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

As of November 2025, the estimated population of Greenwith is around 10,404. This figure reflects an increase from the 2021 Census count of 10,103 people, marking a rise of 301 individuals (3.0%). The latest resident population estimate by AreaSearch, based on ABS ERP data released in June 2024 and validated new addresses since the Census date, is 10,393. This results in a population density ratio of 1,328 persons per square kilometer, higher than the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration contributed approximately 54.0% to recent population gains in the suburb.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered and years post-2032, South Australian State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category are adopted, based on 2021 data and adjusted using weighted aggregation methods from LGA to SA2 levels. Future population projections indicate an increase just below the median for Australian statistical areas. By 2041, Greenwith is expected to gain 779 persons, reflecting a total growth of 7.5% over the 17-year period.

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 shows Greenwith had approximately 3 residential properties approved each year over the past five financial years, totaling about 18 homes. In FY26 so far, 2 approvals have been recorded. This results in an average of 14.6 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed between FY21 and FY25. Demand exceeds supply, which typically leads to price growth and increased buyer competition.

New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost value of $240,000, below regional levels, suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers. Commercial approvals this financial year totaled $3.8 million, indicating limited commercial development focus.

Recent development has consisted solely of standalone homes, preserving Greenwith's suburban nature and attracting space-seeking buyers. With around 4142 people per dwelling approval, Greenwith reflects a mature market. Population forecasts estimate Greenwith will gain 781 residents by 2041. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing buyer competition and supporting stronger price growth.
