This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Box Hill has an estimated 28,034 residents, up from 22,841 at the 2021 Census — a change of 5,193 people, or 22.7%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 91% of areas nationally. 1,924 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 98.7% of that increase. That puts 3,999 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Box Hill stands at approximately 28,034 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 5,193 people (22.7%) relative to the 22,841 people counted during the 2021 Census. Such demographic movement is deduced using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population figure of 27,209 alongside 1,924 validated new addresses documented following the Census date. With 3,999 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density places in the top 10% among national locations examined by AreaSearch, underscoring significant demand for local real estate.
Outperforming both the broader state and the SA4 region (8.9%), Box Hill's 22.7% growth since the 2021 census positions it as a premier regional growth hub. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth engine, generating around 98.7% of total recent population gains. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as a base year) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In instances where SA2 areas lack coverage from this series, AreaSearch incorporates the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, converting LGA growth metrics to SA2 geographies via a weighted aggregation methodology. These aggregated age-bracket growth trajectories are further projected across all geographies for 2032 to 2041. Factoring in anticipated demographic changes, AreaSearch projects substantial expansion placing the area within the top quartile of analyzed statistical areas; specifically, current annual ERP figures indicate the locality will gain 8,827 persons by 2041, culminating in a cumulative increase of 28.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,306 new dwellings have been approved in Box Hill over the past five years, an average of 261 a year. That places the area in the 82nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 261 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 15% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Box Hill have averaged approximately 261 dwellings per annum, amounting to 1,306 homes across the prior 5 financial years. Newly constructed residences reflect an average value of $535,000, while accommodating an average of 2.4 new residents annually per dwelling throughout the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), pointing to robust demand that underpins local property values. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $233.5 million were logged during this financial year, highlighting substantial local business and commercial development. On a per-capita basis, Box Hill generates 61.0% more new home approvals than Greater Melbourne, providing expanded options for purchasers despite a recent moderation in building volume.
Construction levels remain substantially above national figures, highlighting elevated developer interest in the precinct. The breakdown of upcoming supply comprises 15.0% standalone homes alongside 85.0% townhouses or apartments. This orientation toward higher-density formats creates accessible price points appealing to first-time purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. Compared with the existing residential stock (which currently includes 37.0% houses), this shift underscores a reduction in available development parcels while catering to evolving lifestyle trends and a requirement for diverse, budget-friendly housing choices. With approximately 228 people per dwelling approval, the precinct continues to demonstrate a maturing property landscape. Long-term forecasts derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate that Box Hill will add 7,999 residents by 2041. While residential construction currently matches expected demographic expansion, prospective buyers might face heightened market competition as local numbers increase.

15,166 residents of Box Hill are employed, from a labour force of 16,153. Unemployment sits at 6.1%, with participation at 66.9%. 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, 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 32,248, about 115% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Characterized by an educated talent pool and notable depth across professional services, Box Hill records an unemployment rate of 6.1% and saw an estimated 1.4% gain in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 15,166 residents participate in active employment; however, the local unemployment rate sits 1.3% above the 4.8% recorded for Greater Melbourne, while labor force participation (66.9%) remains somewhat below the metropolitan benchmark of 70.1%. Census findings showed a significant 33.8% of employed residents working from home, a metric that may reflect prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Leading industry sectors employing local residents comprise health care & social assistance, professional & technical, alongside accommodation & food.
Specialization in accommodation & food is pronounced, capturing a workforce proportion 1.7 times the broader metropolitan level. In contrast, construction remains relatively limited, engaging only 6.9% of local workers compared to 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. A Census ratio of 0.9 workers per resident indicates substantial local employment opportunities within the area. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures for the twelve months to March 2026, a 1.4% increase in employment alongside a 2.6% rise in the labor force caused the unemployment rate to climb by 1.1 percentage points. Across Greater Melbourne over the identical timeframe, employment expanded by 2.1%, the labor force grew by 2.3%, and unemployment rose 0.2 percentage points. Longer-term workforce expectations can be contextualized using national projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts were applied against the local sector distribution to gauge potential growth paths. While nation-wide employment is anticipated to climb 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector-level trajectories vary considerably. Projecting these industry rates onto the Box Hill employment structure indicates local job gains of 6.9% across five years and 14.2% across ten years (this represents a direct weighted modeling exercise for context and excludes local population forecasting).

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 — 1,924 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (22,841 at the 2021 Census → 28,034 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.
