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.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, Figtree - Keiraville maintains a resident count of approximately 23,797 according to assessments by AreaSearch. In comparison to the 2021 Census tally of 22,773 people, this represents an expansion of 1,024 people (4.5%). The figure builds upon the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 23,776 alongside 75 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density stands at 1,265 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Over the preceding ten years, Figtree - Keiraville exhibited stable expansion with a 1.0% compound annual growth rate, surpassing the broader SA3 area.
Inbound overseas migration formed the primary catalyst for demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 93.6% of recent net population additions. Projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 areas, supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 modeling (released in 2022 using 2021 as a base year) wherever coverage requires. Age-cohort expansion metrics derived from these frameworks are applied across all districts for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the locality is projected to record substantial demographic expansion placing it in the highest quartile among non-metropolitan areas nationally, with total population expected to increase by 6,627 persons to 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 27.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
297 new dwellings have been approved in Figtree - Keiraville over the past five years, an average of 59 a year. That places the area in the 62nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 60 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 48% 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 consents in Figtree - Keiraville have averaged roughly 59 dwellings per year, totaling 297 homes approved across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). With approximately 3.1 new residents per year arriving per completed home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), localized housing requirements are substantially exceeding supply, applying standard upward pressure on property values and buyer competition. Furthermore, the mean construction value for new dwellings is $515,000, tracking slightly above regional norms and pointing to premium builds, while $18.6 million in commercial approvals lodged this financial year underlines ongoing commercial development.
Building activity across Figtree - Keiraville sits 60.0% below regional average per person compared to Rest of NSW, a dynamic that typically bolsters pricing and competition across existing stock. This subdued volume also falls short of the national benchmark, reflecting an established urban landscape and possible local planning constraints. Recent residential building approvals consist of 48.0% detached houses alongside 52.0% townhouses or apartments, delivering medium-density options suitable for first-home purchasers, downsizers, and investors. This delivery mix departs notably from the current built environment (where houses represent 79.0%), highlighting restricted greenfield opportunities while catering to evolving household sizes and affordability requirements, with an approval density of around 379 people per approval underscoring a mature market. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Figtree - Keiraville is on track to expand by 6,606 residents by 2041. If future building completions stay at current levels, residential supply will lag demographic gains, likely heightening market demand and reinforcing property price appreciation.

Figtree Oval Recreation Master Plan
Wollongong City Council has developed a Recreation Master Plan for Figtree Oval to establish the site as a community recreational hub. The plan encompasses upgrades to two playing fields (cricket and AFL), multipurpose courts for netball, basketball and soccer, replacement of the children's playground with all-abilities equipment, passive recreation areas, new pedestrian connections to Westfield and along Allan's Creek, additional car parking, and improved dog off-leash areas. Implementation is staged over a 10-year period subject to budget allocation.New amenities construction at Figtree Oval is confirmed within Council's Draft Delivery Program 2025-2029, with flood mitigation elements for Allan's Creek and Byarong Creek catchments subject to a separate flood study prior to finalisation.
The Avenue Debris Control Structure
Construction of a reinforced concrete debris control structure with steel bollards and an access ramp in Byarong Creek, immediately upstream of The Avenue. This infrastructure is a key recommendation of the Allans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, designed to intercept natural and urban debris before it enters culverts. By preventing blockages during severe weather events, the project significantly reduces flood risks for adjacent properties and infrastructure near Figtree Bowling Club.
Keira Village Park Facilities Upgrade
Redevelopment and modernization of community sports facilities at Keira Village Park by Wollongong City Council and Keira Cricket Club. The project entails the demolition of the old 3-lane cricket net setup and construction of a new 5-lane cricket practice net facility featuring internal retractable netting, concrete slab base, and associated site works.
12,751 residents of Figtree - Keiraville are employed, from a labour force of 13,345. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 66.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 20,549, about 86% 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 Figtree - Keiraville is characterized by high educational attainment and strong participation across essential services, featuring an unemployment rate of 4.5% alongside a 2.5% employment increase over the past twelve months. As of March 2026, 12,751 residents are gainfully employed. The local jobless rate runs 0.3% above the Regional NSW figure of 4.1%, while overall participation sits notably higher at 66.9% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Furthermore, 33.6% of local workers reported working from home during the Census, an outcome influenced in part by prevailing Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and accommodation & food. In particular, the area displays a notable concentration in education & training, where local employment share reaches 1.5 times the regional level. Conversely, primary industries have minimal representation, with agriculture, forestry & fishing making up 0.2% of jobs locally against 5.3% across the wider region. Given its predominantly residential footprint, the district presents limited internal employment opportunities based on the ratio of local Census workers to resident labor force. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month period, local employment expanded by 2.5% while the overall labour force rose by 2.7%, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Regional NSW saw a 0.9% reduction in employment, a 0.4% decline in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage points rise in unemployment. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26 provide context for future regional labor demand across five- and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories differ substantially by industry. Applying these sector-specific growth rates to the resident industry profile suggests local employment could expand by 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized demographic 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 — 75 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (22,773 at the 2021 Census → 23,797 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.
