Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Davoren Park has reached an estimated 8,033 residents, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated address counts. This represents a gain of 1,641 people (25.7%) from the 6,392 individuals counted during the 2021 Census. Underlying this projection is an estimated resident count of 7,876 established via the ABS ERP release from June 2025, alongside 271 newly verified post-Census address records. The resulting population density stands at 2,479 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the upper quartile of nationwide statistical areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both South Australia (7.7%) and Greater Adelaide, the 25.7% expansion recorded since the 2021 Census positions the suburb of Davoren Park as a notable regional growth driver. Inward momentum has been fueled chiefly by natural additions, generating roughly 42.0% of recent population increases, supplemented by positive inflows from both overseas and interstate migration. Projections for the suburb of Davoren Park utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 figures pegged to 2022 baseline figures. Where SA2 coverage is unavailable or timelines extend beyond 2032, population modeling incorporates SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort estimates published in 2023 from 2021 baseline data, converted to the SA2 level through weighted growth aggregations. Future demographic trajectories anticipate robust expansion within the top quartile nationwide, with the suburb of Davoren Park projected to add 2,885 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 modeling, translating to an overall growth rate of 34.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
677 new dwellings have been approved in Davoren Park over the past five years, an average of 135 a year. That places the area in the 91st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 17 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 125 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 90% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 70, 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
Examining ABS residential consent metrics across statistical boundaries, AreaSearch notes that Davoren Park has averaged approximately 135 residential building approvals annually, accumulating roughly 677 consented dwellings across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 70 approvals have been registered. An average annual influx of 2.2 residents per newly constructed residence over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25 highlights steady buyer interest bolstering local real estate, with typical construction values running at $300,000—a figure below the broader regional standard that underlines accessible property development. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have totaled $5.7 million during this financial year, reinforcing the predominantly domestic setting of the suburb.
Per-capita residential construction in Davoren Park aligns closely with Greater Adelaide benchmarks, preserving balanced supply dynamics alongside adjoining districts while tracking well above nationwide figures to underscore firm builder appetite. Detached houses constitute 90.0% of freshly permitted stock against 10.0% allocated to attached configurations, maintaining suburban qualities tailored for buyers seeking spacious environments. This building profile emphasizes standalone houses more heavily than the existing urban footprint recorded at Census (70.0%), confirming enduring appetite for detached layouts despite broader urban consolidation trends. The district currently logs around 78 people per dwelling approval, evidencing an active pipeline. Forward demographic models anticipate Davoren Park expanding by 2,728 inhabitants leading into 2041, relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Maintained at existing construction tempos, forthcoming residential completions appear well positioned to accommodate this inflow, fostering balanced purchasing environments and enabling housing absorption that could outstrip standard projections.

2,829 residents of Davoren Park are employed, from a labour force of 3,418. Unemployment sits at 17.2%, with participation at 54.5%. 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, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 6,656, about 83% 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
Davoren Park maintains a split workforce across white and blue-collar occupations, featuring prominent participation within production and industrial lines alongside an overall jobless rate of 17.2% and annual job creation of 1.9%, based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, 2,829 locals were actively employed; however, the local unemployment rate exceeds Greater Adelaide's 3.8% benchmark by 13.4%, signaling underutilized capacity, while labor force participation of 54.5% trails the 66.4% logged across Greater Adelaide. Furthermore, Census figures indicate that a modest 3.2% of workers operated from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions provide relevant context.
Primary employment sectors for local residents comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. Industrial concentration is especially pronounced, with manufacturing engaging 1.7 times the regional proportion. By contrast, professional & technical vocations account for just 2.8% of the local workforce, trailing the wider metropolitan average of 7.3%. Comparative Census tallies of resident workers versus local workplace jobs suggest the surrounding residential fabric provides limited internal job openings. According to AreaSearch syntheses of ABS and SALM records across local statistical areas, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw employment climb by 1.9% while the local workforce expanded by 5.0%, driving a 2.5 percentage point increase in joblessness. Over the identical timeframe across Greater Adelaide, employment advanced by 4.2%, the candidate pool grew by 4.0%, and unemployment contracted by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment prospects in Davoren Park. These five- and ten-year models, aligned with local industry representation, reflect nationwide job expansions of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-level trajectories diverge. Modeled against Davoren Park's current industry composition via simple weighting without localized population adjustments, local employment is estimated to expand by 5.5% over five years and 12.2% over ten years.

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 — 271 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,392 at the 2021 Census → 8,033 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 (SAL40353). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
