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 ABS population updates for the broader area and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the population of the suburb of Angle Park is estimated at around 3,050 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,495 people (96.1%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,555 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3,049 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2025 and an additional 188 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,850 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb's 96.1% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the state (7.5%), along with the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the area. Population growth for the suburb 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, 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 are adopted, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Anticipating future population dynamics, a population increase just below the median of Australian statistical areas is expected for the suburb, with an expected expansion by 336 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 11.0% in total over the 16 years.
