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.

Detail
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Plympton stands at approximately 28,679 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,199 residents (8.3%) from the 2021 Census, when the headcount was 26,480. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 28,617 alongside 328 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Plympton features a density of 2,680 persons per square kilometer, placing it within the highest quartile among the national areas assessed by AreaSearch. The area's 8.3% increase since the 2021 census outpaced the state (7.5%) and the corresponding SA3 region, positioning Plympton as a local leader in growth.
Overseas migration was the primary catalyst, accounts for roughly 95.2% of the overall population rise in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for each SA2 locality. For any SA2 region lacking this data, and for all years after 2032, regional and LGA projections by age group released by the SA State Government in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are integrated using a weighted aggregation method to scale LGA growth up to SA2 levels. Based on these demographic forecasts, the district is set to experience population growth above the national median, with projections indicating an increase of 6,526 residents to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which translates to a total rise of 22.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,040 new dwellings have been approved in Plympton over the past five years, an average of 208 a year. That places the area in the 85th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 163 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 40% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 291, 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
Plympton has maintained an average of approximately 208 residential building approvals annually, resulting in a total of 1,040 new dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 267 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.8 new occupants per built dwelling each year over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand and supply appear to be in equilibrium, promoting a stable market, while the average construction cost for these new homes is $257,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $116.5 million in the current financial year, highlighting strong local business investment.
Relative to Greater Adelaide, building activity in Plympton is somewhat elevated, running 18.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period, which provides buyers with choices while anchoring local property values. Of the recent construction projects, 40.0% are standalone houses, while 60.0% consist of townhouses or units. This emphasis on higher-density housing provides affordable entry points and draws interest from downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend represents a notable shift away from the current housing stock (of which 58.0% are houses), indicating a decline in available land and matching modern lifestyle changes and affordability challenges. The ratio of population to building approvals stands at approximately 154 people per dwelling approval, showing a growing market. Looking forward, Plympton is projected to add 6,464 residents up to 2041 based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Residential construction is keeping up reasonably well with this projected growth, though purchasers may experience heightened competition as the local population increases.

17,607 residents of Plympton are employed, from a labour force of 17,961. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 73.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Plympton possesses a highly educated workforce with strong representation in critical services, an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, and an estimated job growth rate of 6.9% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 17,607, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.9% below the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%. Additionally, labor force participation is exceptionally high at 73.1%, compared to 66.6% in Greater Adelaide. The Census data indicates that a modest 10.6% of residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for only 5.2% of the local workforce, which is lower than the Greater Adelaide figure of 7.0%. Comparing the Census count of working residents against local job numbers suggests that a significant portion of the population travels outside the area for employment. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the count of employed residents rose by 6.9% and the labor force expanded by 6.0%, leading to a 0.8 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Greater Adelaide, employment increased by 4.2%, the labor force grew by 4.0%, and unemployment decreased by 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future employment trends in Plympton. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to map out potential growth. Locally, applying these industry-level projections suggests employment could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, noting that this simple weighted extrapolation does not incorporate local population projections.

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 — 328 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (26,480 at the 2021 Census → 28,679 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.
