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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Largs Bay - Semaphore is estimated to be 15,778 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 971 people (6.6%) from the 14,807 people recorded during the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 15,765 from June 2025 alongside 298 validated new addresses identified since the Census. With these figures, the density of the area stands at 2,347 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the top quarter of all Australian locations analyzed.
The 6.6% post-census growth rate of Largs Bay - Semaphore is within 0.9 percentage points of the 7.5% state average, indicating competitive expansion. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this population growth, accounting for approximately 65.3% of the total demographic increase in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized for each SA2 region. For SA2 areas lacking this data, as well as for the period after 2032, regional and LGA projections by age group released by the SA State Government in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are applied, adjusted using a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Future demographic patterns suggest a population rise slightly below the national median, with the locality projected to add 1,084 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 6.8% over the 16 years.

Detail
On average, Largs Bay - Semaphore has recorded about 89 new residential approvals annually, totaling 446 dwelling approvals over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 173 during FY-26 so far. With an average of 1.8 new residents moving in per approved home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is closely aligned with demand, supporting a balanced market, with new dwellings being built at an average cost of $271,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $14.9 million have been logged in the current financial year, indicating a moderate level of business development.
In comparison to Greater Adelaide, the per capita rate of new residential approvals in Largs Bay - Semaphore is roughly three-quarters as high, placing it in the 65th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide. Recent construction activity consists of 34.0% detached dwellings and 66.0% attached dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density housing options provides more affordable paths to entry, drawing downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the established housing stock (which currently stands at 70.0% houses), pointing to a scarcity of greenfield development sites and responding to changing preferences and affordability constraints. Reflecting a growing market, Largs Bay - Semaphore averages approximately 286 people for every approved dwelling. Demographic projections indicate that Largs Bay - Semaphore is set to add 1,071 residents by 2041 (compared against the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch). Under current building trends, the incoming supply of housing should easily satisfy this demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially allowing population growth to surpass existing forecasts.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,648, about 80% 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
Largs Bay - Semaphore features a qualified workforce with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, and an estimated job growth rate of 7.8% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 9,447 employed residents, and the unemployment rate sat 1.1% below the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide. Furthermore, labor force participation is high at 71.9%, compared to the Greater Adelaide average of 66.6%. According to Census data, a modest 10.8% of residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, and education & training. Public administration & safety is highly concentrated in the area, with an employment share that is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a lower representation locally at 16.4% compared to 17.7% across the region. Comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that this predominantly residential suburb offers few local employment opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 7.8% and the labor force expanded by 6.1%, which led to a 1.6 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate. By comparison, employment in Greater Adelaide grew by 4.2%, the labor force expanded by 4.0%, and the unemployment rate declined by 0.2 percentage points. Five- and ten-year national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Largs Bay - Semaphore. These figures have been applied to the local workforce composition to estimate growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment structure indicates that employment in Largs Bay - Semaphore would grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (assuming a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration that does not account for local population changes).

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 — 298 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (14,807 at the 2021 Census → 15,778 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.
