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
Kaleen has an estimated 7,778 residents, up from 7,672 at the 2021 Census — a change of 106 people, or 1.4%. That puts 1,290 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 by AreaSearch, the resident count of Kaleen stands at approximately 7,778 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 106 people (1.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 7,672 people. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 7,776 alongside records of validated new addresses since the census date. Such a population level results in a density of 1,289 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical density found across the country. The suburb's 1.4% post-census growth rate is within 2.8 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (4.2%), indicating solid local demand.
Recent population gains were mostly driven by overseas migration, which was responsible for about 88.7% of the total increase. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for SA2 regions. For locations lacking this coverage, and for any timeframe past 2032, growth rates by age bracket from ACT Government SA2 projections with a 2022 baseline are applied. Future demographic trends under this approach point to an overall reduction in residents, with the population set to contract by 517 persons by 2041. Despite this overall trend, expansion is anticipated in select cohorts, particularly the group aged 85 and over, which is forecast to grow by 186 people. Details regarding age demographics are available in the corresponding section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
107 new dwellings have been approved in Kaleen over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 2.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, 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
Around 21 residential building approvals have been logged annually in Kaleen, totaling 107 residential dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 18 during FY-26 so far. With an average of 1.5 new residents added per new home over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand and supply have remained generally balanced, supporting stable conditions, though this ratio rose to 3.5 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing to rising demand and a possible shortage of stock. The construction value of these development projects averages $265,000.
Additionally, commercial building approvals reached $4.5 million during the current financial year, showing that commercial construction remains a minor focus. Compared against the wider Australian Capital Territory, the volume of construction in Kaleen is very low (51.0% below regional average per person). This constrained supply of new builds generally underpins demand and pricing for existing properties. This volume is also below the national benchmark, showing the mature nature of the suburb and suggesting possible planning limits. New builds consist of 75.0% detached dwellings and 25.0% townhouses or apartments, which helps protect the traditional suburban feel of the neighborhood with spacious family housing options. This marks a clear departure from the current housing mix (currently 91.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of vacant land alongside changing preferences and a demand for varied, affordable housing. With approximately 802 people per approval, Kaleen exhibits the traits of an established suburb. Given that future demographic forecasts indicate stable or shrinking numbers, Kaleen is likely to experience less pressure on housing demand, which should benefit buyers.

Kaleen is listed by NBN Co for full-fibre eligibility by 2025, with progressive construction and service activation occurring as orders are placed with retail providers.
3,905 residents of Kaleen are employed, from a labour force of 4,117. Unemployment sits at 5.1%, with participation at 63.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,228, about 80% 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 is characterized by high levels of education, strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 5.1%, and steady employment numbers over the past year. As of March 2026, there are 3,905 employed residents, while the unemployment rate sits 1.1% above the Australian Capital Territory average of 4.1%, and participation in the labour force is considerably lower (63.9% compared to Australian Capital Territory's 70.8%). Census data shows that a minor 12.2% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 restrictions. Local employment is heavily weighted toward public administration & safety, professional & technical, and education & training.
The suburb has a notable concentration in construction, where employment is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, public administration & safety is less prominent locally, accounting for 26.2% of the workforce compared to 30.4% across the Australian Capital Territory. This mostly residential neighborhood appears to have limited local jobs, as shown by comparing the count of resident workers against the local job count from the Census. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, the number of employed people rose by 0.1% while the labour force expanded by 1.0%, leading to a 0.9 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. In comparison, the wider Australian Capital Territory recorded a 0.3% rise in employment, a 1.1% increase in the labour force, and a 0.7 percentage point increase in unemployment. Employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends in Kaleen. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While employment nationally is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests Kaleen's workforce needs could grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustration and 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,672 at the 2021 Census → 7,778 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.
