Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Quarry Hill has an estimated population of approximately 2,413, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of wider ABS regional updates and 27 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,365 people, this indicates an expansion of 48 people (2.0%). The updated resident count of 2,413 incorporates the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside post-Census address validation. The suburb of Quarry Hill records a population density of 993 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks evaluated across AreaSearch locations.
Across the SA3 area (4.4%), growth was 2.4 percentage points higher, yet the local 2.0% increase highlights solid demographic fundamentals. The primary catalyst for local expansion was overseas migration, generating roughly 77.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Quarry Hill utilise 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 figures grounded on 2022 benchmarks, supplemented where necessary by 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections converted via weighted aggregation to SA2 levels. These aggregated age-specific growth distributions are similarly carried forward across all districts for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, long-term projections place the suburb of Quarry Hill within the highest quartile among non-metropolitan Australian localities, with aggregated SA2 modeling indicating an addition of 521 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 21.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
80 new dwellings have been approved in Quarry Hill over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 8.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 32, running ahead of that longer-run average.

Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that Quarry Hill has recorded roughly 16 new residential approvals annually, yielding around 80 homes across the past 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 32 approvals have been documented. Over the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), population additions stood at an average of 0.2 new residents per year per dwelling built, suggesting that residential building activity is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, widening choice for purchasers and supporting potentially higher population gains, with newly approved dwellings carrying an expected construction cost averaging $424,000.
In addition, $5.5 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, underscoring the area's predominantly residential character. Residential building activity in Quarry Hill tracks 27.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period compared with Rest of Vic., providing purchasers with ample choice whilst maintaining underlying values. Approvals over recent periods encompass 53.0% detached dwellings alongside 47.0% medium and high-density housing, creating a diverse pipeline of townhouses and apartments across varied price brackets from standalone homes to compact residences. This marks a notable shift from the established housing stock (currently 85.0% houses), adapting to limited land availability as well as evolving lifestyle choices and buyer affordability. Density remains modest, with approximately 83 people per dwelling approval across the market. Based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Quarry Hill is projected to expand by 521 residents by 2041. Construction activity continues at a reasonable pace relative to forward demand, though expanding population numbers may heighten competition among purchasers.

1,331 residents of Quarry Hill are employed, from a labour force of 1,372. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 67.7%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 1,885, about 78% 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
Quarry Hill boasts a highly educated labor pool, with key service industries well represented, an unemployment rate of just 3.0%, and 2.1% estimated employment growth over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,331 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.7% below Regional Vic.'s rate of 3.7%, and workforce participation is well beyond standard (67.7% compared to Regional Vic.'s 61.1%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 20.1% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Resident employment is concentrated within health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The local workforce exhibits substantial concentration in health care & social assistance, capturing an employment share 1.4 times that of the broader region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.5% of resident jobs, well below Regional Vic.'s 7.5%. Comparing the Census resident workforce against local working numbers indicates that this predominantly residential precinct offers relatively few employment positions within its own boundaries. Over the recent 12-month period, AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM statistical data indicates that local employment expanded by 2.1% while the labour pool grew by 1.2%, driving a 0.9 percentage points reduction in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional Vic. experienced a 0.1% drop in employment, a 0.3% contraction in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage points decrease in unemployment. Forward-looking labour demand can be evaluated via national industry forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Projected nationwide employment growth sits at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge by sector. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the occupational makeup of Quarry Hill indicates potential local employment growth of 7.0% over five years and 14.6% over ten years (calculated via simple weighting extrapolation for context, without incorporating local 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 — 27 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,365 at the 2021 Census → 2,413 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 (SAL22134). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
