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
Toorak Gardens has an estimated 17,338 residents, up from 16,635 at the 2021 Census — a change of 703 people, or 4.2%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. 370 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 2,592 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Toorak Gardens stands at approximately 17,338 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 703 people (4.2%) compared to the 16,635 people tallied in the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 17,320 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 370 validated new addresses recognized post-Census. Consequently, the local density reaches 2,591 persons per square kilometer, placing the community within the top quarter among nationally evaluated districts. Furthermore, the 4.2% local expansion rate sits within 0.8 percentage points of the surrounding SA3 territory (5.0%), indicating solid demographic momentum that has been almost exclusively powered by incoming overseas arrivals.
Projections published in 2024 by Geoscience Australia and the ABS (utilizing 2022 as a base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries. For unmapped localities or timeframes beyond 2032, state authorities' 2023 Regional/LGA age-cohort models (anchored to 2021 numbers) are utilized via weighted aggregation converting LGA trends into SA2 equivalents. Anticipated growth sits marginally beneath the national statistical median, with expectations that the district will add 1,839 persons by 2041 relative to recent annual ERP baselines, amounting to a cumulative gain of 10.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
892 new dwellings have been approved in Toorak Gardens over the past five years, an average of 178 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 179 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 15% 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 authorisations in Toorak Gardens have run at an annual clip of roughly 178 new dwelling approvals, delivering 892 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Given that approximately 0.7 new residents arrived per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (spanning FY-22 to FY-26), additions to stock are matching or outpacing intake, expanding market options and enabling stronger population gains than originally anticipated. Concurrently, an average residential construction value of $557,000 underlines an emphasis among builders on upmarket and luxury products, complemented by $70.4 million in commercial building permits logged during the current financial year that highlights robust business investment.
On a per-capita comparison against Greater Adelaide, Toorak Gardens records 72.0% higher building activity, granting house hunters extensive selection. Recent residential builds consist of 15.0% standalone homes alongside 85.0% attached dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density formats creates accessible pricing tiers for downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors, while diverging substantially from the prevailing established balance (where houses constitute 55.0% of stock) to address limited land reserves, shifts in lifestyle, and affordability considerations. Registering approximately 97 people per approval, the district continues to display low-density characteristics. Demographic modelling suggests Toorak Gardens will absorb an additional 1,819 residents leading up to 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current building volumes appear well positioned to satisfy this emerging requirement, sustaining healthy purchasing conditions while providing the physical capacity to outstrip baseline population forecasts.

Crown and Anchor Student Accommodation
A 29-storey purpose-built student accommodation tower delivering 645 rooms adjacent to the heritage-listed Crown and Anchor Hotel (the Cranker). Following widespread community backlash and SA Government intervention in 2024, the original plan to demolish most of the pub was replaced with a revised scheme building on the adjoining Roxie's and Chateau Apollo site. The State Planning Commission granted planning consent on 21 October 2024. Special-purpose legislation now protects the Crown and Anchor from demolition permanently.The Cranker temporarily relocated to the Ed Castle Hotel on Currie Street in July 2025 for approximately two years while Synergy Construct undertakes the build, after which the pub will return with a soundproofed band room. Designed by Brown Falconer, the tower will stand as one of Adelaide's tallest student living addresses upon completion.
Keystone Tower
Adelaide's tallest building at 183m with 37 storeys, featuring the city's first Westin Hotel with 236 rooms, office space, conference facilities, a wellness retreat, and a three-storey observation deck.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 18,979, about 109% 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
A highly qualified labor force defines Toorak Gardens, highlighted by prominent representation in knowledge-intensive sectors, an unemployment level of merely 1.8%, and a 5.2% expansion in jobs over the preceding twelve-month span. Figures from March 2026 show 9,135 employed residents, with local joblessness tracking 2.0% lower than the 3.8% registered across Greater Adelaide, even as labor force participation registers slightly lower at 63.2% against the metropolitan benchmark of 66.4%. Additionally, 17.9% of local workers reported working remotely during the Census, a metric potentially shaped by prevailing pandemic restrictions. Employment among local residents centers heavily around health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
The community exhibits an outsized orientation toward professional & technical fields, capturing a workforce concentration 2.0 times the broader metropolitan proportion. Conversely, construction displays lower engagement, absorbing only 5.0% of local workers relative to 8.7% across Greater Adelaide. An observed ratio of 0.7 jobs per resident at the time of the Census points to above-average commercial and workplace capacity within the area. Evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch demonstrates that during the year leading to March 2026, total employment grew by 5.2% while the available workforce expanded by 5.1%, maintaining an even jobless rate. In contrast, Greater Adelaide experienced a 4.2% rise in employment, a 4.0% increase in the pool of workers, and a 0.2 percentage points reduction in unemployment. Projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide an outlook on future workplace requirements for Toorak Gardens across five and ten-year horizons. Across the nation, employment is modelled to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industry trajectories vary considerably. When calibrated against the specific industry profile of Toorak Gardens, projected local employment gains reach 7.4% over five years and 15.1% over ten years (representing a baseline weighted projection provided for context without factoring in localized demographic movements).

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 — 370 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,635 at the 2021 Census → 17,338 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 (401031013). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
