Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Based on assessments of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region and address registry revisions verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Camberwell (Vic.) has a population estimated at 23,237 in May 2026. This represents an increase of 1,272 people (5.8%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 21,965 residents. This adjustment is based on a resident base of 23,185 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an additional 250 validated new addresses added since the Census date. This population level yields a density of 3,061 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of Australian areas monitored by AreaSearch.
The post-census growth rate of 5.8% for the suburb of Camberwell (Vic.) is within 0.8 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (6.6%), showing robust local expansion. Net population gains for the area were almost entirely driven by international migration, which acted as the sole source of growth in recent periods. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 unit, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this data, projections are derived from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA releases, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method to transition population growth from LGA to SA2 divisions. Age cohort expansion rates from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the period from 2032 to 2041. In terms of future demographic shifts, the suburb of Camberwell (Vic.) is projected to experience growth in the lower quartile of areas monitored by AreaSearch, with numbers expected to rise by 390 residents by 2041 based on combined SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 1.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
567 new dwellings have been approved in Camberwell (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 113 a year. That places the area in the 52nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 113 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 44% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 107, broadly in line with 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 of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical boundary data indicates that Camberwell averages approximately 113 residential building approvals per year, summing to about 567 homes over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 99 approvals have been logged. While the local population has been declining, construction volume remains appropriate on a relative basis to benefit prospective buyers, and new homes carry an average construction value of $1,301,000, signaling a clear developer preference for high-end, premium housing. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $21.2 million this financial year, indicating moderate commercial construction activity.
Camberwell maintains a similar per capita construction rate to Greater Melbourne, which helps preserve market equilibrium in line with metropolitan trends. Newly approved residential builds consist of 44.0% detached houses and 56.0% medium-to-high density formats like townhouses and apartments. A focus on denser housing styles provides more budget-friendly points of entry and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct departure from the current local housing stock, which is 60.0% houses, showing a shrinking supply of vacant development sites alongside evolving lifestyle preferences and demand for diverse, economical housing. With roughly 213 residents for each home approved, the locality exhibits low-density development metrics. Long-term forecasts suggest Camberwell will add 338 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If the current pace of building approvals continues, incoming residential supply will easily satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating growth above current projections.

13,108 residents of Camberwell (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 13,501. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 67.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% 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
Camberwell boasts a highly educated labor force, where professional services hold significant presence, an unemployment rate of 2.9%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.9% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 13,108 residents are employed while the unemployment rate stands at 1.9% below Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (67.9% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). According to Census responses, a high 49.9% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Local employment is heavily weighted toward healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training. The area exhibits a notable concentration in professional & technical fields, with employment share in this sector reaching 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, construction is underrepresented, employing only 5.1% of the local workforce compared to 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. Although local employment positions exist within the neighborhood, comparing the Census working population against the resident count suggest that many locals travel to other districts for work. Analysis of SALM and ABS data, which has been aggregated from broader statistical areas, indicates that during the year to March 2026, employment levels rose by 1.9% and the labour force expanded by 2.6%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.7 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1% and labour force growth of 2.3%, with unemployment increasing by 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide additional perspective on potential future demand within Camberwell. These projections, which cover five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. Although national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Camberwell's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 7.4% over five years and 14.9% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account 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 — 250 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (21,965 at the 2021 Census → 23,237 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 May 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.
