Sales Detail
Blakeview has an estimated 10,055 residents, up from 8,979 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,076 people, or 12.0%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. 194 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 49.0% of that increase. That puts 1,436 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
Based on assessment of ABS population revisions for the surrounding region and subsequent addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Blakeview has a population estimated at approximately 10,055 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,076 people (12.0%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 8,979 residents. The figure is derived from a resident population of 9,971, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus an additional 194 verified new addresses since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,436 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical level across Australian localities tracked by AreaSearch.
The expansion rate of 12.0% since the 2021 census was faster than the state average (7.5%) and Greater Adelaide, positioning the area as a regional growth leader. Population increases were mostly fueled by interstate arrivals, which represented roughly 49.0% of the overall gains recently, though natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 location, published in 2024 with 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking these figures, and for horizons beyond 2032, regional and LGA age-cohort projections from the SA State Government, published in 2023 with 2021 data, are utilized alongside adjustments using weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA down to SA2 scales. Looking at future demographic shifts, significant expansion is anticipated within the highest quartile of statistical regions reviewed by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Blakeview projected to grow by 2,831 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a total increase of 27.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
234 new dwellings have been approved in Blakeview over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That places the area in the 74th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 38 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 49, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval statistics distributed from statistical areas, Blakeview has averaged roughly 46 newly approved residential dwellings annually, totaling an estimated 234 approvals during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 45 in the current FY-26 period. Given that approximately 5 individuals relocated to the locality annually for each constructed dwelling over those last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the volume of supply remains far behind demand, typically intensifying buyer rivalry and creating upward price pressures, while new builds carry an average construction value of $329,000.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $7.0 million have been documented during the current financial year, highlighting that the locality is primarily residential. In comparison to Greater Adelaide, Blakeview exhibits considerably lower construction volume, sitting 71.0% below the regional average on a per-person basis. This undersupply of new housing options generally boosts demand and valuation for pre-existing homes. Moreover, recent building approvals consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the suburban profile of the locality with a focus on separate homes that draw buyers looking for space. With approximately 330 individuals per residential approval, Blakeview indicates a developing property market. Looking forward, the population of Blakeview is projected to increase by 2,747 occupants by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction persists, the supply of housing may fall short of population needs, potentially amplifying homebuyer competition and underpinning stronger capital gains.

5,267 residents of Blakeview are employed, from a labour force of 5,521. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 71.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,175, about 81% 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
Blakeview maintains a balanced employment mix that includes both white collar and blue collar roles, with essential services well represented, an unemployment rate of 4.6%, and an estimated employment growth of 1.2% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 5,267 residents are employed while the unemployment rate stands at 0.8% above Greater Adelaide's rate of 3.8%, and workforce participation exceeds standard levels at 71.7% compared to Greater Adelaide's 66.6%. Census data indicates that only 6.4% of residents worked from home, although the impact of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety. The locality shows a particularly high concentration of public administration & safety roles, which are 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for 3.0% of local jobs compared to 7.3% across the region. The area is mostly residential and appears to provide few local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of census workers against resident workers. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional statistical divisions, during the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 1.2% while the labor force expanded by 2.0%, leading to a rise of 0.7 percentage points in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Adelaide saw employment increase by 4.2%, the labor force expand by 4.0%, and unemployment decrease by 0.2 percentage points. Five-year and ten-year national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context regarding future demand. These outlooks have been aligned with the local employment structure to project future growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though expansion rates vary by industry. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment for Blakeview residents should grow by 6.1% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not integrate local population growth trends).

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 — 194 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,979 at the 2021 Census → 10,055 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 May 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 (SAL40121). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
