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 since the Census, Angle Park's estimated population is around 1,900 as of November 2025. 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 growth of 22.2% since the 2021 census exceeded the state (8.7%) and metropolitan area, 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 adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category are adopted, based on 2021 data released in 2023 with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Considering projected demographic shifts, an above median population growth is projected for the Angle Park statistical area (Lv2), with the area expected to expand by 379 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 6.7% in total over the 17 years.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Angle Park when compared nationally

Angle Park recorded approximately 47 residential properties approved annually, with around 236 homes approved between FY-21 and FY-25. In FY-26 up to June, 13 approvals have been granted. On average, over the past five financial years, 0.4 new residents arrived per newly built home.

This suggests that supply is meeting or exceeding demand, providing ample buyer choice and capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts. The average construction cost value of new homes was $335,000. In FY-26 up to June, $9.4 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating moderate levels of commercial development. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Angle Park has 251% more development activity per person. This suggests strong developer confidence in the location, although recent periods show some moderation.

New development consists of 67% standalone homes and 33% attached dwellings, offering a mix of medium-density options across various price brackets. With around 78 people per dwelling approval, Angle Park exhibits characteristics of a growth area. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Angle Park is projected to grow by 127 residents by 2041. Based on current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.
