Sales Detail
Montrose (Vic.) has an estimated 6,858 residents, down from 6,900 at the 2021 Census. That puts 622 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
According to evaluations of ABS population adjustments for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Montrose (Vic.) is projected to be approximately 6,858 in May 2026. This represents a contraction of 42 people (0.6%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 6,900 people. This shift is calculated from the resident population of 6,858, determined by AreaSearch through analysing the most recent ERP statistics published by the ABS (June 2025) plus 4 validated new addresses since the Census date.
Such a population size corresponds to a density of 621 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial space per resident and potential capacity for additional expansion. Growth in the local population was mostly generated by overseas migration, which served as almost the exclusive source of population increases in recent times. AreaSearch relies on ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this information, AreaSearch uses the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2023, modifying them via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA down to SA2 levels. Growth rates categorized by age bracket from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the period from 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, expansion in the lower quartile of statistical areas studied by AreaSearch is expected, with the suburb of Montrose (Vic.) projected to grow by 282 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level projections, which translates to a total increase of 4.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
20 new dwellings have been approved in Montrose (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, running ahead of 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 analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, the suburb of Montrose (Vic.) has averaged approximately 4 dwellings receiving development approval annually, leading to a total of 20 homes over the past 5 financial years. In the current FY-26, 8 approvals have been registered. As the population has been contracting lately, the supply of new housing has likely matched demand, providing buyers with good options, while new dwellings are being constructed at an average estimated cost of $516,000, showing that developers are aiming at the premium market segment with higher-end properties.
Additionally, $5.8 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, showing limited commercial development focus. Compared to Greater Melbourne, the suburb of Montrose (Vic.) shows significantly lower building activity (85.0% below the regional average per person). This restricted construction volume generally supports demand and pricing for established homes. This level is also lower than the national figures, reflecting a mature market and suggesting potential development constraints. Furthermore, recent building activity is composed entirely of detached dwellings, preserving the area's traditional low density character with a focus on family homes that appeal to those wanting space. The estimated ratio of 1525 people in the area per dwelling approval highlights its quiet, low activity development environment. Looking ahead, the suburb of Montrose (Vic.) is projected to add 282 residents by 2041 (based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, residential construction may struggle to keep pace with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support price growth.

3,668 residents of Montrose (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 3,771. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 68.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,659, about 83% 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 suburb of Montrose (Vic.) has a skilled workforce, with the construction sector being especially well represented, an unemployment rate of only 2.7%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.5% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,668 residents are employed, which is an unemployment rate 2.0% below Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, while workforce participation is broadly comparable to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%. Based on Census responses, a high 26.4% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. The area displays a strong specialization in construction, with its employment share sitting at 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented at 6.2% compared to the regional average of 10.1%. This mostly residential area appears to provide limited employment opportunities locally, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment grew by 1.5% while the labour force expanded by 1.8%, leading to an unemployment rise of 0.4 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Melbourne registered employment growth of 2.1%, labour force growth of 2.3%, and an unemployment rise of 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can provide additional perspective on potential future demand in the suburb of Montrose (Vic.). These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to the employment mix of the suburb of Montrose (Vic.) suggests local employment should increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 4 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,900 at the 2021 Census → 6,858 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 (SAL21736). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
