Blakeview

Blakeview 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, as of Nov 2025 Blakeview's population is estimated at around 9,886. This reflects an increase of 907 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 8,979. The change is inferred from the resident population of 9,762, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024), and an additional 191 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,412 persons per square kilometer. Blakeview's growth rate of 10.1% since the 2021 census exceeded the state (8.7%) and metropolitan area, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth was primarily driven by interstate migration contributing approximately 49.0% 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 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, Blakeview is expected to expand by 2,885 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 25.4% in total over the 17 years.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates Blakeview recorded around 43 residential properties granted approval per year. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, approximately 216 homes were approved, with an additional 27 approved so far in FY-26. On average, 3.2 new residents arrived per dwelling constructed annually during this period.

This has led to demand significantly exceeding supply, typically resulting in price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction value of new dwellings was $329,000. In comparison, Greater Adelaide had 74.0% more development activity per person than Blakeview, which is primarily residential with $7.0 million in commercial approvals registered this financial year. The area has seen only detached dwelling constructions recently, preserving its suburban nature and attracting space-seeking buyers.

As of now, there are approximately 345 people per dwelling approval, reflecting an established area. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Blakeview is expected to grow by 2,506 residents by 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing buyer competition and supporting stronger price growth.

National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia project national employment growth at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Blakeview's industry mix suggests local employment could increase by 6.1% over five years and 13.1% over ten years, based on a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes.
