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
Ocean Grove has an estimated 20,869 residents, up from 19,394 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,475 people, or 7.6%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years. 543 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 63.6% of that increase. That puts 304 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 demographic evaluations by AreaSearch, the population of Ocean Grove stands at approximately 20,869 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 1,475 people (7.6%) following the 2021 Census tally of 19,394 people. Such growth is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population figure of 20,794 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 543 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. Overall density reaches 303 persons per square kilometer, maintaining generous open space for inhabitants alongside capacity for upcoming residential construction. Surpassing the 4.4% benchmark recorded across Rest of Vic., Ocean Grove's 7.6% expansion positions it as a leading regional growth hub.
Inward interstate migration served as the primary contributor, generating roughly 63.6% of recent net additions, complemented by positive gains from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 (taking 2022 as baseline), whereas areas outside this dataset use the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA figures published in 2023 via a weighted aggregation framework converting LGA figures down to SA2 zones. From 2032 to 2041, age-cohort growth trajectories derived from these aggregations are applied to every territory. Projected population dynamics point toward top-tier expansion placing the district within the top 10 percent of non-metropolitan zones nationwide, with expectations to gain 9,724 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, amounting to a 46.2% cumulative increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,037 new dwellings have been approved in Ocean Grove over the past five years, an average of 207 a year. That places the area in the 88th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 207 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 79% 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
Residential planning approvals in Ocean Grove have tracked at approximately 207 dwellings annually, accumulating to 1,037 homes throughout the preceding 5 financial years. Across this timeframe (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 1.9 people arrived per completed dwelling each year, demonstrating healthy equilibrium between residential building activity and inbound demand. Average construction costs per new dwelling sit slightly above regional standards at $555,000, pointing toward premium building standards. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $2.1 million in the current financial year, highlighting an ongoing emphasis on residential property. Per capita dwelling approval volumes in Ocean Grove track at around three-quarters of the pace recorded in Rest of Vic., positioning the locality in the 79th percentile nationally.
Building approvals feature a distinct emphasis on standalone housing, with detached dwellings representing 79.0% and attached dwellings accounting for 21.0%, thereby preserving low-density neighbourhoods suitable for families prioritising living space. Displaying approximately 137 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical growth-corridor characteristics. Forecasts from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update anticipate an influx of 9,647 residents into Ocean Grove by 2041. Should future residential construction proceed only at current volumes, building completions could fall behind population intake, potentially heightening competition across the market and driving sustained capital growth.

10,595 residents of Ocean Grove are employed, from a labour force of 10,808. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 63.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 18,270, about 88% 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
Ocean Grove features an educated resident workforce heavily oriented toward vital services, accompanied by an unemployment rate of only 2.0%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 10,595, with the jobless rate tracking 1.7% lower than the 3.7% recorded in Regional Vic., while local labour participation stands at 63.7% versus 61.1% in Regional Vic.. According to Census returns, 28.5% of working residents operated from home, a metric influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions. Local workers are predominantly active within health care & social assistance, construction, as well as education & training. The education & training sector displays notable concentration, holding an employment proportion 1.4 times the regional standard.
Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.0% of local workers, well below the 7.5% share observed across Regional Vic.. Evaluating Census workplace destinations against resident worker counts reveals that local business employment capacity remains relatively constrained. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics over the preceding 12-month period reveals a 0.8% contraction in the overall labour force alongside a 0.7% decrease in total employment, maintaining stable jobless figures locally. In comparison, Regional Vic. registered a 0.1% decline in employment, a 0.3% drop in the labour pool, and a 0.2 percentage points decrease in unemployment. Future labour demand patterns can be evaluated via Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26. Extrapolating these five- and ten-year national trajectories across the local industry distribution suggests employment growth of 6.9% across five years and 14.0% over ten years, against national baseline forecasts of 6.6% and 13.7% respectively (representing an illustrative weighting calculation that does not factor in specific localised demographic 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 — 543 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (19,394 at the 2021 Census → 20,869 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 (203031490). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
