This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions alongside post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Charlemont records an estimated population of approximately 5,584 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,972 residents (113.8%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 2,612 people. That adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 5,575 assessed by AreaSearch via the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 1,410 validated new addresses since the Census. Across the locality, population density sits at 515 persons per square kilometer, indicating low crowding and substantial capacity for future expansion.
The suburb of Charlemont's 113.8% surge post-2021 Census outpaced the Rest of Vic. benchmark of 4.4% as well as the broader SA3 territory, establishing it as a standout regional growth center. Inflows from interstate migration generated roughly 83.0% of these population additions over recent timeframes, though overseas migration and natural increase also provided positive momentum. SA2-level modelling by AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures, whereas uncovered SA2 sections utilize 2023 Victorian Government Regional/LGA projections converted through weighted aggregation to SA2 boundaries. Age-specific rates from these aggregations are similarly projected across all regions between 2032 and 2041. Based on these SA2 demographic forecasts, the suburb of Charlemont is expected to rank within the top 10 percent of regional Australian markets for expansion, gaining 7,974 persons by 2041 to deliver an overall 16-year gain of 142.6%.

3,087 residents of Charlemont are employed, from a labour force of 3,152. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 72.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% 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 4,910, about 88% 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
The local labor market in the suburb of Charlemont is characterized by high educational attainment, substantial presence in essential public services, a low 2.1% unemployment rate, and an estimated annual employment increase of 4.5% according to aggregated statistical indicators. There are 3,087 employed residents as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 1.6% lower than the 3.7% recorded in Regional Vic., alongside elevated labor force engagement of 72.1% versus 61.1% across Regional Vic. Census returns showed 18.2% of workers performing their duties from home, an estimate subject to the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
Residents are predominantly employed across health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Concentration in health care & social assistance is particularly pronounced, tracking at 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.5% of jobs, substantially below the 7.5% regional share. Comparing resident counts with local Census job places indicates limited employment options situated directly within the immediate community. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics over the year ending March 2026, the local workforce and jobholder numbers both expanded by 4.5%, preserving a steady jobless rate. By comparison, Regional Vic. experienced an employment drop of 0.1%, a 0.3% decrease in its total workforce, and a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. Applying Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 industry outlooks to the local workforce structure indicates prospective employment gains of 7.0% over five years and 14.3% across ten years, compared to national forecasts of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (representing an illustrative sectoral weighting that excludes local population shifts).

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 — 1,410 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,612 at the 2021 Census → 5,584 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.
