Chart Color Schemes
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.

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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in St Kilda East stands at roughly 17,448 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2021 Census tally of 15,813 individuals, this represents an expansion of 1,635 people (10.3%). This net adjustment incorporates an ABS estimated resident population figure of 17,380 as of June 2025 alongside 100 validated new addresses added post-Census. With 7,239 persons per square kilometer, local density ranks within the top 10% nationwide on AreaSearch benchmarks, reflecting intense competition for land. The neighborhood's 10.3% advance since the 2021 census outpaced the state rate (9.5%) and broader nationwide benchmarks, positioning the community as a regional standout.
Net overseas arrivals served as the primary growth engine, accounting for roughly 83.0% of recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. Where localized figures are missing, AreaSearch applies VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts from 2023, utilizing a weighted aggregation model to step down growth from LGA to SA2 geographies. Age-specific growth trajectories derived from these models are subsequently applied across every district for 2032 to 2041. Over the longer horizon, the suburb is slated for upper-quartile expansion among national statistical areas, adding an anticipated 4,082 residents by 2041 based on recent annual ERP figures, an overall lift of 23.0% across the 16-year window.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
255 new dwellings have been approved in St Kilda East over the past five years, an average of 51 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 51 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 6% 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 approvals in St Kilda East have averaged approximately 51 dwellings annually, delivering 255 homes across the past 5 financial years. With only 0.5 additional residents registered per completed dwelling across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), additions to stock have matched or outpaced underlying demand, maintaining purchaser choices and unlocking headroom for demographic gains beyond standard projections. Approved builds carry an average estimated construction cost of $637,000, underscoring builder emphasis on high-end, premium residential products. Concurrently, non-residential activity remains subdued, with commercial building approvals totaling $6.3 million across the current financial year.
In per-capita terms, residential building volume in St Kilda East is noticeably subdued when set against Greater Melbourne (trailing the regional average by 72.0%). While this constrained pipeline helps preserve values and interest in existing stock, recent construction figures show a pickup in momentum. Pipeline volumes also sit below national benchmarks, pointing to the suburb's established character and probable town planning constraints. Attached dwellings and multi-unit projects make up 94.0% of approvals, with detached houses accounting for 6.0%. This leaning toward high-density formats provides accessible entry points, drawing first-home purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. The locality records approximately 4398 people per dwelling approval, indicative of a mature market landscape. Moving into the future, AreaSearch's newest quarterly figures project St Kilda East to gain 4,014 additional inhabitants by 2041. If building volume remains at existing levels, residential additions could fall short of demographic expansion, likely driving stronger buyer competition and supporting higher property prices.

12,262 residents of St Kilda East are employed, from a labour force of 12,921. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 83.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,918, about 74% 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 technology sector stands out as a major component of the workforce in St Kilda East, which boasts a highly educated population. The area records an unemployment rate of 5.1% and an estimated employment growth of 4.0% over the previous year. As of March 2026, 12,262 residents are employed, with an unemployment rate of 4.8% that sits 0.3% above the Greater Melbourne average. Workforce participation reaches 83.0%, significantly exceeding the Greater Melbourne figure of 70.1%. Census data indicates that 47.8% of residents work from home, although this high percentage should be viewed in the context of Covid-19 lockdown effects.
Local workers are predominantly engaged in professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The professional & technical discipline shows exceptional representation, exceeding regional rates by 1.5 times. In contrast, manufacturing forms a minimal component of the local base, employing 3.7% of residents against 7.2% across the wider region. Comparing the Census-recorded resident base against workplace locations confirms that local commercial job opportunities remain scarce within this largely residential district. AreaSearch's review of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that local employment expanded by 4.0% while labor pool participation rose 3.7% over the 12-month period, reducing the jobless rate by 0.2 percentage points. Across Greater Melbourne over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 2.1%, the workforce rose 2.3%, and unemployment edged up 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 projections provides additional context on anticipated labor shifts for St Kilda East. While national employment is modeled to rise 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry paths diverge substantially. Projecting these industry-level figures across St Kilda East's resident employment profile suggests local worker numbers would grow 7.1% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (representing an unadjusted weighted extrapolation for context without local 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 — 100 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,813 at the 2021 Census → 17,448 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.
