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
Roxby Downs has an estimated 4,089 residents, up from 3,976 at the 2021 Census — a change of 113 people, or 2.8%. Density is about 14 people per 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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Roxby Downs is approximately 4,089 as of May 2026. This indicates an increase of 113 residents (2.8%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,976 people. This shift is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 4,089 in June 2025 alongside an additional 12 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density ratio of 14.2 persons per square kilometer, which represents a spacious distribution. The 2.8% growth rate since the census is within 1.1 percentage points of the wider SA3 region (3.9%), showing solid growth indicators.
This expansion was driven mostly by natural growth, which accounted for roughly 62.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilised for each SA2 region. For SA2 territories omitted from this dataset, and for any years after 2032, calculations incorporate the SA State Government's Regional and LGA age-specific projections released in 2023 and grounded in 2021 data, adapted via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 scales. Future population outlooks under this approach point to a downward trend, with the overall population of the locality forecast to contract by 214 persons by 2041. Conversely, expansion is projected in certain age brackets, particularly the 45 to 54 cohort, which is expected to rise by 62 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential development in Roxby Downs is very low, with fewer than 1 new dwellings approved on average each year, totaling 3 approvals over a five-year timeframe. This quiet construction landscape highlights the rural character of the area, where building projects are generally prompted by specific local housing requirements rather than broad market momentum. Because of these low volumes, annual growth rates and comparative shifts can show wide fluctuations due to individual projects. Roxby Downs records building activity levels that are far below those of Rest of SA, and these figures also trail national averages.
Faced with flat or shrinking population projections, buyers in Roxby Downs could benefit from reduced housing pressure and more favorable market conditions.

Roxby Downs Area School Refurbishment
$7 million facility upgrade including refurbishment of four buildings with general learning areas, teacher preparation and breakout spaces, refreshed food technology areas, soundproofed music and drama studios, a new amphitheatre for open-air performances, broader landscaped outdoor learning areas, and a nature playground integrated with the desert landscape. The project reached completion in December 2021 and was officially opened in June 2024.
Olympic Dam Underground Growth Projects
A series of growth-enabling underground mining and processing projects representing an A$840 million investment by BHP at Olympic Dam in South Australia. Key elements include: a new underground access decline into the Southern Mine Area to improve access and streamline transport of people and equipment; a new paste backfill delivery system using underground pipes to stabilise mined areas and unlock previously inaccessible ore sections; expansion of ore pass capacity with 6 new locomotives and an extended underground electric rail network from 4.85 km to over 6 km; and installation of a new oxygen plant to support smelter debottlenecking, targeting an increase in copper concentrate smelting rates from 80 to 85 tonnes per hour.Together these projects underpin BHP's strategy to grow Copper SA annual output from 1.7 million to 2.5 million tonnes. Approximately 200 construction jobs are being created.
Olympic Dam Smelter Refinery Expansion Project
BHP Olympic Dam Corporation Pty Ltd proposes to expand smelting and refining activities at Olympic Dam as part of Copper South Australia growth. The project would lift smelting and refinery capacity from about 200,000 tonnes per annum of copper cathode and associated products to up to 650,000 tonnes per annum, including a second smelter furnace, repurposing of the existing Direct-to-Blister Flash Furnace, refinery extensions, water infrastructure linked to Northern Water, and electricity transmission upgrades. The South Australian impact-assessed development process is underway, with EIS assessment requirements approved on 5 November 2025 and the EIS pending.BHP has also awarded staged EPCM work to a Fluor and Hatch joint venture while the project progresses toward final investment decisions.
Oak Dam Underground Access Project
Advanced exploration project to establish underground access via twin declines to the deep iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineralised system at Oak Dam, located on Kokatha country. The project is designed to enable efficient underground drilling for resource definition and geotechnical characterisation. Surface infrastructure includes an exploration village capable of housing 150 personnel, core processing facilities, and the use of up to 14 drill rigs. The project scope includes bulk earthworks, box cut construction, non-process infrastructure, and decline development operations.
Woomera Redevelopment Program
The project involves redeveloping the Airforce's Woomera Range Complex using a Managing Contractor model. Scope includes refurbishment and upgrades across Base Sector North (technical area and airfield, including hangars, aprons, taxiways, roads, ordnance loading areas, headquarters, workshops, and infrastructure like water, power, sewer, firefighting, communications, drainage, lighting), Base Sector West (living accommodations, headquarters, syndicate room, dining facility, and infrastructure), and Base Sector South - Woomera Village (new accommodations, social and community facilities, and upgraded infrastructure including power, wastewater treatment, communications, water, firefighting, drainage, erosion control, irrigation).Also includes demolition of redundant facilities.
Northern Water Supply Project
The Northern Water Supply Project is a transformational water infrastructure initiative to enhance water security in Far North South Australia. The project involves construction of a seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant at Cape Hardy in the Spencer Gulf with up to 260 megalitres per day capacity, connected by a 600-kilometre pipeline network to the Upper Spencer Gulf and Far North regions. The project aims to service mining operations, industry (including hydrogen), Department of Defence, remote communities, pastoralists and SA Water, reducing reliance on the Great Artesian Basin, River Murray and local groundwater resources.The main transfer pipeline will link Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Whyalla, Port Augusta, Woomera, Carapateena, Roxby Downs, Pimba, Oak Dam and Olympic Dam. Supporting infrastructure includes pumping stations, large storage facilities, flow regulation valves, control facilities, and electricity transmission lines. The project supports the South Australian Government's Copper Strategy to triple copper production to 1 million tonnes per year by 2030 and enables growth in clean energy and hydrogen industries.
Gawler Craton Rail Access
The proposal is for a third party to build, own, and operate a 350 km railway in the Gawler Craton province, linking to the existing interstate rail network. It aims to provide significant transport connections to mines such as Prominent Hill, Olympic Dam, and Carrapateena, and open up other potential reserves including Wirrda Well, Acropolis, Vulcan, Titan, and Millers Creek. The project could facilitate exploration and development in the remote mineral region, which contains extensive copper, gold, silver, and iron ore deposits.
Joy Baluch AM Bridge Duplication
Duplication of the Joy Baluch AM Bridge to improve road safety and efficiency for all users, improve freight productivity, and improve the resilience of this critical road link. It will also address the current bridge speed restrictions and safety for people walking or cycling across the bridge. The project is part of the Port Wakefield to Port Augusta (PW2PA) Regional Projects Alliance. The duplication of the bridge is an important link in the National Land Transport Network at Port Augusta.
2,636 residents of Roxby Downs are employed, from a labour force of 2,677. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 87.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,944, about 145% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Roxby Downs maintains a highly capable workforce with a strong presence of industrial and manufacturing activities, and an unemployment rate of only 1.5%. In March 2026, there were 2,636 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 3.9% lower than the 5.5% recorded in Regional SA. The labor participation rate is exceptionally high at 87.1% compared to 58.4% in Regional SA. Census data indicated that only 3.4% of employed residents worked from home, though the influence of pandemic lockdowns should be kept in mind. The primary employment sectors for local workers are mining, construction, and accommodation & food.
The locality features an intense concentration in mining, where employment levels reach 17.6 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is minimally represented at 0.2% compared to the regional average of 14.5%. Hosting 1.6 jobs for every resident at the time of the Census, the area operates as an employment center that draws workers from surrounding districts and supports more jobs than it has resident workers. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the workforce contracted by 2.2% over the 12-month timeframe, while overall employment dropped by 3.1%, resulting in a 0.9 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same period, Regional SA registered a 1.2% rise in employment and a 2.6% expansion in the labour force, alongside a 1.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment trends from Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future demand patterns in Roxby Downs. These projections, spanning five and ten years, are applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary greatly by sector. Projecting these national industry trends onto the specific job mix of Roxby Downs suggests local employment could rise by 4.1% over five years and 10.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for illustration that 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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,976 at the 2021 Census → 4,089 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 (406021143). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
