Detail
Estimates compiled by AreaSearch utilizing ABS population updates and validated address registers list the population of the suburb of Forest Hill (Vic.) at approximately 11,357 by May 2026. This indicates an expansion of 577 people (5.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 10,780 people. This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 11,342 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, combined with 158 validated new addresses verified since the Census. Such figures represent a density of 2,776 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile of sites evaluated nationwide.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of these gains, serving as almost the exclusive source of population growth in recent times. Projections for each SA2 region published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline are sourced from ABS and Geoscience Australia. Where SA2 data is unavailable, figures are generated from the 2023 Victoria State Government regional and LGA projections, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method to translate growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Aggregated age-group growth rates are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, population growth is anticipated to sit slightly under the median for areas tracked by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Forest Hill (Vic.) projected to add 1,182 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing a overall gain of 10.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
220 new dwellings have been approved in Forest Hill (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 44 a year. That is 4.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 74% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 26, 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
An analysis of ABS building approvals allocated to local statistical boundaries shows that Forest Hill averages approximately 44 dwelling approvals annually, summing to an estimated 220 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 24 approvals have been logged. With an average of only 0.5 new residents per year arriving per new home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new housing is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, expanding opportunities for purchasers and supporting growth capacity above forecasts. The average value of these newly approved builds is $659,000, indicating that developers are focusing on upmarket, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $16.7 million have been registered during this financial year, indicating a moderate level of non-residential investment. Recent residential permits are divided between 74.0% detached homes and 26.0% medium to high-density options, maintaining the suburban feel of the neighborhood with a clear preference for standalone houses that appeal to buyers desiring space. The region averages roughly 229 people for every dwelling approval, reflecting a low-density property market. Long-term forecasts suggest Forest Hill will add 1,167 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. The current pace of construction matches these projected requirements well, promoting balanced market conditions without severe upward pressure on pricing.

5,618 residents of Forest Hill (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 5,866. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 60.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% 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
Data aggregated across local statistical boundaries by AreaSearch shows that Forest Hill possesses a workforce with high levels of education, strong representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of 4.2%, and a 1.6% rise in estimated jobs over the past year. In March 2026, 5,618 residents were employed, and the local unemployment rate was 0.6% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. However, workforce participation is notably lower, standing at 60.6% compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census records indicate that a high proportion of employed residents (37.1%) worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by public health restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and retail trade. Conversely, construction is under-represented, employing just 6.6% of the local workforce compared to 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. While some employment opportunities exist locally, a comparison of local jobs to the resident working population suggests that a significant number of workers travel outside the suburb for employment. Based on AreaSearch calculations using SALM and ABS data for wider statistical areas, the year leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 1.6% and the local labor force grow by 1.9%, which led to a 0.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point rise. Employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide further context for future job demand in the region. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to local employment sectors to estimate growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by industry. Applying these industry weightings to the local employment mix suggests Forest Hill employment could expand by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that does not account for local population dynamics.

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 — 158 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,780 at the 2021 Census → 11,357 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 (SAL20937). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
