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.

Salisbury has an estimated 19,206 residents, up from 18,594 at the 2021 Census — a change of 612 people, or 3.3%. 178 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,783 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
Salisbury has a population of approximately 19,206 as of May 2026, according to analysis by AreaSearch. Since the 2021 Census, which recorded 18,594 residents, this represents an expansion of 612 individuals (3.3%). This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 19,146 alongside 178 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The region's population density stands at 1,783 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical average of locations evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch. The post-census growth of 3.3% in Salisbury is within 0.6 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (3.9%), indicating strong local growth dynamics.
Most of this population rise was driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 90.3% of the overall population increases lately. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2. For areas lacking this coverage, and for projections beyond 2032, figures from the SA State Government's 2023 release (using 2021 baseline data) by age cohort are integrated by aggregating LGA-level growth up to SA2 boundaries via a weighted method. Future demographic indicators suggest expansion will trail just under the midpoint of national statistical regions, with the locality projected to add 801 residents by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 3.9% net rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
336 new dwellings have been approved in Salisbury over the past five years, an average of 67 a year. That places the area in the 54th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 53 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 75% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 220, 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
An average of roughly 67 residential building approvals are issued in Salisbury annually, yielding 336 new residences over the last 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 202 approvals have been registered. Given that just 0.9 new residents arrived for every new dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, residential development is keeping pace with or outstripping local demand, giving home buyers more choices and allowing for population growth that may outpace current models, while new properties average a construction cost of $201,000—a value below the broader regional standard—pointing to more budget-friendly choices for buyers.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $19.2 million this financial year, showing a modest rate of commercial expansion. Per capita development activity in Salisbury is closely aligned with Greater Adelaide, maintaining a balanced property market in line with nearby districts. This rate is lower than the nationwide average, reflecting a mature market and pointing to possible development limits. Housing additions comprise 75.0% detached houses and 25.0% townhouses or apartments, upholding the suburban character of the district with a preference for stand-alone houses suited for buyers wanting space. Salisbury is classified as a low density region, with roughly 237 people per approved dwelling. Projections indicate that Salisbury will gain 741 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. At the current pace of building, incoming housing stock should easily satisfy local requirements, creating favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling growth that exceeds current population estimates.

7,538 residents of Salisbury are employed, from a labour force of 8,389. Unemployment sits at 10.1%, with participation at 53.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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
The labor force in Salisbury is a mix of white-collar and blue-collar workers, with a notable presence of industrial and manufacturing activities, an unemployment rate of 10.1%, and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, 7,538 local residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 6.3% higher than the Greater Adelaide level of 3.8%, showing potential for gains, while labor force participation is lower (53.9% compared to 66.6% in Greater Adelaide). Census records show only 4.9% of residents worked from their homes, although this could have been influenced by COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are healthcare & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The local workforce is heavily concentrated in manufacturing, which has employment levels 1.8 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 3.0% of local jobs compared to 7.3% across the wider region. While there are local job opportunities, the ratio of Census workers to the local population indicates that many residents commute to other districts for employment. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS data, the year leading to March 2026 saw employment climb by 0.3% while the labor force expanded by 1.1%, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This trend diverges from Greater Adelaide, where employment increased by 4.2%, the labor force rose by 4.0%, and unemployment fell by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context on future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the expansion varies widely by sector. Projecting these industry-specific rates onto the local workforce suggests Salisbury's employment could grow by 5.9% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this weighting is a basic extrapolation for illustration and 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 — 178 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,594 at the 2021 Census → 19,206 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 (402041046). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
