Sales Detail
Caulfield has an estimated 5,911 residents, up from 5,748 at the 2021 Census — a change of 163 people, or 2.8%. That puts 4,021 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the wider region and fresh addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census shows the suburb of Caulfield has a population estimated at 5,911 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 163 people (2.8%) from the 2021 Census, when the count stood at 5,748 people. This shift is derived from the resident population of 5,861, calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP data release, combined with an additional 97 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density ratio of 4,021 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Caulfield within the top 10% of all national areas monitored by AreaSearch and highlights the high demand for local land.
The growth in the suburb of Caulfield was almost entirely driven by international migration, which acted as the sole source of population increases during recent intervals. AreaSearch implements ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch uses the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusting them by weighting and aggregating local government growth down to SA2 divisions. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographics for the suburb of Caulfield, population growth is projected to exceed the national median, with the suburb of Caulfield expected to grow by 948 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level forecasts, representing an expansion of 15.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
207 new dwellings have been approved in Caulfield over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That is 7.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 50 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 12% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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
According to AreaSearch studies of ABS building approvals distributed from statistical geographic data, Caulfield averages approximately 41 dwellings receiving development consent annually, with an estimated 207 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 6 so far in FY-26. Even though the local population has contracted, construction volumes have been appropriate relatively speaking, which benefits buyers, and new homes are built at a mean value of $784,000, indicating that builders are prioritizing the upper-end market with premium projects. Furthermore, $35.4 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year, showing strong local business development.
Compared against the wider Greater Melbourne region, Caulfield displays somewhat elevated construction levels (11.0% above the regional per-person average over the 5 year period), which helps maintain buyer options while supporting current property values. Recent approvals consist of 12.0% detached houses and 88.0% attached dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density options provides more affordable pathways to home ownership and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift away from the traditional housing stock (which is currently 40.0% houses), reflecting a drop in available development sites along with changing lifestyle choices and affordability pressures. With approximately 103 people per dwelling approval, Caulfield exhibits the attributes of a low density area. Long-term projections indicate Caulfield will add 898 residents by 2041 (based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch). Given the current pace of construction, housing supply is expected to satisfy demand comfortably, creating positive conditions for buyers and potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

3,092 residents of Caulfield are employed, from a labour force of 3,248. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 64.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% 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
Caulfield has an exceptionally well-educated workforce, with professional services highly represented, and an unemployment rate of 4.8%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 3,092 residents in employment, which matches Greater Melbourne's unemployment rate of 4.8%, although workforce participation is significantly lower (64.2% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). Census responses indicate that a high 45.6% of residents worked from home, though this figure likely reflects the influence of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. The primary employment sectors for local residents are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The area exhibits a notable concentration in professional & technical services, with its employment share reaching 1.5 times the regional proportion. On the other hand, construction is underrepresented at 5.7% compared to the regional average of 9.7%. Although there are local employment options, many residents commute to other districts for work, as shown by the ratio of the Census working population to the local population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local workforce shrank by 1.4% and total employment fell by 1.4%, which kept the unemployment rate steady. In contrast, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labor force expand by 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context on prospective demand in Caulfield. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future growth trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local employment mix suggests Caulfield's employment should increase by 7.3% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (note that this is a simple weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 97 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,748 at the 2021 Census → 5,911 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL20521). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
