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
Sunbury has an estimated 15,393 residents, up from 13,671 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,722 people, or 12.6%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. 810 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 63.8% of that increase. That puts 119 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 findings by AreaSearch, the resident count of Sunbury stands at approximately 15,393 as of Aug 2026. Comparing this to the 2021 Census tally of 13,671 people, the community has expanded by 1,722 people (12.6%). This trajectory is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 15,364 as of June 2025 alongside 810 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With a resulting population density of 118 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living space alongside ample capacity for future expansion. Outpacing both state (9.5%) and broader national figures, Sunbury's 12.6% expansion rate since the 2021 census positions it at the forefront of regional growth.
Inward interstate migration served as the core catalyst, generating roughly 63.8% of recent population additions, though positive contributions were likewise recorded across overseas migration and natural growth. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia (anchored to 2022) form the foundation of AreaSearch's SA2 modelling. When an SA2 falls outside this dataset, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts are converted via a weighted aggregation framework to map growth from LGA down to SA2 zones. Age-specific rates derived through this method are further integrated across all territories spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the statistical area is slated for exceptional expansion that ranks within the top 10 percent of regions evaluated by AreaSearch, with projections based on the latest annual ERP figures indicating a gain of 11,425 persons to 2041, corresponding to a 74.0% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,180 new dwellings have been approved in Sunbury over the past five years, an average of 236 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 15 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 236 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% 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 approval volumes in Sunbury have tracked at a yearly mean of roughly 236, culminating in 1,180 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Housing delivery and population intake appear balanced, with approximately 1.3 new residents entering per completed dwelling annually across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), underpinning orderly market conditions. Building costs for new residential stock average $401,000, aligning with regional benchmarks. Meanwhile, commercial construction activity has remained subdued, with commercial approvals generating $4.3 million in the current financial year. Per capita residential building volumes in Sunbury sit 14.0% lower than the Greater Melbourne standard, yet the locality places in the 91st percentile nationwide, demonstrating substantial development momentum and builder appetite.
The incoming stock is overwhelmingly targeted toward spacious family accommodation, consisting of 94.0% detached houses and 6.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood fabric. Recording roughly 64 people per dwelling approval, the district displays hallmark indicators of an emerging growth corridor. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Sunbury is anticipated to welcome 11,396 residents by 2041. Should current construction tempos persist, dwelling creation could fall behind demographic growth, potentially intensifying buyer rivalry and driving upward pressure on home values.

8,533 residents of Sunbury are employed, from a labour force of 8,775. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 70.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 12,170, about 79% 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
Sunbury's labor pool demonstrates strong technical capability, highlighted by high involvement in building and trade sectors, an unemployment rate sitting at only 2.8%, and steady job conditions throughout the preceding year. As of March 2026, 8,533 residents are actively employed. The local jobless rate sits 2.0% under the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, while participation matches the metropolitan level of 70.1%. Census records show 24.7% of workers operated from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time must be factored in. Sunbury's resident workforce is predominantly concentrated within construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
The locality exhibits heavy occupational concentration in construction, capturing a 1.6 times greater share than regional levels. Conversely, professional & technical roles are notably under-indexed, engaging only 5.3% of local workers relative to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Comparing Census workplace locations against resident worker tallies indicates relatively few employment positions situated directly within the suburb. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.6% while overall employment grew by 0.2%, pushing the unemployment rate down by 0.8 percentage points. This diverges from Greater Melbourne, which recorded a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% rise in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage points lift in unemployment. Sectoral demand trends can be further evaluated through Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections. Nationwide forecasts anticipate employment expanding by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variation by sector. Applying these national industry growth rates across Sunbury's specific workforce distribution points to local employment expansions of 6.3% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (noting this relies on illustrative weighted extrapolation rather than localized 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 — 810 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,671 at the 2021 Census → 15,393 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 (210041240). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
