Sales Detail
Goodwood (SA) has an estimated 3,171 residents, up from 2,823 at the 2021 Census — a change of 348 people, or 12.3%. Growth has averaged 1.9% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 99.0% of that increase. That puts 3,447 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 Goodwood (SA)'s population is estimated at around 3,171 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 348 people (12.3%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,823 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3,170, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 6 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,446 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb of Goodwood (SA)'s 12.3% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (5.4%), 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 99.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. 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. Anticipating future population dynamics, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is expected, with the suburb of Goodwood (SA) expected to grow by 237 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting with an increase of 7.4% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
87 new dwellings have been approved in Goodwood (SA) over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 61, 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
Dwelling approvals in Goodwood have run at an average of 17 per year, with a total of 87 residential building consents issued during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and an additional 56 approved in the current FY-26 period. Because there are 3.2 new inhabitants for each completed residence over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 through FY-25, the local housing supply is failing to match incoming demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on home prices. Developers are targeting higher-end projects, evidenced by an average estimated construction value of $576,000 per dwelling.
Meanwhile, commercial project approvals reached a total value of $3.2 million this financial year, which suggests that non-residential building activity remains a minor focus. In comparison to Greater Adelaide, the rate of building activity per capita in Goodwood is 89.0% higher, offering house hunters a wider selection of properties. The mix of new construction is divided equally, with 50.0% consisting of standalone houses and 50.0% comprising multi-unit dwellings like apartments or townhouses. This shift toward higher-density options offers affordable entry points to the local market, making it highly attractive to first-time buyers, property investors, and downsizers. The ratio of local residents to each new dwelling consent stands at approximately 145 people, showing an expanding real estate market. According to demographic projections, the local population is set to expand by 236 residents up to the year 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimates by AreaSearch. In light of current building trends, the volume of incoming housing supply should easily satisfy this demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially helping local population growth exceed initial forecast rates.

2,056 residents of Goodwood (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 2,100. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 76.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,856, about 90% 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 is characterized by high levels of education and a strong concentration of professionals, coupled with a low unemployment rate of 2.1% and an annual job growth rate estimated at 7.7% according to consolidated regional data. In March 2026, the employed resident count reached 2,056, while the jobless rate was 1.7% lower than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8%. Additionally, the participation rate of 76.5% is significantly higher than the Greater Adelaide average of 66.6%. Census figures indicate that 16.0% of local workers operated from home, a metric that may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and professional and technical services. The area exhibits a notable concentration in the professional and technical services sector, where the proportion of workers is 1.7 times the broader metropolitan average. In contrast, construction workers represent only 4.2% of the workforce compared to the regional average of 8.7%. Despite the availability of local jobs, Census data comparing the working population to resident totals indicates that a significant number of residents travel outside the area for their employment. According to consolidated SALM and ABS statistics for the surrounding region, employment grew by 7.7% over the 12-month period, while the overall labor force expanded by 7.6%, keeping the local unemployment rate steady. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment rise by 4.2% and the labor force grow by 4.0%, with its unemployment rate dropping by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective labor demand in Goodwood. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth trends. Nationally, total employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary considerably across industries. Applying these sectoral growth rates directly to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 7.1% over five years and 14.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not account for localized population changes.

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,823 at the 2021 Census → 3,171 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.
