Sales Detail
Kings Park (Vic.) has an estimated 8,186 residents. The population has thinned by an average 0.8% a year over five years, slower than 93% of areas nationally. That puts 3,236 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
Based on evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside address files validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count of the suburb of Kings Park (Vic.) is projected to be approximately 8,186 as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 17 people (0.2%) from the 2021 Census, which registered a population of 8,203 people. The adjustment is determined from the resident count of 8,186, calculated by AreaSearch through analysing the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) and incorporating 2 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density of 3,235 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of national spots assessed by AreaSearch. Although the suburb of Kings Park (Vic.) registered a 0.2% drop since census, the SA3 region expanded by 2.1%, showing contrasting demographic patterns. Growth in the broader region was chiefly supported by overseas migration, which made up approximately 77.0% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, AreaSearch employs VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2023, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA to the SA2 scale. Growth rates across age categories from these aggregations are also applied to all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead to future demographic changes, a population expansion slightly under the median of statistical locations reviewed by AreaSearch is anticipated, with the suburb of Kings Park (Vic.) expected to add 609 persons by 2041 according to combined SA2-level projections, which is an increase of 7.4% overall across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
51 new dwellings have been approved in Kings Park (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 1.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area records, Kings Park typically sees approximately 10 dwellings approved for construction annually, with a total of 51 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 5 so far in FY-26. Because the population has decreased in recent times, this level of development has been relatively sufficient, which is beneficial for purchasers, with new dwellings being constructed at a mean value of $284,000—below regional benchmarks—suggesting more attainable housing alternatives. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $87,000 have been logged during the current financial year, pointing to a mostly residential orientation.
Kings Park registers substantially lower construction activity compared to Greater Melbourne (59.0% below the regional per capita mean). This constrained supply of new builds generally underpins demand and values for pre-existing properties. This construction rate is also below the national average, highlighting the established character of the locality and pointing to possible planning constraints. Recent building activity consists of 75.0% separate houses and 25.0% medium and high-density dwellings, maintaining the traditional suburban layout of the area with a preference for family residences that attract those looking for space. This represents a distinct departure from the existing housing stock (which currently consists of 95.0% houses), showing a reduction in developable land options and reflecting modern lifestyles and a demand for more varied, economical housing types. Recording approximately 1091 people per approval, Kings Park displays the traits of a mature, settled locality. Demographic projections indicate that Kings Park will add 609 residents by 2041 (derived from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections). At the current pace of construction, residential supply might struggle to keep up with population expansion, which could intensify competition among buyers and underpin price growth.

3,437 residents of Kings Park (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 3,836. Unemployment sits at 10.4%, with participation at 56.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,575, about 80% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Kings Park has a workforce distributed across professional and industrial roles, with manufacturing and production fields heavily represented, an unemployment rate of 10.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 2.4% over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,437 residents are employed, while the unemployment rate sits 5.6% higher than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, highlighting potential for improvement, and workforce participation remains notably low (56.3% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). According to Census details, a low 12.1% of residents worked from their homes, although the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary employment fields for residents are manufacturing, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. The locality exhibits a particularly strong concentration in manufacturing, with employment levels sitting at 2.1 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles have a minor footprint, accounting for 3.1% of employment compared to 10.1% across the region. This mostly residential locality appears to present few local jobs, as shown by comparing the Census working population count to the resident population count. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics gathered from wider statistical regions, the 12-month timeframe saw employment grow by 2.4% while the labor force expanded by 2.0%, leading to a 0.4 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded employment expansion of 2.1% and labor force expansion of 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 can provide additional context regarding future demand trends within Kings Park. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of growth differ widely across separate industry categories. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Kings Park indicates that local jobs should grow by 5.4% over five years and 11.9% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate localized 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,203 at the 2021 Census → 8,186 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.
