Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

Detail

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Ivanhoe's population is around 13,231 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 773 people (6.2%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 12,458 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 13,188 from the ABS as of June 2025 and an additional 198 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,620 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Ivanhoe's 6.2% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (5.5%), marking it as a growth leader in the region.

Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 99.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point, are applied by AreaSearch to each SA2 region. In cases where SA2 divisions lack coverage in this release, forecasts from the VIC State Government published in 2023 are utilized, incorporating adjustments via a weighted aggregation of population increases from LGA down to SA2 zones. Age distribution growth rates derived from these combinations are also extended across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Projecting future demographic trends, the locality is set to experience extraordinary expansion that ranks in the top 10 percent of all Australian areas, with expectations to add 5,614 persons to 2041 using the latest annual ERP statistics, indicating a cumulative rise of 42.1% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Ivanhoe

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

536 new dwellings have been approved in Ivanhoe over the past five years, an average of 107 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 97 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 19% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 43, well below 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

Approximately 107 residential building permits have been granted annually in Ivanhoe, summing to 536 over the last 5 financial years, with 40 recorded so far in FY-26. Because only 0.6 new residents arrived per approved home on average over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the volume of housing matches or exceeds local demand, giving purchasers more options and supporting population gains above baseline forecasts. Furthermore, newly built dwellings carry an average construction value of $516,000, showing that builders are focusing on the higher-end market segment. The current financial year also features $62.7 million in commercial building approvals, demonstrating robust commercial development activity.

Compared to Greater Melbourne, construction activity in Ivanhoe is relatively high, tracking 24.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which maintains choice for buyers while reinforcing demand for established homes. Houses make up 19.0% of this recent building activity, while apartments and townhouses account for 81.0%. This tilt toward higher-density options offers cheaper entry points and meets the needs of downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. It represents a major shift from the existing dwelling mix, where houses make up 55.0%, reflecting a decline in available greenfield land and changing lifestyles and affordability constraints. The area exhibits low-density characteristics, averaging 109 people per residential approval. Demographic projections indicate Ivanhoe will add 5,571 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should building rates stay at current levels, housing supply might lag behind this population influx, which could intensify buyer competition and drive faster price appreciation.

Dwelling approval activity in the the Ivanhoe SA2 area has seen 269 residential approvals over the past two financial years, based on AreaSearch's SA2 aggregation method. The Ivanhoe SA2's current population of 13,231 has been supported by 107 approvals on average over recent years.
How does the Ivanhoe SA2's development activity compare to the broader region?

Is the Ivanhoe SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 5,571 people by 2041, around 2,786 new dwellings will be necessary. Recent approval levels may be insufficient to meet these forecasts, considering the census average of 2.0 persons per dwelling. This indicates potential housing shortages if current approval trends continue.

Development approvals is a new addition to AreaSearch. We’re actively expanding council coverage and refining the dataset — details and statuses for some councils may be partial. Check back regularly for the latest pipeline.
Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 3 applications for Ivanhoe, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Ivanhoe

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

8,087 residents of Ivanhoe are employed, from a labour force of 8,285. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 72.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,299, about 85% 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

Ivanhoe has a highly qualified local workforce with a strong share of professional services, an unemployment rate sitting at just 2.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.4% over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 8,087, while the unemployment rate of 2.4% sat below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%. The labor force participation rate is normal, measuring 72.6% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne. According to Census responses, 46.2% of locals worked from home, though this figure should be viewed in light of Covid-19 restrictions.

The local workforce is heavily employed in healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training. The professional & technical sector is highly concentrated, employing residents at 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, construction is under-represented, employing 6.3% of Ivanhoe workers compared to 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. Comparison of the Census working population against resident workers suggests this largely residential suburb offers few local jobs. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 2.4% and the labor force grow by 3.0%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labor force grow by 2.3%, with the unemployment rate rising 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context for future employment needs in Ivanhoe. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to map out potential growth. Across Australia, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry trends onto the local labor profile indicates Ivanhoe's employment could grow by 7.3% over five years and 14.8% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 198 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,458 at the 2021 Census → 13,231 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 (209011200). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Ivanhoe SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Ivanhoe page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Ivanhoe data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
