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
Fulham has an estimated 3,226 residents, up from 2,920 at the 2021 Census — a change of 306 people, or 10.5%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 50.8% of that increase. That puts 2,444 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
Demographic assessment by AreaSearch indicates that Fulham has reached a population of approximately 3,226 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,920 people, the community has expanded by 306 people (10.5%). This calculation relies upon an estimated resident population figure of 3,219 released by the ABS as of June 2025 alongside 13 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. With 2,443 persons per square kilometer, the locality falls within the top quartile for population density among national benchmarks assessed by AreaSearch. Fulham outpaced broader trends, as its 10.5% expansion rate exceeded both the SA3 area and the state (7.7%), establishing the suburb as a regional growth leader.
The primary catalyst behind these demographic gains was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 50.8% of recent population additions. Population modeling across each SA2 area utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as their baseline. Where data is absent or for periods beyond 2032, figures incorporate the SA State Government's Regional/LGA age-cohort projections from 2023 (utilizing 2021 data), adjusted by applying a weighted aggregation methodology from LGA to SA2 geographic scales. These projections point to demographic expansion above the national median, forecasting an influx of 479 persons through to 2041 relative to current annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 14.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
176 new dwellings have been approved in Fulham over the past five years, an average of 35 a year. That places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 35 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 89% 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 activity in Fulham has generated an average of roughly 35 new dwelling approvals each year, delivering 176 homes across the prior 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, an average of 1.8 people arrived annually for every home constructed over the past 5 financial years, signaling balanced supply-demand dynamics that foster stable conditions. Expected construction costs average $475,000 per dwelling, exceeding regional averages and demonstrating an emphasis on premium builds. Concurrently, commercial approvals reached $1.2 million during the current financial year, pointing to limited commercial building initiatives. On a per-capita basis, Fulham experiences 77.0% more construction activity than Greater Adelaide, offering prospective purchasers extensive options.
This volume markedly exceeds national benchmarks and underlines strong interest from property developers. Detached houses account for 89.0% of upcoming construction, with 11.0% dedicated to medium and high-density housing, thereby reinforcing the neighborhood's suburban fabric with dwellings catering to families seeking larger floor plans. Registering roughly 99 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical growth-area dynamics. According to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Fulham is projected to add 472 residents through to 2041. Present rates of residential construction appear well positioned to absorb this anticipated housing demand comfortably, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions while potentially facilitating population increases above current forecasts.

1,757 residents of Fulham are employed, from a labour force of 1,788. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 66.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,617, 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
The local labour market features a highly educated demographic and robust representation across essential services, underpinned by an unemployment rate of only 1.7% alongside a 7.0% increase in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 1,757. The unemployment level sits 2.1% lower than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8%, whereas participation rates closely mirror Greater Adelaide's 66.4%. Census figures showed a modest 11.7% of workers operating from home, though this may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Health care & social assistance, construction, and education & training represent the primary fields of employment for local workers.
In particular, construction displays pronounced concentration, claiming an employment proportion 1.2 times greater than the regional benchmark. Conversely, administrative & support accounts for only 2.4% of the workforce, trailing the 4.0% recorded across Greater Adelaide. Comparing Census working population counts against resident numbers indicates that local employment opportunities remain somewhat constrained within this predominantly residential area. AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS and SALM figures reveals that over the year to March 2026, Fulham's employment rose by 7.0% while its labour pool grew by 6.0%, driving a 0.9 percentage point drop in the jobless rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment and labour supply expand by 4.2% and 4.0% respectively, with unemployment declining by 0.2 percentage points. Longer-term trajectories can be evaluated via Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, total employment is anticipated to climb by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by industry. Weighting these projections by Fulham's existing sector composition suggests local workforce expansion of 6.7% across five years and 13.9% across ten years (serving as an illustrative extrapolation that excludes localized 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 — 13 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,920 at the 2021 Census → 3,226 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.
