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
Kilsyth has an estimated 10,832 residents, up from 9,916 at the 2021 Census — a change of 916 people, or 9.2%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. 311 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 49.5% of that increase. That puts 1,315 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Kilsyth stands at approximately 10,832 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 916 people (9.2%) compared to the 9,916 people documented in the 2021 Census. Such growth has been calculated utilizing an estimated resident population figure of 10,692 published by the ABS as of June 2025 alongside 311 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, the local population density reaches 1,314 persons per square kilometer, placing it above the nationwide benchmark assessed by AreaSearch. Outperforming both the broader SA4 region and the local SA3 area (3.6%), Kilsyth's 9.2% expansion since the 2021 census positions it as an area pacesetter.
Inbound interstate migration served as the foremost component of this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 49.5% of total population additions during recent periods, with natural increase and overseas migration also contributing positively. For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where specific SA2 regions are omitted, VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections issued in 2023 are applied, with adjustments implemented through a weighted aggregation model that scales LGA growth down to SA2 divisions. These aggregation models also inform age-specific growth trajectories applied uniformly between 2032 and 2041. Future demographic modelling points to an above median population growth compared to statistical zones nationally, projecting that the community will gain 2,128 persons by 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures, translating to an overall expansion of 18.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
350 new dwellings have been approved in Kilsyth over the past five years, an average of 70 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 70 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 47% 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
Over the past 5 financial years, residential approvals in Kilsyth have averaged approximately 70 dwellings annually, accumulating to 350 homes overall. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), the region recorded an inflow of 2.1 people per year for every newly built residence, pointing to healthy buyer interest that reinforces local real estate value. New dwellings reflect an average construction cost of $372,000—a level sitting below regional benchmarks that highlights cost-effective options for purchasers. Furthermore, $37.9 million in commercial development approvals has been logged during this financial year, underscoring substantial commercial development momentum.
Per capita building approvals in Kilsyth outpace Greater Melbourne by 88.0%, presenting prospective buyers with extensive housing options. An analysis of recent building activity indicates a distribution of 47.0% standalone homes alongside 53.0% attached dwellings. This emphasis on medium-density property development creates attainable options for first-time buyers, investors, and downsizers alike. Departing markedly from the broader historical housing profile (where houses constitute 86.0%), this shift reflects tightening land availability while catering to evolving household lifestyles and budget constraints. Recording roughly 128 people per approval, Kilsyth highlights an expanding residential landscape. According to the latest quarterly demographic figures from AreaSearch, demographic projections show Kilsyth adding 1,988 residents through to 2041. Ongoing residential construction volumes appear well calibrated to meet upcoming demand, fostering a balanced marketplace free from severe pricing pressures.

5,403 residents of Kilsyth are employed, from a labour force of 5,745. Unemployment sits at 6.0%, with participation at 66.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
A proficient local workforce characterizes Kilsyth, supported by robust representation across essential service industries, an unemployment rate of 6.0%, and a consistent job environment over the preceding twelve months. Records as of March 2026 show 5,403 residents actively employed. The local unemployment level exceeds Greater Melbourne's 4.8% by 1.2%, while labor force engagement trails typical benchmarks (recording 66.4% against 70.1% across Greater Melbourne). Census findings indicate that 22.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, though this metric should be viewed in light of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents consist of health care & social assistance, construction, and manufacturing.
Notably, the construction sector exhibits significant concentration locally, with its workforce proportion standing at 1.6 times the broader metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively sparse, engaging just 5.7% of local workers relative to 10.1% throughout Greater Melbourne. Although positions exist within the immediate vicinity, Census journey-to-work data indicates a considerable share of workers travel to workplaces located outside the suburb. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures show that in the year to March 2026, local employment ticked up by 0.2% while the labor pool expanded by 1.9%, elevating the unemployment rate by 1.6 percentage points. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% rise in employed persons, a 2.3% gain in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage points uptick in unemployment. National employment projections released in Mar-26 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further guidance on future local labor requirements. These five- and ten-year models have been cross-referenced against the area's worker profile to project industry trends. Across Australia, workforce numbers are anticipated to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across different fields. Weighting these projections against the local industrial base suggests Kilsyth's employment could increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (noting that this proportional extrapolation serves an illustrative purpose and excludes localized demographic forecasts).

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 — 311 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,916 at the 2021 Census → 10,832 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.
