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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Uraidla - Summertown stands at approximately 6,486 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 444 individuals (7.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,042 residents. This shift is calculated based on ABS estimated resident population statistics indicating 6,484 people in June 2025 alongside 103 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting density sits at 54 persons per square kilometer, indicating low-density living conditions. Over the past ten years, Uraidla - Summertown has shown stable development with a compound annual growth rate of 1.6%, exceeding the performance of the wider SA4 region.
Demographic gains in the area were chiefly driven by international migration, which accounted for approximately 42.2% of the overall population rise, although natural increase and interstate moves were positive contributors as well. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In instances where specific SA2 regions lack this data, or for projections extending past 2032, figures are derived from the 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA projections based on 2021 data, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population changes from the LGA scale to SA2 boundaries. Future demographic outlooks suggest growth will exceed the national median for statistical areas, with expectations that this locality will add 1,102 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, yielding a total increase of 17.0% across the 16 years.

Detail
In Uraidla - Summertown, building approvals average approximately 51 residential units annually, with 258 properties authorized over the previous 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25) and 15 approvals recorded during the current FY-26 period. Since the area attracted an average of 2 new residents per year for each residential unit constructed over the previous 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), the local sector displays balanced demand and supply dynamics, which assists in keeping conditions steady, while new construction projects carry a mean estimated cost of $439,000, showing that builders are prioritizing high-end, premium residences.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals total $6.4 million in the current financial year, representing a minor focus on non-residential projects.

This represents a clear shift from the historical built environment (which consists of 92.0% standalone houses), indicating a decline in vacant developable land while matching shifting home buyer budgets and lifestyles. With about 113 residents for every approved dwelling, Uraidla - Summertown exhibits the characteristics typical of a developing district. Looking forward, Uraidla - Summertown is projected to add 1,100 inhabitants by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch.

In contrast, retail trade is underrepresented, accounting for 7.1% of local jobs compared to the regional benchmark of 10.0%. A comparison between the count of local workers and the resident workforce suggests the local area offers few jobs within its own boundaries. According to analysis by AreaSearch using SALM and ABS data, the past 12 months saw a 5.5% increase in employed residents alongside a 5.1% rise in the active labor force, causing the local unemployment rate to contract by 0.4 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Adelaide experienced a 4.2% lift in employment and a 4.0% expansion in its labor force, with the unemployment rate declining by 0.2 percentage points. Forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective employment needs in Uraidla - Summertown. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these trajectories vary widely depending on the industry sector. Projecting these industry trends onto the job profile of Uraidla - Summertown suggests local employment is on track to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this serves as a basic weighted calculation for modeling purposes and does not incorporate local population change 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 — 103 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,042 at the 2021 Census → 6,486 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.
