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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Kings Park (Vic.)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Kings Park (Vic.) has an estimated 13,956 residents, down from 13,983 at the 2021 Census. The population has thinned by an average 0.7% a year over five years, slower than 93% of areas nationally. 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 findings from AreaSearch, the resident count in Kings Park stands at approximately 13,956 in May 2026. This represents a reduction of 27 people (0.2%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 13,983 people. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,956 alongside 5 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. Such a population size results in a density of 3,150 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of all Australian locations analyzed by AreaSearch. In contrast to the 0.2% drop observed in Kings Park since the census, the surrounding SA3 region grew by 2.1%, showing conflicting local demographic directions.

The primary factor behind population gains in recent times was overseas migration, which represented roughly 76.7% of the total increase. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch incorporates population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline. In cases where SA2 areas lack this coverage, projections from the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA releases are applied, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA level to the SA2 level. Growth statistics by age category derived from these aggregations are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic transitions, the locality is projected to experience population growth slightly below the national median for statistical areas, expanding by 1,013 persons by 2041 when measured against the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 16-year cumulative increase of 7.3%.

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

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

55 new dwellings have been approved in Kings Park (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

An average of approximately 11 new residential approvals have been granted annually in Kings Park, amounting to a total of 55 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 11 approvals have been documented so far. Because the local population has been declining, the housing supply has sufficed to meet requirements, maintaining a balanced property market with reasonable options for purchasers, while new homes are built at an average cost of $223,000—a figure below the broader regional standard—indicating more budget-friendly choices for buyers. Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $199,000 have been logged during this financial year, underscoring the primarily residential focus of the suburb.

Compared to the broader Greater Melbourne region, development in Kings Park is extremely limited, tracking at 74.0% below the regional per capita average. This lack of new home building typically helps bolster demand and support valuations for the existing housing stock. Activity is also below the national benchmark, highlighting the established profile of the suburb and suggesting possible zoning or planning constraints. Current building approvals consist of 71.0% freestanding houses and 29.0% semi-detached or attached options, maintaining the suburban feel with a focus on single-family homes that attract buyers looking for space. This shows a clear departure from the current housing stock, which is 96.0% houses, pointing to a declining volume of vacant land and reflecting changing household needs for varied and budget-conscious housing types. With a ratio of roughly 1505 people for each building approval, Kings Park represents a highly developed housing market. Future estimates indicate that Kings Park will add 1,013 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at its current pace, the addition of new housing may not keep up with population expansion, which could increase competition among buyers and drive up 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 — 5 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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.

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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
