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.

Mount Waverley - South has an estimated 20,721 residents, up from 19,265 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,456 people, or 7.6%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 152 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase.

Detail
Demographic analysis from AreaSearch indicates that Mount Waverley - South has reached a population of approximately 20,721 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 1,456 people (7.6%) compared to the 19,265 people recorded during the 2021 Census. This upward trend is established using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population figure of 20,659 alongside 152 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, the local population density stands at 2,381 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile among nationwide areas reviewed by AreaSearch. With post-census expansion reaching 7.6%, the district sits within 1.9 percentage points of the broader state rate (9.5%), underscoring solid demographic momentum.
Inflow from abroad served as the core catalyst for these gains, functioning as practically the exclusive contributor to recent local population growth. Projections for the SA2 territory draw upon ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling released in 2024 using 2022 as baseline data. Where specific SA2 coverage is absent, AreaSearch integrates 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections via a weighted aggregation framework translating LGA trends down to SA2 boundaries. Age-bracket growth rates derived from this modeling are similarly applied to all zones for 2032 through to 2041. Looking toward long-term demographic trajectories, the area is projected to experience substantial growth that ranks in the top quartile of statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch. Calculations grounded in the most recent annual ERP figures anticipate an influx of 5,091 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 24.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
584 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Waverley - South over the past five years, an average of 116 a year. That places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 117 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 61% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Residential planning approvals in Mount Waverley - South average roughly 116 homes annually, accumulating to 584 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Given that approximately 1 people per year entered the community per new residence constructed throughout the past 5 financial years (from FY-22 through FY-26), residential development has matched population demand evenly, fostering balanced property conditions. Furthermore, building authorizations show an average construction value of $805,000 per dwelling, highlighting builder focus on upscale, high-value projects. Alongside residential activity, commercial building approvals have reached $27.2 million over this financial year, reflecting sustained non-residential development.
Per-capita building rates in Mount Waverley - South closely mirror those across Greater Melbourne, reinforcing broader metropolitan development stability. Detached dwellings represent 61.0% of freshly approved stock, while townhouses and apartments make up the remaining 39.0%, providing a varied spectrum of accommodation that accommodates both traditional family living and entry-level attached housing. Averaging roughly 167 people per dwelling approval, the locality exhibits key attributes typical of an active growth corridor. Demographic projections indicate that Mount Waverley - South is set to welcome 5,029 residents between the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figure and 2041. If local building velocity remains at existing rates, residential additions could fall behind incoming resident numbers, potentially intensifying housing competition and supporting upward pressure on asset values.

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 — 152 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (19,265 at the 2021 Census → 20,721 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 (212051324). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
