the jobless rate exceeds Greater Melbourne by 8.7% above Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, highlighting employment challenges, while the labour participation rate of 49.6% trails the 70.1% recorded across Greater Melbourne. Census figures also show that 13.8% of employed individuals worked remotely from home, though this metric was likely influenced by Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary industry sectors employing local residents comprise health care & social assistance, construction, and manufacturing. Notably, transport, postal & warehousing exhibits significant local concentration, tracking at 2.0 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented locally, engaging just 4.3% of the local workforce compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. The disparity between Census working population counts and total resident numbers highlights the primarily suburban residential character of Meadow Heights, where local employment hubs remain modest. An examination of ABS and SALM figures by AreaSearch reveals that over the twelve months to March 2026, local employment grew by 4.9% while the labour pool contracted by 0.7%, resulting in a 4.6 percentage points reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same interval, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1%, a 2.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage points lift in joblessness. Further insight into employment prospects is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26. Nationally, employment is anticipated to increase by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variation by sector. Applying these industry growth trajectories to the local occupational profile suggests Meadow Heights employment could rise by 5.9% across five years and 12.6% over ten years (calculated via simple weighting for illustrative purposes without factoring in local demographic 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 — 96 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,890 at the 2021 Census → 14,883 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 (210051247). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
