Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population revisions and post-Census address verification, the suburb of Kembla Grange has reached approximately 3,276 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,824 people (125.6%) from the 1,452 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This updated figure builds upon the June 2025 ABS ERP figures alongside 721 validated new addresses registered following the Census benchmark. With a population density of 226 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Kembla Grange offers ample physical space alongside considerable capacity for future expansion.
The suburb of Kembla Grange outpaced both the Rest of NSW (5.1%) and the wider SA3 region with its 125.6% growth rate, standing out as a premier regional growth corridor. Population expansion was predominantly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for around 77.0% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections generated by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 (using 2022 as baseline) or, where unavailable, NSW State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2022 (using 2021 as baseline), applying age-cohort growth rates across all areas between 2032 and 2041. Looking ahead, the suburb of Kembla Grange ranks in the upper 10 percent of regional localities across the country for long-term population expansion, with SA2 aggregations pointing to an increase of 2,959 persons by 2041, which equates to a 90.3% surge across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
509 new dwellings have been approved in Kembla Grange over the past five years, an average of 101 a year. That places the area in the 98th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 31 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 65 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 58% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 116, 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
Statistical evaluations of ABS building consent records by AreaSearch indicate that annual residential approvals in Kembla Grange average approximately 101 dwellings, totaling roughly 509 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) with 116 recorded to date in FY-25. Because an average of 6.5 new residents have moved in per newly built home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), building activity is falling well short of inbound demand, elevating buyer competition and placing upward pressure on property prices while residential construction averages an anticipated build cost of $435,000 per dwelling.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $4.1 million this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area. On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Kembla Grange sit 326.0% above the benchmark for the Rest of NSW, ensuring substantial options for prospective buyers and demonstrating strong builder and developer appetite. Current project approvals comprise 58.0% standalone houses and 42.0% attached dwellings, introducing a diverse array of medium-density formats that span broad price points from larger residences to streamlined dwellings. This marks a clear evolution from existing residential stock (currently 80.0% houses), driven by limited land availability, evolving buyer preferences, and demand for varied price points. A ratio of roughly 21 people per approval underscores an actively expanding suburban market. Longer-term demographic projections indicate Kembla Grange is on track to add 2,958 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly baseline. Should current construction volumes be maintained, future residential development will adequately absorb projected resident demand, creating favorable market conditions for purchasers and establishing capacity for growth beyond existing demographic forecasts.

1,970 residents of Kembla Grange are employed, from a labour force of 2,047. Unemployment sits at 3.7%, with participation at 85.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Kembla Grange maintains an experienced and capable labour pool with notable concentrations in core community services, recording an unemployment rate of 3.7% and annual employment gains estimated at 14.0% according to AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed locals numbered 1,970, holding the local jobless rate 0.4% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while economic participation reached an elevated 85.5% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census findings showed 27.0% of local workers operated from home, an observation potentially influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Major employers of local residents comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, along with education & training.
Local industry concentration is particularly pronounced within finance & insurance, where resident employment is 2.7 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.5% of employed locals relative to 5.3% across the wider region. While local jobs exist within the area, Census workplace counts indicate a significant proportion of resident workers travel outside the suburb for their employment. Examining SALM and ABS statistical data over the 12 months to March 2026, AreaSearch reports that local jobs expanded by 14.0% while the available workforce grew by 14.4%, edging the unemployment rate up by 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Regional NSW observed a 0.9% drop in jobs, a 0.4% reduction in the labour force, and a 0.5 percentage points increase in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future workforce requirements in Kembla Grange over five and ten-year horizons against resident occupation patterns. Nationally, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying by sector; applying these industry trends to the resident employment profile indicates expected local growth of 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (representing an unadjusted industry-weighted projection that excludes local population shifts).

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 — 721 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,452 at the 2021 Census → 3,276 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.
