Surrey Hills has an estimated 14,235 residents, up from 13,655 at the 2021 Census — a change of 580 people, or 4.2%. 100 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 3,213 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
Surrey Hills's population is estimated at around 14,235 as of May 2026, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region alongside newly verified addresses since the Census. This represents an expansion of 580 people (4.2%) from the 13,655 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. The calculation is based on a resident population of 14,234, which was determined by AreaSearch after assessing the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) and incorporating an additional 100 validated new addresses post-Census. With these figures, the suburb of Surrey Hills has a density ratio of 3,213 persons per square kilometer, placing it within the highest quartile of all locations evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch.
Recent population growth in the area was almost exclusively driven by overseas migration, which served as the sole source of net gains. AreaSearch relies on 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 as a baseline for each SA2. In instances where SA2 data is unavailable, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 release are utilized, adjusting them via a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 tiers. The age cohort growth rates from these aggregations are also applied to the years 2032 through 2041. Looking forward, the suburb of Surrey Hills is projected to experience growth in the lower national quartile, adding 504 persons by 2041 based on the combined SA2-level figures, which represents an overall increase of 3.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
328 new dwellings have been approved in Surrey Hills over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That is 4.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 57 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 53% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 56, 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
AreaSearch's analysis of ABS building approval data allocated to statistical regions indicates that Surrey Hills averages approximately 65 approved dwellings annually. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), 328 homes received approval, with an additional 52 approved during the current FY-26. Relative to the recent decline in population, this level of development has been appropriate, presenting favorable options for buyers. The average valuation of these new dwellings stands at $1,717,000, indicating that developers are focusing their efforts on high-end, premium properties. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $11.3 million during this financial year, reflecting moderate commercial construction activity.
Of the new developments, detached houses comprise 53.0% while attached dwellings make up 47.0%, showcasing a growing diversity of attached options that offer choices across various price ranges, from larger family residences to smaller, more affordable options. Surrey Hills displays characteristics typical of a low-density area, averaging approximately 222 people for each dwelling approval. Long-term projections estimate that Surrey Hills will add 503 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimation. Based on current trends in construction, future housing supply is expected to comfortably satisfy demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially supporting population increases that outpace the current forecasts.

8,316 residents of Surrey Hills are employed, from a labour force of 8,563. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 70.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,275, 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
Surrey Hills is characterized by a highly educated workforce with a significant concentration in professional services, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and an estimated annual employment growth of 2.1%, according to AreaSearch's compiled regional statistics. In March 2026, there were 8,316 working residents, with an unemployment rate 1.9% below the 4.8% recorded for Greater Melbourne, while labor participation matched Greater Melbourne's rate of 70.2%. Census data indicates that 51.0% of the working population operated from home, though this figure should be interpreted in light of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The workforce is highly specialized in professional & technical services, representing 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, construction has a relatively minor footprint, employing 5.8% of residents compared to 9.7% across the region. Comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that this predominantly residential locality offers limited local job opportunities. Aggregated SALM and ABS data analyzed by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 2.1% and the labor force increased by 2.5%, resulting in a rise in unemployment of 0.4 percentage points. Over the same timeframe in Greater Melbourne, employment increased by 2.1%, the labor force grew by 2.3%, and unemployment rose by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia (released May-25) provide further context regarding prospective demand in Surrey Hills. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local industry mix to estimate growth trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these trends to the local employment structure suggests Surrey Hills's workforce could expand by 7.3% over five years and 14.8% over ten years, noting this is a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry shares and does not incorporate 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 — 100 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,655 at the 2021 Census → 14,235 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 (SAL22399). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
