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
Kyneton has an estimated 7,753 residents, up from 7,513 at the 2021 Census — a change of 240 people, or 3.2%. Growth has averaged 0.6% a year over five years. 279 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Density is about 77 people per 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Kyneton is estimated to have a population of approximately 7,753, drawing from AreaSearch analysis of ABS updates across the surrounding region alongside newly validated addresses since the Census. When compared against the 2021 Census total of 7,513 people, this represents an expansion of 240 people (3.2%). Such figures stem from an estimated resident population of 7,639 based on the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, supplemented by 279 validated new addresses added post-Census. With a density of 76 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample space per resident with room for additional growth.
Furthermore, the suburb of Kyneton recorded a 3.2% expansion rate post-Census, trailing the broader SA3 area (4.4%) by only 1.2 percentage points to show solid growth credentials. Net overseas migration served as the principal demographic driver, accounting for roughly 89.0% of recent population additions. Projections developed by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 using 2022 as the base period) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In areas where this coverage is unavailable, AreaSearch incorporates the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, applying population increases from LGA to SA2 geographies via weighted aggregation. Age-specific growth rates derived from these methods are extended across all territories for the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these demographic models, the suburb of Kyneton is anticipated to rank in the upper quartile of regional Australian locations for growth, adding an estimated 2,012 persons by 2041 through aggregated SA2 modelling, which equates to a cumulative 24.5% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
199 new dwellings have been approved in Kyneton over the past five years, an average of 39 a year. That is 5.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 41 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 40, 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
Dwelling approval data from the ABS, compiled by AreaSearch from statistical regions, indicates that Kyneton has averaged roughly 39 approved residential builds annually, amounting to around 199 dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 40 building approvals have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the area recorded an average influx of 1.1 people per year for every completed residence, indicating balanced market demand and supply conditions. Approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $686,000, pointing toward an emphasis among developers on higher-end builds. Alongside housing activity, $23.1 million in commercial developments received approval during the current financial year, highlighting steady non-residential investment.
Per-capita residential approvals in Kyneton align closely with trends across Rest of Vic., reinforcing steady market fundamentals consistent with the wider regional area. New residential building consists of 95.0% separate houses and 5.0% apartments or townhouses, preserving the low-density footprint and supplying spacious homes suited to family living. With an average of roughly 211 people per approval, the locality maintains its low-density urban setting. Long-term projections indicate that Kyneton is set to welcome an additional 1,898 residents by 2041 based on recent AreaSearch quarterly modelling. If new residential construction continues at current volumes, dwelling supply may struggle to keep pace with demographic expansion, potentially creating heightened buyer demand and reinforcing residential values.

Stage Two adds three further multi-use indoor courts, four gender-neutral changerooms, additional offices, amenities and parking on the western site, and a second natural turf oval, two outdoor netball courts and further car parking on the eastern site. Construction progressed through 2026 with oval turf works completed and structural steel erected for the stadium extension by April 2026. Eastern side completion is expected mid-2026 and western side completion late 2026, with all new facilities open in early 2027. A proposed Stage Three, estimated at $15.5 million and still seeking external funding, would add retractable seating, a function and multi-purpose room extension, a canopy linking the existing netball courts to the sports hub, a pavilion extension and cricket nets.

3,677 residents of Kyneton are employed, from a labour force of 3,747. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 58.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,737, about 87% 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
Labour force metrics compiled by AreaSearch reveal that Kyneton features a qualified resident workforce with strong representation across core community sectors, an unemployment rate standing at only 1.9%, and yearly job growth measured at 1.4%. By March 2026, working residents numbered 3,677, with local joblessness sitting 1.8% lower than the 3.7% recorded across Regional Vic., while participation was slightly lower at 58.7% compared to 61.1% regionally. In Census returns, 29.5% of working locals indicated they worked remotely, though pandemic-related lockdown measures should be kept in mind. Local resident employment is largely anchored by health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade.
There is a strong professional & technical focus within the workforce, with its employment proportion reaching 1.7 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 2.2% of employed residents, falling short of the 7.5% regional benchmark. Comparing Census resident workers with local workplace counts highlights a constrained volume of employment opportunities within the immediate boundaries. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM series, employment in Kyneton expanded by 1.4% and the total workforce grew by 1.0% in the 12 months leading to March 2026, reducing the local unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. Over the same timeframe across Regional Vic., employment contracted by 0.1%, the workforce shrank by 0.3%, and unemployment fell by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on future labour demand. Nationally, total employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When mapped against Kyneton's industry structure, these national trends suggest local employment could rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighted model that excludes local population adjustments).

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 — 279 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,513 at the 2021 Census → 7,753 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL21414). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
