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.

Sales Detail
Kilsyth South has an estimated 2,891 residents, up from 2,862 at the 2021 Census — a change of 29 people, or 1.0%. That puts 863 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
Drawing on ABS population estimates for the surrounding region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, Kilsyth South has an estimated residency of 2,891 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 29 individuals (1.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented 2,862 residents. This shift is calculated from a local population of 2,870, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 8 verified new addresses added after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 863 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical averages recorded across AreaSearch assessment zones.
The suburb's post-census growth of 1.0% is within 2.8 percentage points of the broader SA4 region (3.8%), displaying solid local growth metrics. Recent population gains were heavily supported by international migration, which accounted for approximately 67.0% of the overall increase. AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia population projections for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections are derived from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population growth tracking from LGA to SA2 tiers. Age cohort growth rates from these aggregations are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic patterns point to growth tracking slightly below the national median, with the local population projected to increase by 126 individuals by 2041 under these aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 3.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
25 new dwellings have been approved in Kilsyth South over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, 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
Based on building approval statistics compiled by the ABS and allocated by statistical area, Kilsyth South averages approximately 5 residential approvals annually. This includes an estimated 25 homes approved during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 3 approvals registered so far in FY-26. Despite recent population declines, residential construction activity has remained relatively balanced, benefiting buyers, with new builds averaging an estimated construction cost of $488,000, pointing to developer focus on upscale, high-end housing. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $9.4 million have been recorded during the current financial year, demonstrating active commercial investment.
Compared to the broader Greater Melbourne area, Kilsyth South exhibits significantly lower construction volumes, tracking at 61.0% below the regional per capita average. This limited addition of housing stock generally supports valuations and demand for existing residences. It also falls below national averages, highlighting the established state of the local area and potential planning limitations. Current residential development projects comprise 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% attached dwellings, with a growing proportion of townhouses and apartments offering diverse choices ranging from family homes to more affordable, compact footprints. This represents a distinct shift from the existing housing stock, which is 98.0% houses, indicating reduced availability of vacant land and adapting to changing consumer preferences and affordability constraints. The ratio of 2868 residents per dwelling approval highlights a quiet, low-density development climate. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Kilsyth South is projected to add 105 residents by 2041. Current building volumes suggest that housing supply is on track to satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for prospective buyers while potentially supporting growth that outpaces current predictions.

1,763 residents of Kilsyth South are employed, from a labour force of 1,840. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 74.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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
Kilsyth South possesses a skilled labor force, with particularly strong representation in the construction sector. The local unemployment rate stands at 4.2%, with estimated annual job growth reaching 0.9%. As of March 2026, there are 1,763 employed residents. The local unemployment rate tracks 0.6% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, while workforce participation is standard at 74.9% compared to the regional average of 70.2%. Census data indicates a moderate 23.4% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns. The local workforce is primarily employed in construction, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing.
The suburb exhibits a strong specialty in construction, with employment representation reaching 1.6 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 5.2% of local workers compared to 10.1% across the region. Although local employment is available, the ratio of Census workers to the local population suggests a significant proportion of residents travel outside the suburb for work. Based on SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, the past 12 months saw local employment grow by 0.9% while the labor force expanded by 1.7%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate by 0.8 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded job growth of 2.1%, a labor force expansion of 2.3%, and a minor 0.2 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to model growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local industry profile suggests Kilsyth South's employment base could grow by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that 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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,862 at the 2021 Census → 2,891 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 (SAL21355). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
