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
Toorak has an estimated 13,611 residents, up from 12,953 at the 2021 Census — a change of 658 people, or 5.1%. 237 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 97.9% of that increase. That puts 3,151 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 findings from AreaSearch, the resident count of Toorak stands at approximately 13,611 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 658 residents (5.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a total of 12,953 individuals. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 13,610 in June 2025 alongside 237 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 3,150 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quartile of all analyzed Australian areas. The primary driver of this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 97.9% of the total population gains in recent times.
ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024, using 2022 as a starting point, are used by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this dataset, estimations rely on the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections, modified by aggregating population growth rates from LGA to SA2 levels using weighted proportions. Projected growth dynamics by age bracket derived from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, growth is projected to rank in the lowest quartile of Australian statistical territories, with a projected expansion of 358 residents by 2041 using the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative increase of 2.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
326 new dwellings have been approved in Toorak over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That is 4.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 55 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 86, running ahead of 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
Approvals for residential builds in Toorak average approximately 65 properties annually, totaling 326 residential units over the preceding 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 79 during FY-26 so far. Even with a contracting population in recent times, construction volumes have been relatively sufficient, presenting favorable conditions for purchasers, while newly built properties carry a mean construction cost of $2,378,000, showing that builders are focusing on the luxury market with upscale residential developments. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $37.9 million this financial year, pointing to active investment by local businesses.
Building activity in Toorak is significantly subdued compared to the Greater Melbourne average, tracking 58.0% below the regional per capita figure. This limited supply of incoming dwellings generally boosts demand and valuation metrics for existing residences. Newly approved projects consist of 29.0% standalone houses and 71.0% semi-detached properties, townhouses, or apartments. This preference for higher-density housing configurations yields accessible entry options and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. With a ratio of approximately 302 people per approved dwelling, Toorak is characterized by low-density development metrics. Demographic projections indicate that Toorak is set to add 357 new residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. At current rates of construction, the supply of new dwellings is expected to comfortably accommodate this demand, creating positive conditions for buyers and potentially fostering growth that exceeds current population estimates.

7,779 residents of Toorak are employed, from a labour force of 7,979. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 65.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,106, about 89% 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 workforce in Toorak is highly qualified, with a prominent share of professionals, a low unemployment rate of 2.5%, and an annual employment growth estimate of 3.9%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,779, with unemployment tracking 2.3% lower than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, while the participation rate is slightly below the metropolitan standard (65.4% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne). Census returns indicate that a substantial 47.7% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 containment measures. The primary employment sectors for residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and finance & insurance.
Local workers are heavily concentrated in the professional & technical sector, with its representation reaching 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, the construction industry employs only 5.1% of the workforce, compared to 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. Comparing the number of working residents to those employed locally suggests that this heavily residential suburb provides few local job openings. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the twelve months leading to March 2026, the count of employed persons grew by 3.9% and the labor force expanded by 3.8%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. This trend diverges from Greater Melbourne, where employment grew by 2.1%, the workforce expanded by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate increased by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional perspective on future labor demand patterns in Toorak. These forecasts, looking out five and ten years, are mapped against the local industry profile to project future growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these trajectories vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry-level forecasts onto the employment structure of Toorak indicates local employment could expand by 7.7% over five years and 15.2% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for visualization 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 — 237 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,953 at the 2021 Census → 13,611 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 (206061138). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
