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.

Sales Detail
Parafield Gardens has an estimated 18,612 residents, up from 18,467 at the 2021 Census. That puts 2,648 residents on each 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 findings by AreaSearch, the population of Parafield Gardens is estimated at 18,612 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 145 individuals (0.8%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 18,467 residents. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 18,589 from June 2025 combined with 82 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The local population density stands at 2,647 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of all nationwide locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Over the last ten years, Parafield Gardens has shown steady development with a 1.0% compound annual growth rate, which is faster than the broader SA3 region.
This population increase was largely fueled by international migration, which represented approximately 74.0% of the total demographic gains in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024, using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. For SA2 regions lacking this data, and for any projections past 2032, population forecasts by age bracket from the SA State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 numbers are used, with adjustments made via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 scale. Looking ahead, demographic patterns suggest population gains slightly below the median of locations analyzed by AreaSearch, with the suburb projected to add 779 people by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total increase of 4.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
325 new dwellings have been approved in Parafield Gardens over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That is 3.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 85% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 100, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Approvals for new dwellings in Parafield Gardens have run at an annual average of about 65, with 325 residential properties approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 92 during FY-26 so far. Because the population has contracted in recent years, the incoming supply has likely matched local demand, giving buyers plenty of options, while new constructions have an average estimated cost of $155,000—below the wider regional average—indicating highly accessible options for home buyers. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $13.6 million this financial year, pointing to steady business development in the locality.
When compared to Greater Adelaide, Parafield Gardens has a matching per capita rate of residential construction, keeping the local market in line with nearby districts. However, this rate is lower than the nationwide average, indicating a mature market and highlighting possible development restrictions. Standalone houses account for 85.0% of new residential projects, while townhouses or apartments make up the remaining 15.0%, preserving a suburban profile dominated by family residences for those who want larger blocks. With roughly 477 residents per approved dwelling, the market in Parafield Gardens is highly established. Demographic forecasts indicate that Parafield Gardens will gain 756 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If current building rates persist, the supply of new housing is poised to easily satisfy demand, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating growth that exceeds current population forecasts.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,131, about 81% 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
The workforce of Parafield Gardens features diverse vocational skills, with a notable presence in manufacturing and industrial areas, an unemployment rate of 6.1%, and steady employment levels over the previous year. In March 2026, there were 8,424 employed locals, with the unemployment rate tracking 2.3% higher than the Greater Adelaide level of 3.8%. Additionally, labor force participation is low at 59.8% compared to 66.6% across Greater Adelaide. Census statistics show that only 5.4% of employed residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 health restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The suburb displays a strong concentration in manufacturing, where employment is 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented at 3.6% compared to the regional average of 7.3%. Because it is a mostly residential suburb, local employment opportunities appear limited, as seen in the disparity between the Census working population and resident population counts. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the area experienced a 0.5% rise in employment alongside a 1.0% expansion of the labor force over the 12-month period, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.5 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Adelaide recorded a 4.2% increase in employment, a 4.0% increase in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. Future trends in Parafield Gardens can be analyzed using the May-25 five and ten-year national employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia. These national projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future patterns. Across Australia, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary greatly by industry sector. Mapping these industry-specific projections to the local employment mix suggests that employment for Parafield Gardens residents will grow by 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (this represents a simple weighted calculation for illustration and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 — 82 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,467 at the 2021 Census → 18,612 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 May 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (402041043). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
