Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Kealy has an estimated population of around 2,230 residents, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside 651 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. This count indicates a rise of 1,111 people (99.3%) compared to the 1,119 people recorded at the 2021 Census. The updated total is derived from an Estimated Resident Population figure of 2,229 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP update and post-Census address validation. The current population translates to a density ratio of 345 persons per square kilometer, affording ample space per resident and capacity for continued residential expansion.
Achieving 99.3% growth since the 2021 census, the suburb of Kealy outpaced both the Rest of WA and the national average (9.5%), ranking among the foremost growth areas in the region. This expansion was predominantly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 83.0% of recent population additions. Demographic projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 (based on 2022 benchmarks) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations, supplemented by cohort-specific growth rates from the 2023 Greater Capital Region release (using 2022 data) for remaining areas and post-2032 modeling. Continuing these broader demographic patterns, the suburb of Kealy is projected to experience substantial population growth placing it in the top quartile of regional locations across Australia. Aggregated SA2-level projections anticipate that the suburb of Kealy will expand by 685 persons by 2041, representing a total gain of 30.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
209 new dwellings have been approved in Kealy over the past five years, an average of 41 a year. That places the area in the 96th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 18 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 61 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 95, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that Kealy has averaged around 41 dwellings authorized annually, reaching an estimated total of 209 homes across the previous 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 95 approvals have already been registered. With an average influx of 4 new residents per year for every home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), housing demand is substantially outpacing new supply, generating upward pressure on property prices and intensifying buyer competition. New homes reflect an average expected construction cost of $538,000, slightly above regional averages and pointing toward higher-quality residential projects.
In addition, $5.1 million in commercial approvals have been recorded during this financial year, underscoring the area's predominantly residential focus. Per capita residential building activity in Kealy is 236.0% higher than in the Rest of WA, providing prospective purchasers with greater housing variety. This elevated level of construction exceeds the national average by a wide margin, demonstrating strong interest from residential developers. Recent building activity is heavily focused on detached houses at 93.0%, with medium and high-density housing comprising 7.0%, preserving the low-density neighborhood character designed for families seeking generous living space. With roughly 27 people per dwelling approval, the locality exhibits key traits of an active growth market. Demographic forecasts project that Kealy will add 684 residents through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. At prevailing construction rates, upcoming residential supply is well positioned to accommodate this demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current demographic forecasts.

1,322 residents of Kealy are employed, from a labour force of 1,359. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 80.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 1,883, about 84% 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
Kealy supports a balanced workforce across blue-collar and white-collar roles, featuring strong representation in hospitality and tourism, an unemployment rate of 2.7%, and estimated annual employment growth of 11.6% according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, 1,322 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.8% below the Regional WA benchmark of 3.5%. Labor force participation is exceptionally high at 80.5%, compared to 65.4% across Regional WA. According to Census records, 4.4% of working residents worked from home, though this was recorded during Covid-19 restrictions. The leading employment sectors among residents are accommodation & food, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
Local workforce concentration is particularly prominent in accommodation & food, where employment share is 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for 3.8% of local workers, compared with 9.3% across the region. Comparisons between the resident workforce and Census working population figures suggest that local employment opportunities within the immediate area remain limited. According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM data over the 12 months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 11.6% while the labor force grew by 11.5%, leaving unemployment virtually unchanged. Over the same timeframe, Regional WA recorded an employment drop of 0.1%, a 0.3% rise in the labor force, and a 0.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. Nationwide projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment trends. These five and ten-year forecasts indicate national workforce growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across industries. Applying these sector-specific trajectories to the local occupational structure indicates that employment for Kealy residents is expected to rise by 5.6% over five years and 12.0% over ten years (calculated as an illustrative weighting exercise without incorporating 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 — 651 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,119 at the 2021 Census → 2,230 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.
