This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch combining regional ABS updates and address confirmations since the Census indicate that the suburb of Kilburn has an estimated 5,852 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census tally of 5,633 people, this represents an addition of 219 people (3.9%). The estimate builds upon an ERP baseline of 5,817 calculated from ABS releases in June 2025 alongside 78 validated new addresses logged post-Census. Consequently, population density stands at 2,017 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated across AreaSearch locations. The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion has been overseas migration, accounting for approximately 80.0% of recent population gains.
Projections for the suburb of Kilburn incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 modeling published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, complemented beyond 2032 or in unmapped tracts by 2023 SA State Government LGA age-bracket figures anchored to 2021 data and scaled down via weighted distribution. Future expectations point to above-median growth relative to nationwide areas, with aggregated SA2 modeling indicating the suburb of Kilburn will gain 1,035 persons by 2041, translating to an overall rise of 17.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
152 new dwellings have been approved in Kilburn over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That is 5.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 66% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 28, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that Kilburn has maintained a steady pace of approximately 30 residential approvals annually, delivering roughly 152 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 28 approvals have been registered. With an inflow averaging merely 0.2 new residents per year per approved home between FY-21 and FY-25, residential construction is comfortably matching or exceeding demand, enhancing options for buyers and creating capacity for above-trend expansion. The average construction value for these dwellings is $389,000. Furthermore, the non-residential sector is performing strongly, logging $58.4 million in commercial development approvals during the current financial year.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Kilburn is running at roughly three-quarters the level of Greater Adelaide, placing the suburb in the 65th percentile among nationally tracked markets. Residential construction consists of 66.0% detached dwellings and 34.0% attached dwellings, introducing a diverse array of medium-density formats that span broad budget tiers from family-oriented residences to compact alternatives. Builders are delivering detached properties at a higher rate than the baseline stock (46.0% at Census), pointing to sustained appetite for standalone homes alongside ongoing urban consolidation. With roughly 200 people per dwelling approval, the market exhibits low-density characteristics. Over the period leading up to 2041, latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch project an expansion of 1,000 residents for Kilburn. While ongoing construction activity continues to track demographic forecasts, prospective purchasers could face stronger market competition as the local community enlarges.

2,445 residents of Kilburn are employed, from a labour force of 2,631. Unemployment sits at 7.1%, with participation at 53.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% 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
Statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch indicate that Kilburn maintains an educated talent base across various industries alongside an unemployment rate of 7.1%. Employed residents numbered 2,445 as of March 2026. Local joblessness sits 3.2% higher than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8%, and the local labour participation rate of 53.6% trails the broader metropolitan mark of 66.4%. Census figures indicate that just 6.1% of local workers operated from home, though this metric was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary industry sectors employing local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food.
Transport, postal & warehousing shows a particularly heavy local footprint, employing workers at 1.8 times the wider metropolitan benchmark. Conversely, education & training is under-indexed, engaging 5.5% of workers living in Kilburn compared with 9.3% across Greater Adelaide. Comparing resident numbers to Census employment counts suggests the suburb is primarily residential with constrained local commercial employment. According to SALM and ABS statistical aggregations by AreaSearch, the twelve months to March 2026 saw Kilburn's labour force shrink by 1.9% and total employment drop by 3.2%, driving a 1.3 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. In contrast, Greater Adelaide recorded a 4.2% lift in employment, a 4.0% increase in labour supply, and a 0.2 percentage points reduction in unemployment. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on medium-term demand. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against Kilburn's local industry composition suggests resident employment could increase by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model without local demographic 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 — 78 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,633 at the 2021 Census → 5,852 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.
