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.

Population
An assessment of population growth drivers in Kings Park reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends
As of Feb 2026, the estimated population of the suburb of Kings Park (NSW) is around 3,481, reflecting an increase of 5 people since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 3,476. This change is inferred from the resident population of 3,349 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 10 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,333 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration contributing approximately 78.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year.
For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb of Kings Park (NSW) is expected to grow by 1,301 persons to 2041, reflecting a gain of 33.6% in total over the 17 years.

Development
Residential development activity is lower than average in Kings Park according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets
AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers in Kings Park shows approximately 10 new homes approved annually. Between FY-21 and FY-25, around 54 homes were approved, with one more approved so far in FY-26. Each dwelling built over these years attracted an average of 2.1 new residents per year.
New homes are being constructed at an average cost of $313,000. This financial year has seen $1.3 million in commercial development approvals, indicating the area's residential character. Compared to Greater Sydney, Kings Park has roughly half the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and ranks among the 41st percentile nationally, suggesting limited buyer choice and supporting interest in existing dwellings. New building activity comprises 33.0% detached houses and 67.0% medium and high-density housing, offering affordable entry pathways for downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This shift from the area's current 93.0% houses indicates decreasing developable sites and changing lifestyles. Kings Park has around 405 people per dwelling approval, indicating a developed market.
By 2041, it is projected to gain 1,169 residents. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to keep pace with population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting price increases.
