Eyre

Eyre lies within the top 10% of areas nationally in terms of population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of short and medium-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, Eyre's population is estimated at around 1,609 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 496 people (44.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,113 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 1,340 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 289 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 678 persons per square kilometer. Eyre's 44.6% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the state (8.7%), along with the metropolitan area, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration that contributed approximately 83.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, 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, exceptional growth is predicted over the period with the area expected to grow by 906 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 49.9% in total over the 17 years.
