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
Flemington has an estimated 9,935 residents, up from 9,065 at the 2021 Census — a change of 870 people, or 9.6%. 553 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 87.9% of that increase. That puts 6,288 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Flemington houses approximately 9,935 inhabitants as of Aug 2026. Comparing this against the 2021 Census tally of 9,065 people, the local community has expanded by 870 individuals, or 9.6%. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 9,935 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 553 validated new addresses confirmed post-Census. With a density of 6,288 persons per square kilometer, Flemington places in the upper 10% of all territories evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch, underscoring intense demand for local real estate. Outperforming both broader Victoria and its encompassing SA3 district (which grew by 9.0%), Flemington's 9.6% surge positions it as a standout regional growth pocket.
Inflow from abroad served as the core catalyst, generating roughly 87.9% of recent net gains. Projections compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) form the foundation of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. Where coverage gaps exist, figures integrate 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts, downscaled to SA2 zones via weighted aggregation techniques. Age-bracket distribution trajectories from these aggregations are similarly carried forward across all districts for the years 2032 through to 2041. Over the longer horizon, the locality is slated to exceed the nationwide median expansion rate, adding an anticipated 1,548 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP statistics—representing an overall 16-year increase of 15.6%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
802 new dwellings have been approved in Flemington over the past five years, an average of 160 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 160 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 1% 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 Flemington have tracked at roughly 160 per annum, totaling 802 sanctioned dwellings across the 5 financial years from FY-22 to FY-26. Amid previous population contraction, dwelling delivery has comfortably balanced demand to maintain stable market conditions and healthy buyer choice, with newly permitted homes averaging an estimated construction value of $456,000. Additionally, commercial development permits reached $2.8 million over the ongoing financial year, underlining the precinct's predominantly residential character. On a per-capita basis, building activity in Flemington outpaces Greater Melbourne by 115.0%, ensuring extensive choices for prospective buyers.
This rate sits well above the Australian benchmark and highlights pronounced developer appetite. Approvals are overwhelmingly concentrated in medium and high-density formats (99.0%), with detached houses constituting a mere 1.0%. This emphasis on attached living provides more accessible pricing options suited to first-time purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a marked departure from the existing physical stock (where houses make up 20.0%), responding to land scarcity while aligning with evolving demographic preferences and budget considerations. At approximately 4985 people per dwelling approval, the local property landscape demonstrates notable maturity. Demographic outlooks project Flemington will absorb an extra 1,548 inhabitants through to 2041 according to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Ongoing construction volumes appear well placed to meet incoming housing needs, offering advantageous buyer conditions while establishing capacity for growth beyond baseline forecasts.

5,983 residents of Flemington are employed, from a labour force of 6,747. Unemployment sits at 11.3%, with participation at 77.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,175, about 82% 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
Flemington features a highly skilled talent pool with a strong presence in knowledge-based services, an unemployment rate standing at 11.3%, and annual employment expansion estimated at 5.9%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,983. The jobless rate sits 6.6% higher than the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, highlighting capacity for labor market gains, even as labor force participation remains elevated at 77.0% compared to 70.1% across Greater Melbourne. Census records showed that 45.5% of working locals operated from home, though this metric was shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for resident workers are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
The professional & technical discipline shows exceptional concentration, tracking at 1.5 times the wider metropolitan baseline. In contrast, construction accounts for only 4.8% of the resident workforce, below the regional figure of 9.7%. Given the area's predominantly residential profile, internal job opportunities remain limited when contrasting Census local workforce totals against the resident working population. AreaSearch examination of ABS and SALM releases shows that over the twelve months to March 2026, resident employment rose by 5.9% while the total labor force expanded by 3.8%, resulting in a 1.8 percentage point reduction in the local unemployment rate. Across Greater Melbourne, employment grew by 2.1% and the labor force increased by 2.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further visibility into medium-term trends. Projected across five and ten-year windows and mapped to the local skill base, these benchmarks indicate varying industry trajectories. While national headcount is forecasted to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, applying these sector multipliers to Flemington's workforce indicates potential local gains of 7.2% and 14.6% over five and ten years respectively (representing a direct weighted extrapolation for modeling purposes without factoring in localized 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 — 553 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,065 at the 2021 Census → 9,935 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 (206031115). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
