Situated 48 kilometers southeast from Melbourne CBD, the suburb of Officer stands out as a highly dynamic residential community. According to Districts' demographic analysis, the suburb of Officer has an Estimated Resident Population (ERP) of approximately 27,168 as of May 2026, reflecting a significant growth of 8,665 people (46.8%) since the 2021 Census when the population was recorded at 18,503. This impressive demographic expansion ranks the community's population growth profile among the strongest in the nation, driven by development activity and population drivers that sit well above average levels.

The community is largely composed of family households and couples with children, supported by a well-educated population and high mortgage holder representation. These market factors, alongside exceptional population projections, point to a highly sought-after suburb that continues to experience substantial growth as validated by new addresses and updated data releases.
