Angle Vale

Angle Vale lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the Angle Vale statistical area's population is estimated at around 7,246 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 3,195 people (78.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,051 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 6,803 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 1,798 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 515 persons per square kilometer. The Angle Vale's 78.9% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the state (8.7%) and the metropolitan area, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration contributing approximately 76.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and overseas migration were positive factors.

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 are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Anticipating future population dynamics, exceptional growth is predicted over the period with the Angle Vale expected to grow by 3,134 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 18.5% in total over the 17 years.

The level of residential development activity in Angle Vale was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

Angle Vale recorded approximately 398 residential properties approved annually, totalling 1,993 homes from FY21 to FY25, with an additional 204 in FY26. On average, 0.9 new residents per year were associated with each dwelling constructed over the past five financial years. This indicates that supply is meeting or exceeding demand, providing ample buyer choice and potential for population growth beyond current forecasts.

The average construction cost of these properties was $331,000. In FY26, $47.1 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded, reflecting high levels of local commercial activity. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Angle Vale has 429.0% more development activity per person. Recent construction comprises 98.0% detached dwellings and 2.0% medium and high-density housing, maintaining the area's traditional low density character. There are approximately 12 people per dwelling approval in the location, indicating an expanding market.

Population forecasts suggest Angle Vale will gain 1,342 residents by 2041. With current construction levels, housing supply should meet demand adequately, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
