Sales Detail
Blakeview has an estimated 10,073 residents, up from 8,979 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,094 people, or 12.2%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years, faster than 77% 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 1,439 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population releases and 194 validated new addresses added since the Census date, the suburb of Blakeview is estimated to have a population of approximately 10,073 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,094 people (12.2%) compared to the 8,979 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure builds upon an estimated resident population of 9,982 determined by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release. Consequently, population density stands at 1,439 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than the nationwide benchmark across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
With its 12.2% surge since the 2021 census, the suburb outpaced both South Australia (7.7%) and Greater Adelaide, establishing itself as an area of notable regional expansion. Inflow from interstate migration served as the primary catalyst, delivering around 49.0% of recent population additions, while overseas migration and natural increase also delivered positive contributions. Population modeling by AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for SA2 regions published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base). Where SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for timeframes extending beyond post-2032, figures utilize the 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort projections (benchmarked to 2021 data), calibrated by distributing LGA growth trends across SA2 boundaries via weighted aggregation. Under these demographic forecasts, the suburb of Blakeview sits in the highest quartile among Australian statistical territories for expected expansion, with aggregated SA2 modeling indicating an increase of 2,790 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative 26.8% gain across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
258 new dwellings have been approved in Blakeview over the past five years, an average of 51 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch, mapped from statistical area divisions, shows development consents in Blakeview averaging roughly 51 dwellings per year, totaling approximately 258 approved residences across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 46 approved to date in FY-25. Because an average of 5.2 people per year have entered the locality per newly built dwelling across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), residential construction has trailed demand considerably, intensifying competition among purchasers and generating upward pressure on values. Dwellings approved during this period carried an average construction cost of $331,000, aligning with wider regional averages.
Furthermore, approvals for commercial construction totaling $7.0 million were lodged this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area. Compared with Greater Adelaide, building activity across Blakeview is substantially lower, sitting 75.0% below the regional per capita benchmark. This constrained delivery of new housing stock generally reinforces demand and pricing for established residential properties. Approved construction comprises 98.0% detached dwellings alongside 2.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving an established low-density suburban landscape tailored to family living and open space. With a ratio of around 239 people per dwelling approval, the local development pipeline reflects an expanding market. Longer-term demographic forecasts indicate Blakeview will welcome an additional 2,699 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Should dwelling approvals remain at current volumes, residential supply risks falling short of demographic expansion, likely heightening competition across the market and underpinning value appreciation.

5,282 residents of Blakeview are employed, from a labour force of 5,541. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 71.3%. 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 8,184, 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 exhibits an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by solid representation across essential services. Based on statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch, the locality registers an unemployment rate of 4.7% alongside a 1.2% annual increase in employed persons. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,282. The jobless rate sits 0.8% above the 3.8% recorded for Greater Adelaide, while labor force participation reached 71.3%, exceeding Greater Adelaide's 66.4%. Census figures indicated that a modest 6.4% of workers operated from home, though this coincided with Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety.
Industry specialization is especially pronounced within public administration & safety, where the local workforce share is 1.5 times the wider regional proportion. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 3.0% of employment locally, compared with 7.3% across the broader region. Given the contrast between resident workers and local operational positions in Census figures, this primarily suburban district offers limited commercial employment within its own borders. AreaSearch evaluated combined SALM and ABS figures from larger statistical regions over the period to March 2026, showing that employment rose by 1.2% while the labour force grew by 2.0%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Adelaide experienced employment growth of 4.2% and labour force growth of 4.0%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections published for Mar-26 provide additional context regarding anticipated future demand in Blakeview. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and were overlaid with local employment data to estimate sectoral growth trends. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these industry-level forecasts are applied to Blakeview's current employment composition, the area is expected to see employment rise by 6.1% over five years and by 13.1% over ten years, though this calculation represents a basic weighting exercise for demonstration only and does not incorporate localized population 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 Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,979 at the 2021 Census → 10,073 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.
