Dover Gardens has an estimated 3,310 residents, up from 3,062 at the 2021 Census — a change of 248 people, or 8.1%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 94.0% of that increase. That puts 3,310 residents on each square kilometre. 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 demographic assessments of ABS regional data and address validations from AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Dover Gardens has an estimated population of approximately 3,310 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 248 residents (8.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 3,062 individuals. This adjustment is derived from the resident population of 3,298, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an additional 11 validated new addresses since the Census. Such a population count translates to a density of 3,310 residents per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the upper quartile of national locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Dover Gardens's 8.1% expansion rate since the 2021 census outperformed the SA4 region (6.2%) and the SA3 area, establishing it as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of this growth was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 94.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which use 2022 as their baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this information, or for periods after 2032, projections by age brackets from the SA State Government's 2023 release (utilizing 2021 data) are applied via a weighted aggregation method of growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the suburb of Dover Gardens is projected to experience population growth above the national average. Aggregated SA2 projections indicate an expansion of 604 residents by 2041, representing a total gain of 17.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
126 new dwellings have been approved in Dover Gardens over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That places the area in the 60th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 27 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 52% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 18, 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical area records, Dover Gardens has averaged approximately 25 approved residential properties annually, amounting to an estimated 126 dwellings over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 17 approvals have been registered. With an average of 1.6 new residents moving in per new dwelling annually between FY-21 and FY-25, the local market indicates a healthy equilibrium between supply and demand, fostering stable conditions. The average expected construction cost for these new properties is $291,000. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $1.8 million during this financial year, pointing to low commercial construction activity.
Compared to the Greater Adelaide region, building activity in Dover Gardens is moderately stronger, running 12.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year timeframe. This rate supports buyer choices while maintaining demand for existing properties. Recent approvals consist of 52.0% detached houses and 48.0% townhouses or apartments. This increasing proportion of multi-dwelling options offers choices across multiple price points, ranging from family residences to more affordable compact alternatives. This trend represents a notable change from the current housing stock, which is 68.0% houses, indicating a decline in vacant developable land and reflecting shifting lifestyle choices and housing affordability constraints. With approximately 123 people per dwelling approval, the area exhibits the features of a growth locality. Looking forward, the population of Dover Gardens is projected to rise by 592 residents by 2041, according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Based on current construction trends, incoming housing supply is positioned to comfortably accommodate this demand, providing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond the projected numbers.

1,741 residents of Dover Gardens are employed, from a labour force of 1,806. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 66.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,482, 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
Dover Gardens features a highly educated labor force, with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 3.6%, and an estimated job growth of 4.8% over the past year, according to AreaSearch's aggregation of local statistical data. As of March 2026, 1,741 residents are employed. The unemployment rate is 0.2% lower than the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide, while workforce participation matches the Greater Adelaide average of 66.6%. Census data indicates that a low 10.6% of residents worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. Conversely, the manufacturing sector is under-represented, employing only 3.6% of the Dover Gardens workforce compared to 7.0% across Greater Adelaide. The residential nature of the locality suggests that local employment opportunities are relatively limited, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident population. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS data from broader statistical areas indicates that the 12-month period experienced a 4.8% rise in employment and a 4.3% expansion of the labor force, causing the unemployment rate to drop by 0.4 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Adelaide saw employment grow by 4.2% and the labor force expand by 4.0%, with unemployment decreasing by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Dover Gardens. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry profile to estimate potential growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Applying these national sector trends to the employment profile of Dover Gardens suggests local jobs could grow by 7.0% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for local 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 — 11 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,062 at the 2021 Census → 3,310 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 (SAL40371). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
