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.

Highbury (SA) has an estimated 7,394 residents, up from 6,956 at the 2021 Census — a change of 438 people, or 6.3%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 48.0% of that increase. That puts 1,704 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
According to ABS population updates for the wider region and new address verifications by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Highbury (SA) has a population estimated at approximately 7,394 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 438 individuals (6.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 6,956 residents. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 7,365, which AreaSearch estimated after evaluating the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an extra 26 validated new addresses post-Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,703 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figures recorded across locations assessed nationally by AreaSearch.
The 6.3% growth rate since the census sits within 1.2 percentage points of the state average (7.5%), highlighting competitive local growth dynamics. Population gains were primarily supported by overseas migration, which made up roughly 48.0% of the total increase during recent times, though natural increase and interstate migration also registered positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for the period following 2032, regional and LGA projections by age category from the SA State Government (published in 2023 using 2021 data) are applied, adjusting the figures via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 scale. Future trends suggest that the suburb of Highbury (SA) will experience population growth above the median of statistical areas tracked by AreaSearch, with forecasts predicting an increase of 968 persons to 2041 using aggregated SA2 projections, representing a total gain of 12.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
135 new dwellings have been approved in Highbury (SA) over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 94% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 45, 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
AreaSearch analysis of building approvals from the ABS, distributed from statistical area statistics, indicates that Highbury averages roughly 27 new home approvals annually, accumulating to an estimated 135 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 42 approvals have been logged. With an average of 3.4 new residents per year for each home constructed over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, new supply is lagging behind demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices. Newly built properties average a value of $412,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing the higher-end market segment with premium builds.
Furthermore, $380,000 in commercial approvals have been registered during this financial year, reinforcing the residential focus of the neighborhood. Recent construction data indicates that 94.0% of approvals were for detached dwellings, with 6.0% for medium and high-density housing, preserving the classic residential feel focused on spacious family properties. Averaging roughly 212 people for every approved dwelling, Highbury exhibits the hallmarks of a developing area. Projecting forward, Highbury is anticipated to add 939 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Property development is keeping a reasonable pace with the projected population increase, though buyers could see heightened competition as the local population grows.

4,057 residents of Highbury (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 4,116. Unemployment sits at 1.4%, with participation at 67.3%. 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 5,479, about 74% 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
Highbury has a well-educated labor force with strong representation in essential services, a minor unemployment rate of 1.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 0.8% over the past year, calculated from AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, 4,057 local citizens are employed. The local unemployment rate sits 2.4% below the 3.8% recorded for Greater Adelaide, while workforce participation is comparable to the Greater Adelaide level of 66.6%. Census data indicates a low 11.7% of residents worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The top industries employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. There is a notable concentration in education & training, which accounts for 1.3 times the regional average share. In contrast, health care & social assistance is under-represented, employing 16.1% of the local workforce compared to 17.7% in Greater Adelaide. The heavily residential nature of the area suggests limited local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of working residents against local jobs. Based on AreaSearch research of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions, the 12-month timeframe saw a 0.8% increase in employment alongside a 0.7% rise in the labor force, leaving the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. In comparison, Greater Adelaide experienced employment growth of 4.2% and labor force growth of 4.0%, with its unemployment rate dropping by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand patterns in Highbury. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, although rates differ widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment structure suggests Highbury's job numbers would grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes local population forecasts.

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 — 26 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,956 at the 2021 Census → 7,394 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.
