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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Richmond (South) - Cremorne is approximately 19,250 as of May 2026. Since the 2021 Census, which recorded 17,671 residents, the population has expanded by 1,579 individuals (8.9%). This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 19,225 combined with 287 validated new addresses identified after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 4,487 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the top 10% of all national areas evaluated by AreaSearch and highlights the high demand for local land.
The 8.9% rate of growth since the census is competitive, falling within 0.4 percentage points of the 9.3% state average. Overseas migration served as the primary driver of this growth, accounting for roughly 81.3% of the recent population increase. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as a baseline, are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset, using weighted aggregation to scale population growth from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Age group growth rates from these aggregations are applied to projections spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic models suggest a significant population rise, ranking in the top quartile of statistical areas nationally. The area is projected to grow by 6,382 residents up to 2041, based on the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a 33.0% expansion over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
398 new dwellings have been approved in Richmond (South) - Cremorne over the past five years, an average of 79 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 63 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 11% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Over the last 5 financial years, Richmond (South) - Cremorne recorded 398 total home approvals, averaging approximately 79 new dwellings annually. In FY-26 to date, 13 approvals have been logged. The ratio of new residents to completed dwellings averaged just 0.7 people per home between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating that new housing construction is matching or outstripping local demand. This scenario provides buyers with diverse options and allows for population expansion beyond current projections, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $777,000, pointing to a development focus on high-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $389.5 million were recorded this financial year, illustrating strong local business investment. Richmond (South) - Cremorne registers approximately 60% of the per capita building activity of Greater Melbourne, placing it in the 73rd percentile of locations evaluated across Australia, though development has recently quickened. The composition of new builds is 11.0% freestanding houses and 89.0% attached residences. This concentration of high-density housing provides affordable options for entry-level buyers, downsizers, and investors. The local market is developing, with a ratio of around 282 people for every residential approval. Projections indicate that Richmond (South) - Cremorne will add 6,357 occupants by 2041, using the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new homes may fall short of population growth, which could intensify competition among buyers and support higher property values.

14,602 residents of Richmond (South) - Cremorne are employed, from a labour force of 15,042. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 85.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 27,304, about 142% 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 educated, featuring strong representation in the technology industry, a low unemployment rate of 2.9%, and an estimated 3.5% increase in employment over the past year. As of March 2026, there are 14,602 employed residents, with an unemployment rate 1.8% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. The labor force participation rate is high at 85.9%, compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census data indicates that 53.6% of residents worked from home, though this figure reflects the impact of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The area exhibits a strong specialization in professional & technical services, with an employment share that is 2.0 times the regional average. In contrast, manufacturing is underrepresented at 3.9% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 7.2%. The area operates as an employment center, containing more jobs than working residents, with a ratio of 1.6 workers for every resident at the time of the Census, drawing commuting workers from nearby districts. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, employment rose by 3.5% and the labor force grew by 3.8% over the 12-month period, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne experienced a 2.1% rise in employment and a 2.3% rise in the labor force, with the unemployment rate also climbing by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future labor demand in Richmond (South) - Cremorne. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model 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. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local workforce mix suggests employment in Richmond (South) - Cremorne could rise by 7.4% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate localized 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 — 287 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (17,671 at the 2021 Census → 19,250 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.
