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.

Camberwell has an estimated 22,104 residents, up from 21,232 at the 2021 Census — a change of 872 people, or 4.1%. 215 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 3,032 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 findings by AreaSearch, the resident count for Camberwell stands at approximately 22,104 in May 2026. Compared to the 21,232 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a growth of 872 individuals (4.1%). This updated figure is derived using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 22,052, combined with 215 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The local population density reaches 3,032 persons per square kilometer, which ranks in the top quartile of all nationwide areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The post-census growth of 4.1% sits within 2.5 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (6.6%), indicating competitive local growth drivers.
The primary catalyst for these gains was overseas migration, which served as the sole contributor to population increases in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, utilizing 2022 as their starting point. Where these figures are unavailable for certain SA2 boundaries, projections from the VIC State Government released in 2023 are applied via a weighted aggregation methodology from LGA to SA2 zones. Estimated growth trajectories by age bracket from these models are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on expected demographic patterns, AreaSearch anticipates growth in the lower quartile of assessed regions, with the local population projected to rise by 223 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, yielding a net increase of 0.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
526 new dwellings have been approved in Camberwell over the past five years, an average of 105 a year. That is 4.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 81 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 42% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 92, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An average of roughly 105 new home approvals are registered annually in Camberwell, amounting to 526 dwellings over the past 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 85 approvals have been logged. Because the local population has decreased, housing supply has successfully kept pace with demand, sustaining a balanced market with diverse purchasing options, while new builds carry a mean estimated build cost of $731,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing upscale, premium properties. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $21.2 million this financial year, pointing to moderate commercial construction activity.
Camberwell exhibits 13.0% less new development per resident than Greater Melbourne, placing it in the 62nd percentile among all locations evaluated across the nation. Recent building activity consists of 42.0% separate houses and 58.0% medium to high-density options. This shift toward higher-density projects offers more affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the current housing mix (which is 61.0% houses), indicating a reduction in available vacant land alongside changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability constraints. The area averages approximately 240 people for each new home approval, pointing to a low density environment. Looking forward, the population of Camberwell is projected to grow by 171 individuals by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Current building volumes suggest that residential supply will comfortably satisfy demand, establishing positive conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces official estimates.

Camberwell Junction Activity Centre Plan
A transformative urban renewal plan finalized by the Victorian Government in April 2025 to deliver at least 7,500 new homes by 2051. The plan introduces new planning controls including a Built Form Overlay allowing heights up to 12 storeys (approx. 43 meters) in the commercial core and a Housing Choice and Transport Zone in the surrounding catchment allowing 3 to 6 storeys. It focuses on high-density mixed-use development, heritage preservation, and improved pedestrian connectivity. Major private developments under this framework include the 12-storey 'Above Zero' project at 697-699 Burke Road, which was approved in early 2026 as the area's second tallest building.
Glyndon Residences
A boutique collection of 13 architecturally designed luxury townhouses in Camberwell, conceived by Cera Stribley with interiors by Lauren Tarrant. Rooted in the area's architectural heritage, the project reinterprets Federation-era elegance through a contemporary lens with Parisian influences. Each home features 'Your Other Space' - a private flexible retreat in the secure basement, and achieves a 7.5-star energy rating. Designed for living, built for life.

The new orbital rail line will connect major educational, health, and commercial precincts while integrating with existing regional and metropolitan rail networks[cite: 1]. Trains are scheduled to commence passenger operations by 2035[cite: 1].
12,418 residents of Camberwell are employed, from a labour force of 12,793. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 67.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 local workforce in Camberwell is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent of professional services workers, a low unemployment rate of 2.9%, and an annual employment growth rate estimated at 1.8%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 12,418, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.8% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, while participation in the labor force is slightly low (67.9% compared to the 70.2% seen across Greater Melbourne). Census records indicate that 50.1% of local workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
Resident employment is heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The professional & technical sector is highly represented, matching 1.6 times the regional average. By contrast, the construction sector is less prominent, employing 5.1% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 9.7%. Although there are local jobs available, the ratio of Census working population to local residents suggests a significant portion of the workforce travels outside the area for employment. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the preceding 12-month period saw employment rise by 1.8% while the total labor force grew by 2.5%, leading to a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Greater Melbourne, employment increased by 2.1%, the workforce expanded by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on prospective employment demands for Camberwell. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local employment characteristics to project potential future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying greatly by industry. Applying these national projections to the local employment mix suggests Camberwell could see job growth of 7.4% over five years and 14.9% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for 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 — 215 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (21,232 at the 2021 Census → 22,104 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 (207011149). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
