This reflects an increase of 76 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 3,668.

Overseas migration primarily drove recent population growth, contributing approximately 56.99999999999999% of overall gains.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Future population trends indicate an overall decline, with Acacia Gardens (SA2)'s population expected to contract by 104 persons by 2041. However, growth across specific age cohorts is anticipated, notably the 85 and over age group projected to increase by 141 people.

The level of residential development activity in Acacia Gardens is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data shows Acacia Gardens averaged around 6 new dwelling approvals per year over the past 5 financial years, totalling an estimated 30 homes. As of FY-26, 1 approval has been recorded. Population decline in the area suggests new supply has likely kept up with demand, offering good choice to buyers.
