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.

Sales Detail
Camperdown has an estimated 3,386 residents, down from 3,491 at the 2021 Census — a change of 105 people, or 3.0%. The population has thinned by an average 0.8% a year over five years, slower than 98% of areas nationally. Density is about 35 people per 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 resident count of Camperdown stands at approximately 3,386 as of Aug 2026. This represents a contraction of 105 people (-3.0%) compared to the 3,491 people documented in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is established using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 3,358 as of June 2025 alongside 42 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With a density of 34 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous living room for its inhabitants. The area's -3.0% decline since census tracks within 1.5 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (-1.5%), mirroring regional demographic patterns.
Inflow from overseas migration served as the primary contributor to local numbers, acting as virtually the exclusive source of demographic additions throughout recent periods. Projections compiled by the ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 (anchored to 2022 as the base year) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For SA2 territories where this dataset is unavailable, VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections issued in 2023 are integrated, applying weighted aggregations of LGA demographic movement down to SA2 zones. These aggregated age-bracket growth trajectories are extended across all localities for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking forward, the community is anticipated to record strong demographic expansion placing it within the top quartile of non-metropolitan districts nationwide, with projections indicating a gain of 723 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP figures, representing a 20.5% cumulative expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Camperdown over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 3.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building authorisations in Camperdown have averaged roughly 12 dwellings each year, totaling 61 homes approved across the past 5 financial years (spanning FY-22 and FY-26). In the context of a declining local populace, residential construction volumes have remained proportionately sound, offering favourable conditions for prospective purchasers, with new additions carrying an estimated construction cost averaging $455,000. Non-residential building activity included $2.8 million in commercial approvals during the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly domestic nature of the township. Per-capita dwelling consent volumes in Camperdown track at approximately three-quarters of the pace recorded across Rest of Vic., positioning the locality at the 52nd percentile of assessed areas across Australia.
Detached houses accounted for 75.0% of recent approvals while attached dwellings made up 25.0%, reinforcing the traditional open suburban structure tailored to family living. This distribution signals a noteworthy pivot from the existing built environment (in which 94.0% are detached dwellings), reflecting tightening land constraints alongside evolving resident preferences and budget requirements. A ratio of approximately 284 people per dwelling approval demonstrates the low-density nature of the township. Over the period leading through to 2041, demographic forecasts project Camperdown to add 693 residents (relative to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch). If ongoing dwelling consent rates fail to accelerate, additions to local housing stock could fall short of resident growth, potentially heightening competition for properties and placing upward pressure on values.

1,477 residents of Camperdown are employed, from a labour force of 1,503. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 52.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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
A well-rounded occupational profile across both professional and trade sectors characterises Camperdown, supported by robust representation in community services and a minimal unemployment rate of 1.7%. Employed persons numbered 1,477 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 2.0% below the 3.7% benchmark observed in Regional Vic.. However, labour force engagement remains subdued at 52.7% compared to 61.1% across Regional Vic.. Census data revealed that only 9.7% of working residents carried out their duties from home, an observation that must be viewed alongside Covid-19 lockdown measures in place at the time.
The primary sectors supporting local employment are health care & social assistance, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and retail trade. The agricultural, forestry & fishing industry demonstrates substantial local concentration, holding a 1.5 times greater proportion of employment than the wider region. Conversely, building trades engage only 8.5% of resident workers, trailing the 10.4% recorded across Regional Vic.. Although local jobs are accessible, a comparison between local resident worker counts and total population suggests a substantial share of residents travel outside the immediate vicinity for work. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 6.4% while total employed persons dropped by 6.3%, yielding a 0.1 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the corresponding timeframe, Regional Vic. saw employment fall by 0.1% alongside a 0.3% drop in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point decline in joblessness. National employment outlooks released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context on future occupational demand in Camperdown across five- and ten-year intervals. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trajectories vary across specific sectors. Applying these industry growth estimates to the local workforce composition projects an employment uplift of 5.9% across five years and 12.8% across ten years (this represents a baseline weighted model for comparative review and excludes regional population adjustments).

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 — 42 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,491 at the 2021 Census → 3,386 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (217031471). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
