Sales Detail
Kilsyth South has an estimated 2,892 residents, up from 2,862 at the 2021 Census — a change of 30 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS population releases and post-Census address validations, the suburb of Kilsyth South has an estimated 2,892 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 30 people (1.0%) compared to the 2,862 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated from an estimated resident population of 2,870 derived from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 8 validated new addresses confirmed after the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 863 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical AreaSearch benchmark locations.
With a 1.0% post-census expansion, the suburb of Kilsyth South trails the broader SA4 region (3.9%) by 2.9 percentage points, highlighting solid underlying growth. Overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 67.0% of recent population additions. Projections generated by ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base) are applied at the SA2 level by AreaSearch. Where SA2 coverage is absent, 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections are incorporated via weighted aggregation down to SA2 boundaries. These aggregated age-bracket growth trajectories are extended across all locations for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, future population expansion for the suburb of Kilsyth South is projected to track slightly below the national statistical area median, adding 134 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 models, which equates to an overall growth rate of 3.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
An assessment of ABS building approval records mapped across statistical areas by AreaSearch indicates that Kilsyth South averages approximately 3 approved residential dwellings each year. Over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 and FY-25, roughly 17 dwellings gained approval, including 3 during FY-25 to date. Because local population numbers declined over the preceding timeframe, residential supply has kept pace with demand, fostering a balanced environment with ample options for prospective buyers. The average anticipated construction cost for new homes sits at $377,000, coming in under regional benchmarks and pointing to relatively affordable development costs.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $9.4 million have been registered in the current financial year, demonstrating steady commercial building momentum. Development volume in Kilsyth South is notably subdued relative to Greater Melbourne, sitting 72.0% below the regional per capita figure. This constrained delivery of new supply tends to underpin buyer interest and property values for existing residences. Local activity also trails national rates, underscoring the suburb's established character and possible limits on available land. Of recent residential approvals, detached houses accounted for 67.0% while medium and high-density formats made up 33.0%, with an expanding selection of townhouses and apartments broadening price points between standard family residences and compact options. This marks a meaningful departure from the current built landscape of 98.0% houses, reflecting tighter site availability, shifting household preferences, and a growing requirement for diverse, budget-friendly housing forms. A high ratio of 1434 people per approved dwelling highlights the suburb's calm, low-scale development setting. Projections indicate that Kilsyth South will add 112 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Current construction activity appears well-calibrated to meet this future demand, supporting steady property conditions without placing undue upward pressure on values.

1,775 residents of Kilsyth South are employed, from a labour force of 1,852. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 75.3%. 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
The construction industry stands out as a major employer in Kilsyth South, where the broader job market reflects a 4.2% unemployment rate and an estimated 1.1% increase in employment from the previous year. These figures are derived from AreaSearch's compilation of statistical area information. By March 2026, the local labor force includes 1,775 individuals actively employed, which corresponds to an unemployment rate of 0.6% lower than the 4.8% observed across Greater Melbourne. Participation in the workforce also exceeds regional norms, reaching 75.3% relative to the 70.1% rate in Greater Melbourne.
Census data indicates that approximately 23.4% of local residents commuted from home to work, a figure that may be influenced by the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdown measures. Resident employment centers primarily around construction, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. The construction industry exhibits exceptional local concentration, employing residents at 1.6 times the regional average rate. Conversely, professional & technical occupations are underrepresented, engaging just 5.2% of Kilsyth South workers compared with 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Although neighborhood jobs are present, the disparity between local Census workers and total resident numbers indicates that a substantial portion of the labor force commutes to other districts. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM statistical area data shows that in the 12 months leading to March 2026, resident employment expanded by 1.1% while the labor pool grew by 1.9%, leading to a 0.7 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne registered employment gains of 2.1% and workforce growth of 2.3%, alongside a 0.2 percentage point rise. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Kilsyth South. When mapped against the local industry profile, these five- and ten-year national estimates—projecting overall growth of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with wide variation across sectors—indicate prospective local employment gains of 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (calculated via weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes, without incorporating specific 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 Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,862 at the 2021 Census → 2,892 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.
