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.

Detail

According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Kingsbury stands at approximately 12,942 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,534 individuals (24.3%) from the 10,408 residents recorded during the 2021 Census.

With this population level, the locality has a density of 1,436 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the typical density found across the country in AreaSearch assessments. The 24.3% expansion rate since the 2021 census paced ahead of the state average of 9.3% as well as the nationwide figure, positioning the area as a regional growth hotspot.

This demographic surge was majorly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 99.1% of the total population increase in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using a 2022 baseline are implemented by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In instances where SA2 data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA release, adapting the figures by weighting and aggregating population growth from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. These aggregated age cohort growth rates are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic transitions, the locality is set to experience stellar growth, ranking in the top 10 percent of locations nationwide.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Kingsbury

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

239 new dwellings have been approved in Kingsbury over the past five years, an average of 47 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 43 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 9% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, well below 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 47 new home approvals has been registered annually in Kingsbury, representing 239 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, there have been 13 registered approvals. With an average of 5.9 additional residents for every built home during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand remains well ahead of supply, a dynamic that commonly exerts upward pressure on dwelling prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new builds average a construction value of $405,000. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $22.8 million in the current financial year, demonstrating consistent commercial investment.

Kingsbury experiences about half the per capita building activity of Greater Melbourne, placing it in the 59th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide. Newly approved construction consists of 9.0% detached houses and 91.0% townhouses or apartments. This preference for medium and high-density formats provides more affordable options and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a distinct departure from the existing housing stock, which is currently 60.0% houses, showing a reduction in available development land alongside changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. The area registers roughly 308 people per single dwelling approval, suggesting capacity for further development. Moving forward, the population of Kingsbury is projected to rise by 7,864 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should the pace of construction remain unchanged, residential supply might fall short of population gains, potentially escalating competition among purchasers and reinforcing upward price trends.

Development approvals is a new addition to AreaSearch. We’re actively expanding council coverage and refining the dataset — details and statuses for some councils may be partial. Check back regularly for the latest pipeline.
Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 8 applications for Kingsbury, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

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 — 61 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,408 at the 2021 Census → 12,942 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (209021205). 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 Kingsbury 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 Kingsbury 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 Kingsbury 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.
