Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Andrews Farm has an estimated resident count of roughly 9,837, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population updates with post-Census address validations. Compared to the 8,699 residents recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 1,138 people (13.1%). This updated total builds upon an ERP estimate of 9,708 calculated by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 data release, alongside 826 validated new addresses logged after the Census date. With a density of 2,465 persons per square kilometer, the suburb ranks in the upper quartile across national benchmark areas assessed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Andrews Farm outperformed both South Australia (7.7%) and Greater Adelaide in population growth with its 13.1% rise since the 2021 census, positioning it as a regional frontrunner. Although natural increases and overseas arrivals contributed positively, the expansion was predominantly underpinned by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 47.0% of recent population additions. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) form the foundation of AreaSearch's SA2 modelling. Where gaps exist or for forecasts beyond 2032, population estimates incorporate 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort models (derived from 2021 numbers), applying weighted aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Long-term outlooks highlight extraordinary demographic expansion for the suburb of Andrews Farm, placing it within the highest 10 percent of statistical regions across the nation. Specifically, aggregated SA2 projections indicate an expected increase of 4,386 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative 43.3% rise across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
1,191 new dwellings have been approved in Andrews Farm over the past five years, an average of 238 a year. That places the area in the 84th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 24 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 247 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 167, 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
Dwelling approval data from the ABS, compiled by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries, indicates that Andrews Farm has averaged roughly 238 residential permits annually, totaling an estimated 1,191 dwellings across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 167 approved to date in FY-25. Across those past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of 0.8 incoming residents per approved home suggests residential building is matching or outstripping local demand, expanding buyer choice and offering capacity for demographic expansion ahead of current expectations. Over this timeframe, approved dwellings carried an average construction value of $350,000.
Additionally, $35.1 million in commercial approvals during the current financial year underlines significant local non-residential investment. Residential building volumes in Andrews Farm surpass Greater Adelaide, exceeding the wider regional per-capita baseline by 46.0% over the 5 year period, which maintains accessible market supply for purchasers while supporting local demand, notwithstanding a recent easing in construction momentum. This rate runs substantially above national averages, highlighting sustained interest from property developers. Detached houses account for 96.0% of new residential development compared to 4.0% for medium and high-density formats, reinforcing the low-density suburban landscape oriented toward family-sized accommodation. With approximately 56 people per approval, the location exhibits clear characteristics of an expanding growth corridor. Longer-term forecasts project that Andrews Farm will welcome an extra 4,257 residents by 2041 based on AreaSearch's latest quarterly calculations. Provided construction keeps pace, residential output will sufficiently satisfy demand, supporting healthy conditions for prospective buyers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond current baseline projections.

4,506 residents of Andrews Farm are employed, from a labour force of 4,809. Unemployment sits at 6.3%, with participation at 67.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 7,946, about 81% 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
Andrews Farm maintains a diverse workforce across blue-collar and white-collar roles, with a marked orientation toward manufacturing and industrial activities, while local unemployment sits at 6.3% based on AreaSearch's statistical area aggregation. As of March 2026, employed residents total 4,506. The local jobless rate exceeds Greater Adelaide's 3.8% by 2.5%, whereas workforce participation aligns closely with the regional figure of 66.4%. At the Census, only 4.8% of workers indicated working from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors among local workers comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing.
Manufacturing demonstrates strong local concentration, with local resident participation standing at 1.5 times the regional proportion. In contrast, professional & technical occupations are underrepresented locally at 2.5% relative to the 7.3% regional benchmark. Comparison of Census resident worker numbers against local job counts suggests that this largely residential community provides limited local employment opportunities. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM records across broader statistical boundaries indicates that throughout the 12 months to March 2026, the local labour force contracted by 0.2% while employment slipped 1.0%, driving an unemployment increase of 0.8 percentage points. Conversely, Greater Adelaide registered a 4.2% lift in employment, a 4.0% labour force expansion, and a 0.2 percentage point drop in joblessness. Broader labor trends are illustrated by Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment outlooks. These five- and ten-year models, when weighted against the local industry baseline, indicate potential growth trajectories. Nationally, jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral rates vary substantially. When adjusted for the local industry distribution, Andrews Farm's employment is projected to expand by 5.8% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (noting this represents a weighted projection for illustrative purposes rather than a localized population forecast).

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 — 826 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,699 at the 2021 Census → 9,837 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 (SAL40026). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
