Angle Park

An assessment of population growth drivers in Angle Park reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, as of Feb 2026, the estimated population of Angle Park is around 1,900. This reflects an increase of 345 people (22.2%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,555 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 1,849 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 188 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,775 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Angle Park's 22.2% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the state (9.0%) and Greater Adelaide, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 89.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data and for years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Considering the projected demographic shifts, an above median population growth of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is projected for Angle Park, with the area expected to expand by 376 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 6.6% in total over the 17 years.
