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
Murrumbeena has an estimated 10,298 residents, up from 9,369 at the 2021 Census — a change of 929 people, or 9.9%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. 122 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 87.7% of that increase. That puts 4,103 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 projections from AreaSearch, the population of Murrumbeena is approximately 10,298 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 929 residents (9.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 9,369 individuals. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 10,126 alongside 122 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Consequently, the local population density stands at 4,102 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the highest 10% of all evaluated Australian communities, pointing to highly competitive land demand. The 9.9% growth rate of Murrumbeena since the 2021 Census outpaced both the broader SA4 region (8.0%) and the state average, positioning it as a leading local growth area.
This population growth was largely propelled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 87.7% of the total demographic expansion in recent times. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch employs the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this specific coverage, figures are derived from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via a weighted aggregation methodology that scales population increases from the LGA down to the SA2 level. The age bracket growth rates calculated from these aggregations are also projected forward for all locations spanning the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts point to above-average population growth across nationwide statistical areas, with Murrumbeena anticipated to add 2,081 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total expansion of 18.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
241 new dwellings have been approved in Murrumbeena over the past five years, an average of 48 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 44 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 23% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 26, 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
Murrumbeena records approximately 48 residential building approvals annually, with a total of 241 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 24 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. An average of 1.5 individuals migrated to the suburb for each new home constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demonstrating a balanced alignment between local supply and demand that fosters stable market conditions. Newly built properties carry an average construction value of $511,000, which highlights developer activity targeted at the high-end residential sector with premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $19.7 million have been documented during the current financial year, demonstrating consistent commercial investment. Per capita building approvals in Murrumbeena represent roughly three-quarters of the volume seen across Greater Melbourne, though it ranks in the 80th percentile of all localities nationally, with construction activity accelerating in recent times. New housing approvals are split between 23.0% detached houses and 77.0% semi-detached properties, townhouses, or apartments. This focus on higher-density projects provides more affordable purchasing opportunities and attracts downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. This pattern marks a clear departure from the suburb's existing housing stock, where houses make up 48.0% of properties, indicating a dwindling supply of vacant land for detached builds and reflecting shifting resident preferences for diverse, cost-effective living spaces. The area has approximately 188 people per dwelling approval, showing a growing market. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Murrumbeena's population is projected to grow by 1,909 residents by 2041. Construction is proceeding at a speed that aligns well with this anticipated growth, though home buyers may face heightened competition as the local population climbs.

6,011 residents of Murrumbeena are employed, from a labour force of 6,308. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 73.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,967, about 77% 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 Murrumbeena is highly educated, featuring a strong concentration of professionals and an unemployment rate of 4.7%. As of March 2026, 6,011 local residents are employed, with the unemployment rate closely matching the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%. The labor force participation rate is solid, standing at 73.4% compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census records show that a high proportion of employed residents, at 43.9%, worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training.
The suburb exhibits a notable concentration in professional & technical services, with its employment share in this sector reaching 1.4 times the regional average. In contrast, the construction sector is underrepresented, employing 6.9% of the local workforce compared to 9.7% across the region. Comparisons between the census working population and the resident population suggest that this residential suburb offers relatively few local jobs. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the 12 months ending March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 0.3% while the number of employed residents fell by 1.2%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.8 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Melbourne, which saw employment grow by 2.1%, the overall labor force expand by 2.3%, and unemployment rise by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective employment trends in Murrumbeena. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate future growth. Although total employment nationwide is projected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these industry-specific projections directly to the employment structure of Murrumbeena suggests local employment could grow by 7.0% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, though this is a simple weighted extrapolation 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 — 122 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,369 at the 2021 Census → 10,298 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.
