Sales Detail
Black Forest has an estimated 2,015 residents, up from 1,982 at the 2021 Census — a change of 33 people, or 1.7%. That puts 2,920 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Black Forest has an estimated resident population of around 2,015, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS updates alongside 8 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. This total represents an addition of 33 people (1.7%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 1,982 people. These estimates draw upon the ABS June 2025 ERP release coupled with post-Census address additions. With a population density of 2,920 persons per square kilometer, the suburb ranks in the upper quartile among locations assessed nationally by AreaSearch.
In recent periods, population expansion has been overwhelmingly supported by overseas migration, which made up approximately 99.0% of overall demographic gains. Population projections utilized by AreaSearch integrate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, as well as across post-2032 horizons, the 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA projections (based on 2021 figures) are applied using weighted LGA-to-SA2 growth aggregation. Across the 16 years running to 2041, the suburb of Black Forest is projected to add 100 persons based on aggregated SA2 figures, translating to an overall rise of 5.0% and placing anticipated demographic growth slightly beneath the median across benchmarked statistical areas.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
35 new dwellings have been approved in Black Forest over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 3.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Property development tracking by AreaSearch using ABS building approvals indicates that Black Forest averages approximately 7 dwellings approved per year, yielding roughly 35 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 6 approvals have been logged. In the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of only 0.2 people moved into the suburb annually for each residential dwelling constructed, indicating that new housing creation is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, widening options for purchasers and facilitating higher population expansion than projected. The average construction value of newly built dwellings stands at $469,000, marginally outperforming the regional baseline and signaling high-standard construction, while commercial planning approvals of $3.2 million registered this financial year emphasize the predominantly residential profile of the locality.
Per capita residential construction in Black Forest is 16.0% lower than across Greater Adelaide, ranking the suburb in the 37th percentile nationwide and pointing to an established urban footprint with potential planning limitations that constrain buyer choice while underpinning demand for established properties. Recent building approvals consist of 43.0% detached dwellings and 57.0% medium and high-density housing. This skew toward denser construction provides accessible price points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also highlights an evolving urban profile away from the current structure of 59.0% houses, prompted by scarcer vacant parcels and growing requirements for diverse accommodation. The suburb exhibits characteristics of a mature development landscape, with approximately 402 people per approval. Looking toward 2041, Black Forest is anticipated to experience a net increase of 100 residents from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Existing residential construction momentum indicates that housing supply will comfortably accommodate local requirements, establishing favorable market conditions for purchasers while potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Forestville Reserve Archway Upgrades (Mike Turtur Bikeway Upgrade)
Upgrades to the heritage-listed Forestville Reserve Archways and related infrastructure to improve safety and amenity for pedestrians and cyclists as part of the Mike Turtur Bikeway and Marino Rocks Greenway improvements. The project includes widening two archways under the tram overpass from 1.8m to 5m, realigning and widening the Shared Use Path over Brownhill Creek to 3.5m, installing a new pedestrian path with safety railing, refreshing the existing subway and ramps (lighting, safety mirrors, CCTV, drainage, non-slip surface, re-painting).Major works started June 30, 2025, with completion by March 2026. The original plan for a bikeway overpass was put on hold due to community concerns about tree impacts.
The Locale (Forestville Project)
A $250 million mixed-use development transforming the 3.6-hectare former Le Cornu site into a vibrant community. It includes a Market Square with supermarket and specialty retail, open-air cafes, eateries, an Urban Green School, rooftop Urban Farm, short-stay accommodation, approximately 219 high-quality apartments, and 71 terrace homes. The project aims to create a new heart for Adelaide's south-west, fostering residential, retail, hospitality, education, commercial, and tourism sectors. Stage 1 construction is expected to begin in 2024, with first residents moving in late 2025, Market Square opening late 2026, and full project completion anticipated by 2029.
Tram Grade Separation Project (Glenelg Line)
Removal of the Glenelg tram line level crossings at Marion Road and Cross Road, Plympton, by constructing a tram overpass across both roads to reduce congestion and improve safety and travel times. This project is part of the larger effort to create a non-stop South Road. The project will also include a new tram stop, an elevated Mike Turtur Bikeway, and revitalized open space.
Wayville Reserve Upgrade
The Wayville Reserve, including the playspace, will be upgraded as part of the Council's program to revitalise community open spaces. The project is separated into stages due to the Brown Hill - Keswick Creek upgrade work. Stage 1 will focus on the play area, featuring improved sightlines and entrances with custom park signage, a wider range of new play equipment for various ages and play types with new softfall, and new seating under shade trees for relaxation and socializing.Open lawn areas will remain for active uses, framed by garden beds, and planting near the creek will include wetland plants to enhance wildlife habitat and biodiversity, as well as filter stormwater runoff. The existing path network will be repaved for improved accessibility.
Goodwood Oval Sporting Precinct Revitalisation
The revitalisation of Goodwood Oval Sporting Precinct will create a modern, safe and inclusive space that fosters local sport, community wellbeing, youth development, and honours the service and spirit of the local community.
Fig Tree Terraces

The project is located in a leafy neighbourhood, offering walkability to key amenities such as shops and transport. It contributes to housing supply in the Adelaide South Growth Areas.
River Torrens to Darlington Project (T2D) - South Road Resurfacing Works
Resurfacing works on a 3km section of South Road between Glengarry Avenue, Glandore, and Bennet Avenue, Melrose Park, delivering a smoother and safer ride for motorists. Further works were undertaken from Daws Road to Lloyd Street, St Marys. These works involve removing the existing pavement and replacing it with asphalt to ensure long-term safety and integrity. This is part of a package of 13 infrastructure upgrades designed to support and complement the revitalised T2D Project.
State Basketball Centre Development
The State Basketball Centre is an extension to the Wayville Sports Centre at the Adelaide Showground, Wayville, funded by a $15.8 million State Government investment. It serves as the home for Basketball SA, SA Country Basketball, SA Wheelchair Basketball, and SA Church Basketball, and is the training base for the Adelaide Lightning. The development added four new courts, including an International Basketball Federation (FIBA) Level 1 rated show court, bringing the total to seven basketball courts.The facility caters to community through to high-performance basketball, accommodating local, district, state, and national league teams.
1,150 residents of Black Forest are employed, from a labour force of 1,186. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 68.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,575, about 78% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Labour force statistics aggregated by AreaSearch indicate that Black Forest features an educated resident workforce characterized by a strong professional base, an unemployment rate of only 3.0%, and an annual employment growth rate of 3.7%. Across the suburb as of March 2026, 1,150 residents are employed. The local jobless rate sits 0.8% beneath the 3.8% recorded for Greater Adelaide, while workforce participation stands at 68.6%, tracking close to the metropolitan benchmark of 66.4%. Census figures indicate that 13.5% of working residents operated from home, though these numbers were subject to Covid-19 restrictions at the time.
The primary employment sectors among local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The community demonstrates a notable concentration in professional & technical fields, where the local representation is 1.5 times the regional proportion. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing remains under-represented, accounting for only 2.2% of the local workforce relative to 4.3% in Greater Adelaide. Comparisons between the working population and resident counts recorded in the Census reflect the area's largely residential makeup and limited internal job generation. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, employment levels increased by 3.7% and labour force increased by 3.8%, keeping the unemployment rate relatively stable. By comparison, Greater Adelaide recorded employment growth of 4.2%, labour force growth of 4.0%, with unemployment falling 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Black Forest. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Black Forest's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 7.0% over five years and 14.4% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,982 at the 2021 Census → 2,015 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL40111). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
