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
Aberfoyle Park has an estimated 11,785 residents, down from 11,911 at the 2021 Census — a change of 126 people, or 1.1%. That puts 852 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 Aberfoyle Park stands at approximately 11,785 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 11,911 people documented in the 2021 Census, this represents a reduction of 126 people (1.1%). This figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 11,778 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 9 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The resulting population density is 851 persons per square kilometer, a figure broadly consistent with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch study locations. Inward migration from overseas served as the primary demographic driver, representing virtually the entire source of population additions in recent times.
Projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 utilizing 2022 as a base year are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For SA2 divisions lacking this coverage, as well as all projections beyond 2032, figures draw upon the South Australian State Government's Regional and LGA age-cohort projections released in 2023 from 2021 data, adjusted via weighted aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Long-term demographic modeling indicates growth tracking marginally beneath national median rates, with local numbers projected to expand by 980 persons to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, amounting to an overall increase of 8.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Aberfoyle Park over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 1.0 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 permissions in Aberfoyle Park average approximately 12 dwellings per year, culminating in 61 homes approved throughout the latest 5 financial years (spanning FY-22 to FY-26). In light of recent demographic contraction, this volume of building approvals has proven proportionately sufficient to benefit prospective purchasers, with construction carrying an average value of $342,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $20.8 million have been lodged during the current financial year, signaling moderate commercial activity. Relative to Greater Adelaide, building approval volumes in Aberfoyle Park are notably suppressed (80.0% below regional average per person).
Such limited additions to the housing stock frequently elevate pricing leverage and demand for existing stock. Output also trails nationwide benchmarks, underscoring the established nature of the suburb alongside possible planning constraints. Detached houses account for 92.0% of recent construction, while medium and high-density housing represents 8.0%, reinforcing the established low-density suburban landscape favored by families seeking spacious living. A ratio of 816 people in the area per dwelling approval highlights a tranquil, low-intensity construction pipeline. Demographic forecasts point to an influx of 973 residents across Aberfoyle Park by 2041 according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If current building rates continue unchanged, new dwelling delivery could fail to match population additions, potentially heightening competition among homebuyers and sustaining upward pressure on values.

6,812 residents of Aberfoyle Park are employed, from a labour force of 6,975. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 70.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,243, about 78% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. 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 labour force characterizes Aberfoyle Park, featuring substantial representation across key service industries, an unemployment rate of only 2.3%, and an estimated 6.0% annual expansion in employment. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 6,812, with the local jobless rate standing 1.5% below Greater Adelaide's 3.8% benchmark, while the 70.9% participation rate remains fairly typical against Greater Adelaide's 66.4%. Census figures revealed a modest 11.9% of the local workforce operating from home, an outcome that warrants consideration of Covid-19 restrictions at that time. The primary employment sectors absorbing local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
Conversely, accommodation & food demonstrates lower engagement, employing 5.2% of the Aberfoyle Park workforce versus 6.8% across Greater Adelaide. Comparisons between resident workers and local working population counts from the Census point to relatively constrained job opportunities situated directly within the suburb. According to an AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures, the period ending March 2026 saw employment rise by 6.0% and the labour force grow by 5.1%, leading to a 0.9 percentage point drop in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Adelaide experienced employment growth of 4.2%, labour force expansion of 4.0%, and an unemployment decline of 0.2 percentage points. Insights regarding prospective future demand in Aberfoyle Park can be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts dated Mar-26. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with the local employment composition to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sectoral forecasts are applied to Aberfoyle Park's job mix, local employment is expected to rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, noting that this represents a basic weighting extrapolation for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized population projections.

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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,911 at the 2021 Census → 11,785 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.
