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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Taylors Hill

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Taylors Hill has an estimated 19,874 residents, up from 19,539 at the 2021 Census — a change of 335 people, or 1.7%. That puts 3,329 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Taylors Hill stands at approximately 19,874 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 335 individuals (1.7%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 19,539 residents. This demographic shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 19,874 from June 2025 alongside 8 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. With this population level, the density ratio reaches 3,329 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The upward population trajectory was chiefly propelled by overseas migration, which comprised roughly 69.3% of the total population gains in recent times.

For each SA2 territory, AreaSearch uses projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the baseline. In cases where SA2 regions lack this data, projections are derived from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method to translate growth from LGA to SA2 tiers. The age group growth rates calculated from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts indicate a major population rise in the highest quartile nationally, with the locality projected to expand by 5,487 individuals to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which translates to a total increase of 27.6% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Taylors Hill

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

56 new dwellings have been approved in Taylors Hill over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 0.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, broadly in line with 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 11 residential building approvals have been granted annually in Taylors Hill, yielding a total of 56 residential units over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 11 approvals have been documented. Since the population has shrunk over the recent timeframe, the volume of housing supply has remained sufficient for demand, establishing a balanced marketplace with options for buyers, while new homes are constructed at an average cost of $537,000, indicating that developers are targeting the upscale market segment with high-end properties. Furthermore, commercial project approvals worth $21.8 million have been registered during this financial year, pointing to steady commercial construction activity.

In comparison to Greater Melbourne, Taylors Hill registers significantly lower levels of construction activity. This limited flow of new housing stock generally bolsters demand and valuations for pre-existing properties. This construction rate is similarly depressed when compared to national trends, showing the maturity of the local market and suggesting potential constraints on development. In addition, recent construction is composed entirely of detached houses, maintaining the suburban character of the locality with a prevalence of single-family homes designed for buyers prioritizing space. The region averages about 2522 individuals for every residential approval, which highlights the established nature of this market. Long-term forecasts indicate Taylors Hill will add 5,487 occupants by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Should the current pace of construction persist, the supply of new housing may fail to match the population increase, which could intensify competition among purchasers and foster more robust appreciation in property prices.

This indicates potential housing shortages if current approval trends continue.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 3 applications for Taylors Hill, 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.

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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (19,539 at the 2021 Census → 19,874 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 (213041360). 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 Taylors Hill 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 Taylors Hill 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 Taylors Hill 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 (Aug 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.
