Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Dernancourt's population is estimated at around 4,402 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 339 people (8.3%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,063 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 4,386, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 30 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,168 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Dernancourt's 8.3% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (4.1%), along with the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 48.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration were positive factors. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Moving forward with demographic trends, an above median population growth of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is projected, with the area expected to grow by 765 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting recording a gain of 17.0% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
194 new dwellings have been approved in Dernancourt over the past five years, an average of 38 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 9 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 37, broadly in line with 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Dernancourt has recorded around 38 residential properties granted approval per year, with an estimated 194 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 34 so far in FY-26. Given an average of 1.7 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply and demand seem well-matched, fostering stable market dynamics, while new dwellings are developed at an average value of $412,000, demonstrating a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.
There have also been $385,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating minimal commercial development activity. When measured against Greater Adelaide, Dernancourt records 98.0% more development activity (per person). which should provide buyers with ample choice, though development activity has moderated in recent periods. New development consists of 92.0% standalone homes and 8.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the area's suburban nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. The location has approximately 189 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market. Future projections show Dernancourt adding 749 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.

2,357 residents of Dernancourt are employed, from a labour force of 2,394. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 64.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,243, about 74% 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
Dernancourt possesses a well-educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of just 1.5%, and 1.5% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,357 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 2.3% below Greater Adelaide's rate of 3.8%, and workforce participation is somewhat below standard (64.0% compared to Greater Adelaide's 66.6%). Based on Census responses, a low 12.0% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The dominant employment sectors among residents include health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. The area shows particularly strong specialization in construction, with an employment share of 1.2 times the regional level. On the other hand, accommodation & food is under-represented, with only 5.0% of Dernancourt's workforce compared to 6.8% in Greater Adelaide. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 1.5% while labour force increased by 1.5%, keeping the unemployment rate relatively stable. This compares to Greater Adelaide, where employment grew by 4.2%, labour force expanded by 4.0%, and unemployment fell 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Dernancourt. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Dernancourt's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.7% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 30 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,063 at the 2021 Census → 4,402 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 (SAL40362). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
