Sales Detail
Aberfoyle Park has an estimated 11,055 residents, down from 11,234 at the 2021 Census — a change of 179 people, or 1.6%. That puts 1,893 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population releases and post-Census validated new addresses, the suburb of Aberfoyle Park has an estimated population of approximately 11,055 as of Aug 2026. This represents a contraction of 179 people (1.6%) relative to the 11,234 people recorded at the 2021 Census. Such movement is calculated from an estimated resident count of 11,048 determined via ABS ERP figures from June 2025 alongside an added 8 validated new addresses following the Census. The suburb's density currently stands at 1,893 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the benchmark across nationwide locations monitored by AreaSearch.
Inward migration from overseas served as the primary and practically solitary source of local population expansion in recent times. Population modeling by AreaSearch utilizes the ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 as their foundation year. Where SA2 data is unavailable, as well as for timeframes extending past 2032, South Australian Government Regional/LGA age-cohort forecasts issued in 2023 (utilizing 2021 baselines) are applied through weighted LGA-to-SA2 growth aggregation. Looking ahead, the suburb of Aberfoyle Park is projected to experience population expansion slightly under the national statistical median, gaining 941 persons by 2041 under SA2 aggregated projections, which equates to an overall rise of 8.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
59 new dwellings have been approved in Aberfoyle Park over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Examining ABS residential approval statistics aggregated by AreaSearch, Aberfoyle Park has maintained a yearly average of roughly 11 new dwelling approvals, delivering an estimated 59 homes over the previous 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 8 approvals have been registered. In the context of slight population decline, residential construction has comfortably satisfied local requirements while providing ample selection for purchasers, with newly authorized residences carrying an average expected construction cost of $496,000—surpassing regional benchmarks and highlighting a focus on quality. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $20.8 million during this financial year, pointing to a moderate volume of commercial investment.
Relative to Greater Adelaide, building approval volume in Aberfoyle Park is noticeably subdued (standing 85.0% below regional levels per capita). This constrained flow of new residential construction tends to reinforce pricing and buyer demand across established housing. Construction volumes are likewise below nationwide averages, illustrating market maturity alongside potential land or planning restrictions. Detached dwellings account for 89.0% of new projects, while townhouses or apartments make up 11.0%, sustaining the neighborhood's low-density suburban fabric and catering to buyers seeking standalone homes. With an estimated 1386 people per dwelling approval, the locality exhibits characteristics of a deeply established urban market. Long-term forecasts anticipate Aberfoyle Park expanding by 934 residents by 2041 compared against the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Should the pace of construction remain at present levels, new residential completions could lag behind demographic expansion, potentially intensifying competition among buyers and underpinning home values.

6,329 residents of Aberfoyle Park are employed, from a labour force of 6,488. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 69.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,039, about 73% 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
Aberfoyle Park maintains a highly qualified labour pool with pronounced representation across essential public sectors, a low jobless rate of 2.5%, and an estimated annual job growth of 6.0% derived from AreaSearch statistical area datasets. As of March 2026, employed locals number 6,329, with the local unemployment rate tracking 1.4% lower than Greater Adelaide's 3.8%. Labour force participation remains steady at 69.9% versus 66.4% across Greater Adelaide. Meanwhile, Census figures showed that only 11.7% of working residents carried out their duties from home, though Covid-19 lockdown restrictions at the time should be kept in mind.
The primary employment fields for the local workforce consist of health care & social assistance, education & training, along with retail trade. Conversely, accommodation & food demonstrates a smaller profile, employing 5.3% of workers locally compared to 6.8% across the broader region. Being predominantly residential, the area provides a relatively small volume of internal jobs, as highlighted by Census comparisons between the resident workforce and locally situated jobs. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the year leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 6.0% while the labour pool expanded by 5.0%, reducing the jobless rate by 0.9 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment increase by 4.2% and labour force grow by 4.0%, with unemployment decreasing by 0.2 percentage points. Longer-term employment expectations can also be evaluated using Jobs and Skills Australia forecasts from Mar-26. Projected nationwide workforce increases of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years vary considerably across individual industries. Weighting these sectoral expectations against Aberfoyle Park's specific industry breakdown suggests local employment could expand by 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years (representing an illustrative proportional extrapolation without localized population adjustments).

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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,234 at the 2021 Census → 11,055 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 (SAL40001). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
