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 Strathmore

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

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 calculations by AreaSearch, the resident count in Strathmore is close to 10,541 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 510 individuals (5.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 10,031 residents. This shift is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 10,536 in June 2025 plus 44 validated new addresses recorded after the Census. This population level translates to 2,546 persons per square kilometer, which is in the top quartile of all nationwide territories analyzed by AreaSearch. The local expansion rate of 5.1% since the 2021 census was higher than the wider SA3 region (4.9%), establishing the area as a regional growth hotspot.

Population gains were mostly fueled by incoming overseas migrants, who made up about 84.3% of the total increase in recent times, though all components including natural increase and interstate migration remained positive. AreaSearch implements the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any 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 to the SA2 level. The age structure growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for the period 2032 to 2041. Based on these projected demographic transitions, population growth is anticipated to exceed the national median, with the locality projected to add 1,260 persons by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total increase of 11.9% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Strathmore

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

330 new dwellings have been approved in Strathmore over the past five years, an average of 66 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 55 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 40% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, well below 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

Strathmore records approximately 66 residential building approvals annually, summing to 330 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 45 approvals have been registered. Given that only 0.8 people moved to the neighborhood for every new home built over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the volume of new housing is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, providing buyers with plenty of options and creating space for population expansion beyond current predictions. The average value of these new constructions is $640,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the upscale market with high-end projects.

Furthermore, $8.1 million in commercial building approvals have been logged this financial year, highlighting the area's predominantly residential character. Compared to the broader Greater Melbourne region, Strathmore registers comparable per-capita construction volumes, keeping the local housing market in a balanced state consistent with neighboring areas. Current residential construction consists of 40.0% standalone houses and 60.0% medium or high-density dwellings like townhouses and apartments. This emphasis on higher-density builds provides more cost-effective options for buyers and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major departure from the existing housing stock, which is 77.0% houses, showing the dwindling supply of development land and responding to changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. The area averages about 151 people per residential approval, pointing to a low density property market. Looking ahead, the population of Strathmore is projected to expand by 1,255 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially allowing for population growth that outpaces current forecasts.

Development applications around Strathmore

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 14 applications for Strathmore, 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.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Strathmore

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

6,237 residents of Strathmore are employed, from a labour force of 6,325. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 72.3%. 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 workforce is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professionals, an exceptionally low unemployment rate of 1.4%, and consistent employment metrics over the past year. In March 2026, there are 6,237 employed residents, and the local unemployment rate sits 3.4% below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%. Participation in the labour market is typical, sitting at 72.3% compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census data shows that a substantial 38.4% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services. The community shows a high concentration of workers in public administration & safety, with employment rates 1.4 times the regional norm. In contrast, health care & social assistance is underrepresented locally at 12.1% compared to the regional figure of 14.2%. Because it is a mostly residential suburb, local employment opportunities appear limited based on the ratio of local jobs to working residents. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the year ending March 2026 saw the local labour force contract by 0.6% and employment fall by 0.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% rise in employment and a 2.3% expansion of its labour force, with its unemployment rate increasing by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future employment paths. While overall national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Extrapolating these industry projections to the local workforce profile suggests employment in Strathmore could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and excludes local population dynamics.

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 — 44 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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 (210011231). 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 Strathmore 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 Strathmore 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 Strathmore 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 (Dec 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.
