This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to recent ABS population updates and AreaSearch validation of new addresses, the suburb of Hectorville has an estimated population of 4,806 as of May 2026. This figure represents a rise of 565 individuals, which corresponds to a 13.3% increase from the 2021 Census count of 4,241 residents. The current estimate combines a resident population of 4,790 derived from AreaSearch evaluation of the latest ERP data published by the ABS in June 2025, plus 94 newly validated addresses recorded after the Census date. This concentration of residents results in a density of 3,314 persons per square kilometer, ranking the suburb within the upper quartile when compared to other locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 13.3% expansion since 2021 surpassed both the state average of 7.5% and the SA3 region figure, identifying Hectorville as a leading growth area locally. Overseas migration accounted for roughly 96.0% of the population gains observed in recent years. Projections for each SA2 region are based on the 2024 releases from the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 as their starting point. Where this dataset lacks coverage, or for periods extending past 2032, population forecasts leverage the 2023 SA State Government Regional and LGA projections by age bracket, which utilize 2021 statistics and apply a weighted aggregation method to scale growth from local government areas to the SA2 level. Future trends point to growth exceeding the national median, with the suburb of Hectorville expected to add 943 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a 19.3% total increase over the course of 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
311 new dwellings have been approved in Hectorville over the past five years, an average of 62 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 49 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 73% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 42, well below 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 evaluations of building approvals from local statistical sectors indicate that the suburb of Hectorville averages approximately 62 new residential approvals annually, culminating in 311 approved dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 39 approvals have been logged. With an average of 1.8 new occupants per constructed dwelling per year between FY-21 and FY-25, demand matches supply well, supporting market stability. The average construction value of these approvals stands at $493,000, indicating that builders are targeting the higher-end market segment. Meanwhile, commercial approvals stand at $2.1 million for the current financial year, pointing to minimal activity in non-residential development.
In comparison to Greater Adelaide, the suburb of Hectorville records an 83.0% higher volume of new home approvals per capita, ensuring plenty of options for prospective buyers despite a recent slowdown in building pace. This volume is significantly higher than the national average, reflecting high builder confidence in the locality. The approved dwellings comprise 73.0% detached houses and 27.0% apartments or townhouses, which helps maintain the low-density feel of the area while catering to buyers looking for larger properties. With a ratio of roughly 101 individuals for every approved dwelling, the suburb of Hectorville displays the typical traits of an expanding residential zone. Forecasts indicate that the suburb of Hectorville is on track to welcome an additional 927 citizens by 2041, measured from the latest quarterly estimate compiled by AreaSearch. Keeping up the current pace of building should allow supply to meet demand comfortably, offering favorable circumstances for purchasers and potentially enabling growth that surpasses current projections.

Campbelltown Community Heart - New Council Office
Following extensive community consultation in late 2025, Campbelltown City Council resolved in December 2025 to proceed with a new, fit-for-purpose Council Office at the existing precinct at 172 Montacute Road, Rostrevor (Option A). The 1968 office building is outdated, overcrowded and no longer fit for purpose. A PAC was deferred as a potential second stage, to be explored after the new office is delivered. The Alinea Group was engaged to develop concept models for the site.Detailed planning is now underway. The project is part of Council's broader Creating our Community Heart vision for the Montacute Road precinct.

2,722 residents of Hectorville are employed, from a labour force of 2,843. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 68.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,636, about 76% 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
Data gathered by AreaSearch across statistical boundaries reveals that the suburb of Hectorville features a highly educated workforce, a strong concentration of professional services, an unemployment rate of 4.3%, and an estimated job growth rate of 6.1% over the past year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,722, while the local jobless rate sits 0.4% above the 3.8% recorded for Greater Adelaide. Labor participation matches standard levels at 68.6% compared to the Adelaide metropolitan rate of 66.6%. Census data indicates that a modest 10.4% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical services. The area exhibits a notable concentration in professional & technical services, with local employment shares reaching 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for only 5.3% of the local workforce, trailing the Greater Adelaide benchmark of 7.0%. Given the comparison between census workers and resident workers, this heavily residential area offers few employment opportunities within its own borders. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader regional boundaries indicates that the local workforce grew by 6.1% over the 12-month period, while the labor pool expanded by 5.8%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. During the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment rise by 4.2%, its labor force grow by 4.0%, and unemployment decrease by 0.2 percentage points. Further insight into employment trends within the suburb of Hectorville can be gathered from the national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate future growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely across different fields. Extrapolating these industry projections to the local employment distribution suggests that jobs held by residents in the suburb of Hectorville could grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection 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 — 94 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,241 at the 2021 Census → 4,806 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.
