This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Keilor Downs has an estimated 13,088 residents. That puts 1,709 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
Keilor Downs recorded an estimated population of approximately 13,088 as of Aug 2026 according to research conducted by AreaSearch. In comparison with the 2021 Census tally of 13,082 residents, this marks an addition of 6 people (virtually no net change). This demographic calculation incorporates the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,080 alongside 68 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The area exhibits a population density of 1,708 persons per square kilometer, sitting above the nationwide benchmark recorded across AreaSearch locations. Keilor Downs's negligible growth rate since the census trails the wider SA3 region (2.2%) by 2.2 percentage points, demonstrating resilient expansion foundations.
The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion was overseas migration, generating roughly 77.4% of aggregate net population additions in recent reporting periods. Projections published in 2024 by ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as the base year have been incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries. Where coverage is absent, AreaSearch draws upon 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, implementing weighted growth aggregation from LGA down to SA2 zones. These aggregated age-specific growth trajectories are subsequently applied across all regions for the 2032 to 2041 period. Looking ahead, local population trajectory is projected to track marginally beneath the nationwide median across statistical areas, expanding by 473 persons through to 2041 according to recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to a cumulative increase of 3.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
144 new dwellings have been approved in Keilor Downs over the past five years, an average of 28 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 29 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 24% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential building approvals in Keilor Downs have averaged roughly 28 dwellings, aggregating to 144 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Despite historical population contractions, residential building volume has tracked in line with local requirements, fostering an equilibrium across the market with ample options for buyers. The average estimated building construction cost of $383,000 sits below regional benchmarks, delivering relatively accessible housing price points. Furthermore, commercial building approvals registered this financial year reached $61.8 million, demonstrating robust commercial building activity. Relative to Greater Melbourne on a per capita basis, residential dwelling approvals in Keilor Downs track at approximately three-quarters of the metropolitan rate and rank in the 44th percentile across Australia, constraining purchaser selection and underpinning demand for established stock despite recent building acceleration.
This below-average national volume reflects both the established nature of the suburb and potential planning constraints. Compositionally, building approvals consist of 24.0% detached houses and 76.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on medium-density formats creates cost-effective market entry for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizing households. This pattern marks a substantial pivot from the current built environment (where 87.0% are houses), illustrating diminishing greenfield parcel availability while catering to evolving household sizes and budget realities. A ratio of approximately 644 people per dwelling approval confirms the mature development stage of Keilor Downs. Over the period running to 2041, Keilor Downs is projected to expand by 465 residents according to the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. The prevailing pace of residential construction is anticipated to easily satisfy incoming demand, establishing favorable buyer dynamics and potentially enabling residential growth to surpass baseline demographic forecasts.

6,585 residents of Keilor Downs are employed, from a labour force of 6,996. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 62.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,718, about 82% 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
Keilor Downs possesses a qualified local workforce across an array of industries, characterized by an unemployment rate of 5.9% and an estimated annual jobs growth rate of 2.0%. There were 6,585 employed residents recorded as of March 2026, while the local jobless rate sits 1.1% above the Greater Melbourne benchmark of 4.8%, and local labour participation (62.9%) trails the Greater Melbourne figure of 70.1% notably. At the Census, 23.1% of workers indicated working from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors employing local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
A distinct concentration is evident in transport, postal & warehousing, which captures 1.8 times the metropolitan employment share. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for a modest 6.0% of local jobs compared to 10.1% across the broader region. Given its predominantly residential footprint, internal employment capacity remains limited based on the ratio between local working numbers and residing workers during the Census. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that throughout the 12 months leading to March 2026, resident employment expanded by 2.0% as the workforce increased by 1.9%, maintaining steady unemployment metrics. In contrast, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% lift in employment, a 2.3% expansion in the labour pool, and a 0.2 percentage point climb in joblessness. National workforce projections released in Mar-26 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further visibility regarding forward employment trajectory across Keilor Downs. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the suburb's sectoral composition to model anticipated trends. Against broader Australian forecasts of 6.6% growth over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies substantially. Applying these sectoral trajectories to the employment profile of Keilor Downs indicates projected local job growth of 6.1% over five years and 12.7% over ten years (note that this is a weighted illustrative calculation that excludes local demographic projections).

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 — 68 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,082 at the 2021 Census → 13,088 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 (213011332). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
