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
Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Mill Park - South's population is around 11,494 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 254 people (2.3%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 11,240 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 11,494 from the ABS as of June 2025 and an additional 111 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,331 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 75.3% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections released in 2023 with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Considering the projected demographic shifts, a significant population increase in the top quartile of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is forecast, with the area expected to increase by 3,074 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting with an increase of 26.7% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
146 new dwellings have been approved in Mill Park - South over the past five years, an average of 29 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 15% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
Mill Park - South has recorded around 29 residential properties granted approval per year, totalling 146 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 9 approvals have been recorded. With population declining over recent years, new supply has likely been keeping up with demand, offering good choice to buyers, while new homes are being built at an average value of $338,000. Also, $1.0 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, demonstrating the area's residential nature. Compared to Greater Melbourne, Mill Park - South records markedly lower building activity (81.0% below regional average per person).
This constrained new construction usually reinforces demand and pricing for existing dwellings, though development activity has picked up in recent periods. This is likewise lower than nationally, reflecting market maturity and pointing to possible development constraints. New development consists of 15.0% detached houses and 85.0% medium and high-density housing. This trend toward denser development provides accessible entry options and appeals to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers. This represents a notable shift from the area's existing housing (currently 90.0% houses), indicating decreasing availability of developable sites and reflecting changing lifestyles and the need for more diverse, affordable housing options. At around 1007 people per approval, Mill Park - South shows a mature, established area. Population forecasts indicate Mill Park - South will gain 3,074 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.

The project is currently awaiting state government funding and a definitive timeline.
6,051 residents of Mill Park - South are employed, from a labour force of 6,431. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 65.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,693, about 76% 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
Mill Park - South possesses a skilled workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of 5.9%, and 1.3% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of March 2026, 6,051 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.1% above Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (65.8% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 21.2% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The key industries of employment among residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Meanwhile, professional & technical has limited presence with 6.6% employment compared to 10.1% regionally. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, the 12-month period saw employment increasing by 1.3% alongside labour force increasing by 2.8%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 1.4 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1%, labour force growth of 2.3%, with unemployment rising 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Mill Park - South. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Mill Park - South's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 111 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,240 at the 2021 Census → 11,494 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 (209041221). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
