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.

Detail
As of Aug 2026, the population of Keysborough - South is estimated by AreaSearch at approximately 17,166 people. This represents an addition of 2,073 people (13.7%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 15,093 people. This population movement is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 17,132 alongside 264 validated new addresses added following the Census date. In terms of settlement density, the locality registers 725 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch locations. Outperforming both the broader state and its SA3 area (7.0%), Keysborough - South's 13.7% expansion establishes it as a regional growth frontrunner.
While positive contributions came from natural growth and interstate migration, inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth driver, accounting for roughly 63.6% of total recent population gains. Population forecasts released in 2024 by the ABS/Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as a base year are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. Where local data is missing, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections are integrated via a weighted aggregation method translating LGA trends down to the SA2 level, with age-specific growth rates applied to all locations covering the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on current annual ERP metrics, long-term projections place the area within the top quartile of Australian statistical areas, anticipating an increase of 5,358 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative 30.9% gain over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
438 new dwellings have been approved in Keysborough - South over the past five years, an average of 87 a year. That places the area in the 59th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 87 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 29% 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
Residential building approvals in Keysborough - South have averaged approximately 87 dwellings annually, accumulating to 438 homes over the past 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26 across the past 5 financial years, roughly 5 people arrived in the locality for every new home constructed, indicating that residential supply is tracking well behind demand and creating upward price pressures and heightened buyer competition. Newly built residences average $445,000 in construction value. Meanwhile, commercial approvals reached $1.2 million this financial year, underscoring the distinctly residential character of the neighborhood. Per capita residential building activity in Keysborough - South exceeds Greater Melbourne by 63.0%, offering options for incoming purchasers despite recent moderation in construction volume.
Newly approved residential stock is heavily weighted toward medium and high-density housing at 71.0%, with detached dwellings making up 29.0%. This pivot toward higher-density options enhances market accessibility for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors, while marking a noticeable shift from the existing built form of 89.0% houses due to declining land availability and evolving affordability and lifestyle preferences. An estimated ratio of 1651 people per dwelling approval highlights a calm, low-scale development environment. According to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Keysborough - South is projected to expand by 5,309 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing delivery could fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward pressure on local property values.

Keysborough Golf Club Relocation and South East Sports Hub
The project involves the proposed relocation of the Keysborough Golf Club to a new Graham Marsh-designed 18-hole course in Bangholme to facilitate the creation of a 69-hectare South East Sports Hub (SESH). The SESH is planned to include five football pitches, three cricket fields, an Aussie Rules field, and eight netball courts. While the 1,600-dwelling residential component at the existing Hutton Road site is currently stalled due to the Victorian Government's refusal to amend the Urban Growth Boundary and a failed member vote to extend the developer's option in early 2026, the developer Intrapac and the Club continue to advocate for the relocation to safeguard the club's financial future and provide regional sporting infrastructure.

10,224 residents of Keysborough - South are employed, from a labour force of 10,455. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 76.2%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 15,707, about 92% 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
The workforce in Keysborough - South is characterized by high levels of education, substantial professional services representation, an unemployment rate standing at only 2.2%, and annual employment growth of 4.7%. As of March 2026, working residents count 10,224, while the local jobless rate sits 2.6% below the 4.8% recorded for Greater Melbourne. Labor force participation reaches an elevated 76.2%, well above the 70.1% observed across Greater Melbourne. Census records show 26.1% of employed locals working from home, a metric that may reflect prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of manufacturing, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
Manufacturing demonstrates notable concentration, capturing a local employment share 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, education & training represents a smaller proportion of the local workforce at 6.6%, compared with 9.2% regionally. A comparison between Census working figures and resident counts indicates that although local jobs are present, a substantial segment of workers travels outside the area for employment. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, local employment expanded by 4.7% while the labor pool grew by 4.5%, leading to a 0.2 percentage points decrease in the unemployment rate. Across Greater Melbourne over the same timeframe, employment expanded by 2.1%, the labor force increased by 2.3%, and unemployment rose by 0.2 percentage points. Five and ten-year national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further context when mapped against the local industry base. Nationally, employment is projected to grow 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying across industries. Applying these sector-level weightings to Keysborough - South suggests local job numbers could rise by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, serving as an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized population 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 — 264 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,093 at the 2021 Census → 17,166 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 (212041566). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
