Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census address verification, the suburb of Burton (SA) has an estimated count of around 6,644 residents as of Aug 2026. This indicates an expansion of 125 people (1.9%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 6,519 people. Such adjustments stem from an estimated resident base of 6,623 identified through the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 23 validated new addresses registered following the Census. The suburb's density currently sits at 1,089 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch.
With a post-census gain of 1.9%, the suburb of Burton (SA) trails the wider SA3 region (4.1%) by only 2.2 percentage points, demonstrating resilient growth dynamics. This upward movement was driven primarily by overseas migration, which generated roughly 62.0% of all recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Burton (SA) incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models pegged to a 2022 baseline for SA2 divisions. For locations lacking this coverage, as well as horizons beyond 2032, figures utilize the 2023 SA State Government age-cohort projections grounded in 2021 data, converted via weighted LGA-to-SA2 aggregation. Looking ahead, population growth in the suburb of Burton (SA) is projected to track slightly underneath the nationwide median, expanding by 608 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 modeling, representing an overall rise of 8.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
21 new dwellings have been approved in Burton (SA) over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 0.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, running ahead of 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
Examining ABS residential approval figures distributed to statistical territories, AreaSearch indicates that Burton averages around 4 home approvals yearly, totaling an estimated 21 dwellings over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) alongside 8 approvals to date during FY-25. With approximately 0.6 new residents per year entering for every newly approved home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), building activity matches or outpaces incoming demand, supporting abundant options for buyers and accommodating expansion beyond existing expectations. Construction values for newly approved dwellings average $274,000, coming in underneath regional standards and indicating accessible building costs.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $107.8 million during this financial year, underscoring substantial enterprise investment. When measured against Greater Adelaide on a per-capita basis, building volumes in Burton fall considerably behind (79.0% below regional average per person). While such limited construction typically supports pricing and demand across the established dwelling stock, local building permits have picked up recently. Volume is similarly trailing the national benchmark, reflecting an established urban landscape that may face development constraints. Approved construction consists of 83.0% standalone homes alongside 17.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining the traditional suburban fabric and appealing to buyers seeking detached layouts and yard space. The ratio of roughly 699 people per dwelling approval confirms a mature, built-out residential sector. Forecasts from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update indicate Burton will expand by 587 residents by 2041. If residential construction volumes remain at current levels, dwelling additions may fall short of demographic growth, which could heighten buyer competition and reinforce upward pressure on local home values.

3,096 residents of Burton (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 3,352. Unemployment sits at 7.6%, with participation at 65.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Burton maintains a mixed occupational landscape encompassing blue-collar and white-collar roles, underpinned by substantial representation across industrial and manufacturing sectors. AreaSearch figures derived from statistical area aggregations show an unemployment rate of 7.6% alongside consistent workforce metrics over the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, the employed population stands at 3,096 residents, whereas unemployment exceeds the Greater Adelaide benchmark of 3.8% by 3.8 percentage points, highlighting potential for workforce improvement, while participation aligns closely with Greater Adelaide's 66.4%. Census records show a modest 5.7% of employees working from home, though prior pandemic measures should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. Manufacturing represents a standout specialization for the area, capturing an employment share 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical occupations are underrepresented, engaging only 2.8% of the local workforce compared to 7.3% across Greater Adelaide. Given the disparity between the Census count of employed locals and local job positions, a significant segment of the working population commutes out of the area for work. AreaSearch assessment of aggregated ABS and SALM figures indicates that in the twelve months to March 2026, the local workforce grew by 0.9% while employment shrank by 0.2%, pushing unemployment up by 1.0 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Adelaide experienced a 4.2% rise in employment, a 4.0% increase in the labour pool, and a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. Long-term outlooks can also be assessed through Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26. When these nationwide five- and ten-year projections—forecasting broad job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years—are weighted against Burton's specific occupational makeup, local employment is modeled to rise by 5.5% over five years and 12.1% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighted modeling exercise and excludes local population forecasts).

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 — 23 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,519 at the 2021 Census → 6,644 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.
