Kellyville has an estimated 28,709 residents, up from 27,011 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,698 people, or 6.3%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. 557 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 51.0% of that increase. That puts 2,994 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
The suburb of Kellyville now has an estimated population of 28,709 as of May 2026, according to analysis of ABS population updates and new addresses validated by AreaSearch. This figure represents a rise of 1,698 individuals, which corresponds to a 6.3% increase since the 2021 Census recorded 27,011 people. The updated count is derived from a resident population of 28,615, as determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025), plus an extra 557 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level results in a density ratio of 2,993 persons per square kilometer, positioning the area in the upper quartile compared to national locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 6.3% growth since the 2021 census surpassed the SA3 area, which grew by 5.3%, establishing the suburb as a leading growth location in the region. Overseas migration was the main driver of population expansion, accounting for approximately 51.0% of total gains in recent periods, while interstate migration and natural growth also contributed positively to the overall increase. AreaSearch incorporates future projections for each SA2 district from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as a baseline year with data published in 2024. For SA2 territories where this is unavailable, projections from the NSW Government published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline are substituted instead. The age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are likewise utilized for the decade spanning 2032 to 2041. Projecting forward, the suburb of Kellyville is expected to undergo substantial population expansion, ranking in the top quartile of all areas evaluated by AreaSearch, with forecasts predicting a gain of 8,112 residents by 2041 using pooled SA2 projections, which equates to an overall growth rate of 27.9% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
575 new dwellings have been approved in Kellyville over the past five years, an average of 115 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 109 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 36% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 266, 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
According to building approval figures from the ABS allocated to localized statistical divisions, the suburb of Kellyville has averaged approximately 115 residential approvals annually, with a total of 575 homes authorized over the recent 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and an additional 244 approved during FY-26 so far. Because the area has seen an average of 3.7 new residents for each finished dwelling over those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping incoming supply, which typically puts upward pressure on prices and intensifies buyer competition.
Concurrently, the average estimated build cost for these approvals sits at $692,000, pointing to a focus by developers on higher-end, premium housing. Commercial project approvals for this financial year stand at $2.2 million, which indicates a low level of business-related construction. Relative to the broader Greater Sydney area, construction activity in the suburb of Kellyville is notably subdued, tracking 55.0% below the metropolitan per-capita average. This constrained pipeline of new stock generally acts to bolster demand and values for existing properties. Approvals for new residential sites comprise 36.0% detached houses and 64.0% multi-unit or attached dwellings. This emphasis on higher-density configurations introduces more attainable price points and caters to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct shift from the established property mix, which currently consists of 88.0% houses, indicating a decreasing supply of vacant land alongside changing consumer preferences and constraints on affordability. There are roughly 400 residents for every single housing approval, which is characteristic of a mature, built-out area. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Kellyville will add 8,018 residents up to the year 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations by AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing may not keep pace with this influx, potentially driving up competition among buyers and supporting price appreciation.

15,997 residents of Kellyville are employed, from a labour force of 16,472. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 71.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 22,877, about 80% 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 Kellyville has a highly qualified local workforce, featuring a strong contingent of professionals and an exceptionally low unemployment rate of 2.9%, according to aggregated regional statistics from AreaSearch. As of March 2026, there are 15,997 residents holding jobs, which keeps the local jobless rate 1.2% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%. Workforce participation is solid, sitting at 71.8% compared to the Greater Sydney benchmark of 69.1%. Census records show that a substantial 53.0% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & scientific services, and education & training. There is a particularly high concentration of workers in finance & insurance, with local employment in this sector reaching 1.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing is underrepresented, employing 3.3% of workers compared to the metropolitan average of 5.3%. The area is overwhelmingly residential and offers a limited number of local jobs, as highlighted by comparing the number of locally employed workers with the count of resident workers in the Census. According to an AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures compiled from larger statistical regions, the workforce shrank by 0.7% and job numbers fell by 0.8% between the years leading up to March 2026, which pushed unemployment up by 0.1 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney saw employment and labour force both grow by 1.9%, while unemployment dropped slightly. For additional context on likely future demand in Kellyville, one may review Jobs and Skills Australia’s national employment projections published May-25. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid onto Kellyville’s job mix to project trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies widely across sectors. When these sectoral growth rates are applied to Kellyville’s current employment composition, local jobs are projected to rise by 6.9% over five years and by 14.0% over ten years. This estimate relies on a straightforward weighting method for demonstration only and ignores local 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 — 557 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (27,011 at the 2021 Census → 28,709 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 (SAL12096). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
