Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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

For locations lacking this coverage or extending beyond 2032, figures incorporate the SA State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA age-cohort models based on 2021 data, applying weighted aggregation to translate LGA trajectories to SA2 boundaries. Long-term outlooks indicate expansion tracking slightly below the nationwide median for statistical zones, with the district anticipated to expand by 2,220 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP baselines, delivering an aggregate expansion of 11.3% over the 16 years.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

350 new dwellings have been approved in Salisbury East over the past five years, an average of 70 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 70 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Residential building approvals in Salisbury East have maintained a pace of roughly 70 new dwellings annually, accumulating to 350 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26 across the past 5 financial years, an average inflow of 2.1 new residents per approved home highlights sustained buyer interest supporting local asset prices, while newly sanctioned residential units carry an average construction value of $340,000. Additionally, non-residential activity saw $5.2 million in commercial approvals during the current financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential landscape of the precinct. Per-capita building figures in Salisbury East remain largely on par with Greater Adelaide, sustaining supply-demand balance alongside adjacent suburbs while experiencing heightened construction rates in recent times.

The composition of approved residential development is heavily weighted toward standalone houses at 91.0%, with medium and high-density housing accounting for the remaining 9.0%, thereby preserving the traditional low-density suburban profile suited for family living. Accounting for about 209 people per approval, the district clearly demonstrates low-density suburban characteristics. According to the newest quarterly figures from AreaSearch, demographic forecasts anticipate an influx of 2,181 residents by 2041 in Salisbury East. Current residential construction rates are keeping reasonable pace with this expected demographic surge, though prospective purchasers could encounter tighter market conditions as the local population base broadens.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Salisbury East

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

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 16,179, about 84% 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 labour market in Salisbury East comprises a balanced blend of white-collar and blue-collar professions, marked by substantial industrial and manufacturing representation, an unemployment rate of 5.6%, and relatively steady job numbers over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed locals number 9,044, while local joblessness exceeds the Greater Adelaide benchmark of 3.8% by 1.8%, with labour force participation (60.1%) sitting notably below the metropolitan standard of 66.4%. Additionally, Census responses revealed that just 6.5% of working residents carried out their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions during that period should be noted.

Local workers are concentrated primarily in health care & social assistance, construction, alongside retail trade. Manufacturing displays particular regional concentration, commanding an employment footprint 1.4 times greater than the wider metropolitan proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical sector represents a modest 4.1% of resident employment, compared with 7.3% across the wider region. Comparing the resident workforce against the count of local workplace positions recorded in Census records confirms that this residential suburb provides relatively few internal employment options. Examination of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch demonstrates that over the 12-month period, workforce numbers rose by 0.1% while total labour pool participation expanded by 1.0%, lifting the local unemployment rate by 0.8 percentage points. Across Greater Adelaide, employment advanced by 4.2% and the labour supply grew by 4.0%, which lowered joblessness by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking employment estimates published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide further perspective on anticipated industry hiring across Salisbury East. When mapped against the local occupational distribution, national five-year projected growth of 6.6% and ten-year expansion of 13.7% vary substantially by sector. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against Salisbury East's unique industry breakdown projects local workforce demand to rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (serving as an illustrative weighted extrapolation that excludes localized demographic 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 — 157 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (18,454 at the 2021 Census → 19,265 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 Aug 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 (402041047). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Salisbury East SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Salisbury East page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Salisbury East data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Oct 2025) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
