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
Blackwood has an estimated 13,874 residents, up from 12,963 at the 2021 Census — a change of 911 people, or 7.0%. Growth has averaged 1.5% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 61.8% of that increase. That puts 820 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 from AreaSearch, the resident count in Blackwood stands at approximately 13,874 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 911 people (7.0%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 12,963 people. This trend is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,858 as of June 2025 alongside 72 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. With 819 persons per square kilometer, population density matches typical levels observed across AreaSearch benchmark regions. Achieving 7.0% growth since the 2021 census, Blackwood outpaced both the broader SA4 region and the SA3 area (5.6%), establishing itself as an area growth frontrunner.
Net overseas migration served as the primary growth engine by generating roughly 61.8% of total net additions during recent periods, though interstate movement and natural increase also delivered positive contributions. Population projections for each SA2 area utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year). Where SA2 coverage is missing or for horizons beyond 2032, figures incorporate the SA State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA age-cohort projections (grounded in 2021 data), calibrated via a weighted population distribution methodology from LGA to SA2 boundaries. Anticipated demographic patterns point to an overall expansion tracking slightly below median rates among AreaSearch study areas, with local gains projected at 1,585 persons to 2041 under prevailing annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 11.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
231 new dwellings have been approved in Blackwood over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals across Blackwood have tracked at approximately 46 dwellings annually, generating 231 homes throughout the previous 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, approximately 4.3 people moved into the locality for every new residence completed across the past 5 financial years, creating a distinct imbalance where residential supply lags demand, intensifying market rivalry and putting upward pressure on real estate pricing. Approved homes exhibit an average building cost of $550,000, illustrating an emphasis by builders on upper-tier residential stock. Meanwhile, commercial construction approvals totaled $3.5 million this financial year, underlining the suburb's predominantly residential fabric.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Blackwood mirrors Greater Adelaide averages, sustaining steady alignment with the surrounding metropolitan area. However, development rates remain below national benchmarks, pointing to the suburb's established nature alongside potential local planning restrictions. Detached houses constitute 91.0% of recent construction while medium and high-density housing accounts for 9.0%, preserving suburban character through an emphasis on spacious family residences. A ratio of 356 people per approved dwelling underscores an environment characterized by subdued construction volume. Projections indicate that Blackwood will absorb an additional 1,569 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. While current residential construction tracks broadly in line with demographic projections, prospective purchasers could encounter tighter competition as local numbers expand.

7,947 residents of Blackwood are employed, from a labour force of 8,032. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 69.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,226, about 81% 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
Blackwood boasts a highly educated workforce, with professional services showing strong representation, an unemployment rate of just 1.1%, and 5.5% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of March 2026, 7,947 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 2.8% below Greater Adelaide's rate of 3.8%, and workforce participation is fairly standard (69.9% compared to Greater Adelaide's 66.4%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 17.4% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical services.
Blackwood displays notable specialization across education & training, where local representation is 1.5 times the wider regional proportion. Conversely, manufacturing comprises an underrepresented share, engaging 4.7% of local workers compared to 7.0% throughout Greater Adelaide. Given the disparity between the local Census working population and resident worker counts, this primarily residential suburb offers relatively few jobs within its borders. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that during the 12-month period, employment rose by 5.5% while the labour force grew by 5.1%, which led to a 0.4 percentage point decline in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Adelaide experienced employment growth of 4.2% and labour force expansion of 4.0%, with unemployment decreasing by 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia’s national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context for anticipated future demand in Blackwood. These projections span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid with the local employment structure to estimate 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 sector-specific forecasts are applied to Blackwood’s employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 7.1% over five years and by 14.5% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 72 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (12,963 at the 2021 Census → 13,874 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.
