This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

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 ABS demographic updates and quarterly validated address adjustments from AreaSearch, the suburb of Craigburn Farm has an estimated residency of 3,319 as of May 2026. Since the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,099 people, the population has expanded by 220 residents, or 7.1%. This update is derived from an estimated resident population of 3,316 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 58 newly validated addresses since the Census. The suburb's density stands at 894 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with standard AreaSearch benchmarks.
The 7.1% population growth in the suburb of Craigburn Farm since the 2021 census outpaced both the SA3 region (5.6%) and the wider SA4 territory, positioning the locality as a regional leader in expansion. Overseas migration was the primary driver, accounting for roughly 55.00000000000001% of the total demographic gains, though natural increase and interstate migration also contributed positive growth. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for SA2 zones. For unrepresented SA2 regions and years beyond 2032, state government age-cohort forecasts from 2023 based on 2021 data are used, adjusted by aggregating growth weights from LGA to SA2 tiers. Future trends suggest demographic growth will hover just under the national median, with the suburb of Craigburn Farm projected to add 300 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 8.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
104 new dwellings have been approved in Craigburn Farm over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, well below 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 statistical building approvals indicates that Craigburn Farm averages about 20 approved residential designs annually, with approximately 104 homes approved over the past 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 8 approvals have been logged. With an average influx of 3.2 new residents per built dwelling annually between FY-21 and FY-25, demand outpaces the volume of new supply, which typically exerts upward pressure on prices and intensifies buyer competition. The average estimated building value of new dwellings is $557,000, suggesting developers are concentrating on higher-end premium residential options. In addition, commercial approvals reached $2.6 million this financial year, demonstrating minimal emphasis on commercial real estate projects.
Compared to the broader Greater Adelaide region, new residential approvals per capita in Craigburn Farm are 95.0% higher, offering more options for purchasers despite a recent deceleration in building activity. Detached houses account for 94.0% of new construction, while medium and high-density formats constitute 6.0%, preserving the low-density residential profile of the neighborhood and its appeal to families seeking space. With a ratio of roughly 235 individuals per approval, the local market exhibits signs of transition. Based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, the suburb is projected to expand by 297 residents by 2041. Under current construction trends, incoming housing additions are expected to comfortably satisfy this demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially supporting demographic expansion above current forecasts.

1,935 residents of Craigburn Farm are employed, from a labour force of 1,949. Unemployment sits at 0.7%, with participation at 72.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,479, about 75% 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
The local workforce is highly educated, featuring a strong concentration of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 0.7%, and an annual employment growth rate of 5.3% based on consolidated regional data. In March 2026, there were 1,935 working residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 3.1% below the 3.8% rate of Greater Adelaide. Furthermore, the labor participation rate of 72.5% is significantly higher than Greater Adelaide's 66.6%. Census data indicates that 17.8% of the working population operated from home, though this figure may have been affected by pandemic-era lockdowns. The leading employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services.
The suburb exhibits a notable concentration in professional & technical fields, which employ residents at 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, manufacturing is less common, engaging only 4.6% of local workers compared to 7.0% throughout Greater Adelaide. Comparison of local job counts against the resident workforce suggests the suburb itself provides few local employment positions. Based on SALM and ABS data assessments for wider statistical boundaries, the year ending March 2026 saw employment climb by 5.3% and the total labor force expand by 5.1%, leading to a 0.3 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment grow by 4.2% and its labor force expand by 4.0%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point reduction. Long-term national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand. These five and ten-year models, mapped to local employment patterns, indicate future shifts. While overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral projections against local employment structures suggests local jobs could grow by 7.1% over five years and 14.5% over ten years, assuming a basic extrapolation that excludes local demographic projections.

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 — 58 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,099 at the 2021 Census → 3,319 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 (SAL40324). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
