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
South Kingsville has an estimated 2,211 residents, up from 2,156 at the 2021 Census — a change of 55 people, or 2.6%. 109 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 3,455 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
The suburb of South Kingsville has an estimated population of 2,211 as of May 2026, which is derived from analyzing ABS population datasets for the wider region alongside newly validated physical addresses tracked by AreaSearch post-Census. This represents an increase of 55 residents (2.6%) from the 2021 Census headcount of 2,156. The projection is built upon an estimated resident population of 2,207 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, combined with an additional 109 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Based on these figures, the suburb of South Kingsville has a density of 3,454 persons per square kilometer, placing it within the highest quarter of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
Over the ten years leading up to this point, the suburb of South Kingsville has shown stable expansion with a compound annual growth rate of 0.9%, which is higher than the rate observed in the local SA3 region. Net gains in the local population were driven chiefly by arrivals from overseas, which made up roughly 62.0% of the overall growth in recent times. Projections for each SA2 region are based on the 2024 releases from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 territories where these forecasts are unavailable, AreaSearch calculates projections by utilizing the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, applying a system of weighted aggregation to scale population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. The age cohort growth rates derived from this process are applied to all locations for the years 2032 through 2041. Based on this methodology, the forecast indicates a minor retraction in the overall population, with a net reduction of 5 persons by 2041. In contrast to this overall trend, specific age brackets are expected to grow, particularly the 55 to 64 cohort, which is forecast to increase by 60 people. Further details can be found in the age analysis section.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
199 new dwellings have been approved in South Kingsville over the past five years, an average of 39 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 18 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 33 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 9% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, 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
According to calculations by AreaSearch using ABS building approvals data apportioned from regional statistics, South Kingsville averages about 39 approved residential builds per year. Over the last 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, approvals reached approximately 199 dwellings, with an additional 43 approvals logged during FY-26 so far. Even with recent population declines, residential construction activity remains relatively balanced, which provides opportunities for buyers. New residential projects average an estimated build value of $420,000, which sits slightly higher than the regional benchmark and points toward higher-quality builds. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $6.1 million during this financial year, underscoring that the area remains predominantly residential.
South Kingsville registers 95.0% more residential building approvals per resident compared to Greater Melbourne, offering buyers a broader selection of properties, even though construction activity has slowed down recently. This level of building activity sits well above national averages, highlighting sustained interest from property developers. Recent building approvals consist of 9.0% detached houses and 91.0% multi-unit housing styles. The high proportion of medium and high-density housing options provides lower-cost options for buyers and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct shift from the existing local housing stock, where standalone houses account for 42.0%, reflecting a shortage of vacant building sites alongside changing preferences for lifestyle and affordable options. With approximately 85 people for every new residential approval, the suburb shows the physical markers of low-density development. Since population forecasts point to a stable or decreasing number of residents, South Kingsville is expected to experience less pressure on housing demand, creating positive conditions for prospective purchasers.

1,444 residents of South Kingsville are employed, from a labour force of 1,473. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 82.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,603, about 73% 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
South Kingsville has a highly qualified local workforce, featuring a strong contingent of professional services workers, an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, and stable employment numbers over the past year, as shown by AreaSearch statistical compilations. In March 2026, working residents numbered 1,444, while the unemployment rate was 2.8% lower than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. Workforce participation is unusually high, reaching 82.6% compared to the 70.2% recorded across Greater Melbourne. Census data shows that a significant 45.1% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
Local employment is concentrated in health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. The community displays a strong relative concentration in finance & insurance, with employment in this sector reaching 1.6 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, manufacturing jobs are less common locally, accounting for 4.5% of employment compared to the regional average of 7.2%. The area is primarily residential and offers relatively few jobs within its own boundaries, as demonstrated by comparing the local working population at the Census against the total number of working residents. An analysis of SALM and ABS figures aggregated from broader statistical divisions indicates that over the 12-month period, local employment grew by 0.3% while the labor force expanded by 0.4%, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate of 0.1 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded employment expansion of 2.1% and labor force growth of 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future hiring trends in South Kingsville. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to local workforce data to project future growth. Across Australia, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will experience different growth rates. Mapping these industry-specific projections onto the local workforce structure indicates that employment among residents is on track to rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted calculation that does not factor in 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 — 109 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,156 at the 2021 Census → 2,211 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 (SAL22309). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
