Sales Detail
Keysborough has an estimated 32,010 residents, up from 30,018 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,992 people, or 6.6%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. 327 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 75.0% of that increase. That puts 1,475 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS population statistics for the surrounding region and validation of new addresses since the Census indicates the population of the suburb of Keysborough is approximately 32,010 as of May 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census population of 30,018, this represents a growth of 1,992 people (6.6%). This variation is deduced from the estimated resident population of 31,977, which AreaSearch calculated from the ABS June 2025 ERP release and 327 validated new addresses added since the Census. With this population level, the density ratio reaches 1,475 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the national average monitored by AreaSearch.
Over the last ten years, the suburb of Keysborough has experienced stable development patterns with a compound annual growth rate of 2.3%, exceeding the rate of the SA3 region. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for approximately 75.0% of the total population gains in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year are applied by AreaSearch to each SA2 location. For SA2 areas lacking this coverage, projections are sourced from the 2023 Victoria State Government Regional and LGA data, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method of population increases from the LGA level to SA2. Growth rates by age brackets from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, a substantial population expansion is expected in the top quarter of statistical areas assessed by AreaSearch, with projections indicating the suburb of Keysborough will grow by 7,519 residents to 2041, which represents a total rise of 23.4% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
680 new dwellings have been approved in Keysborough over the past five years, an average of 136 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 135 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 33% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 34, well below 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 evaluations of building approvals from the ABS indicate that approximately 136 new residences have been approved annually in the locality. This represents an estimated 680 approved homes over the past 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, alongside 32 approvals recorded during the current FY-26. An average of 2.5 individuals per year relocated to the locality for every new home built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating healthy demand that helps sustain property valuations. The average estimated construction cost for these new residences stands at $688,000, which indicates developers are focusing on higher-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $3.5 million this financial year, which reinforces the residential nature of the area. Relative to Greater Melbourne, construction activity in the locality is somewhat high, registering at 19.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which provides buyers with options while supporting existing valuations, even though building volumes have slowed down in recent years. Detached houses account for 33.0% of the new building activity, while apartments and townhouses make up 67.0%. Concentrating on denser housing formats offers more accessible price points for buyers and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the current housing stock, which consists of 90.0% houses, indicating a decreasing supply of buildable land and adapting to changing buyer preferences and housing affordability challenges. With approximately 716 people per approval, the area displays the characteristics of a mature, built-out community. Demographic projections suggest the locality is set to add 7,484 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current home construction is progressing at a rate that is reasonably aligned with this forecast growth, though purchasers may face increasing competition as the number of residents rises.

17,476 residents of Keysborough are employed, from a labour force of 18,134. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 68.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 local workforce is characterized by high levels of education, with strong representations in the industrial and manufacturing sectors. The unemployment rate is low at 3.6%, and estimated employment growth reached 4.6% over the past year, according to AreaSearch data compiled for the statistical area. In March 2026, there were 17,476 employed residents, with an unemployment rate 1.1% lower than the 4.8% recorded across Greater Melbourne, while labor force participation was close to the Greater Melbourne average of 70.2%. Census data indicates that a moderate 21.0% of residents worked from home, though this figure may have been affected by COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
Local residents are predominantly employed in manufacturing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The workforce shows a notable concentration in manufacturing, with an employment share that is 2.2 times the average across the region. Conversely, education & training accounts for only 5.9% of local employment, which is lower than the 9.2% average for Greater Melbourne. Although there are local jobs available, the ratio of Census workers to the local population indicates that a significant number of residents commute to other districts for work. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the broader area, employment grew by 4.6% and the labor force expanded by 4.5% during the 12 months ending March 2026, with the unemployment rate remaining virtually unchanged. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% rise in employment and a 2.3% increase in the labor force, alongside a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be understood further by examining Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will grow at very different rates. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry mix yields an estimated employment growth of 5.8% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 327 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (30,018 at the 2021 Census → 32,010 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 (SAL21339). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
