Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Mannum has an estimated population of around 3,128, according to AreaSearch research that incorporated post-Census address validation along with broader ABS demographic updates. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 2,919 people, this indicates an expansion of 209 people (7.2%). This figure builds upon an estimated resident population of 3,121 derived from the June 2025 ABS ERP release, alongside 57 validated new addresses identified following the Census date. The resulting density stands at 12.2 persons per square kilometer, offering generous space per resident.
Outperforming both the Rest of SA and the wider SA3 area (6.0%), the suburb of Mannum recorded growth of 7.2% since the 2021 census to emerge as a local growth standout, with recent expansion heavily underpinned by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 82.0% of total inbound population gains. Demographic modeling by AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 release grounded on a 2022 base year, while areas without direct coverage or looking beyond 2032 integrate the 2023 SA State Government age-cohort LGA/Regional projections based on 2021 figures through weighted LGA-to-SA2 growth aggregation. Across the projected outlook, the suburb of Mannum is anticipated to record growth slightly below the non-capital regional median, expanding by 141 persons to 2041 via aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall rise of 4.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
168 new dwellings have been approved in Mannum over the past five years, an average of 33 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 40 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 52, 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
Residential building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area data show Mannum averaging around 33 approved dwellings annually, totaling an estimated 168 homes over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) with 52 logged during FY-25 to date. Because new arrivals averaged just 1 new residents per year per newly approved residence across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), building activity is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand, expanding options for purchasers and facilitating higher population capacity, alongside an average expected construction cost of $386,000 per dwelling.
Furthermore, non-residential approvals stand at $292,000 for the current financial year, underlining the dominant residential orientation of local development. Per-capita development activity in Mannum surpasses the Rest of SA by 110.0%, creating broadened opportunities for buyers and tracking well above national benchmarks to show pronounced builder interest. Detached houses account for 98.0% of new residential development while apartments or townhouses comprise 2.0%, preserving a low-density built environment centered around spacious family properties. With approximately 52 people per dwelling approval, the local development pipeline remains active. According to the latest quarterly demographic projections from AreaSearch, Mannum is forecast to add 134 residents through to 2041. Ongoing rates of residential development are poised to comfortably absorb projected household growth, sustaining favorable conditions for buyers and providing capacity for expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

1,165 residents of Mannum are employed, from a labour force of 1,235. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 45.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,604, about 83% 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
Aggregated statistical area metrics from AreaSearch show Mannum maintaining a diverse labor profile across blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by key public services, an unemployment rate of 5.7%, and an estimated annual employment increase of 3.1%. As of March 2026, 1,165 residents are employed, with the local jobless rate sitting 0.3% higher than Regional SA's 5.5%, while local participation of 45.4% trails the 58.3% recorded across Regional SA. Remote work uptake stood at 7.4% at the Census, although figures reflect the broader context of Covid-19 restrictions. Local resident employment is primarily oriented around health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Health care & social assistance demonstrates notable workforce concentration, representing 1.3 times the regional concentration. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for 8.0% of local workers relative to the regional benchmark of 14.5%, and comparisons between resident workers and Census workplace destination counts point to limited job opportunities within the immediate locality. Analysis of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the recent 12-month period, local employment grew by 3.1% alongside a 4.2% rise in the labor pool, leading to a 1.1 percentage points increase in the jobless rate, whereas Regional SA recorded 1.2% employment growth, a 2.6% labor force gain, and a 1.4 percentage point rise. Broader baseline projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 project nationwide job expansion of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighted against Mannum's industry distribution, these industry patterns suggest potential local employment growth of 6.0% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, based on illustrative industry weighting without factoring in localized population shifts.

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 — 57 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,919 at the 2021 Census → 3,128 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 Aug 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 (SAL40820). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
