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.

The population has thinned by an average 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 95% of areas nationally. That puts 2,094 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to findings from AreaSearch, the population of Narre Warren South - East is estimated at approximately 13,022 in May 2026. This indicates a loss of 130 people (1.0%) from the 2021 Census figure of 13,152 people. This shift is calculated from ABS estimated resident population data showing 13,022 in June 2025 alongside address verification processes carried out post-Census. With these numbers, the population density stands at 2,093 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical density of locations analyzed nationally by AreaSearch. The main factor driving population growth in the area was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 69.8% of the total population increases in recent times.
AreaSearch implements ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch applies the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2023, modifying them via a weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA level down to the SA2 level. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are also utilized for all locations from 2032 to 2041. Based on ongoing demographic trends, the area is projected to experience population growth above the median of locations analyzed by AreaSearch, with an expected increase of 1,537 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing an overall expansion of 11.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
An average of approximately 3 new residential approvals have been recorded annually in Narre Warren South - East, totaling 19 home approvals over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 6 during FY-26 so far. As the population has contracted in recent times, this level of new supply has probably matched local demand to give purchasers sufficient options, with new dwellings being constructed at an average value of $244,000—below the wider region's average—pointing to relatively cheap housing choices. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $855,000 during the current financial year, which reinforces the area's main focus on residential properties.
Narre Warren South - East shows significantly lower levels of construction activity when compared directly with Greater Melbourne. This limited flow of new builds typically helps to sustain demand and values for established properties. Activity is similarly subdued compared to national trends, indicating a mature market and highlighting potential constraints on development. In addition, all recent construction projects have consisted of detached houses, preserving the established suburban environment of the area with its emphasis on family homes designed for occupants who value space. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, future forecasts indicate that Narre Warren South - East will grow by 1,537 residents by 2041. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of housing may fall short of population gains, which could intensify competition among buyers and underpin faster appreciation in home values.

7,576 residents of Narre Warren South - East are employed, from a labour force of 7,944. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 74.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,892, about 76% 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
There is a skilled workforce residing in Narre Warren South - East, with the building and construction sector being particularly highly represented, an unemployment rate of 4.6%, and estimated growth in employment of 4.3% over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,576 while the rate of unemployment was 0.1% below the 4.8% recorded for Greater Melbourne, and the participation rate was moderate (74.4% compared with 70.2% in Greater Melbourne). Census returns indicate that a moderate 22.7% of the workforce worked from home, although this may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The manufacturing industry shows a particularly strong concentration locally, with employment rates at 1.5 times the average across the region. On the other hand, professional & technical services are underrepresented at 5.4% compared to the regional average of 10.1%. Because it is mostly a residential district, the area seems to present few local employment positions, as shown by comparing the count of the Census working population against the resident population. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics indicates that employment rose by 4.3% and the labor force grew by 4.5% during the 12-month period, which led to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Greater Melbourne, employment expanded by 2.1%, the labor force grew by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate increased by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends in Narre Warren South - East. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local workforce composition to estimate future growth trajectories. While total employment nationally is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expected growth rates vary considerably across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of Narre Warren South - East suggests a local employment increase of 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population growth projections).

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,152 at the 2021 Census → 13,022 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.
