That puts 5,678 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

Kingsville has a projected population of 4,145 as of May 2026, according to analysis of ABS updates for the region and new address files verified by AreaSearch. This represents a gain of 225 people (5.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 3,920 people. This change is calculated from a resident population count of 4,129 estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with 13 validated new addresses identified after the Census. This population level translates to a density of 5,678 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top 10% of all national areas monitored by AreaSearch, highlighting the high demand for local land.

The growth in residency was largely supported by arrivals from overseas, which accounted for approximately 73.0% of the overall population expansion in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised for each SA2 unit. For areas without these projections, AreaSearch scales down Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2023 via a weighted aggregation method. The age-cohort growth rates derived from this approach are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these models, the area is expected to experience population growth that exceeds the national median, adding 718 residents by 2041 and representing an overall increase of 16.9% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Kingsville

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

41 new dwellings have been approved in Kingsville over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, 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

Kingsville has averaged approximately 8 residential building approvals annually, translating to an estimated 41 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years, according to AreaSearch's allocation of ABS figures. For FY-26 to date, 7 approvals have been logged. With an average of only 0.1 additional residents per new dwelling annually between FY-21 and FY-25, construction activity is keeping pace with or exceeding demand. This provides purchasers with greater choice and creates potential for population gains to outpace current forecasts, with new dwellings carrying an average construction value of $588,000, illustrating a focus by developers on premium projects.

Compared to Greater Melbourne, development activity in Kingsville is low, sitting 83.0% below the metropolitan per-capita average despite a recent uptick. The level of building activity also sits below the national average, reflecting a mature urban environment and potential planning limits. Recent approvals consist of 10.0% detached houses and 90.0% higher-density options like townhouses and apartments. This shift toward denser housing provides more accessible price points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers, contrasting with the current residential stock which is 61.0% houses. This pattern reflects the scarcity of vacant land and changing buyer preferences. The local market remains low density, with roughly 224 people per single dwelling approval. Estimates from the latest AreaSearch quarter suggest Kingsville will add 702 residents by 2041. If the pace of new building approvals remains at current levels, housing supply may fall short of population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 504 applications for Kingsville, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution.

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 — 13 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,920 at the 2021 Census → 4,145 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 (SAL21365). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Kingsville suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Kingsville page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Kingsville data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jun 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
