Kennington has an estimated 5,861 residents. That puts 1,458 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Kennington has an estimated population of roughly 5,861, determined through AreaSearch's review of broader regional ABS demographic updates along with newly validated post-Census address records. This represents a contraction of 19 people (0.3%) from the 5,880 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure builds upon an Estimated Resident Population of 5,851 determined from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 68 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Kennington's population density stands at 1,458 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide locations monitored by AreaSearch.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary and virtually solitary catalyst behind recent population additions in the locality. Demographic projections used by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 figures published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base), supplemented where necessary by 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections converted via a weighted aggregation framework to SA2 geography. Furthermore, age-cohort growth rates derived from these aggregated series are mapped across all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Over the longer horizon, the suburb of Kennington is slated to experience population expansion tracking above the median for regional areas nationally, gaining an estimated 1,124 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling, which translates to a 19.0% cumulative rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
94 new dwellings have been approved in Kennington over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 3.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 71% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, 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
ABS residential building approval data compiled by AreaSearch shows that Kennington averages approximately 18 approved dwellings each year, totaling roughly 94 residential approvals across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 14 approved to date in FY-25. Because construction generated an average of only 0.5 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), residential additions have matched or exceeded local demand, bolstering buyer choice and creating room for potential growth beyond baseline forecasts. New residences show a quality-oriented focus, averaging an estimated construction value of $538,000, which sits higher than standard regional benchmarks.
Meanwhile, non-residential activity has seen $17.7 million in approved commercial projects during this financial year, reflecting a moderate degree of commercial development. Per capita building volume in Kennington is approximately half the rate observed across Rest of Vic., placing the suburb in the 54th percentile among areas evaluated across Australia. This relatively restrained construction tempo sits below the Australian average, reflecting the well-established character of the neighborhood and potential planning constraints. Approvals are distributed between detached houses at 71.0% and attached dwellings at 29.0%, maintaining a suburban feel oriented toward family residences with ample space. With roughly 261 people per dwelling approval, the market exhibits a distinctly low-density profile. According to population projections based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Kennington is expected to add 1,114 residents by 2041. If residential construction remains at its present pace, housing supply may fail to keep up with demographic expansion, potentially heightening buyer competition and placing upward pressure on property prices.

2,799 residents of Kennington are employed, from a labour force of 2,913. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 58.0%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 4,860, about 83% 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
Kennington possesses an educated labor force with a solid footprint in key service sectors, an unemployment rate of only 3.9%, and an estimated 1.1% gain in local employment over the previous twelve months, as measured by AreaSearch through aggregated statistical area metrics. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,799, while the local jobless rate sat 0.2% higher than the Regional Vic. benchmark of 3.7%. Labor force participation stood somewhat below standard regional levels (58.0% compared to 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census findings also indicated that a moderate 16.1% of local workers performed their roles from home, a figure that may reflect the influence of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions at the time.
Local employment is predominantly concentrated in health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. Specialization is particularly pronounced within health care & social assistance, where the suburb's employment concentration reaches 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.2% of the local workforce, trailing the 7.5% share seen across Regional Vic.. A comparison of Census figures between locally working individuals and resident workers highlights the largely residential nature of the district, offering limited commercial job opportunities within its own borders. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures compiled by AreaSearch for broader statistical areas indicates that in the year to March 2026, Kennington experienced a 1.1% increase in employment alongside a 0.6% expansion in its labor force, resulting in a 0.5 percentage points drop in the unemployment rate. This diverged from Regional Vic., where employment fell by 0.1%, the workforce shrank by 0.3%, and unemployment declined by 0.2 percentage points. Broader national labor projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future workforce requirements in Kennington over five- and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, total employment is projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though trajectories vary widely across individual industries. Weighting Kennington's current industry composition against these sectoral projections suggests local job counts could expand by 6.8% over five years and 14.4% over ten years (noting this illustrative calculation relies solely on industry weighting and excludes localized population adjustments).

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 — 68 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,880 at the 2021 Census → 5,861 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL21326). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
