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.

Moonta has an estimated 5,904 residents, up from 5,217 at the 2021 Census — a change of 687 people, or 13.2%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 80% of areas nationally. 187 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 91.9% of that increase. Density is about 22 people per 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 conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Moonta reaches approximately 5,904 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 5,217 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 687 people (13.2%). This progression is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,858 as of June 2025 alongside 187 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With this demographic scale, the locality records a population density of 21 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious living environment. The community's 13.2% expansion rate from the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of SA (6.2%) as well as the overarching SA4 region, positioning it at the forefront of regional growth.
Interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 91.9% of total demographic additions over recent timeframes. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as a base year, are utilized by AreaSearch across individual SA2 boundaries. Where local coverage is absent or for periods following 2032, figures from the SA State Government's 2023 release of Regional/LGA age-cohort projections (benchmarked to 2021) are applied through weighted aggregation adjustments from LGA down to SA2 zones. Looking ahead, future population increases are projected slightly under the national non-metropolitan median, with the locality slated to gain 470 persons by 2041 under latest annual ERP data, translating to an overall expansion of 7.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
430 new dwellings have been approved in Moonta over the past five years, an average of 86 a year. That places the area in the 81st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 15 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 86 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% 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 in Moonta have tracked at roughly 86 dwellings annually, totaling 430 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Given that construction supported an intake of 1.5 new residents per year per dwelling over those same past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), housing delivery aligns closely with local demand to sustain market stability, with new residences yielding an average expected build cost of $355,000. Additionally, commercial building activity recorded $4.4 million in approvals during this financial year, reflecting a modest non-residential pipeline.
Moonta exhibits heightened building activity when compared to Rest of SA (tracking 45.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), supporting both prospective purchaser options and established asset valuations. This volume sits well above national benchmarks, demonstrating substantial development appetite. Standalone houses accounted for 97.0% of recent builds while 3.0% were attached dwellings, reinforcing low-density neighborhood character centered on spacious detached family living. Generating roughly one approval per 76 people, Moonta demonstrates consistent development momentum. Moving forward, Moonta is projected to absorb 424 residents up to 2041 based on AreaSearch's latest quarterly calculations. Provided that current construction velocity persists, residential supply appears positioned to satisfy emerging demand, fostering positive conditions for home purchasers and potentially facilitating growth above established baseline projections.

2,060 residents of Moonta are employed, from a labour force of 2,183. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, with participation at 41.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 5,378, about 91% 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
Moonta maintains a diverse workforce composition spanning both professional and vocational occupations alongside substantial representation in public and social services, operating with a 5.6% unemployment rate and 4.8% annual job expansion. As of March 2026, employed locals tally 2,060, with joblessness tracking 0.2% above the 5.5% registered across Regional SA, while the participation rate of 41.7% trails the 58.3% recorded for Regional SA. Census returns indicated that just 9.1% of workers carried out duties from home, a metric that may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors across the local population comprise health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Workforce concentration is especially pronounced within health care & social assistance, where staffing ratios track at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 6.7% of resident employment, falling well short of the 14.5% seen across Regional SA. A comparison of Census workplace employment against resident workforce numbers indicates relatively constrained local job capacity. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM figures indicates that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 4.8% and the local labor pool expanded by 3.6%, which lowered the unemployment rate by 1.1 percentage points. In contrast, Regional SA experienced a 1.2% lift in employment, a 2.6% increase in the labor force, and a 1.4 percentage points rise in unemployment. Forward-looking occupational outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context on potential workforce trajectories in Moonta. Mapped across the area's existing industrial profile across five and ten-year intervals, these national models anticipate overall employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector trajectories vary widely. Extrapolating these industry trends against Moonta's current staffing mix indicates potential local employment increases of 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (calculated via simple weighting for demonstration without incorporating localized population forecasts).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Moonta is $965 a week (about $50,000 a year), with median personal income at $536 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $44,340 a year against an average of $56,304. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
ATO taxation statistics for financial year 2023 at the postcode level evaluated by AreaSearch show that earnings throughout the Moonta SA2 trail broader Australian benchmarks, recording a median of $44,340 and an average of $56,304. By comparison, Regional SA registered a median income of $48,920 alongside an average of $58,933. Accounting for a 10.17% Wage Price Index lift since financial year 2023, updated estimates reach roughly $48,849 (median) and $62,030 (average) as of March 2026. Across the 2021 Census, personal, family, and household earning metrics in Moonta sat between the 2nd and 5th percentiles nationally.
In terms of earnings tiers, the single largest cohort comprises 33.0% generating $400 - 799 weekly (1,948 residents), differing from the broader region where 27.5% fall into the $1,500 - 2,999 band. A large concentration of low-earning households (41.5% under $800/week) points to tight household balance sheets across the locality. Even though residential outlays are relatively modest with 87.3% of income retained, overall disposable financial capacity ranks at only the 5th percentile nationwide.

Getting around Moonta means driving: households keep an average of 1.4 vehicles, and scheduled services reach only a handful of stops. Service data is built from operators' published GTFS timetables; vehicle ownership is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Transit network mapping indicates 9 active transport stops in service across Moonta, coordinated over 4 individual routes delivering a combined total of 18 weekly passenger trips. Overall transport connectivity is relatively constrained, with local residents situated an average of 1167 meters from their closest boarding point.

Frequently Asked Questions - Diversity
The median resident of Moonta is 59, older than 98% of areas nationally. 14.7% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
The demographic makeup of Moonta leans heavily toward older residents. Based on updated August 2026 figures, retiree and elderly cohorts (65+) comprise 43.1% of the local population compared to 27.1% throughout Regional SA, whereas children and young adults (0 - 24) represent only 17.6% compared to 26.4% in the wider region. Consequently, the median age is estimated at 59, matching the 2021 Census figure, standing 12 years above the Regional SA median of 47 from that Census and well above the nationwide Census median of 38. The most significant structural demographic shift since the Census has occurred among retiree and elderly cohorts, expanding from 39.8% to an estimated 43.1%.

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 — 187 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,217 at the 2021 Census → 5,904 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.
