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.

Newcomb - Moolap has an estimated 15,212 residents, down from 15,462 at the 2021 Census — a change of 250 people, or 1.6%. 113 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 351 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 evaluation by AreaSearch, the population of Newcomb - Moolap is approximately 15,212 in May 2026. This represents a contraction of 250 individuals (1.6%) from the 15,462 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 15,188 alongside 113 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 351 persons per square kilometer, which offers ample room per inhabitant and potential capacity for subsequent growth. The primary contributor to local population increases was overseas migration, which functioned as the sole source of population expansion in recent times.
AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch applies the Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government released in 2023, modifying them through weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 tiers. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are also utilized across all locations for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking at future population trends, regional zones across the country are expected to experience above median growth, with this specific location projected to expand by 2,119 residents by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, which represents a total rise of 13.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
188 new dwellings have been approved in Newcomb - Moolap over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 50% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, broadly in line with 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
Approximately 37 new residential dwellings receive approval annually in Newcomb - Moolap, totaling 188 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 26 during FY-26 so far. Because the population contracted during the prior period, the volume of housing supply has remained sufficient compared to demand, yielding a balanced market with ample options for buyers, while new residences are constructed at a mean value of $265,000. Furthermore, $28.1 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, pointing to steady commercial construction flow.
Relative to Rest of Vic., building approvals in Newcomb - Moolap are notably scarce (77.0% below the regional per capita average). This restricted supply pipeline generally reinforces demand and prices for pre-existing houses. Activity is also below the national standard, reflecting the established state of the locality and pointing to possible planning constraints. Newly approved construction is split between 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% medium or high density options like townhouses and apartments. This concentration of higher density options provides more affordable entry routes and draws downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock (where houses make up 87.0%), indicating a shrinking pool of buildable land and reflecting evolving lifestyles and a demand for more varied, economical housing choices. The ratio of 657 people per single building approval highlights the quiet, low-intensity construction environment in the area. Demographic forecasts project that Newcomb - Moolap will add 2,094 inhabitants up to 2041 (starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). If the present pace of building persists, the supply of homes may fall short of population gains, which could intensify buyer competition and bolster price appreciation.

6,987 residents of Newcomb - Moolap are employed, from a labour force of 7,623. Unemployment sits at 8.3%, with participation at 57.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 workforce of Newcomb - Moolap shows a balanced distribution between white-collar and blue-collar occupations, with strong representation in essential service sectors, an unemployment rate of 8.3%, and consistent employment levels over the prior year. In March 2026, 6,987 local citizens are employed, while the unemployment rate of 4.7% sits above the 3.7% recorded in Regional Vic., indicating room for labor market gains, and the participation rate is relatively low (57.8% relative to 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census data indicates that a modest 13.2% of workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdowns.
Resident jobs are heavily weighted toward health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community exhibits a strong concentration in retail trade, where the employment proportion is 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.8% of the local workforce, compared to the regional proportion of 7.5%. The area seems to provide few local jobs, as shown by the relationship between the Census working population and the resident labor force. Based on AreaSearch research using SALM and ABS statistics, the latest 12-month period saw a contraction of 0.9% in the labor force and a 0.1% decline in employed residents, causing the unemployment rate to drop by 0.7 percentage points. For comparison, Regional Vic. experienced a 0.1% decline in employment, a 0.3% drop in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point fall in unemployment. Long-term national employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context regarding future demand in Newcomb - Moolap. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although the nationwide workforce is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry-level patterns onto the workforce mix of Newcomb - Moolap indicates local employment could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (this represents a direct weighted extrapolation for demonstration 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 — 113 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,462 at the 2021 Census → 15,212 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (203021045). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
