Sales Detail
Mount Eliza has an estimated 19,110 residents, up from 18,734 at the 2021 Census — a change of 376 people, or 2.0%. That puts 823 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
The suburb of Mount Eliza has an estimated population of approximately 19,110 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates and post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 18,734 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 376 people (2.0%). AreaSearch derived this 19,110 resident figure following the ABS release of Estimated Resident Population (ERP) figures in June 2025 alongside 73 validated new addresses registered after the Census. In terms of population density, the suburb of Mount Eliza records 823 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch locations.
The local 2.0% expansion since census trails the SA4 region (3.3%) by 1.3 percentage points, maintaining solid growth fundamentals. Recent demographic increases were predominantly propelled by overseas migration, serving as virtually the exclusive catalyst for local gains. Projections utilised by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 using 2022 as baseline data, while unrepresented SA2 districts draw upon the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases adjusted via weighted population growth aggregations from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. These aggregated age-bracket growth trajectories are extended across all districts from 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Mount Eliza is projected to experience demographic expansion slightly underneath the national median, gaining an estimated 1,871 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2 modelling, which represents an overall increase of 9.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
256 new dwellings have been approved in Mount Eliza over the past five years, an average of 51 a year. That is 2.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 55 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 87% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 66, 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
Residential planning records compiled by AreaSearch from ABS data show that Mount Eliza has averaged approximately 51 residential building approvals each year, accumulating roughly 256 approved dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 66 residential approvals have been logged. In the context of previous population contractions, this incoming residential supply has adequately matched local demand to provide healthy purchasing options, with average expected construction costs reaching $1,242,000 as developers focus on high-end, premium residential construction. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $45.4 million within the current financial year, demonstrating considerable commercial development activity.
Per capita residential building approvals in Mount Eliza run at approximately two-thirds the pace recorded across Greater Melbourne, placing the district in the 46th percentile nationally and tightening buyer opportunities while driving interest in established housing stock. This subdued volume relative to nationwide metrics highlights market maturity as well as potential planning and physical limits on land development. Detached standalone houses constitute 87.0% of recent construction while townhouses and apartments account for 13.0%, reinforcing the area's established low-density setting and spacious family living. The ratio of approximately 320 people per dwelling approval further underscores the tranquil pace of local construction activity. Over the period extending through to 2041, residential population within Mount Eliza is forecast to rise by 1,871 residents based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Ongoing construction activity appears well positioned to satisfy upcoming residential requirements, sustaining favourable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion above current population projections.

9,752 residents of Mount Eliza are employed, from a labour force of 9,864. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 63.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 16,394, about 86% 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
Mount Eliza maintains an educated workforce with considerable professional services participation, a jobless rate of merely 1.1%, and steady employment conditions over the preceding year based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 9,752, while local unemployment sits 3.6% lower than the Greater Melbourne figure of 4.8%. However, labour force participation stands at 63.6%, trailing well behind the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 70.1%. At the time of the Census, 39.6% of workers conducted their duties from home, though Covid-19 restrictions must be taken into account when interpreting this figure.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. Concentration in education & training is especially prominent, exceeding regional norms by 1.2 times. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing accounts for merely 2.2% of the local working population, in contrast to 5.2% across Greater Melbourne. Comparison between Census working population counts and resident tallies highlights the largely residential character of the locality, which provides relatively few employment opportunities within its own borders. ABS and SALM figures aggregated across wider statistical areas by AreaSearch reveal that in the year to March 2026, local employment expanded by 0.4% and the labour force grew by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage points reduction in unemployment. Across Greater Melbourne over the same timeframe, employment climbed 2.1%, the workforce rose 2.3%, and unemployment rose 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking employment estimates published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Mount Eliza across five and ten-year horizons when aligned with the local industry profile. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years with notable sector variances, applying this industry distribution to Mount Eliza suggests local workforce increases of 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, representing an illustrative weighted extrapolation without localised demographic adjustments.

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 — 73 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (18,734 at the 2021 Census → 19,110 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL21793). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
