Sales Detail
San Remo (Vic.) has an estimated 2,967 residents, up from 1,700 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,267 people, or 74.5%. Growth has averaged 12.9% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. 163 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 88.0% of that increase. That puts 190 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
Based on statistical assessments of geographic data from the ABS, alongside residential locations verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of San Remo (Vic.) has a projected residency of 2,967 for May 2026. This indicates a rise of 1,267 individuals (74.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, when the headcount stood at 1,700 people. This change is calculated from a local population of 2,941, computed by AreaSearch following analysis of the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures, combined with 163 validated new addresses since the Census date. Such a headcount translates to 190 persons per square kilometer, which indicates low density and possibilities for subsequent development.
The 74.5% rate of expansion since the 2021 census outstripped the Rest of Vic. (4.3%) and its corresponding SA4 zone, positioning it as a leading growth pocket. The primary driver of this demographic surge was interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 88.0% of the total headcount growth in recent times. Projections for individual SA2 zones published in 2024 (using 2022 as baseline data) by the ABS and Geoscience Australia have been utilized by AreaSearch. In instances where SA2 details were unavailable, projections were generated from the 2023 Regional/LGA dataset of the VIC State Government, adjusting the values via a weighted consolidation of population shifts from the LGA to SA2 scale. The resulting age bracket growth dynamics have been projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future expectations point to remarkable growth that sits in the highest 10 percent of all non-metropolitan locations, with aggregated SA2 projections indicating the suburb of San Remo (Vic.) will add 1,397 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 46.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
431 new dwellings have been approved in San Remo (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 86 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 29 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 69 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 87, broadly in line with 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building permit statistics shows that San Remo registers roughly 86 residential approvals per year, summing up to approximately 431 approved dwellings over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and an additional 80 in FY-26. Because an average of 3.1 new occupants moved in per finished dwelling during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand is outpacing supply, typically driving up purchase costs and escalating buyer rivalry, while approved projects average a value of $570,000, signaling a developer focus on high-end, premium housing.
Additionally, commercial building approvals reached $15.9 million this financial year, pointing to a moderate scale of business-related construction. Relative to Rest of Vic., construction volumes per resident in San Remo are 287.0% higher, giving purchasers a wider selection. This metric is significantly higher than the national average, pointing to solid developer optimism. The building mix consists of 93.0% detached family homes and 7.0% apartments or townhouses, which maintains the sparse density of the locality and caters to purchasers seeking space. Approximately 29 individuals exist for every dwelling approval, indicating a growing local market. Based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, San Remo is projected to add 1,371 occupants by 2041. If building rates remain stable, residential supply will comfortably satisfy demand, resulting in favorable purchasing options and potentially supporting expansion that outpaces current predictions.

1,396 residents of San Remo (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 1,461. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 58.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 2,472, 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
San Remo features a workforce with diverse capabilities, notably in the building sector, an unemployment rate of 4.5%, and an estimated 13.5% surge in job opportunities over the prior year, based on AreaSearch compilation of regional statistics. As of March 2026, 1,396 citizens are employed, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.8% higher than the Regional Vic. benchmark of 3.7%, and participation in the workforce running slightly below standard (58.0% relative to 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census records show that a moderate 23.7% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
Local employment is predominantly found within health care & social assistance, construction, and accommodation & food. The construction sector shows an especially high concentration, employing workers at 1.5 times the Regional Vic. rate. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is underrepresented, accounting for 3.3% of jobs compared to 7.5% across Regional Vic.. A comparison of Census local job numbers against the size of the resident workforce suggests that local employment options within the immediate vicinity are restricted. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch, which combines data from SALM and the ABS by pooling broader statistical areas, reveals that over the 12 months to March 2026, employment rose by 13.5% and the labour force grew by 12.6%, leading to a 0.7 percentage point decline in unemployment. In contrast, Regional Vic. experienced a 0.1% contraction in employment, a 0.3% drop in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage point decrease in unemployment. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia, released in May-25, provide additional perspective on anticipated future demand within San Remo. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these figures vary considerably across industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to San Remo's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years. It is important to note that this calculation relies on a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate 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 — 163 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,700 at the 2021 Census → 2,967 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.
