Detail

As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Collinswood has an estimated population of around 1,503 residents, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population revisions alongside 10 validated new addresses added since the Census. When compared against the 2021 Census count of 1,496 people, this represents an expansion of 7 people (0.5%). AreaSearch derived this updated resident figure of 1,503 by assessing the ABS ERP figures from June 2025 together with the post-Census address additions. With 2,890 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Collinswood sits in the upper quartile for population density among nationally assessed areas.

Net overseas migration has served as the core driver of local expansion, accounting for approximately 72.0% of all recent demographic increases. Projections for the suburb of Collinswood incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia modelling for SA2 regions published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent or for intervals post-2032, figures rely on the SA State Government's Regional/LGA age-specific forecasts published in 2023 (utilising 2021 data), adjusted via weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 divisions. Future demographic patterns suggest the suburb of Collinswood will track within the lower quartile of nationwide statistical areas, with aggregated SA2-level figures projecting a rise of 13 persons up to 2041, which amounts to an overall increase of 0.9% across the 16 years.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

Urban planning and residential growth metrics compiled by AreaSearch from ABS building approvals indicate Collinswood averages roughly 2 new homes sanctioned annually, totalling approximately 11 homes across the preceding 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 and FY-25) alongside 17 approvals to date in FY-25. Across the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 1.7 people relocated locally for each constructed dwelling, fostering steady market conditions, while the figure dropped to 0.7 people per dwelling over the prior 2 financial years to show an even closer alignment of supply and demand.

Development projects reflect an expected construction cost averaging $464,000, marginally exceeding regional norms and pointing to quality building stock. In addition, commercial construction approvals totalled $1.2 million this financial year, highlighting the suburb's predominantly residential character. In terms of residential development velocity, Collinswood records approximately half the per capita dwelling approval rate of Greater Adelaide, yet ranks within the 78th percentile across Australia, bolstered by quickening construction in recent periods. Current residential building approvals consist of 60.0% detached houses and 40.0% medium-density townhouses or apartments, providing an evolving spectrum of housing choices that bridges standalone family properties and accessible compact options. A ratio of roughly 133 people per dwelling approval reflects the low-density urban planning profile of the area. Projections through to 2041 based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly assessment anticipate Collinswood gaining 13 residents. Given ongoing residential construction volumes, future housing additions appear well placed to satisfy demographic demand, supporting advantageous market conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating development that outpaces existing expectations.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,019, about 68% 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

Labour force participation is exceptionally high at 79.4% versus 66.4% across Greater Adelaide.

Employment is heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, which employs residents at 1.3 times the broader regional proportion. On the other hand, the manufacturing sector accounts for just 4.8% of local workers compared to the wider regional share of 7.0%. Given the comparison between the Census working population and resident counts, the neighbourhood functions primarily as a residential district offering relatively few commercial employment positions internally. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM data shows that in the year leading to March 2026, resident employment rose by 5.6% and the local workforce expanded by 5.7%, while unemployment remained steady. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment grow by 4.2% and the labour force expand by 4.0%, alongside a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment.

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,496 at the 2021 Census → 1,503 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL40285). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Collinswood suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Collinswood page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Collinswood data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
