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
Strathmore has an estimated 10,541 residents, up from 10,031 at the 2021 Census — a change of 510 people, or 5.1%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 84.3% of that increase. That puts 2,546 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 Strathmore stands at approximately 10,541 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 510 people (5.1%) following the 2021 Census, which tallied 10,031 people. This adjustment draws upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 10,536 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 45 validated new addresses added following the Census. Consequently, the local density reaches 2,546 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb within the upper quartile among nationwide territories assessed by AreaSearch. Strathmore's 5.1% expansion outpaced the broader SA3 area (4.9%), establishing it as a regional growth outperformer.
Population expansion was predominantly fueled by overseas migration, responsible for roughly 84.3% of total resident additions across recent timeframes, though natural growth alongside interstate migration likewise provided positive contributions. AreaSearch implements SA2 projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia, released in 2024 utilizing 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 locations lack direct coverage, VIC State Government Regional/LGA figures published in 2023 are applied through a weighted aggregation process translating LGA projections to the SA2 tier. Age-specific expansion rates derived via this aggregation are similarly utilized across every district for 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, statistical areas evaluated by AreaSearch project above-median expansion, with Strathmore anticipated to expand by 1,252 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP statistics, equating to an overall increase of 11.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
318 new dwellings have been approved in Strathmore over the past five years, an average of 63 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 64 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 44% 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 consent figures across Strathmore show approximately 63 residential building permits granted annually, amounting to 318 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Given that only 0.8 people per year moved into the neighborhood per residence completed throughout the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local construction is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, supplying purchasers with varied options and unlocking capacity for population expansion beyond current forecasts. Furthermore, newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $830,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on high-end, premium housing.
In addition, $8.1 million in commercial building permits was recorded this financial year, reflecting modest activity in commercial construction. Per capita building approvals in Strathmore run 10.0% less than Greater Melbourne, positioning the area within the 69th percentile nationwide. Upcoming housing development is distributed between 44.0% detached houses and 56.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward medium and high density unlocks accessible price tiers tailored to downsizers, property investors, and first-home buyers. It marks a clear departure from the prevailing housing stock (which stands at 77.0% houses), signaling diminished supplies of subdivisible land along with changing lifestyle preferences and an appetite for diverse, cost-effective residential options. With roughly 186 people per approval, Strathmore maintains the profile of a low-density suburb. According to the latest quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Strathmore is expected to expand by 1,247 residents through to 2041. At present rates of construction, residential building activity appears well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, fostering favorable buying environments while creating headroom for growth that could exceed anticipated projections.

6,237 residents of Strathmore are employed, from a labour force of 6,325. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 72.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,151, 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
The local labour market features a highly educated demographic with solid representation in professional services, a minimal unemployment rate of 1.4%, and steady job conditions over the past twelve months. As of March 2026, 6,237 residents are actively employed, with local unemployment tracking 3.4% below the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, and participation aligning closely with the metropolitan rate of 70.1%. Census records indicated that 38.4% of employed locals carried out their duties from home, though pandemic-related lockdown measures during that period must be kept in mind. Local resident employment is heavily weighted toward health care & social assistance, education & training, alongside professional & technical services.
A distinctive specialization exists in public administration & safety, where the area's workforce concentration reaches 1.4 times the regional proportion. Meanwhile, health care & social assistance accounts for 12.1% of working locals, trailing the 14.2% benchmark across Greater Melbourne. Comparison between resident workers and local employment figures from the Census illustrates that this primarily residential community generates limited workplace opportunities within its own borders. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM releases, the preceding 12-month period recorded a 0.6% contraction in the labour force alongside a 0.3% drop in total employment, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.1% increase in employment and 2.3% growth in the labour force, alongside a 0.2 percentage points rise in unemployment. National outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment prospects in Strathmore. These five- and ten-year projections map industry trajectories against local workforce patterns. While Australia-wide employment is anticipated to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, individual sectors demonstrate distinct trajectories. Applying these sector weights directly to Strathmore's workforce suggests local employment will rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (representing a direct illustrative weighting that omits specific localized population models).

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 — 45 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,031 at the 2021 Census → 10,541 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 (210011231). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
