Panorama

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

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Panorama's population is around 9,143 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 668 people (7.9%) 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 67 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 1,592 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Panorama's 7.9% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (5.0%) and the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, which 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. Regarding 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 by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 18.8% in total over the 17 years.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Panorama when compared nationally

Panorama has seen around 49 new homes approved each year, totalling 247 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 16 approvals have been recorded. With an average of 2.3 people per year moving to the area per new home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), suggesting solid demand that supports property values, new homes are being built at an average value of $268,000. There have also been $3.8 million in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating limited commercial development focus.

Relative to Greater Adelaide, Panorama shows 68.0% higher new home approvals (per person), creating greater choice for buyers, though development activity has moderated in recent periods. New building activity shows 69.0% detached dwellings and 31.0% medium and high-density housing, with a growing mix of townhouses and apartments providing options across different price points, from family homes to more affordable compact living. At around 251 people per approval, Panorama reflects a transitioning market.

Looking ahead, Panorama is expected to grow by 1,716 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Building activity is keeping pace with growth projections, though buyers may experience heightened competition as the population grows.

AreaSearch analysis of employment trends sees Panorama performing better than 85% of local markets assessed across Australia

Panorama possesses a well-educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of just 2.1%, and 5.0% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of December 2025, 4,794 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.7% below Greater Adelaide's rate of 3.8%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (65.1% compared to Greater Adelaide's 67.2%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 13.8% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.

The key industries of employment among residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The area has a particular employment specialization in health care & social assistance, with an employment share of 1.2 times the regional level. On the other hand, manufacturing is under-represented, with only 5.2% of Panorama's workforce compared to 7.0% in Greater Adelaide. While local employment opportunities exist in the area, it appears many residents commute elsewhere for work, based on the count of Census working population to local population.

Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, during the year to December 2025, employment levels increased by 5.0% and the labour force increased by 4.5%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 0.4 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Adelaide experienced employment growth of 4.2% and labour force growth of 3.9%, with a 0.3 percentage point drop. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Panorama. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Panorama's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 7.0% over five years and 14.6% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

The area's income profile falls below national averages based on AreaSearch analysis

The Panorama SA2 shows a median taxpayer income of $53,680 and an average of $64,871 according to the latest postcode level ATO data aggregated by AreaSearch for FY-23. This is lower than average on a national basis, contrasting with Greater Adelaide's median income of $54,808 and average income of $66,852. Based on Wage Price Index growth of 8.8% since FY-23, current estimates would be approximately $58,404 (median) and $70,580 (average) as of September 2025. Census data reveals household, family and personal incomes all rank modestly in Panorama, between the 36th and 40th percentiles. Distribution data shows 30.6% of the population (2,797 individuals) fall within the $1,500 - 2,999 income range, consistent with broader trends across the surrounding region showing 31.8% in the same category. Housing affordability pressures are severe, with only 84.7% of income remaining, ranking at the 38th percentile and the area's SEIFA income ranking places it in the 6th decile.
