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
Taylors Lakes has an estimated 16,906 residents. 207 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 916 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 resident count in Taylors Lakes stands at approximately 16,906 as of Aug 2026. This represents a contraction of 4 people (virtually no change) compared to the 16,910 people documented in the 2021 Census. Such figures are derived by combining the ABS estimated resident population of 16,897 as of June 2025 with 207 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, population density settles at 915 persons per square kilometer, tracking closely with broader benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations. The local growth trajectory of essentially no change since census trails the SA3 area (2.2%) by 2.2 percentage points, demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals.
Inward overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 74.7% of total net additions in recent times. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries. Where coverage is absent, figures from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset are integrated via a population growth weighted aggregation model transitioning from LGA down to SA2 divisions. These aggregations also provide age-specific expansion trajectories applied to every locality for 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, demographic patterns suggest local expansion will sit slightly below nationwide SA2 medians, with the community projected to add 690 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, translating to an overall rise of 4.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
219 new dwellings have been approved in Taylors Lakes over the past five years, an average of 43 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 44 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 89% 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
Residential building approvals across Taylors Lakes have averaged around 43 new homes annually, totaling 219 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Given the minor population contractions lately, incoming stock appears well balanced with demand and offers ample options to prospective buyers, with newly built units carrying an average construction cost of $523,000. Furthermore, $32.6 million in commercial approvals was logged during this financial year, underscoring solid local commercial investment. Residential building output per capita in Taylors Lakes trails Greater Melbourne by 16.0% and ranks in the 18th percentile of all examined locations throughout the country, thereby limiting buyer selection and reinforcing buyer demand for established dwellings.
Such below-average nationwide volume illustrates the mature stage of the suburb alongside potential planning controls. Detached houses account for 89.0% of recent residential authorizations, while medium and high-density housing makes up 11.0%, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood fabric tailored for families wanting larger floorplans. The calculated ratio of 789 people per residential approval emphasizes the subdued pace of building across the district. Long-term demographic models indicate Taylors Lakes will add 680 residents through to 2041 (benchmarked against the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update). Matching this with prevailing building volumes suggests housing creation will easily accommodate future demand, cultivating favorable purchasing dynamics and potentially facilitating growth exceeding existing demographic forecasts.

10,285 residents of Taylors Lakes are employed, from a labour force of 10,578. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 72.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 14,210, about 84% 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
Taylors Lakes benefits from a skilled labor force distributed across varied industries, paired with an unemployment rate of just 2.8% and an estimated 1.9% rise in employment over the preceding year. There are 10,285 working residents as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 2.0% lower than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, accompanied by solid workforce involvement (72.4% locally versus 70.1% across Greater Melbourne). Census records indicate that 25.7% of working locals operated from home, though this metric was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors employing local workers are construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
Transport, postal & warehousing exhibits a pronounced local concentration, capturing a workforce proportion 1.7 times the metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance is comparatively underrepresented locally, engaging 10.5% of workers against 14.2% across the wider region. Comparing local jobs recorded at the Census to the residing workforce suggests internal job opportunities within the suburb remain relatively contained. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM releases reveal both workforce numbers and local employment expanded by 1.9% over the 12-month period, keeping the local unemployment rate largely unchanged. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% climb in employment alongside a 2.3% rise in the overall labor force, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide an outlook on incoming labor requirements across Taylors Lakes. Combining these five- and ten-year nationwide sectoral forecasts with the local workforce distribution yields an estimated local employment increase of 6.1% over five years and 12.7% over ten years, compared to Australian projections of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note this simple weighted modeling is for contextual illustration and excludes localized demographic adjustments).

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 — 207 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,910 at the 2021 Census → 16,906 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 (213011340). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
