Panorama

Panorama has seen population growth performance typically on par with national averages when looking at short and medium term trends

Panorama's population, as of Feb 2026, is approximately 9,143. This figure represents an increase of 668 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 8,475. The increase is inferred from ABS estimates: Panorama had 8,987 residents in June 2024 and gained 67 new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density of 1,592 persons per square kilometer, higher than the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Panorama's growth rate of 7.9% since 2021 exceeded that of its SA3 area (5.0%) and SA4 region, making it a growth leader in the region. Overseas migration contributed approximately 78.8% to recent population gains.

For projections, AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia figures released in 2024 with a base year of 2022 for each SA2 area; for other areas and years post-2032, it adopts the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 based on 2021 data. Future demographic trends suggest Panorama will have an above median population growth, with projections indicating an increase of 1,872 persons to 2041, reflecting an 18.8% total increase over the 17 years.
