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 Vermont

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Vermont has an estimated 11,435 residents, up from 10,993 at the 2021 Census — a change of 442 people, or 4.0%. That puts 2,481 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 research from AreaSearch, the resident count in Vermont stands at approximately 11,435 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 442 people (4.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 10,993 people. This demographic movement is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,435 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 42 validated new addresses registered following the Census date. With these numbers, the local density reaches 2,480 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the upper quartile among all territories evaluated nationally by AreaSearch.

Outpacing the broader SA4 region (3.9%), Vermont's 4.0% expansion since the 2021 census established it as a regional growth frontrunner. Incoming overseas migration served as the primary catalyst for these gains, effectively acting as the exclusive driver of local population increases over recent times. SA2 projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as their baseline, are integrated into AreaSearch models. Where specific SA2 locations lack direct coverage from this release, figures are drawn from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA projections, applying weighted aggregation techniques to step LGA growth down to SA2 zones. Between 2032 and 2041, age-cohort growth rates derived via these aggregations are similarly distributed across all districts. Anticipated future expansion sits marginally under the national median, with projections indicating Vermont will add 1,102 persons by 2041 based on current annual ERP metrics, translating to an overall growth rate of 9.6% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Vermont

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

175 new dwellings have been approved in Vermont over the past five years, an average of 35 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 71% 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 permissions in Vermont average approximately 35 dwellings each year, totaling 175 homes sanctioned during the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same period of the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), the area recorded an average influx of just 0.6 people per year for every newly built residence, demonstrating that residential construction is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand; this broadens options for prospective purchasers and could facilitate demographic increases beyond current projections. Furthermore, incoming residential projects exhibit an average value of $619,000, eclipsing regional benchmarks and highlighting an emphasis on higher-end builds.

Alongside this, non-residential building activity remains modest, with $2.4 million recorded in commercial approvals for the current financial year. Per capita building volumes in Vermont track 13.0% below the Greater Melbourne benchmark and rank at the 41st percentile across Australia, a factor that somewhat restricts choices for incoming buyers while bolstering interest in existing housing stock. These below-average national volumes highlight the suburb's established character and suggest potential regulatory or land constraints. The mix of incoming housing comprises 71.0% detached houses and 29.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the neighborhood's suburban fabric and offering family-friendly options for those prioritizing living space. Reflecting a well-established market structure, the suburb registers roughly 364 people per approval. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, demographic modeling projects Vermont to add 1,102 residents leading up to 2041. Although local construction activity continues to match forward projections, incoming buyers could encounter rising market competition as population numbers climb.

Frequently Asked Questions - Development

How many dwelling approvals have occurred in the Vermont SA2 recently?
Dwelling approval activity in the the Vermont SA2 area has seen 63 residential approvals over the past two financial years, based on AreaSearch's SA2 aggregation method. The Vermont SA2's current population of 11,435 has been supported by 35 approvals on average over recent years.
How does the Vermont SA2's development activity compare to the broader region?

Is the Vermont SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 1,102 people by 2041, around 551 new dwellings will be necessary. Recent approval levels appear broadly sufficient to meet these forecasts, considering the census average of 2.0 persons per dwelling.
What has been the trend in development approvals over the past five years in the Vermont SA2?
Looking at development activity over the past five years, the Vermont SA2's approval levels have been below the yearly average of 35, indicating a recent decline in approval activity.
How many dwellings will be needed to accommodate future population growth in the Vermont SA2?

Over the past five years, the population in the Vermont SA2 has grown by approximately 1,891 people, while 175 residential approvals were recorded. This equates to a ratio of 10.8 people added for each new dwelling approval. This high ratio suggests strong population growth relative to housing supply, potentially indicating unmet housing demand.
Are there opportunities for residential developers in the Vermont SA2?
With dwelling approval activity running at an average of 35 approvals per year and a population of 11,435, the market appears to be reasonably balanced between supply and demand, presenting moderate opportunities for well-positioned developments. With the population expected to increase by 1,102 people by 2041, around 551 new dwellings will be necessary. Current approval trends may be insufficient to meet forecast demand, indicating strong development opportunities.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 12 applications for Vermont, 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. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Vermont

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

5,854 residents of Vermont are employed, from a labour force of 6,013. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 65.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,893, about 87% 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

Vermont features a well-educated labor force characterized by a strong presence in professional services, a low unemployment rate of 2.6%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.4% during the previous year. By March 2026, there were 5,854 individuals employed, with an unemployment rate of 2.1% that sits below Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, while workforce participation stands at 65.5%, slightly below the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 70.1%. Census data indicates that 38.5% of residents worked from home, although the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account. Local employment is predominantly concentrated within health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical services.

A standout concentration is evident in education & training, which holds a resident job share 1.2 times above the wider regional rate. Conversely, the transport, postal & warehousing sector is less visible locally, employing just 2.9% of the suburb's working population relative to 5.2% across Greater Melbourne. Given the disparity between the local working population and resident labor force counted at the Census, this largely residential district provides relatively few on-site workplace opportunities. Analysis conducted by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS figures indicates that between the start of the year and March 2026, employment rose by 1.4% while the labour force grew by 1.8%, resulting in an upward shift of the unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1% and labour force expansion of 2.3%, alongside a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. Insights regarding potential future demand in Vermont can be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts dated Mar-26. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid onto Vermont's local employment structure to project growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over a five-year span and 13.7% over a ten-year span, though these figures vary considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to Vermont's current employment composition, the area is expected to see employment rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, with the understanding that this calculation represents a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized population 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 — 42 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,993 at the 2021 Census → 11,435 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 (211041272). 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 Vermont 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 Vermont 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 Vermont 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
