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
Mentone has an estimated 14,198 residents, up from 13,197 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,001 people, or 7.6%. Overseas migration accounts for 93.1% of that increase. That puts 3,191 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 AreaSearch, the population of Mentone stands at 14,198 as of Aug 2026. This figure represents a rise of 1,001 individuals, accounting for a 7.6% increase over the 2021 Census count of 13,197 residents. The adjustment is derived from the Australian Bureau of Statistics estimate of 14,155 residents recorded as of June 2025, along with 85 newly validated addresses added after the Census date. With a density of 3,190 people per square kilometer, Mentone falls within the upper quartile compared to other national locations reviewed by AreaSearch. The 7.6% expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 regional average of 6.8%, establishing Mentone as a leading growth area.
Recent population gains have been largely attributed to overseas migration, which made up roughly 93.1% of the total increase. SA2 demographic projections applied by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 using 2022 as a reference benchmark. Where specific SA2 areas lack coverage from this series, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections are integrated via a population-weighted aggregation method translating LGA trends to SA2 geographies. These age-cohort growth projections are also extended across all examined localities for the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these anticipated shifts, the locality is forecast to experience population growth above the median of statistical areas reviewed by AreaSearch, expanding by 1,726 persons through to 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, which translates to a cumulative increase of 11.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
208 new dwellings have been approved in Mentone over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 41 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 39% 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 planning approvals across Mentone have tracked at approximately 41 dwellings annually, accumulating to 208 homes over the recent 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, incoming population demand averaged 1.4 new residents per year per approved residence, pointing to balanced conditions across supply and demand. However, the last 2 financial years have recorded an acceleration to 5.8 people per dwelling, indicating heightened market interest and emerging supply constraints. Construction value per new residence averages $702,000, demonstrating builder emphasis on upscale, premium-tier dwellings. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $39.8 million during this financial year, reflecting substantial capital expenditure in local business assets.
Compared with Greater Melbourne on a per-capita basis, Mentone registers roughly two-thirds the volume of dwelling approvals, while ranking in the 38th percentile among locations assessed across the country. This comparatively constrained pipeline limits purchasing options and reinforces interest in established dwellings. Furthermore, running below the national midpoint illustrates the established nature of the suburb alongside potential urban planning limitations. Of current residential approvals, detached houses represent 39.0%, while medium and high-density formats make up 61.0%. This emphasis on higher-density construction offers accessible price points catering to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. A ratio of approximately 382 people per dwelling approval confirms an established, built-out property environment. Projections derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release estimate Mentone's population will expand by 1,683 residents through to 2041. Should dwelling creation persist at existing levels, building completions could face difficulties accommodating incoming demographic growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and placing upward pressure on property values.

7,851 residents of Mentone are employed, from a labour force of 8,296. Unemployment sits at 5.4%, with participation at 69.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,054, about 92% 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
The local labour pool displays strong educational credentials alongside notable participation in professional services, with local unemployment standing at 5.4%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 7,851, while the local jobless rate sits 0.6% higher than the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%. The local participation rate aligns closely with the Greater Melbourne level of 70.1%. At the time of the Census, 39.5% of working residents carried out their roles from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for resident workers include health care & social assistance, professional & technical, as well as retail trade.
Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing represents a smaller share of the local workforce, engaging only 2.8% of workers in Mentone relative to 5.2% across Greater Melbourne. Although employment exists within the suburb, comparisons between local workplace counts and the resident workforce suggest a substantial proportion travels outside the area for employment. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM releases indicate that over the 12-month period, the local labour pool shrank by 0.3% while overall jobs fell by 0.6%, resulting in an unemployment increase of 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne saw employment climb by 2.1% and its labour force grow by 2.3%, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage points rise in unemployment. National employment modelling published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provides broader context for future staffing needs. These forecasts, structured across five and ten-year horizons, are mapped to Mentone's industry distribution to project potential employment trajectories. Across the country, total employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across sectors. Applying this sectoral composition to Mentone indicates potential local job expansion of 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (calculated as a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration, without adjusting for localised demographic 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 — 85 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,197 at the 2021 Census → 14,198 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 (208031190). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
