Detail
The suburb of Cremorne (Vic.) is estimated to have a population of around 2,545 as of Aug 2026. This figure represents an increase of 387 people, or 17.9%, compared to the 2,158 people reported during the 2021 Census. The updated count is derived from resident population estimates of 2,542 provided by AreaSearch after reviewing the latest ERP data release by the ABS dated June 2025, plus 88 newly validated addresses registered since the Census date. This population level corresponds to a density ratio of 3,742 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb in the upper quartile among national locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 17.9% growth observed since the 2021 Census surpassed both the state average of 9.5% and the national average, identifying Cremorne (Vic.) as a leading growth area in the region. Recent population expansion has been mainly attributed to overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 81.0% of the total increase. For local projections, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline. Where individual SA2 territories lack direct figures, regional and LGA projections issued by the VIC State Government in 2023 are utilized and re-weighted from LGA to SA2 geographies. Age cohort expansion rates derived from these models are subsequently applied across every location for 2032 through 2041. Over the longer horizon, the suburb of Cremorne (Vic.) is projected to experience strong demographic growth in the top quartile of AreaSearch statistical areas, rising by 820 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections—an overall uplift of 32.1% across the 16 years.

Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that Cremorne averages roughly 27 residential dwelling approvals annually, totaling an estimated 139 residential dwellings sanctioned across the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 5 approved to date in FY-25. The local market maintains balanced supply and demand dynamics, absorbing an average of 1.9 people per year for every home constructed during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). Newly approved residences carry an average construction value of $864,000, underscoring a builder preference for higher-end developments. In addition, commercial construction approvals totaled $136.3 million during the current financial year, signaling substantial business investment locally.
Per capita residential development in Cremorne exceeds Greater Melbourne by 34.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period, offering incoming residents viable choices while maintaining steady absorption. Building activity also sits well above national benchmarks, demonstrating strong development appetite. Approvals break down into 15.0% detached houses and 85.0% townhouses or apartments. Emphasizing higher-density formats creates accessible price brackets suited to investors, first-time purchasers, and downsizers. Registering roughly 93 people per dwelling approval, the precinct displays key indicators of a growing market. Looking forward, demographic forecasts indicate Cremorne will add 817 residents through to 2041 based on current AreaSearch quarterly modeling. While residential construction currently aligns with this trajectory, incoming purchasers may face heightened competition as the local population base broadens.

2,119 residents of Cremorne (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 2,177. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 92.7%. 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, 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 5,594, about 2.2 times the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Cremorne features an exceptionally skilled workforce concentrated in professional disciplines, recording an unemployment rate of only 2.7% and annual employment growth estimated at 5.7% based on aggregated AreaSearch data. As of March 2026, 2,119 residents are employed. The jobless rate sits 2.1% below Greater Melbourne's benchmark of 4.8%, while labor force participation reaches an elevated 92.7% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. At the Census, 53.6% of working locals indicated they worked from home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Local resident employment is anchored by professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and construction.
The precinct shows pronounced concentration in professional & technical fields, exceeding regional representation by 2.2 times. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 10.7% of the resident workforce, trailing the Greater Melbourne level of 14.2%. Registering 3.3 workers for every resident on Census night, the district operates as a prominent commercial center that draws in substantial commuter labor from neighboring areas. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures across broader territories, the year to March 2026 saw employment expand by 5.7% and the total workforce increase by 5.9%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point rise in the local unemployment rate. Across Greater Melbourne over the same timeframe, jobs grew by 2.1% and the workforce expanded by 2.3%, also yielding a 0.2 percentage point rise. Broader demand indications stem from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment outlooks. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these industry growth estimates to Cremorne's local economic profile suggests area employment could expand by 7.3% over five years and 14.5% over ten years (calculated via simple weighted extrapolation for illustration without incorporating localized 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 — 88 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,158 at the 2021 Census → 2,545 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.
