Sales Detail
Elizabeth Downs has an estimated 5,557 residents, up from 5,160 at the 2021 Census — a change of 397 people, or 7.7%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 55.0% of that increase. That puts 1,770 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 evaluations from the ABS for the wider region and recently verified addresses by AreaSearch, the suburb of Elizabeth Downs is calculated to have approximately 5,557 residents in May 2026. This represents a growth of 397 individuals (7.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 5,160 citizens. This adjustment is based on a resident count of 5,503 determined by AreaSearch through the ABS publication from June 2025 detailing ERP statistics, plus 86 validated new addresses post-Census. With these numbers, the local population density stands at 1,769 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the national baseline assessed by AreaSearch.
The growth of 7.7% in the suburb of Elizabeth Downs since the 2021 census was higher than the state average of 7.5%, placing it among the local leaders in expansion. This upward trend was largely driven by arrivals from abroad, who made up about 55.00000000000001% of the overall population gains in recent times. Projections prepared by Geoscience Australia and the ABS released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for each SA2 division. In instances where such statistics are absent, or for periods past 2032, population estimates are drawn from the state government projections released in 2023 utilizing 2021 numbers, which are aggregated from LGA to SA2 boundaries through weighted growth calculations. Future projections suggest that the suburb of Elizabeth Downs will see an expansion placing it in the top quartile of the country, with an expected increase of 1,123 residents by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 19.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
215 new dwellings have been approved in Elizabeth Downs over the past five years, an average of 43 a year. That places the area in the 63rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 92% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 75, running ahead of 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 building approval statistics indicates that the locality averages approximately 43 residential approvals per year, summing up to roughly 215 new residences over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 69 approvals registered. Given that 1.3 individuals have relocated to the community for each constructed residence over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand matches supply closely, supporting stable market dynamics, with a mean estimated building value of $269,000. Commercial approvals in the current financial year total $553,000, pointing to low commercial building activity.
Residential building output is substantially lower than the wider metropolitan area of Greater Adelaide, lagging the regional per capita benchmark by 54.0%. This limited addition of new stock tends to support value and interest in established properties. Single detached houses make up 92.0% of the building approvals, while townhouses or apartments comprise 8.0%, preserving a low-density neighborhood style that appeals to buyers wanting larger spaces. A ratio of 131 people per approval highlights the ongoing growth in the area. Looking forward, the population is projected to increase by 1,069 residents up to 2041 relative to the current quarterly figures from AreaSearch. The ongoing building rate seems to match anticipated requirements, which is expected to support balanced market conditions without driving excessive price hikes.

1,751 residents of Elizabeth Downs are employed, from a labour force of 2,175. Unemployment sits at 19.5%, with participation at 50.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,627, 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
The local workforce consists of a blend of manual and office workers, with industrial and manufacturing employers having a significant footprint, alongside an unemployment rate of 19.5% compiled by AreaSearch from regional statistics. In March 2026, 1,751 locals were employed, and the unemployment rate was 15.7% higher than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8%, indicating potential for labor market growth. Participation in the workforce is also notably lower at 50.4% compared to the metropolitan average of 66.6%. The Census recorded that a minor share of 4.7% of the workforce operated from home, though this period was affected by pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are retail trade, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. Administrative & support services are highly concentrated here, registering at 2.2 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, education & training accounts for only 4.1% of local workers, compared to 9.3% across the wider region. The comparison between local jobs and resident workers indicates that the suburb is mostly residential and offers limited employment within its boundaries. According to SALM and ABS statistics for the 12 months leading to March 2026, the local labor pool expanded by 2.0% while total employment dipped by 0.7%, pushing the unemployment rate up by 2.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Adelaide recorded a 4.2% rise in employment, a 4.0% increase in the labor force, and a drop of 0.2 percentage points in unemployment. Long-term labor trends can be evaluated using national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. While nationwide jobs are expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary across fields. Aligning these trends with the local employment distribution suggests that jobs held by residents could grow by 5.7% in five years and 12.5% in ten years, assuming a basic weighted calculation without 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 — 86 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,160 at the 2021 Census → 5,557 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 (SAL40398). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
