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
Moira has an estimated 2,841 residents. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 population of Moira stands at approximately 2,841 as of May 2026. This represents a minor decline of 2 people (0.1%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 2,843 residents. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 2,841 alongside 76 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 1.9 persons per square kilometer, which indicates a low-density living environment. Over the last ten years, Moira has shown steady development, registering a compound annual growth rate of 0.8%, which exceeded the broader SA3 area.
The population expansion during recent timeframes was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 58.1% of the total growth. AreaSearch relies on projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with a baseline year of 2022. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch calculates estimates using the 2023 Regional and LGA projections from the VIC State Government, adjusting them through a weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA level down to the SA2 level. The age structure growth rates derived from these aggregations are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, a major rise in population is predicted for regional areas in the top national quartile, with Moira projected to increase by 1,055 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total expansion of 37.1% over a 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
95 new dwellings have been approved in Moira over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 6.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, 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
In Moira, construction approvals average approximately 19 residential builds per year, resulting in a total of 95 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. For the current FY-26, 13 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of only 0.6 new residents per approved dwelling arriving annually between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply is meeting or exceeding local demand, which provides prospective buyers with more choices and supports population expansion that may outpace current projections. These new homes are constructed at an average value of $561,000, which highlights developer activity in the high-end, premium housing sector.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $2.7 million during this financial year, suggesting a relatively quiet commercial development environment. In comparison to the Rest of Vic., Moira registers about 75% of the building volume per resident, placing it in the 76th percentile of all examined locations nationwide. Recent construction has focused exclusively on freestanding residential homes, maintaining the low-density profile of the area with an emphasis on single-family structures for buyers seeking space. The area records approximately 160 people for every approved dwelling, reflecting a low-density housing market. Demographic projections indicate that Moira will add 1,055 residents by 2041 based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Under the current pace of development, residential construction may struggle to satisfy this population increase, which could intensify competition among buyers and put upward pressure on prices.

1,506 residents of Moira are employed, from a labour force of 1,538. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 65.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,410, about 85% 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 in Moira is evenly divided between white-collar and blue-collar occupations, with strong representation in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. The area features a low unemployment rate of 2.1%, alongside an estimated job growth rate of 2.4% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 1,506 local citizens are employed, which means the unemployment rate is 1.6% lower than the 3.7% recorded in Regional Vic., while the participation rate is relatively typical, standing at 65.3% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic. Census data reveals that a moderate 20.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by past pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment fields for residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and construction. The community displays a strong concentration in agriculture, forestry & fishing, employing workers at a rate 3.4 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 12.9% of employment, which is lower than the Regional Vic. average of 16.8%. Comparing the number of working residents to the locally available jobs suggests that the local area offers limited employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed individuals grew by 2.4% while the overall workforce expanded by 3.2%, leading to an increase of 0.7 percentage points in the unemployment rate. By contrast, Regional Vic. saw a decrease in employment of 0.1% and a reduction in the workforce of 0.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point decline. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective future employment demand in Moira. These projections, spanning five and ten years, are applied to the local workforce distribution to project future employment trajectories. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but these rates vary considerably by industry. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto Moira's current employment distribution suggests that local employment will rise by 5.1% in five years and 11.5% in ten years, though this is a basic weighted calculation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 76 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,843 at the 2021 Census → 2,841 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.
