This is the Victorian council, not any other Kingston. | Item | Kingston | | --- | --- | | Usual residents | 158,129 | | Median age (years) | 41 | | Families counted | 43,676 | | Private dwellings | 67,560 | | People per household | 2.5 | | Motor vehicles per dwelling | 1.8 | | Measure | Kingston | Victoria | | --- | --- | --- | | Separate houses | 58.8% (35,855) | 73.4% | | Flats or apartments | 15.0% (9,155) | 12.1% | | Bachelor degree or above | 31.1% (40,750) | 29.2% | | Professionals | 26.5% (21,568) | 25.0% | ### Aged 5 to 9 9,279 Kingston residents, 5.9%, were in this age band. ### Aged 0 to 4 There were 8,611 under-fives, or 5.4% of the population. ### Census in lockdown With Melbourne in lockdown on Census night, 30.0% of Kingston workers (24,383) worked from home; that share reflects the restrictions. QuickStats percentages are rounded and small counts are randomly adjusted by the bureau to protect privacy. We use each published value as it stands and never add categories up. Signature project ## Finding Saturday stations From the FY24-25 entries file we kept the 197 stations averaging at least 500 entries on a normal weekday. We labelled a station "Saturday-busy" if its Saturday average reached 80% of its weekday average: 15 do. Each station's features are the shares of its weekday entries in the file's five time bands. We trained logistic regression and tested every station while leaving it out of training. | Model | Accuracy | Saturday-busy found | False alarms | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Always say "no" | 92.4% | 0 of 15 | 0 | | Logistic regression, plain | 93.4% | 2 of 15 | 0 | | Logistic regression, balanced weights | 75.6% | 9 of 15 | 42 | | Station | Saturday-busy? | Plain score | Weighted score | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Southland | yes | 0.34 | 0.95 | | Mordialloc | yes | 0.06 | 0.44 | | Carrum | yes | 0.04 | 0.31 | | Moorabbin | no | 0.11 | 0.64 | | Edithvale | no | 0.11 | 0.63 | | Chelsea | no | 0.06 | 0.42 | | Westall | no | 0.06 | 0.41 | | Parkdale | no | 0.05 | 0.34 | | Aspendale | no | 0.05 | 0.33 | | Mentone | no | 0.03 | 0.21 | | Cheltenham | no | 0.03 | 0.19 | ### Accurate and useless The plain model beats the do-nothing answer by one point and flags no Kingston station at all. With 182 "no" stations to 15 "yes", the cheapest way to score well is to ignore the rare class. ### What weighting does Balanced weights count each rare example more, here about 6.6 times a common one. Recall rises from 2 of 15 to 9 of 15, and Southland jumps from 0.34 to 0.95. ### The price Weighting also flags 42 stations that are not Saturday-busy, Moorabbin and Edithvale among them, and still misses Carrum and Mordialloc. Only 9 of 51 alarms are right. ### No model wins on every number If missing a Saturday-busy station is costly, the weighted model is better. If false alarms are costly, the plain one is. On accuracy alone, the simple baseline is almost as good as either. Learners write down the cost of each mistake before choosing. Weekday time shares are a weak signal for Saturday use, which is why neither model is strong; that limit is part of the lesson. Station entries are departmental estimates rounded to the nearest 50, and which stations are in Kingston is our test against the ABS outline. Bonbeach falls below the 500-entry cut and is left out. How balanced weights work ## Making rare examples count The idea fits in one line: weight each class by the number of samples divided by twice that class's count. | Class | Stations | Weight per station | | --- | --- | --- | | Saturday-busy | 15 | about 6.6 | | Not Saturday-busy | 182 | about 0.54 | scikit-learn applies the same formula when class_weight is set to "balanced", n_samples divided by (n_classes times the class count). We wrote it by hand with NumPy so learners can see every step, then compare with the library. ### Primary age Sort a bag of mostly red counters with a few blue ones, and see why "always red" seems smart. ### Teenagers Train both models, draw the confusion tables, and argue which mistake matters more. ### Adults Re-check a work model built on rare events, such as faults or returns, with recall alongside accuracy. Kingston counts ## Kingston schools and stations From the 2025 school locations list and the metropolitan entries file. ### 30 government schools The 2025 list has 23 primary, 5 secondary and 2 specific-purpose government schools in Kingston. ### Twelve stations Twelve stations sit inside the council outline. Cheltenham was the busiest in FY24-25, with 717,500 entries. ### Back to school, 2027 Term 1 for Victorian government schools runs from Thursday 28 January to Thursday 25 March 2027. Council outline Figures use the ABS boundary of the City of Kingston, about 91.4 square kilometres. School addresses inside it include Cheltenham, Mentone, Mordialloc, Chelsea, Dingley Village and Patterson Lakes. Learning ladder ## From counters to class weights Rough starting points by age; the free lesson fine-tunes them. Ages 6 to 9 ### Coding with blocks Scratch games, sorting and simple patterns.

[Data Science Course](/courses/data-science-complete-masterclass-college)[AI and ML Masterclass](/courses/ai-ml-masterclass-complete-college)Coding and AI ## If AI tools train models automatically, what is left for Kingston learners? Deciding what "good" means, which no tool can do for you. Automated tools usually rank models by accuracy unless told otherwise. On this data that would pick the plain model, 93.4%, which never flags a Kingston station. Nothing in the output warns that the rare class has been ignored. A learner who has seen recall jump from 2 to 9 while false alarms reach 42 knows to ask which mistake is worse before any model is chosen. That question shapes everything that follows, including how an AI tool is set up. Kingston learners use AI tools well when they choose the measure that matters. The longer argument is in [why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026](/blog/is-coding-worth-learning-2026). Delivery ## Lessons for Kingston, online Every class runs on video, for learners in Mentone, Chelsea, Dingley Village or elsewhere in Kingston. ### Live and hands-on The learner shares their screen and builds while the teacher explains. ### Term-based plan Teaching tracks the Victorian term dates and breaks for holidays. ### No-fee first lesson A complete lesson free of charge, with a course suggestion afterwards. ### Level groups Fifteen to twenty learners at the same level, drawn from many suburbs. ### Two lessons a week Two fixed sessions weekly, about eight each month. ### India-based teachers A 4:45pm Kingston class is 11:15am India time under Melbourne daylight saving and 12:15pm once it ends.

FAQ ## Kingston AI and programming questions Questions from Kingston parents and adult learners. ### How many people live in the City of Kingston? The 2021 Census counted 158,129 residents in the City of Kingston, Victoria, with a median age of 41. ### What is an imbalanced data set? An imbalanced data set has one class much rarer than the other, such as 15 Saturday-busy stations among 197. Models then tend to ignore the rare class. ### What are class weights in machine learning? Class weights make mistakes on some classes count more during training. Balanced weights give each class equal total influence, so rare examples matter as much as common ones. ### Why is accuracy misleading for rare classes? When one answer is right 92.4% of the time, a model can score well by always giving it. Recall and precision show what happens to the rare cases. ### What age can children start learning AI? The ideas suit children from about seven through games and sorting. Training real models in Python usually starts around 13. ### Do you have data science classes for adults? Yes. Adults can learn data science and machine learning in groups or one to one. ### Do you teach in Kingston in person? No. Every class is live online; we have no office in Australia, and the phone number we list is Indian. ### How much do Kingston classes cost? The first lesson is free. Group classes cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, in groups of fifteen to twenty, and one-to-one classes cost USD 150 a month. You agree the course and time before paying. ### How are learners grouped? Into groups of fifteen to twenty by level and pace, not by age or suburb, with one-to-one lessons for anyone whose timing no group fits. ### Which Kingston station had the most entries in FY24-25? Cheltenham, with 717,500 entries, among the twelve stations inside the council outline by our calculation.
