Kensington Park has an estimated 3,243 residents, up from 2,627 at the 2021 Census — a change of 616 people, or 23.4%. Growth has averaged 4.0% a year over five years, faster than 92% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 94.0% of that increase. That puts 2,948 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions and post-Census address validations, the suburb of Kensington Park has an estimated tally of 3,243 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 616 people (23.4%) relative to the 2,627 people counted in the 2021 Census. Such figures stem from an estimated resident population of 3,239 determined by AreaSearch following the ABS's recent ERP release (June 2025), alongside 2 validated new addresses recorded after the Census. With 2,948 persons per square kilometer, the suburb ranks in the top quartile of Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch for demographic density.
Outpacing both the wider state and the SA3 area (5.0%), the suburb of Kensington Park's 23.4% expansion firmly establishes it as a regional growth frontrunner. Incoming overseas migration served as the principal catalyst for these demographic gains, generating roughly 94.0% of the recent population additions. Population projections for the suburb of Kensington Park draw upon ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 figures published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year). Where SA2 coverage is unavailable or dates extend beyond 2032, models incorporate the 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA projections (based on 2021 numbers), adjusting data down to SA2 zones through weighted growth aggregation. Anticipated demographic trends point toward a local growth rate marginally below the Australian median, with the suburb of Kensington Park projected to add 203 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates, equating to an overall increase of 6.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
60 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 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, 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
AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential building approvals apportioned from statistical divisions indicates that Kensington Park has maintained an average building rate of approximately 12 new dwellings annually, adding up to an estimated 60 homes across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 35 approvals have been lodged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the area added an average of 6.2 new residents per completed residence each year, creating a clear supply-demand imbalance that exerts upward pressure on residential real estate prices while intensifying buyer competition. Construction activity demonstrates a notable focus on the luxury market, with new dwellings recording an average expected construction cost of $968,000.
Furthermore, $7.0 million in commercial building approvals have been logged during this financial year, underlining that local development remains overwhelmingly residential. On a per-capita basis, building activity in Kensington Park aligns closely with Greater Adelaide averages, reinforcing general market equilibrium in line with regional trends. Recent residential construction is dominated by detached houses (78.0%), with townhouses or apartments comprising the remaining 22.0%, thereby preserving the traditional suburban landscape tailored to families seeking spacious living. Logging roughly 89 people per dwelling approval, Kensington Park exhibits traits typical of an expanding residential zone. Demographic projections suggest Kensington Park will add 199 residents leading up to 2041, relative to AreaSearch's most recent quarterly assessment. Judging by prevailing building volumes, future residential delivery is well placed to satisfy buyer demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for population gains that outstrip current expectations.

1,817 residents of Kensington Park are employed, from a labour force of 1,873. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 66.9%. 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 2,752, 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
Local workforce figures compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area collections reveal that Kensington Park possesses a highly educated labor pool, notable white-collar professional strength, an unemployment rate of only 3.0%, and annual employment expansion estimated at 8.5%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,817, with the local jobless rate tracking 0.8% below the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide, while the participation rate mirrors the broader metropolitan benchmark of 66.4%. Census figures also indicate that 15.3% of workers were based at home, though this metric was recorded under Covid-19 lockdown circumstances.
Resident workers are primarily concentrated across health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical disciplines. Specialization is particularly pronounced in professional & technical services, where local participation reaches 1.8 times regional averages. Conversely, building trades are comparatively sparse, engaging only 5.0% of local workers compared to 8.7% across Greater Adelaide. The residential character of Kensington Park offers relatively few jobs within its borders, as evidenced by the disparity between the local working population and resident employee numbers. Synthesizing SALM and ABS statistical releases over a 12-month window shows Kensington Park's workforce and total employment expanding by an identical 8.5%, keeping the local unemployment rate steady. In contrast, Greater Adelaide recorded employment growth of 4.2%, a 4.0% expansion in its labor force, and a 0.2 percentage points reduction in unemployment. For forward projections, Jobs and Skills Australia's nationwide modeling from Mar-26 offers context on future workforce trajectories. While overall Australian jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, prospects diverge across individual sectors. Applying these industry growth expectations to the local workforce structure indicates Kensington Park's employment base could expand by 7.2% across five years and 14.7% across ten years (a basic weighted projection provided for context without factoring in local demographic 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,627 at the 2021 Census → 3,243 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 (SAL40679). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
