Population growth drivers in Broadview are strong compared to national averages based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, the estimated population of Broadview as of November 2025 is around 4,803 people. This reflects an increase of 353 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,450 people.

This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,118 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Broadview's growth rate of 7.9% since the 2021 census exceeded the state (7.1%) and the metropolitan area, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the suburb was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 79.0% 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 areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 based on 2021 data, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Considering the projected demographic shifts, an above median population growth is projected for the suburb, with an expected increase of 847 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total increase of 15.2% over the 17 years.
