Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS regional updates alongside newly confirmed residential addresses following the Census, the population of the suburb of Grange (SA) stands at roughly 6,277 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 134 people (2.2%) compared to the 6,143 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement is derived from an estimated resident base of 6,193 determined via the ABS ERP figures from June 2025 in combination with 103 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The suburb's density currently measures 1,763 persons per square kilometer, placing it above the national benchmark tracked by AreaSearch.
Inbound international arrivals accounted for the vast majority of local expansion, representing roughly 95.0% of recent demographic increases. Projections for the suburb of Grange (SA) utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia 2024 releases founded on 2022 benchmarks across SA2 zones. Where local data is missing or extends beyond post-2032, figures incorporate 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort models based on 2021 numbers, adjusted via population-weighted distributions from LGA to SA2 divisions. Future demographic trajectories place growth slightly under the median benchmark of regions surveyed by AreaSearch, with forecasts anticipating an increase of 664 persons to 2041 via aggregated SA2 modeling, corresponding to an overall rise of 9.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
200 new dwellings have been approved in Grange (SA) over the past five years, an average of 40 a year. That is 5.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 71% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 38, broadly in line with 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
AreaSearch's review of ABS residential building approvals at the local level shows an annual average of approximately 40 dwellings permitted in Grange, amounting to roughly 200 residences throughout the previous 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 38 approvals have been logged. While local headcounts contracted over the preceding timeframe, incoming residential construction has maintained alignment with market requirements to give purchasers solid availability, with pipeline builds carrying a mean construction value of $541,000 to highlight an emphasis by developers on upmarket, higher-tier residences. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $17.0 million during this financial year, reflecting a moderate pace of non-residential building work.
On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Grange run at roughly two-thirds of the Greater Adelaide benchmark, positioning the area within the 72nd percentile across the country. Construction activity is weighted toward separate houses at 71.0%, while semi-detached and attached formats account for 29.0%, reinforcing established neighborhood forms tailored toward households desiring yard space. There are roughly 161 persons per approved dwelling, underscoring a low-density residential environment. Moving forward, Grange is projected to see an additional 580 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly figures from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at its historic pace, incoming housing stock will easily satisfy resident demand, creating favorable market conditions for prospective buyers and potentially facilitating expansion above current demographic expectations.

Gleneagles Reserve Stormwater Management & Reserve Upgrade
Two-stage flood mitigation and open space project at Gleneagles Reserve in Seaton, delivered by the City of Charles Sturt to address flooding in the Meakin Terrace sub-catchment. Stage 1 created a larger and deeper stormwater detention basin of approximately 7,200 cubic metres, a new pump station on Dumfries Avenue designed to empty the basin within 24 to 48 hours after a storm, rock-filled vertical gabion walls, a large stormwater pit and weir to divert high flows from the Dumfries Avenue main drain, and a realigned car park entrance at Ailsa Avenue.Construction ran from July 2024 to July 2025 with SEM as contractor, followed by hydroseeding of the basin. More than 200 trees were planted for a net gain of 35 trees. The works are modelled to prevent flooding of 23 properties in a 5 per cent rain event and 8 properties in a 100 year event, benefiting Leven Avenue, Tapleys Hill Road, Wilford Avenue and Prior Avenue.

3,188 residents of Grange (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 3,285. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 62.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 5,199, 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
Grange possesses a highly qualified workforce with considerable involvement across core public services, an unemployment rate standing at only 3.0%, and annual employment growth estimated at 6.0% under AreaSearch's statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed locals reached 3,188, maintaining a jobless rate 0.9% lower than the 3.8% recorded for Greater Adelaide, while the participation rate sits moderately lower than regional norms at 62.6% versus 66.4% across Greater Adelaide. Census metrics also indicated that 14.7% of working residents performed their duties from home, an outcome potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. Resident workers are primarily concentrated in health care & social assistance, education & training, along with construction.
Educational services show an especially high local concentration, recording a participation rate 1.2 times that of the wider region. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for 15.3% of resident employment, trailing the 17.7% observed across Greater Adelaide. Given the comparison between Census daytime workers and total resident labour, this largely suburban community provides relatively few jobs within its own borders. An examination of ABS and SALM records aggregated by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12 months leading to March 2026, local employment expanded by 6.0% while the broader labour pool grew by 4.6%, contributing to a 1.3 percentage point decrease in unemployment. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment and labour supply rise by 4.2% and 4.0% respectively, alongside a 0.2 percentage point drop in joblessness. Broader labor projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 give perspective on long-term workforce trajectory. Across the nation, total positions are anticipated to grow by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though individual industry paths vary considerably. Translating these industry-level expectations across Grange's workforce composition indicates potential local job expansion of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years (a modeled calculation for comparison that excludes localized population adjustments).

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 — 103 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,143 at the 2021 Census → 6,277 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 Aug 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.
