AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and 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 using a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Future demographic trends predict exceptional growth for Angle Vale, placing it in the top 10 percent of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb is expected to grow by 3,126 persons to reach a total population of around 11,540 by the year 2041, reflecting an increase of approximately 2.0% in total over the 17-year period.

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 has recorded around 411 residential properties granted approval per year. Over the past five financial years, from FY21 to FY25, approximately 2,055 homes were approved, with an additional 155 approved in FY26 so far. On average, each dwelling constructed over these years accommodates about 0.9 new residents annually.

This suggests that new supply is meeting or exceeding demand, providing ample buyer choice and capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts. The average construction value of new properties is around $331,000, aligning with regional patterns. In FY26, Angle Vale has registered $61.2 million in commercial approvals, indicating robust commercial development momentum. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Angle Vale has 442.0% more development activity per person, which should provide buyers with ample choice and indicates strong developer interest in the area. Recent construction comprises predominantly standalone homes at 98.0%, maintaining the area's traditional low-density character focused on family homes.

With around 10 people per dwelling approval, Angle Vale exhibits characteristics of a growth area. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Angle Vale is projected to add 166 residents by 2041. Given current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling population growth that exceeds current forecasts.
