Sales Detail
Keiraville has an estimated 4,122 residents, up from 4,001 at the 2021 Census — a change of 121 people, or 3.0%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. That puts 1,655 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 ABS population updates for the wider region and recent address validations conducted by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Keiraville has an estimated population of 4,122 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 121 residents (3.0%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 4,001 people. The figure is derived from a resident population estimate of 4,121 by AreaSearch, calculated using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 14 validated new addresses added since the Census date. This population size represents a density of 1,655 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical average across national areas tracked by AreaSearch.
Over the last ten years, the suburb of Keiraville has shown steady growth with a compound annual rate of 1.3%, outperforming the SA3 region. Population increases in this locality were majorly driven by overseas migration, which made up approximately 89.0% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements the 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, utilizing 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 areas lack this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government's 2022 release with a 2021 base year are substituted. Age bracket growth trends from these datasets are projected forward for all locations from 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic shifts, significant population expansion is anticipated within the top quartile of non-metropolitan locations in Australia. Specifically, the region is projected to gain 1,063 residents by 2041 based on these combined SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 25.8% over the 16-year period.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
50 new dwellings have been approved in Keiraville over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, broadly in line with 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
Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, the suburb of Keiraville has averaged approximately 10 new home approvals each year, summing to roughly 50 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 9 approvals have been logged. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, an average of 2.3 people moved to the area for every new dwelling built, suggesting solid demand that is likely to support local property values. Newly approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $571,000, indicating that builders are focusing on premium, upscale housing options.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $4.1 million have been registered during this financial year, pointing to a quiet period for business development. In comparison to the Rest of NSW, building activity in the suburb of Keiraville is considerably lower, sitting at 57.0% below the regional per capita average. This lack of new housing options generally bolsters demand and supports price levels for established properties. Construction levels are also below the national average, reflecting the mature character of the area and potentially indicating local planning restrictions. Approved residential projects consist of 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% semi-detached dwellings or apartments. This split toward higher-density options provides lower-cost options and draws interest from downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. With approximately 914 residents for each new dwelling approval, the suburb of Keiraville represents a highly established market. Looking forward, the suburb of Keiraville is projected to add 1,062 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of new housing may fall short of population growth, which could heighten competition among buyers and lead to stronger price appreciation.

2,209 residents of Keiraville are employed, from a labour force of 2,420. Unemployment sits at 8.7%, with participation at 65.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,743, about 91% 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 Keiraville possesses a highly qualified workforce with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 8.7%, and an estimated job growth rate of 0.8% over the previous year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. In March 2026, there were 2,209 employed residents. The unemployment rate is 4.6% higher than the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, highlighting opportunities for labor market improvement, while workforce participation is moderate at 65.6% compared to the regional figure of 60.6%. Census data shows that a significant 35.5% of workers operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
The primary employment fields for local residents are education & training, health care & social assistance, and accommodation & food services. The suburb of Keiraville displays a notable concentration in education & training, which accounts for a share of employment that is 1.8 times higher than the regional benchmark. Conversely, construction jobs are underrepresented, accounting for just 4.4% of local workers compared to 9.7% across Regional NSW. Although local jobs are available, a comparison of the Census working population against local job numbers suggests that many residents travel outside the area for work. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions, the latest 12-month period saw local employment rise by 0.8% while the labor force expanded by 1.3%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This compares to Regional NSW, where employment shrank by 0.9%, the workforce decreased by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.5 percentage points. Employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective hiring trends in the suburb of Keiraville. These five and ten-year projections have been mapped against the local industry mix to estimate future patterns. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local job profile suggests employment for residents could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted calculation 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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,001 at the 2021 Census → 4,122 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 (SAL12093). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
