Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

That puts 3,150 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 AreaSearch data, the population of Kings Park stands at approximately 13,956 as of Aug 2026. This figure marks a drop of 27 individuals, representing a 0.2% decline, compared to the 2021 Census count of 13,983 residents. The adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 13,956 recorded as of June 2025, combined with six newly validated addresses added after the Census date. With this headcount, the locality records a density of 3,150 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile among national sites evaluated by AreaSearch.

Despite the 0.2% contraction in Kings Park since the last census, the broader SA3 region expanded by 2.2%, illustrating contrasting demographic movements. Overseas migration accounted for roughly 76.7% of the total population increase observed in recent years. Population projections produced by AreaSearch incorporate official modelling from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as a foundational base. When local SA2 coverage is absent from these datasets, AreaSearch applies the 2023 Victoria State Government Regional and LGA projections, distributing growth from municipal to local levels via a weighted aggregation framework. Age-specific cohort expansion rates generated by these aggregations are carried forward across all localities for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, population expansion is anticipated to trail just beneath the national median, with Kings Park slated to gain 988 persons through 2041 relative to latest annual ERP benchmarks, representing a cumulative increase of 7.1% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Kings Park (Vic.)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

47 new dwellings have been approved in Kings Park (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 0.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential planning approval volumes in Kings Park average approximately 9 dwellings per annum, amounting to a cumulative total of 47 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. In the context of recent population contraction, this development throughput offers sufficient capacity for local buyers, with newly approved residences carrying an average construction value of $351,000—a figure lower than the broader regional benchmark that reflects relatively affordable building activity. Furthermore, commercial building approvals reached $199,000 during the current financial year, highlighting the suburb's overwhelmingly residential focus. Building approvals per capita in Kings Park sit 78.0% below the regional average across Greater Melbourne.

This subdued volume of new construction generally bolsters pricing power and underlying buyer interest within the established residential market. Local building rates are similarly subdued compared to nationwide metrics, reflecting established urban maturity alongside possible physical or zoning constraints. Approved residential projects comprise 70.0% standalone houses and 30.0% townhouses or apartments, signalling a progressive shift toward medium-density living that delivers housing options across varying price thresholds, ranging from conventional family houses to compact options. This marks a notable evolution from the established built environment (presently 96.0% detached houses), driven by declining greenfield site availability, evolving buyer preferences, and an increasing appetite for diverse, price-accessible housing. With approximately 1505 people per dwelling approval, Kings Park displays the characteristics of a deeply established urban market. Demographic projections indicate that Kings Park will expand by 988 residents through to 2041 according to recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If residential development proceeds at its current pace, future dwelling additions could fall short of resident growth, potentially escalating buyer competition and maintaining upward momentum on local property values.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,983 at the 2021 Census → 13,956 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 (213011333). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Kings Park (Vic.) SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Kings Park (Vic.) page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Kings Park (Vic.) data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
