Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Rosedale

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Rosedale has an estimated 5,037 residents, up from 4,928 at the 2021 Census — a change of 109 people, or 2.2%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years, slower than 79% of areas nationally. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Rosedale stands at approximately 5,037 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 109 individuals (2.2%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 4,928 residents. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,020 alongside 88 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The density of the area is 5.2 persons per square kilometer, offering residents significant personal space. This 2.2% post-census growth rate is close to the SA3 region's expansion of 2.4%, differing by just 0.2 percentage points and highlighting stable local growth.

The expansion was chiefly fueled by net interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 42.5% of the overall population rise, though other components like natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch uses demographic projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions omitted from this dataset, projections are derived from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, scaled from the LGA to the SA2 level via weighted growth calculations. Age group expansion rates from these models are also applied to all study areas for the period 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the locality is projected to experience substantial growth, placing it in the top quarter of non-metropolitan zones in Australia, with an estimated rise of 1,106 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a total expansion of 21.6% over a 16-year timeframe.

Detail

Dwelling approvals in Rosedale have run at a yearly average of about 21, totaling 108 residential approvals over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and reaching 18 during the current FY-26 period. The local market appears balanced with a ratio of 1.4 new residents moving in for every built home during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, which supports stable conditions, though this metric has climbed to 3.5 people per home over the last 2 financial years, pointing to rising local demand and potential housing constraints.

Newly built dwellings have a mean estimated value of $321,000. Furthermore, the area has logged $31.3 million in commercial development approvals during this financial year, indicating a healthy level of business investment. When compared to Rest of Vic., Rosedale registers approximately three-quarters of the volume of new home approvals per capita, placing it in the 58th percentile among all assessed localities nationwide.

Demographic projections indicate Rosedale's population will rise by 1,089 residents by 2041 relative to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. While construction activity is keeping pace with this growth reasonably well, home buyers could experience heightened competition as the local population increases.

Development approvals is a new addition to AreaSearch. We’re actively expanding council coverage and refining the dataset — details and statuses for some councils may be partial. Check back regularly for the latest pipeline.
Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 7 applications for Rosedale, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

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 — 88 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,928 at the 2021 Census → 5,037 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 (205051102). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Rosedale SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Rosedale page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Rosedale data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2025) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
