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
According to AreaSearch, there are approximately 18,527 people living in Hope Valley - Modbury as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,031 residents (5.9%) from the 17,496 citizens counted in the 2021 Census. The updated figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 18,424 combined with 625 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The local population density stands at 1,797 persons per square kilometer, a concentration that exceeds the norm across typical national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. This 5.9% expansion rate since the 2021 census was quicker than the 4.1% recorded across the broader SA3 region, positioning the locality as a leader in regional growth.
The upward trend was almost entirely underpinned by arrival numbers from overseas migration, which served as the exclusive driver of gains over recent timeframes. Projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 as a base year are utilised for each SA2 region. In instances where SA2 level details are unavailable, or for periods extending beyond 2032, calculations integrate the SA State Government's 2023 age-specific regional and LGA forecasts built on 2021 data, adjusted via a weighted aggregation methodology from LGA down to SA2 zones. Looking ahead, future population expansion is set to track slightly below the midpoint of all regions reviewed by AreaSearch, with the local population projected to increase by 2,208 individuals by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a total growth rate of 11.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
969 new dwellings have been approved in Hope Valley - Modbury over the past five years, an average of 193 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 147 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 69% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Hope Valley - Modbury has averaged approximately 193 residential development approvals annually, representing a total of 969 new dwellings over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26148 building approvals have been logged. Because only 0.8 additional residents relocated to the district for every new home constructed over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential supply is keeping pace with or outstripping local demand, which increases options for buyers and supports the capacity for population gains ahead of official projections. New dwellings carry an average building cost of $220,000, which sits below regional averages and indicates more economical entry points for buyers.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $74.1 million so far this financial year, pointing to robust commercial investment locally. Compared against the wider Greater Adelaide region, residential approvals on a per capita basis in Hope Valley - Modbury are 129.0% higher, offering purchasers a wider range of options. Development intensity is well above the national benchmark, pointing to strong developer interest. The composition of new residential approvals consists of 69.0% standalone houses and 31.0% medium and high-density projects, showing a growing variety of semi-detached options that cater to different budgets, ranging from large family residences to compact layouts. Given the ratio of approximately 107 people per approval, the locality presents characteristics of a low density area. Long-term forecasts indicate that Hope Valley - Modbury will gain 2,104 residents by 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projections. Provided current building volumes continue, housing stock should sufficiently satisfy demand, which will support buyer-friendly conditions and potentially facilitate demographic expansion that surpasses baseline predictions.

8,903 residents of Hope Valley - Modbury are employed, from a labour force of 9,211. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 59.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 workforce is characterized by solid skills and a strong presence in vital service industries, alongside an unemployment rate of just 3.3% and estimated employment growth of 0.6% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 8,903 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 0.5% lower than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8%. However, the participation rate of 59.1% is notably lower than the 66.6% average for Greater Adelaide. Census records show that a modest 8.9% of the local workforce worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of pandemic lockdown restrictions.
Local workers are primarily employed in healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The district exhibits a pronounced concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, with its employment share reaching 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are less common, accounting for 6.2% of employment compared to 7.3% across the wider region. A ratio of 0.7 jobs for every resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher level of local employment opportunities than is typical. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics for the year ending March 2026, local employment grew by 0.6% and the labor force expanded by 1.0%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Greater Adelaide, employment rose by 4.2%, the labor force expanded by 4.0%, and unemployment decreased by 0.2 percentage points. To understand future trends, national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 were compared with local workforce profiles. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary by industry. Applying these national sector forecasts to the Hope Valley - Modbury job profile suggests local employment could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 625 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (17,496 at the 2021 Census → 18,527 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 May 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 (402051052). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
