Sales Detail
Vermont has an estimated 11,435 residents, up from 10,993 at the 2021 Census — a change of 442 people, or 4.0%. That puts 2,481 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
According to the latest demographic updates from the ABS and fresh address registries verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Vermont has an estimated population of 11,435 as of May 2026. This indicates a rise of 442 residents (4.0%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,993 individuals. This population shift is calculated from the estimated resident figure of 11,435, which AreaSearch determined by reviewing the June 2025 ABS release of ERP figures alongside 40 validated new addresses added since the Census. With this population level, the local density stands at 2,480 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Vermont registered a 4.0% expansion rate since the 2021 census, outperforming the wider SA4 region (3.8%) and leading local growth. The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which served as the exclusive driver of local population increases during this timeframe. AreaSearch implements demographic projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 sectors, published in 2024 with a baseline year of 2022. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs Victorian State Government LGA and Regional projections from 2023, modified using a weighted aggregation method to translate growth patterns from the LGA scale to SA2 boundaries. The age cohort growth projections derived from these models are also applied across all regions for the period from 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trajectories, the suburb of Vermont is projected to experience population expansion slightly below the national median, with aggregated SA2-level modeling forecasting an increase of 1,101 residents by 2041, representing a total expansion of 9.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
181 new dwellings have been approved in Vermont over the past five years, an average of 36 a year. That is 3.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 36 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 69% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, 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
An assessment of building approvals compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area records shows that Vermont averages approximately 36 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 181 new dwellings over the previous 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 26 approvals have been documented so far. Because the ratio of new residents to completed dwellings averaged just 0.6 individuals per home between FY-21 and FY-25, the volume of new housing is keeping pace with or outstripping local demand. This scenario provides buyers with diverse options and establishes room for growth beyond current projections, with new builds averaging a construction cost of $689,000, illustrating a developer focus on high-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals reached $2.4 million in the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential profile of the suburb. Relative to Greater Melbourne, Vermont exhibits comparable per capita development activity, maintaining a supply balance aligned with neighboring districts. However, this building rate sits below the national average, reflecting the established nature of the suburb and suggesting the presence of planning restrictions. Of the new housing starts, 69.0% are standalone residential structures, while 31.0% are townhouses or apartments, showing a growing diversity of attached housing styles that accommodate varied budgets, ranging from large family homes to compact, entry-level residences. The suburb features roughly 407 residents for every dwelling approval, which is typical of a mature neighborhood. Looking ahead, the suburb of Vermont is projected to expand by 1,101 inhabitants by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Residential construction is keeping a steady pace with this projected population increase, though purchasers may experience rising competition as the number of residents grows.

5,854 residents of Vermont are employed, from a labour force of 6,013. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 64.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,890, 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
Vermont features a highly qualified labor force with a substantial concentration of professionals, a low unemployment rate of 2.6%, and an annual employment growth rate estimated at 1.4% according to AreaSearch regional data. As of March 2026, there are 5,854 working residents, and the local unemployment rate is 2.1% lower than the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%. However, labor force participation is lower at 64.9%, compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census data indicates that 38.5% of employed residents performed their jobs from home, although this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services. The suburb exhibits a notable concentration in education & training, with employment in this sector reaching 1.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing is underrepresented, employing only 2.9% of the local workforce compared to 5.2% in Greater Melbourne. This highly residential locality offers few local job opportunities, as demonstrated by the imbalance between the local working population and resident workforce counts in the Census. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional datasets, local employment grew by 1.4% and the labor force expanded by 1.8% during the 12 months ending March 2026, leading to a rise of 0.4 percentage points in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1%, labor force expansion of 2.3%, and a 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context regarding future workforce demand in the suburb. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these projections against the local occupational profile suggests employment in the suburb should rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a basic mathematical extrapolation 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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,993 at the 2021 Census → 11,435 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 (SAL22627). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
