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 Tullamarine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Tullamarine has an estimated 6,768 residents, up from 6,576 at the 2021 Census — a change of 192 people, or 2.9%. 108 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,753 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 population of Tullamarine stands at approximately 6,768 as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 192 people (2.9%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 6,576 people. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 6,727 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 108 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, the local population density reaches 1,753 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Inbound international migration served as the principal demographic driver, accounting for roughly 72.7% of all net population additions in recent times.

SA2 geographic projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, utilizing 2022 as their baseline year, have been incorporated into AreaSearch's modeling. Where specific SA2 locations lack direct coverage, AreaSearch applies the 2023 Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government, adjusting numbers through weighted aggregation from local government areas down to SA2 zones. Age-specific expansion rates calculated via these aggregations are similarly projected across all regions between 2032 and 2041. Over the coming years, Tullamarine is anticipated to experience substantial growth placed within the upper quartile of territories tracked by AreaSearch; relying on the most recent annual ERP figures, an additional 2,428 persons are projected by 2041, translating to an overall expansion of 35.3% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Tullamarine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

205 new dwellings have been approved in Tullamarine over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That is 6.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 41 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% 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 in Tullamarine have tracked at an annual mean of roughly 41 dwellings, accumulating to 205 homes throughout the last 5 financial years. Given that the local population has been declining, this volume of construction has likely matched incoming demand and provided ample selection for purchasers, with newly approved residences carrying an average construction cost of $361,000—below broader regional benchmarks—suggesting relatively affordable building options. Meanwhile, commercial building approvals have totaled $623,000 during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly domestic nature of the precinct. On an individual resident basis, per-capita construction volumes in Tullamarine equate to roughly 58% of the pace recorded across Greater Melbourne, placing the suburb in the 63rd percentile nationwide.

Approved residential projects break down into 29.0% detached houses alongside 71.0% medium-to-high-density units and townhouses. Such concentration on medium and higher density development provides more reachable price brackets catering to first-time buyers, investors, and downsizing households. This pattern marks a clear departure from the established housing stock (which currently stands at 60.0% houses), signaling a tightening supply of vacant land while accommodating shifting lifestyle preferences and an appetite for diverse living formats. With approximately 213 people per approval, the district maintains a lower-density character. Demographic forecasts indicate that Tullamarine will expand by 2,387 residents leading up to 2041, based on the latest quarterly assessment from AreaSearch. Should construction activity persist at its prevailing trajectory, home building could struggle to satisfy incoming resident numbers, potentially intensifying competition among prospective purchasers and driving stronger capital appreciation.

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 4 applications for Tullamarine, 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 Tullamarine

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

3,541 residents of Tullamarine are employed, from a labour force of 3,730. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 65.3%. 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

Tullamarine boasts a highly competent labor pool, particularly strong in construction, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.1% and an estimated employment growth of 0.8% over the previous year. By March 2026, the local workforce numbered 3,541 individuals, while the unemployment rate stood at 4.8%, which is 0.3% higher than the Greater Melbourne average. Participation in the workforce remains slightly lower than the regional benchmark, at 65.3% versus Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. Census data indicates that a moderate 21.1% of residents engaged in remote work, though the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account when interpreting this figure.

Local workforce participation is heavily concentrated within construction, transport, postal & warehousing, as well as health care & social assistance. A notable structural specialisation is apparent in transport, postal & warehousing, where local employment reaches 2.3 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical occupations represent an area of lower representation, engaging merely 5.7% of the Tullamarine working population compared with 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. A Census-recorded ratio of 0.7 workers for every resident demonstrates an above-average availability of jobs within the immediate locality. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that the 12-month period experienced a 0.8% rise in employment alongside a 0.6% decline in the labour force, which led to a 1.3 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% expansion in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding potential future demand within Tullamarine. These projections, which span five and ten-year periods, have been overlaid with the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. Although national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector-specific growth rates vary considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to Tullamarine's employment mix, the area is projected to see a 6.1% increase in employment over five years and a 12.7% increase over ten years, though this simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes does not incorporate localised population projections.

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 — 108 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,576 at the 2021 Census → 6,768 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 (210051250). 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 Tullamarine 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 Tullamarine 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 Tullamarine 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
