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 latest demographic assessment, the resident population within St Peters - Marden has reached approximately 14,517 as of May 2026. This representing an expansion of 1,002 people (7.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 13,515 people. The updated estimate is calculated using the official ABS estimated resident population of 14,481 recorded in June 2025 alongside 92 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level translates to a density of 2,427 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quarter of all evaluated Australian areas.
The post-census growth rate of 7.4% is within 0.1 percentage points of the wider state average (7.5%), showing highly competitive expansion dynamics. Net gains in local residency were predominantly driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 93.5% of all population increases in recent times. This profile utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as their baseline year. For geographic units where this data is unavailable, or for periods extending past 2032, regional and LGA projections categorized by age bracket from the SA State Government (published in 2023 using 2021 baseline data) are applied via a population-weighted aggregation method from LGA to SA2 scale. Long-term trends indicate that population growth will occur at a pace slightly below the national median, with the local area projected to add 1,464 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total expansion of 9.8% over the 16 years.

8,503 residents of St Peters - Marden are employed, from a labour force of 8,692. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 69.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% 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 local workforce in St Peters - Marden is highly qualified, featuring a strong concentration of professional service workers, a minimal unemployment rate of 2.2%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.5% over the prior year. By March 2026, the employed resident base stood at 8,503 individuals, with unemployment tracking 1.7% below the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%. The labor force participation rate is relatively typical, sitting at 69.5% compared to 66.6% across Greater Adelaide. Based on Census data, a moderate 14.0% of the working population operated from home, though this figure should be interpreted in light of COVID-19 restriction measures.
The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The area exhibits a notable concentration in professional & technical fields, with its employment share tracking at 1.8 times the regional proportion. On the other hand, construction is underrepresented, accounting for 5.9% of the local workforce compared to the regional benchmark of 8.7%. While there are local jobs available in the immediate vicinity, a comparison between the Census working population and the resident population suggests that a large proportion of workers travel to other areas for their employment. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS figures for the year ending March 2026, the number of employed residents grew by 5.5% while the overall labor force expanded by 5.1%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.3 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment expand by 4.2% and the labor force grow by 4.0%, while its unemployment rate dropped by 0.2 percentage points. Long-term employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective labor demand in St Peters - Marden. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce composition to project potential trends. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, with substantial variation across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of St Peters - Marden indicates that local employment would grow by 7.2% over five years and by 14.8% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for illustration that does not account for localized population changes.

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 — 92 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,515 at the 2021 Census → 14,517 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 (401051019). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
