Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Holden Hill

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Of the 25 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 72% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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 calculations of ABS building consent records indicate that Holden Hill has averaged approximately 28 dwelling approvals per year, resulting in an estimated 142 total homes approved over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 6 approvals have been documented. Since local numbers have decreased in recent times, this supply has likely aligned with demand, preserving options for prospective buyers while new construction shows an average cost of $323,000. In addition, $17.1 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, which points to steady business investment.

Per capita building approvals in Holden Hill are 62.0% higher than in Greater Adelaide, creating more opportunities for buyers, although construction volume has softened of late. Detached houses account for 72.0% of the building approvals while 28.0% are attached residences, which preserves the traditional low-density suburban landscape suitable for families. Having roughly 168 people per residential consent shows that the area is characterized by low density. Long-range estimates indicate the suburb of Holden Hill will add 240 residents by 2041, calculated from the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction is maintained, the housing supply will be more than sufficient to accommodate this growth, supporting favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially allowing for population gains that exceed current expectations.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years.

Detail

Holden Hill features a well-educated labor force with strong representation in essential service industries, and has an unemployment rate of 4.6% based on statistical data processed by AreaSearch.

Transport, postal & warehousing shows a heavy concentration locally, employing workers at 1.4 times the regional rate. Conversely, education & training is less represented locally at 8.2% compared to 9.3% across the region. Although local businesses provide some employment opportunities, a comparison of the Census working population against local resident numbers suggests a significant portion of the workforce travels outside the suburb for employment. An analysis of SALM and ABS data processed by AreaSearch shows that over a 12-month span, the local workforce shrank by 0.7% and total employment fell by 1.5%, driving a rise in the unemployment rate of 0.8 percentage points. This differs from Greater Adelaide, which saw employment grow by 4.2%, the labor force expand by 4.0%, and unemployment drop by 0.2 percentage points. Future expectations for Holden Hill can be evaluated using national employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future employment trajectories. While national forecasts predict a 6.6% employment expansion over five years and a 13.7% increase over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these specific industry projections to the employment composition of Holden Hill indicates that local employment would grow by 6.6% in five years and 13.8% in ten years, using a simple weighted extrapolation based on industry mix without considering localized demographic projections.

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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,716 at the 2021 Census → 3,623 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL40601). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Holden Hill suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Holden Hill page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Holden Hill data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
