Sales Detail
Upper Ferntree Gully has an estimated 3,403 residents. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 93% of areas nationally. That puts 1,016 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
Analyzing ABS updates for the region alongside new residential addresses confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully has an estimated population of approximately 3,403 as of May 2026. This represents a minor drop of 14 people (0.4%) relative to the 2021 Census count of 3,417 people. The calculation is derived from a resident headcount of 3,394 estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS demographic release from June 2025, combined with a single verified new address since the Census. This population size results in a density of 1,015 persons per square kilometer, matching typical averages for areas monitored by AreaSearch.
Growth locally was mostly supported by international arrivals, who accounted for about 52.0% of the overall population increases lately. AreaSearch incorporates SA2-level growth projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 territories where this is unavailable, figures are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, scaled down to SA2 zones via weighted population averages. The age distribution trends from these calculations are applied to the years 2032 through 2041. Future demographic movements indicate expansion will track slightly below the national median, with the suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully projected to add 171 residents by 2041, representing a total growth rate of 4.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
20 new dwellings have been approved in Upper Ferntree Gully over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, well below 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's evaluation of ABS building approval records mapped to local statistical boundaries, the suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully averages approximately 4 approved residential dwellings annually. This totals an estimated 20 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), with 2 approvals registered in FY-26 so far. Because the resident population decreased recently, the volume of new completions has likely matched local demand, maintaining options for prospective buyers. The average estimated building value of these new dwellings is $575,000, indicating a focus by builders on upscale, premium projects.
Additionally, commercial development approvals total $12.8 million for the current financial year, indicating a moderate level of commercial building activity. Recent construction approvals consist of 60.0% standalone houses and 40.0% semi-detached or high-density dwellings. This highlights an increasing proportion of medium-density choices, offering a diverse selection of housing styles and price ranges from conventional family residences to compact, economical alternatives. This is a clear departure from the historical housing pattern of the area, which currently comprises 97.0% standalone houses, signaling a shortage of vacant residential land, shifting preferences, and a demand for more varied, cost-effective options. With roughly 6802 people for every approval, the suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully presents as an established, fully developed community. Long-term demographic projections suggest the suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully will add 162 inhabitants through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at its current pace, additions to the housing stock may not keep up with this growth, which could increase competition among buyers and put upward pressure on prices.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,922, 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
The suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully has a highly qualified workforce with strong representation in key service sectors, an unemployment rate of just 3.0%, and an annual employment expansion rate of 1.7% based on AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. In March 2026, working residents numbered 1,969, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.8% below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%. The labor participation rate matches the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 70.2%. Census figures show a high 30.3% of workers performed their duties from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction periods.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training. The area exhibits a high concentration of construction jobs, with its share of employment reaching 1.4 times the regional proportion. In contrast, the financial & insurance services sector is underrepresented, making up 2.9% of local jobs compared to the metropolitan average of 4.9%. Because of the discrepancy between the local working population and resident headcount, this residential district offers few local employment opportunities. Based on AreaSearch research using SALM and ABS statistics for the surrounding region, employment rose by 1.7% and the active workforce grew by 1.8% over the 12 months ending March 2026, leaving local unemployment virtually unchanged. In comparison, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1%, the workforce grow by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate tick up by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future labor demand for the suburb of Upper Ferntree Gully. These forecasts, looking out five and ten years, are mapped to the local industry mix to project growth. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though prospects vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections locally suggest a job growth rate of 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted calculation that excludes local demographic 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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,417 at the 2021 Census → 3,403 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 (SAL22614). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
