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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch place the population of Wyndham Vale - North at approximately 14,836 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 5,804 people (64.3%) relative to the 9,032 people counted in the 2021 Census. This upward trend is established using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 14,515 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 1,730 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a density of 289 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains substantial open room per resident and extensive capacity for upcoming building. Expanding by 64.3% since the 2021 census, Wyndham Vale - North outpaced Victoria (9.5%) as well as nationwide benchmarks, establishing itself as a prime regional growth hub.
Inflows from interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 65.4% of total population increases in recent times, with overseas arrivals and natural increase also recording positive additions. Forecast modeling incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, while areas lacking direct coverage utilize the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset adjusted via weighted population aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Age-specific trajectories derived from these aggregations are applied across all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Supported by these demographic shifts, the region is projected to experience top-decile expansion compared to all statistical areas evaluated by AreaSearch, with population forecast to increase by 17,396 persons to 2041 based on recent annual ERP totals, representing an overall rise of 115.1% across the 16 years.

6,845 residents of Wyndham Vale - North are employed, from a labour force of 7,532. Unemployment sits at 9.1%, with participation at 72.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% 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 11,715, 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
The local labour pool in Wyndham Vale - North is well-qualified, featuring solid representation in professional services, an unemployment level of 9.1%, and steady employment conditions over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 6,845 residents are actively employed, while unemployment sits 4.4% above the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, highlighting scope for labour market gains. Labor force participation remains standard at 72.1% against 70.1% for Greater Melbourne. Census records show that 26.3% of workers carried out their duties from home, an outcome that may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
Resident employment centers primarily on health care & social assistance, retail trade, and transport, postal & warehousing. Concentration is particularly pronounced in transport, postal & warehousing, where local workforce representation is 1.7 times the broader metropolitan standard. In contrast, education & training shows a smaller footprint, engaging 7.2% of workers versus 9.2% across the wider region. An analysis of the Census working population compared to local resident numbers indicates a limited supply of jobs situated directly within the area. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM records, the year to March 2026 saw local employment rise by 0.3% while the labour force expanded by 1.9%, raising the jobless rate by 1.4 percentage points. Across Greater Melbourne over the identical timeframe, employment expanded by 2.1%, the workforce grew by 2.3%, and unemployment lifted by 0.2 percentage points. Future workforce requirements can be assessed via national projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26, mapped to the local sectoral footprint. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though trajectories fluctuate widely across individual industries. Weighting these projections against Wyndham Vale - North's industry profile indicates expected local employment gains of 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes micro-level 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 — 1,730 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,032 at the 2021 Census → 14,836 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 (213051589). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
