Panorama

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

This figure represents a rise of 603 individuals, marking a 7.1% increase since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 8,475.

This results in a density ratio of 1,581 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Panorama's growth rate of 7.1% since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 area (4.4%) and the SA4 region, positioning it as a growth leader in the region. Overseas migration contributed approximately 78.8% to the overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, AreaSearch uses the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, with adjustments made via weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Looking ahead, demographic trends suggest above median population growth for statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch. By 2041, Panorama is projected to increase by 1,872 persons, reflecting a total increase of 19.6% over the 17-year period, based on the latest annual ERP population numbers.
