This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Kealba has an estimated 3,125 residents, down from 3,226 at the 2021 Census — a change of 101 people, or 3.1%. The population has thinned by an average 1.2% a year over five years, slower than 98% of areas nationally. That puts 1,347 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Kealba has a population calculated at approximately 3,125 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 101 people (3.1%) since the 2021 Census, which counted a population of 3,226 people. The shift is derived from the resident population of 3,125, calculated by AreaSearch through analysing the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) along with 2 validated new addresses since the Census date. This size of population represents a density ratio of 1,347 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical average across locations assessed nationally by AreaSearch.
Demographic expansion for the area was chiefly driven by overseas migration, which made up approximately 77.0% of all population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, AreaSearch employs the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections published in 2023 with modifications made using a method of weighted aggregation of demographic expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead with demographic developments, lower quartile growth of national statistical areas is expected, with the suburb of Kealba projected to grow by 16 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing an increase of 0.5% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Property development in the suburb of Kealba has been very quiet, with only 1 approval recorded over five years. This indicates a fully established neighborhood with few prospects for new builds. The absence of upcoming supply generally supports demand for existing properties and can help maintain price stability. Compared with Greater Melbourne, the suburb of Kealba registers significantly lower construction volumes. This restricted incoming supply generally supports stronger demand and values for existing properties. This is also lower than national benchmarks, showing market maturity and suggesting potential development constraints.

Baptcare Keilor Downs Affordable Housing
Construction of 47 social and affordable housing dwellings, comprised of 23 single-storey and 24 double-storey units, delivered under Victoria's Big Housing Build program. The homes are accessed via a new internal loop road connecting to Thornhill Drive, each with one car space and landscaped front and rear yards. The project is a partnership between Baptcare Affordable Housing and the Victorian Government, part of a combined 95-home commitment across Keilor Downs and Lalor. Civil works are well underway on site.
Sunshine Health, Wellbeing and Education Precinct
The Sunshine Health, Wellbeing and Education Precinct is a 67 hectare health, education and employment precinct in St Albans centred around Sunshine Hospital, Joan Kirner Womens and Childrens Hospital, Ginifer Station and surrounding uses. The Victorian Planning Authority has prepared a draft plan with Brimbank City Council and Victorian Government agencies to guide land use change, new jobs, improved streetscapes and environmental upgrades. The precinct is a key western Melbourne growth area supported by major transport investment and future employment, housing and liveability improvements.
Keilor Central Shopping Centre Redevelopment
Approved staged masterplan and development plan for Keilor Central, enabling a 10-15 year redevelopment of the sub-regional shopping centre. The plan allows about 20,000 sqm of new retail, shops and marketplace space, new laneways and market-style retail, greener public spaces, improved links to Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre, and about 320 dwellings to add mixed-use activity and housing diversity.
Keilor East Railway Station
New railway station at Keilor East as part of the Melbourne Airport Rail Link project, serving over 150,000 residents in the Moonee Valley area. The station will provide direct access to Melbourne Airport and the CBD via the Metro Tunnel. Works on the broader rail link commenced in early 2026 after disputes were resolved, with completion targeted for 2033.
Keilor Downs Urban Design Framework
The Keilor Downs Urban Design Framework, adopted by Brimbank City Council in 2018, sets an integrated vision for the future built form, public realm, and land use of the Keilor Downs Activity Centre. It guides Council's assessment of planning permit applications within the activity centre, covering built form controls, streetscape improvements, and pedestrian connectivity. The framework document was last reviewed and confirmed current as of 6 February 2024.
20 Packard Street Townhouses
Development of 8 two-storey townhouses designed for modern living. The development application has been granted by Brimbank Council. Construction is expected to commence soon.
St Albans Activity Centre Precinct Structure Plan
The St Albans Activity Centre Precinct Structure Plan is Brimbank City Council's adopted strategic framework for the future development of the St Albans Major Activity Centre, the retail, civic and cultural heart of St Albans on the Sunbury rail line in Melbourne's west. The plan guides Council decision making on development proposals, strategic planning policy, public realm improvements and development facilitation, and informs resource allocation for business development, community facilities and arts and cultural activity.The centre supports more than 300 businesses in multiple ownership and, with Sunshine and Sydenham, forms the central activity spine of the municipality. Following Amendment C225brim, the former Clause 21.08 local policy content was translated into the new Planning Policy Framework, with St Albans now identified as a Major Activity Centre under Clause 11.03-1L-02 of the Brimbank Planning Scheme. Implementation continues through related Council plans including the Alfrieda Street Public Realm Masterplan, the Errington Precinct Master Plan, the Go St Albans Action Plan and the St Albans Place Management Framework 2025-2029, which sets a five year direction for safety, amenity, activation, business development and investment attraction across the town centre. St Albans is not one of the 50 centres in the Victorian Government's Train and Tram Zone Activity Centres Program, so Brimbank City Council remains the planning authority for the centre. Council is preparing a new Brimbank Activity Centre Strategy to direct housing growth under Plan for Victoria, which sets a municipal housing target of 59,500 new dwellings.
Keilor Downs Recreation Reserve Upgrade
Upgrade of existing playground and amenities, including improved accessibility and safety, as part of Brimbank City Council's Creating Better Parks program.

Keilor Downs Recreation Reserve is listed as a park in the area.
1,569 residents of Kealba are employed, from a labour force of 1,669. Unemployment sits at 6.0%, with participation at 64.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,744, about 88% 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 suburb of Kealba possesses a qualified workforce with varied industry representation, an unemployment rate of 6.0%, and an estimated 0.7% growth in jobs over the last year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,569 residents are employed, while the unemployment rate is 1.2% higher than Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, and labor force participation is notably lower (64.0% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). Census responses indicate a moderate 23.6% of residents worked from home, although Covid-19 lockdown effects should be kept in mind.
The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The suburb of Kealba displays a highly concentrated specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, with an employment share that is 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are under-represented, accounting for only 5.9% of the workforce in the suburb of Kealba compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. The suburb of Kealba appears to have few local employment options, as shown by the comparison of Census working population to resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, the 12-month period experienced an employment increase of 0.7% alongside a labour force expansion of 0.8%, which left unemployment virtually unchanged. In comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded employment expansion of 2.1% and labour force growth of 2.3%, with a 0.2 percentage point increase. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can provide additional perspective on potential future demand in the suburb of Kealba. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion rates vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment mix in the suburb of Kealba suggests local jobs should rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.5% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,226 at the 2021 Census → 3,125 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 (SAL21312). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
