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
Fitzroy has an estimated 12,135 residents, up from 10,431 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,704 people, or 16.3%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. 278 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 89.3% of that increase. That puts 8,794 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
Fitzroy had a population of approximately 12,135 in May 2026 according to AreaSearch. The community expanded by 1,704 individuals (16.3%) from the 10,431 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment combines a June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 12,135 with 278 validated new addresses registered after the census. The population density stands at 8,793 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest 10% of all areas evaluated nationwide, which highlights the intense demand for local land. The growth rate of 16.3% since the 2021 census outpaced the state figure of 9.3% and the country overall, positioning the suburb as a primary regional growth hub.
The expansion was largely fueled by arrivals from abroad, who accounted for roughly 89.3% of the total population increase recently. AreaSearch is implementing population forecasts from ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, using data published in 2024 that takes 2022 as the baseline year. Where such data does not exist for certain SA2 zones, the organization relies on Regional and LGA projections issued by the VIC State Government in 2023, adjusting them through a weighted aggregation technique that scales population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Age-specific growth rates derived from this aggregation are then applied uniformly across all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on anticipated demographic changes, a substantial rise in population is projected for the top quartile of Australian statistical areas, with the region anticipated to grow by 4,807 individuals by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP population figures, indicating a cumulative increase of 39.6% across the 16-year span.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
387 new dwellings have been approved in Fitzroy over the past five years, an average of 77 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 66 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 2% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 59, 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
Residential approvals in Fitzroy have averaged approximately 77 per year, with a total of 387 dwellings authorized over the last 5 financial years. There have been 55 building permits issued during FY-26 so far. Over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the local population grew by 2.2 residents for every completed dwelling, indicating solid underlying demand that helps maintain property values. The average projected cost for new homes is $630,000, which demonstrates that construction firms are focusing on high-end residential options. Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $35.8 million in the current financial year, showing active commercial investment.
Per capita building volumes in Fitzroy match those of Greater Melbourne, showing a balanced market that aligns with the wider metropolitan region despite a recent lift in construction. The mix of new construction comprises 2.0% detached houses and 98.0% multi-unit attached dwellings. Emphasizing high-density housing options offers more affordable entry price points and appeals to buyers looking to downsize, property investors, and first-time buyers. The area exhibits developing characteristics with approximately 122 residents for each authorized dwelling. Long-term forecasts suggest Fitzroy will add 4,807 inhabitants by 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Should current construction rates persist, the volume of new housing may fall short of population gains, which could heighten buyer competition and support upward pressure on prices.

7,823 residents of Fitzroy are employed, from a labour force of 8,530. Unemployment sits at 8.3%, with participation at 77.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.5% 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 16,968, about 140% 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
The local workforce is highly qualified, with strong representation in technology fields. The area recorded a jobless rate of 8.3% and experienced a 4.4% rise in employment over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,823, while the unemployment rate was 3.5% higher than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, highlighting potential for labor market improvements. Participation in the workforce was high at 77.4% compared to 70.2% for the Greater Melbourne area. Census data indicated that 53.5% of workers operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
Local jobs are concentrated in the professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training sectors. The suburb shows strong specialization in professional & technical fields, with employment shares 2.1 times higher than the broader region. Conversely, the construction sector is underrepresented, employing 3.6% of local workers compared to 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. Hosting 1.5 jobs for every resident at the time of the Census, the suburb serves as a regional employment center that draws commuting workers from surrounding neighborhoods. Analyzing data from SALM and the ABS indicates that employment rose by 4.4% over a 12-month period while the labor force grew by 3.8%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw employment grow by 2.1% and the labor force expand by 2.3%, with unemployment climbing by 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context for prospective demand in Fitzroy. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to local workforce data to project future growth. While national employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Projecting these industry trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment in Fitzroy could rise by 7.5% over five years and 15.0% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local population growth variations.

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 — 278 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,431 at the 2021 Census → 12,135 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 (206071142). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
