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.

Detail
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Sunbury - South is approximately 17,748 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,763 people (18.4%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 14,985 people. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 17,683 from June 2025 and 2,276 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The population density is 428 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density with space for expansion. The 18.4% population gain since the 2021 census outpaced the state average of 9.3% and the national average, positioned as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 72.1% of the population increase, with natural increase and overseas migration also contributing positively. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024, referencing a 2022 baseline, are applied by AreaSearch to each SA2. For statistical areas lacking this dataset, AreaSearch uses the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population changes from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates per age cohort from these aggregations are projected for the years 2032 to 2041. Anticipated growth is expected to place the area within the top 10 percent of all statistical areas nationally, with population projected to rise by 13,208 persons to 2041 based on recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 74.0% over the 16 years.

Hume City Council voted in May 2024 to proceed with delivery by 2029, but at its 27 April 2026 meeting the majority of councillors voted to delay the project indefinitely, citing rising costs (now estimated near $30 million against a $3.2 million Development Victoria contribution), financial risk, and slow development progress in the Sunbury South Precinct Structure Plan.Council will lobby the state government to review planning controls affected by cultural heritage approvals and will explore reinvesting the Development Victoria funding into other Sunbury projects.

9,336 residents of Sunbury - South are employed, from a labour force of 9,660. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 66.5%. 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. 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 - South is characterised by a skilled workforce and strong representation in essential services, showing an unemployment rate of 3.4% and steady employment levels over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 9,336 residents are employed, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.4% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. Workforce participation stands at 66.5%, which is lower than the Greater Melbourne rate of 70.2%. Census data indicates that 25.8% of the local workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The dominant industries employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
The workforce shows a notable concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, which is 1.9 times the regional average share. By contrast, professional & technical services employ only 5.4% of workers, compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. The ratio of local workers to resident population suggests that a significant portion of the working population travels to other areas for employment. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment levels rise by 0.5% while the labor force contracted by 0.5%, resulting in a 1.0 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Sunbury - South. These five and ten-year projections have been integrated with the local industry profile to estimate future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change varies by sector. Applying these figures to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, noting this is a weighted extrapolation based on industry shares and excludes local population changes.

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 — 2,276 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,985 at the 2021 Census → 17,748 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.
