Sales Detail
Keilor Lodge has an estimated 1,610 residents, down from 1,668 at the 2021 Census — a change of 58 people, or 3.5%. The population has thinned by an average 1.7% a year over five years, slower than 98% of areas nationally. That puts 1,872 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 evaluations of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Keilor Lodge has an estimated population of about 1,610 in May 2026. This represents a drop of 58 residents (3.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the recorded population stood at 1,668 people. The shift is calculated from the resident population of 1,610, which was calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP numbers from June 2025 and 1 validated new address registered since the Census date.
This population level means the suburb of Keilor Lodge has a density of 1,872 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure for locations across the country evaluated by AreaSearch. In recent times, population gains were mostly driven by overseas migration, which made up roughly 71.0% of the total growth. AreaSearch uses the projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, taking 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking these projections, AreaSearch uses the 2023 Victoria State Government Regional and LGA projections, modifying them through weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA down to SA2 scales. The age cohort growth rates from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the period from 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2 projections, future demographic trends for the suburb of Keilor Lodge indicate a population rise just below the median of national statistical areas, with a projected increase of 71 residents by 2041, representing a total growth of 4.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
39 new dwellings have been approved in Keilor Lodge over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 4.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval data allocated from regional statistics indicates that Keilor Lodge has averaged approximately 7 residential property approvals annually. This sums to an estimated 39 dwellings approved over the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, with no approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. Because the local population has been declining, this incoming housing supply has probably matched demand, giving purchasers decent options. Furthermore, commercial development approvals total $8.1 million for the current financial year, which points to a quiet commercial building sector. Keilor Lodge registers 57.0% more building approvals per capita than Greater Melbourne, providing home buyers with plenty of options despite a general slowdown in construction activity lately.
Additionally, all recent building approvals have been for free-standing houses, reinforcing the traditional suburban style of the area and appealing to families who want extra space. The ratio of residents to dwelling approvals is about 270 people per approval, indicating a low-density property market. Projections indicate that Keilor Lodge will add 71 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. Given the current pace of construction, new housing completions should easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially helping the population expand beyond current forecasts.

1,076 residents of Keilor Lodge are employed, from a labour force of 1,101. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 78.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,149, about 71% 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
Keilor Lodge has a highly capable workforce, with a particularly strong representation in the construction sector. The unemployment rate is low at 2.3%, and job growth over the past year is estimated at 2.2%, based on AreaSearch calculations for the statistical area. In March 2026, 1,076 residents were employed. The local unemployment rate is 2.5% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, and the participation rate is significantly higher, standing at 78.8% compared to the metropolitan average of 70.2%. Census figures show that a high proportion of employed residents, 28.9%, worked from home, though this may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The principal employment sectors for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The area displays a strong specialization in construction, employing 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for only 6.8% of the local workforce compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Comparing the census count of the local working population to the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within this residential area are limited. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the surrounding region, employment and the labor force both expanded by 2.2% during the 12 months ending March 2026, which kept the overall unemployment rate stable. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded job growth of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future employment trends. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, jobs are expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will perform differently. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, assuming a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population changes.

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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,668 at the 2021 Census → 1,610 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 (SAL21317). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
