Sales Detail
Carnegie has an estimated 20,591 residents, up from 17,909 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,682 people, or 15.0%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years, faster than 84% of areas nationally. 398 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 92.0% of that increase. That puts 5,580 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Carnegie is assessed to have a population of approximately 20,591, drawing from AreaSearch analysis of ABS population updates across the broader region and post-Census validated new addresses. Compared to the 17,909 residents recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 2,682 people (15.0%). AreaSearch derived this change by reviewing the ABS June 2025 ERP release, establishing an estimated resident population of 20,570, along with 398 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With a density of 5,580 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Carnegie sits in the top 10% of nationally evaluated locations, underscoring intense local land demand.
Outperforming the wider SA4 region (8.2%) and state benchmarks, the 15.0% expansion since the 2021 census establishes the suburb of Carnegie as a regional growth frontrunner, with net overseas migration generating roughly 92.0% of recent population gains. SA2-level demographic modelling for the suburb of Carnegie integrates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections issued in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline). Where local coverage is absent, AreaSearch draws on 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, converting LGA data to SA2 levels via a weighted aggregation framework. Age-cohort growth trajectories derived from these aggregations are projected forward across all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these combined SA2 projections, the suburb of Carnegie is placed in the top quartile of national locations for population expansion, forecasted to add 5,544 persons by 2041—a cumulative rise of 26.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
489 new dwellings have been approved in Carnegie over the past five years, an average of 97 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 82 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 15% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 84, 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
ABS building approval statistics compiled by AreaSearch show that Carnegie has recorded roughly 97 residential dwelling approvals annually, amounting to an estimated 489 homes over the previous 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 84 residential approvals have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 3.9 new residents arrived for every dwelling constructed, creating a dynamic where demand substantially outpaces building activity, adding upward pressure on property prices and intensifying buyer competition. Construction activity is geared toward higher-end developments, with new residential builds carrying an average construction value of $754,000.
On the commercial front, $23.0 million worth of approvals have been recorded during the current financial year, signaling steady non-residential development. Per-capita residential construction in Carnegie is running at roughly three-quarters of the pace observed across Greater Melbourne, placing the suburb in the 36th percentile across the country, which limits new housing supply while driving demand toward established properties. Recent approvals are heavily weighted toward medium- and high-density formats, comprising 85.0% townhouses or apartments and 15.0% detached dwellings. This focus on compact housing delivers accessible price points that appeal to first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also marks a distinct shift away from the traditional neighbourhood composition (where houses make up 32.0%), reflecting both a scarcity of development sites and evolving lifestyle and affordability considerations. The area records approximately 412 people per dwelling approval, indicative of a mature urban setting. According to the latest quarterly population projections from AreaSearch, Carnegie is projected to welcome 5,523 additional residents through to 2041. If residential construction remains at current rates, housing creation could lag behind demographic expansion, heightening buyer competition and underpinning ongoing property price growth.

Project completed in June 2018, eliminating boom gates that were previously down for up to 87 minutes during peak periods.
12,589 residents of Carnegie are employed, from a labour force of 13,184. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 72.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% 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 16,119, about 78% 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
Workforce data aggregated by AreaSearch highlights that Carnegie has an educated labour base with strong representation across professional services, an unemployment rate of 4.5%, and stable employment patterns over the past twelve months. As of March 2026, 12,589 local residents are employed. The suburb's 4.5% unemployment rate sits 0.3% lower than the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, while participation levels stand at 72.8%, compared to 70.1% across Greater Melbourne. Census records also show 44.5% of working residents operating from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Local workers are primarily employed in professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
Professional & technical roles are exceptionally prominent, employing 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, construction represents a smaller share of the local workforce at 6.0%, against 9.7% regionally. A comparison between the Census working population and resident counts suggests that this largely residential locality provides relatively few employment opportunities within its own boundaries. SALM and ABS data reviewed by AreaSearch indicates that over the year to March 2026, Carnegie experienced a 0.3% contraction in its labour force alongside a 0.1% decline in employment, bringing the unemployment rate down by 0.2 percentage points. By contrast, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% increase in employment, a 2.3% expansion in the labour pool, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future labour demand. Over five- and ten-year horizons, overall Australian employment is projected to grow by 6.6% and 13.7% respectively, though sectoral rates vary widely. Extrapolating these industry trends against Carnegie's specific workforce profile points to potential employment growth of 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (representing a simple weighted model for illustration that excludes local 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 — 398 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (17,909 at the 2021 Census → 20,591 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 (SAL20498). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
