Greenwith

Greenwith is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the Greenwith statistical area (Lv2)'s population is estimated at around 10,389 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 286 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,103 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 10,381, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024) and an additional 5 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,326 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 54.0% 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. Looking at population projections moving forward, a population increase just below the median of Australian statistical areas is expected, with the Greenwith (SA2) expected to increase by 778 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting recording a gain of 7.7% in total over the 17 years.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Greenwith according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers from statistical area data shows Greenwith has recorded approximately three residential properties granted approval each year over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 18 homes. So far in FY26, two approvals have been recorded. Over these five years (FY21 to FY25), there is an average of 14.6 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed.

Demand significantly exceeds new supply, which typically results in price growth and increased buyer competition. New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $240,000.

In this financial year, $4.0 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded, indicating the area's residential character. All new construction has comprised standalone homes, maintaining Greenwith's traditional suburban character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. The location has approximately 3452 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. Future projections estimate Greenwith adding 795 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.
