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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population residing in Murrumbeena stands at approximately 10,298 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 929 people (9.9%) relative to the 2021 Census, when 9,369 people were counted. Such demographic movement is determined using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population figure of 10,126 alongside 122 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With this headcount, population density reaches 4,102 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb among the top 10% of all territories evaluated by AreaSearch nationally and underlining the premium on local real estate.
Outperforming both the broader state and the SA4 region (8.2%), the local growth rate of 9.9% since the 2021 census positions the locality as a leading growth area. Net overseas migration served as the primary demographic catalyst, generating roughly 87.7% of all recent population additions. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In instances where specific SA2 areas lack coverage within that dataset, AreaSearch incorporates VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts from 2023, applying weighted aggregation techniques to step down LGA figures to the SA2 level. Cohort-specific growth rates derived from this modeling are similarly integrated across every district for 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, local demographic trajectory is projected to outpace the national median, with the community anticipated to expand by 2,077 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which represents an overall increase of 18.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
247 new dwellings have been approved in Murrumbeena over the past five years, an average of 49 a year. That is 5.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 49 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 27% 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
Dwelling approvals in Murrumbeena have averaged roughly 49 residential properties annually, culminating in 247 homes across the past 5 financial years. Balanced market conditions have been supported by an influx of 1.4 new residents per approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (spanning FY-22 and FY-26), although a recent uptick to 5.4 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years points toward mounting demand and a tighter pipeline. Demonstrating a focus on premium building standards, approved residential projects reflect an average construction value of $584,000, which sits moderately above wider regional figures.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $19.7 million this financial year, reflecting steady non-residential development. Per-capita building activity in Murrumbeena closely matches Greater Melbourne, sustaining an equilibrium in line with metropolitan patterns. Recent residential construction volume is divided between 27.0% detached dwellings and 73.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward medium and higher-density living offers attainable choices tailored for first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a distinct transition away from the prevailing built environment (where houses represent 48.0%), highlighting land constraints as well as changing lifestyle demands for accessible, multi-tiered accommodation. The ratio of approximately 327 people per dwelling approval demonstrates the established nature of the precinct. Moving forward, projections indicate Murrumbeena will add 1,905 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Although residential building activity continues to track demographic expansion at a reasonable rate, prospective buyers may encounter heightened market competition as local numbers grow.

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
A well-qualified talent pool characterizes Murrumbeena, supported by prominent representation across professional sectors and an unemployment rate standing at 4.7%. As of March 2026, 6,011 residents are employed, with the local jobless rate mirroring the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, alongside a typical labor participation rate of 73.4% versus 70.1% for Greater Melbourne. In addition, 43.9% of the local workforce reported working remotely at the Census, although pandemic-related lockdown measures during that period must be factored into interpretation. Health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training constitute the primary industries employing local residents.
Specialization is especially pronounced in professional & technical fields, where the local concentration stands at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, the construction sector accounts for a relatively modest 6.9% of employment compared to 9.7% regionally. Given the disparity between Census working population numbers and the total resident workforce, this predominantly residential neighborhood generates comparatively few local employment positions. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM releases indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.3% while total employment fell by 1.2%, driving a 0.8 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. In contrast, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.1% expansion in employment, a 2.3% increase in labor supply, and a 0.2 percentage points rise in unemployment. Long-term employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further context regarding emerging labor demand in Murrumbeena. These five- and ten-year models have been weighted against the local occupational makeup to project prospective growth. While national headcounts are projected to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, trajectory varies markedly across sectors. Applying these sectoral trajectories to the resident industry profile indicates local employment could rise 7.0% across five years and 14.2% over ten years (note that this illustrative model relies on simple weighting without factoring in localized population shifts).

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 Aug 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 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 (208021181). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
