Detail
Based on evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Kensington Park has an estimated population of 3,244 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 617 people (23.5%) from the 2,627 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This change is calculated from a resident population of 3,241, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, combined with an additional 2 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level translates to a density ratio of 2,949 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb of Kensington Park in the top quartile of national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
The 23.5% growth rate of the suburb of Kensington Park since the 2021 Census outperformed the SA3 area (5.0%) and the state, making it a regional growth leader. This population expansion was mostly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 94.0% of all population gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 areas without this data, and for any years after 2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, published in 2023 and utilizing 2021 data, are applied with adjustments made via weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Based on these projected demographic trends, the suburb of Kensington Park is anticipated to experience population growth just below the median of statistical areas analyzed by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Kensington Park expected to add 189 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 5.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Kensington Park over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 34, 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area data, Kensington Park has recorded an average of approximately 12 new dwelling approvals annually, summing to an estimated 61 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26, 32 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of 9.6 new residents per year for each home constructed over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, which generally drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition. The new homes carry an average value of $838,000, showing that developers are focusing on higher-end properties in the premium market segment.
Furthermore, $7.0 million in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, showing a minor focus on commercial development. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Kensington Park has about three-quarters the rate of new dwelling approvals per person. It ranks in the 72nd percentile of areas analyzed nationally, although construction activity has risen in recent times. Recent construction consists of 80.0% detached dwellings and 20.0% townhouses or apartments, which preserves the traditional suburban feel of the area with a focus on spacious family homes. At approximately 176 people per approval, Kensington Park shows the characteristics of a developing area. Population forecasts suggest Kensington Park will add 186 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current building rates, the supply of new housing is expected to comfortably satisfy demand, establishing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth above current population forecasts.

1,822 residents of Kensington Park are employed, from a labour force of 1,877. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 67.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% 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. The working-day population is estimated at 2,751, about 85% 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
Kensington Park features a highly educated workforce with a significant proportion of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and an estimated job growth of 8.6% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 1,822 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.9% lower than the Greater Adelaide rate of 3.8%. Workforce participation matches the Greater Adelaide average of 66.6%. Census data shows that a moderate 15.3% of residents worked from home, though this may reflect the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns.
Employment for residents is concentrated in health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical fields. The area exhibits a strong concentration in professional & technical services, with an employment share 1.8 times the regional average. Conversely, construction accounts for only 5.0% of local jobs, below the Greater Adelaide level of 8.7%. Because the area is mostly residential, local employment opportunities appear limited, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data compiled from wider statistical areas, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 8.6% and the labour force expand by 8.4%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. This compares to Greater Adelaide, where employment increased by 4.2%, the labour force grew by 4.0%, and unemployment fell by 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Kensington Park. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests Kensington Park employment will grow by 7.2% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not account for local population 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,627 at the 2021 Census → 3,244 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.
