Chart Color Schemes
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
Mooroolbark has an estimated 24,644 residents, up from 23,146 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,498 people, or 6.5%. 357 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 50.6% of that increase. That puts 1,965 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 demographic evaluations by AreaSearch, the resident count in Mooroolbark stands at approximately 24,644 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 1,498 people (6.5%) compared to the 2021 Census benchmark of 23,146 people. Such expansion is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 24,395 as of June 2025 alongside 357 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 1,965 persons per square kilometer, exceeding national averages across AreaSearch study locations. Outperforming both the wider SA4 region and its SA3 counterpart (3.6%), Mooroolbark's 6.5% expansion since the 2021 census positions it at the forefront of regional growth.
Natural increases accounted for the majority of these gains, generating roughly 50.6% of recent population additions. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as a base baseline are incorporated across SA2 districts, with unrepresented localities utilizing 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases adjusted via a weighted aggregation framework. Age-specific growth distributions from these models are uniformly applied for the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these demographic paths, local expansion will sit marginally below the national median for statistical areas, increasing by 2,414 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which equates to an overall rise of 8.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
554 new dwellings have been approved in Mooroolbark over the past five years, an average of 110 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 111 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 46% 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
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential approvals in Mooroolbark have tracked at approximately 110 dwellings per year, accumulating to 554 homes. With an intake averaging merely 0.9 new residents per year per approved home across the 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), local building activity matches or outpaces incoming population requirements, granting prospective purchasers expanded selection and supporting growth that may surpass prevailing estimates. Furthermore, average construction values sit at $406,000, aligning with broader regional building patterns, while $66.5 million in commercial building permits during this financial year underscores robust non-residential activity.
Per capita building approvals in Mooroolbark exceed the Greater Melbourne benchmark by 29.0% over the 5 year period, ensuring ample supply for buyers and bolstering existing real estate values, even as recent building momentum has eased. Detached houses account for 46.0% of new approvals, whereas medium and high-density formats constitute 54.0%. This shift toward denser residential options provides attainable entry points for first-home buyers, downsizers, and investors alike. Presenting a clear departure from the existing landscape where 95.0% are houses, this distribution reflects diminishing broadacre land alongside changing demographic preferences and affordability pressures, with approval metrics of approximately 285 people per approval indicating a transforming residential environment. Forecasts from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release anticipate Mooroolbark expanding by 2,165 residents leading up to 2041. Given prevailing volumes of residential development, housing stock is positioned to comfortably absorb demographic needs, offering advantageous conditions for purchasers and setting the stage for growth beyond baseline forecasts.

The long day care centre is approved for 127 places and provides early childhood education for children from birth to school age on the Mooroolbark Grammar campus.
Cave Hill Railway Station (Kinley)
Proposed new suburban railway station on Melbourne's metropolitan Lilydale line, sited roughly midway between Mooroolbark and Lilydale stations on the northern edge of the former Cave Hill limestone quarry, now being redeveloped as Intrapac Property's 163 hectare Kinley masterplanned community. A 2017 concept development report prepared by Raylink Consulting for the Victorian Planning Authority recommended a single island platform on the short straight section of track directly opposite the old quarry pit, with about 500m of track lowering required to meet the 1 in 200 maximum platform gradient standard.That report costed the station itself at approximately $13 million and the track lowering at approximately $5.5 million in 2017 dollars, and found that introducing a stop within the single-track Mooroolbark to Lilydale section would reduce peak capacity by around 15 per cent, meaning the station must be delivered together with either a Cave Hill crossing loop (about $28 million) or track duplication (about $46 million for the full Mooroolbark to Lilydale section). Public Transport Victoria advised at the time that full duplication was the preferred solution. The station remains unfunded and unapproved and is shown in the Lilydale Quarry Comprehensive Development Plan as a conceptual future element only. Yarra Ranges Council has carried it as a standing advocacy priority since 2017, and in May 2026 the Eastern Transport Coalition's state election platform sought $80 million for the Mooroolbark to Lilydale duplication and the new Cave Hill station, citing around 3,000 new dwellings planned within the 800m catchment. A 2022 Parliamentary Budget Office costing put the combined duplication and Kinley station package at $211 million. Level crossing removal works completed at Mooroolbark and Lilydale in 2021 were designed to lay the groundwork for future duplication and a potential new intermediate station. Note this project is distinct from the Cave Hill Road pedestrian underpass at Lilydale, which was delivered under the Level Crossing Removal Project and completed in 2024.

13,112 residents of Mooroolbark are employed, from a labour force of 13,908. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 70.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 19,781, about 80% 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
Mooroolbark features a capable workforce marked by strong building industry participation, an unemployment rate of 5.7%, and an estimated 0.9% gain in annual employment. As of March 2026, employed residents total 13,112, with unemployment registering 1.0% above the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while the participation rate mirrors the metropolitan mark of 70.1%. In addition, Census data revealed that 25.5% of working residents operated from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions during that period should be acknowledged. The primary employment sectors for local workers comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Building and trade vocations demonstrate pronounced local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, engaging only 6.9% of Mooroolbark workers against 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Comparing resident numbers to local job counts indicates that this largely residential community provides limited employment opportunities within its own boundaries. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month period, a 0.9% rise in employment alongside a 1.8% expansion in the labour pool elevated local unemployment by 0.8 percentage points. Across Greater Melbourne, employment grew by 2.1% and the labour force by 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point uptick. Long-range outlooks can be derived from national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26, which project five- and ten-year nationwide employment increases of 6.6% and 13.7%, respectively. When weighted against Mooroolbark's specific industry composition, local jobs are projected to rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, though these figures represent baseline extrapolation rather than localized population-adjusted models.

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 — 357 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (23,146 at the 2021 Census → 24,644 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 (211051281). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
