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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of Craigmore - Blakeview stands at approximately 21,467 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,547 people (7.8%) compared to the 19,920 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment draws upon ABS figures establishing an estimated resident population of 21,288 as of June 2025 alongside 211 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The local population density reaches 1,807 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical benchmarks observed across AreaSearch's national evaluations. With its 7.8% rate of expansion since the 2021 census surpassing the 7.7% state figure, the district stands out as a regional growth frontrunner.
Incoming overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 50.4% of total population increases over recent times, supported further by positive contributions from natural growth and interstate arrivals. Projections utilize the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset established on a 2022 baseline for each SA2 district. Where coverage gaps exist or timeframes extend past 2032, models incorporate the SA State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA age-profile projections (derived from 2021 data) converted to SA2 boundaries via weighted population aggregation. Long-range demographic modelling positions the locality within the upper quartile nationally for expansion, forecasting an addition of 6,612 persons by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP baselines, translating to an overall growth rate of 30.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
268 new dwellings have been approved in Craigmore - Blakeview over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 54 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% 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 Craigmore - Blakeview have maintained a pace of roughly 53 dwellings per annum, culminating in 268 homes over the past 5 financial years. The ratio of 5 new residents added yearly per completed home between FY-22 and FY-26 underscores structural undersupply relative to underlying demand, an imbalance that typically fosters upward price movement and heightened market rivalry. Furthermore, new homes average an estimated construction cost of $301,000, sitting below regional benchmarks to deliver relatively attainable entry points for buyers. Commercial real estate pipelines have also recorded $17.1 million in approvals during this financial year, reflecting steady non-residential capital inflow.
Per capita construction activity in Craigmore - Blakeview sits 86.0% below the Greater Adelaide norm. Such subdued additions to housing stock generally reinforce values and demand across established homes. This subdued building rate also falls behind nationwide levels, highlighting the mature suburban layout of the district and potential town planning constraints. Detached houses constitute 96.0% of recent construction while townhouses or apartments make up 4.0%, preserving a low-density suburban fabric catering to buyers seeking spacious family residences. A ratio of roughly 392 people per approval further reinforces the established profile of the local market. Projections derived from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate anticipate the Craigmore - Blakeview population expanding by 6,433 residents through to 2041. Should current building rates persist, residential deliveries could fail to match population expansion, which may intensify competition among purchasers and sustain upward momentum in property prices.

10,759 residents of Craigmore - Blakeview are employed, from a labour force of 11,362. Unemployment sits at 5.3%, with participation at 67.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 16,991, about 79% 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
The local labour market presents a balanced distribution across white-collar and blue-collar occupations alongside healthy representation across essential services, registering an unemployment rate of 5.3% amidst stable conditions over the past twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents count 10,759, while the local jobless rate sits 1.5% above the 3.8% recorded for Greater Adelaide, accompanied by an overall labour participation rate mirroring Greater Adelaide's 66.4%. Census figures showed a modest 6.0% of working locals operating from home, an observation influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. Workforce participation is concentrated most heavily in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing.
The manufacturing sector shows substantial local clustering, employing a share of the workforce 1.5 times higher than regional proportions. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 2.8% of employment locally versus 7.3% across the wider region. Comparisons between the working population tally and total resident workforce indicate that the predominantly residential neighbourhood provides relatively few jobs within its immediate boundaries. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics shows that throughout the 12 months to March 2026, resident employment edged up by 0.1% while total labour supply grew by 1.0%, lifting local unemployment by 0.9 percentage points. Across Greater Adelaide, employment increased by 4.2% and the labour force rose 4.0%, contributing to a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. Looking ahead, national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide context regarding future labour trends. Mapping these five and ten-year national projections—which anticipate nationwide workforce gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—against the local occupational structure indicates expected local employment expansion of 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (calculated as an illustrative weighted baseline without factoring in localised demographic 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 — 211 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (19,920 at the 2021 Census → 21,467 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (402021028). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
