Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Panorama's population is around 9,044 as of Aug 2025. This reflects an increase of 569 people (6.7%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 8,475 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 8,987 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 52 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,575 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Panorama's 6.7% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (4.3%), along with the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 78.8% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Moving forward with demographic trends, an above median population growth of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is projected, with the area expected to increase by 1,872 persons to 2041 based on the latest population numbers, with an increase of 20.1% in total over the 17 years.
