Fulham Gardens has an estimated 6,857 residents, up from 6,573 at the 2021 Census — a change of 284 people, or 4.3%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. That puts 2,834 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Fulham Gardens has an estimated population of approximately 6,857 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 284 people (4.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 6,573 residents. The calculation is derived from a resident population of 6,820, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an additional 82 validated new addresses since the Census. This population level translates to a density ratio of 2,833 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of national areas monitored by AreaSearch.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth, accounting for approximately 82.0% of the recent population gains. AreaSearch utilizes population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 unit, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 projections are unavailable, or for periods after 2032, regional and LGA projections by age bracket released in 2023 by the SA State Government (using 2021 data) are used, adjusted by weighting growth from LGA to SA2 scale. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the suburb of Fulham Gardens is projected to experience population growth above the national median, increasing by 896 persons to 2041 based on compiled SA2 data, representing an overall expansion of 12.5% over the 16 years.

With only an average of 0.7 people relocating to the district per approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction levels are matching or exceeding demand, providing buyers with more options while supporting growth potential beyond current projections. New residences carry an average construction value of $629,000, indicating a developer focus on high-end residential builds.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $10.6 million this financial year, pointing to steady business development. When compared to Greater Adelaide, building activity per resident in Fulham Gardens is 15.0% lower, though the area ranks in the 77th percentile nationally. The composition of new housing consists of 75.0% standalone houses and 25.0% medium and high-density configurations, maintaining a suburban layout dominated by family-sized properties. Representing approximately 156 people per building approval, the area is characterized by low density. Projections indicate that Fulham Gardens will add 859 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. At the current pace of construction, the supply of new housing is positioned to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially assisting population growth beyond current forecasts.

Ambience Apartments Findon
Medium-density residential development offering contemporary one, two, and three-bedroom residences featuring four buildings linked by a landscaped promenade and central piazza.
3,675 residents of Fulham Gardens are employed, from a labour force of 3,771. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 64.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,496, about 80% 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
Fulham Gardens benefits from a qualified resident workforce, particularly within essential service industries, featuring an unemployment rate of only 2.5% alongside an estimated job growth rate of 5.7% over the past year, as aggregated by AreaSearch from statistical area statistics. As of March 2026, 3,675 local residents are employed. The local unemployment rate is 1.3% below the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%, while the labor participation rate matches the regional level of 66.6%. Census data indicates that a low 10.9% of the workforce worked from home, although this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community displays an employment specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, where the share of jobs is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is underrepresented locally, employing 14.8% of the workforce compared to 17.7% in Greater Adelaide. The heavily residential character of the area appears to limit local employment opportunities, as shown by the relationship between the Census working population and resident counts. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data for broader statistical divisions shows that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 5.7% and the labor force expanded by 4.8%, leading to a reduction in unemployment of 0.8 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Adelaide recorded employment growth of 4.2% and labor force growth of 4.0%, with a decline in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Weighting these projections against the industry mix of Fulham Gardens suggests local employment will rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation for illustration that does not incorporate local population forecasts.

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 — 82 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,573 at the 2021 Census → 6,857 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 (SAL40468). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
