Sales Detail
Aberfeldie has an estimated 4,093 residents, up from 3,925 at the 2021 Census — a change of 168 people, or 4.3%. That puts 2,591 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 evaluations of updated ABS regional population figures alongside newly validated addresses recorded by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Aberfeldie has an estimated population of approximately 4,093 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 168 people (4.3%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 3,925 people. Such movement is derived from the resident count of 4,093 determined by AreaSearch after assessing the June 2025 ABS ERP release together with 85 validated new addresses documented since the Census. With this demographic level, the suburb of Aberfeldie records a density of 2,590 persons per square kilometer, situating it within the top quartile among nationwide areas examined by AreaSearch.
Inbound international migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 93.0% of overall population increases in recent times. Projections compiled by Geoscience Australia and the ABS from 2024 (anchored to 2022) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 regions. In locations lacking direct coverage from this source, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA figures are incorporated via weighted aggregation converting LGA growth metrics down to SA2 boundaries. Age-bracket growth estimates derived through these aggregations are likewise applied to all locations covering 2032 to 2041. Evaluating forward-looking demographic trajectories, the suburb of Aberfeldie is slated for above-median expansion relative to benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch, with forecasts pointing to an increase of 548 persons through 2041 under consolidated SA2 models, delivering an overall expansion of 13.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
188 new dwellings have been approved in Aberfeldie over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That is 9.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 40 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 33% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS residential construction approvals indicates that Aberfeldie typically sees approximately 37 residential dwellings approved per year, accumulating an estimated 188 approved homes over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 14 approved during FY-25 to date. Against a backdrop of recent demographic shrinkage, building activity has maintained a healthy pace for prospective purchasers, while mean building costs sit at $1,142,000 per dwelling, demonstrating that builders are prioritizing upscale developments for the higher-end market. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have totaled $165,000 this financial year, underscoring the locality's primarily residential character.
Of the dwellings approved in recent construction activity, detached houses account for 32.0%, whereas townhouses and apartment units comprise 68.0%. This emphasis on higher-density stock offers relatively more accessible entry pricing to assist downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors alike. Such output represents a clear shift away from historical residential profiles (with houses currently standing at 67.0%), pointing to constraints on vacant land while accommodating shifting living habits and purchase considerations. Calculating roughly 315 people per approval, Aberfeldie exhibits low-density characteristics. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Aberfeldie is projected to welcome 548 additional inhabitants by 2041. Supported by ongoing construction volumes, future housing additions appear well positioned to satisfy incoming buyer demand, establishing constructive market conditions and paving the way for potential growth beyond current estimates.

2,551 residents of Aberfeldie are employed, from a labour force of 2,630. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 74.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,302, about 81% 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
Aberfeldie features an exceptionally skilled labour market with substantial representation across professional sectors, a low jobless rate of 3.0%, and annual employment gains estimated at 3.6% via aggregated statistical area metrics from AreaSearch. By March 2026, employed residents reached 2,551, with the local unemployment rate tracking 1.8% below the 4.8% figure recorded across Greater Melbourne, while labour force participation remains solid at 74.7% compared to 70.1% for Greater Melbourne. Census records also revealed that 39.3% of workers carried out their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions during that period must be noted.
The primary employment fields absorbing local residents comprise health care & social assistance, construction, and professional & technical services. By comparison, manufacturing shows a smaller footprint, making up 5.0% of local employment against the broader regional level of 7.2%. Given its predominantly residential footprint, the district presents limited domestic job options as reflected by comparing working Census numbers against the local resident population. Aggregated ABS and SALM statistical information processed by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, local jobs grew by 3.6% against a 3.3% rise in the labour pool, reducing local unemployment by 0.3 percentage points. Over the equivalent timeframe, Greater Melbourne registered job growth of 2.1% alongside a 2.3% workforce gain, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point uptick. Additional perspective regarding prospective workforce requirements in Aberfeldie can be drawn from national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Projecting outward over five and ten-year horizons against the suburb's industry structure, national job totals are predicted to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, albeit with variation by sector. Mapping these industry trends across Aberfeldie indicates potential employment increases of 6.8% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (noting this is a weighted baseline extrapolation that excludes localized demographic 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 — 85 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,925 at the 2021 Census → 4,093 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 (SAL20003). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
