Sales Detail
Marion has an estimated 4,162 residents, up from 4,101 at the 2021 Census — a change of 61 people, or 1.5%. That puts 2,081 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 AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS population revisions alongside post-Census address validations, the suburb of Marion is estimated to have a population of approximately 4,162 as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 61 people (1.5%) compared to the 4,101 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an Estimated Resident Population figure of 4,063 assessed by AreaSearch via the June 2025 ABS ERP release, supplemented by 30 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 2,081 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical average across national locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 87.0% of recent population gains for the suburb of Marion. Projections for the suburb of Marion incorporate ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2-level modeling published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline. For outer periods after 2032 or areas lacking coverage, projections utilize 2023 South Australian State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort forecasts based on 2021 figures, adapted via weighted aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Under these combined demographic expectations, the suburb of Marion is set to experience population expansion above the national median for statistical areas, expanding by 829 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates, which denotes an overall increase of 17.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
92 new dwellings have been approved in Marion over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 3.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 16, broadly in line with 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
An examination of ABS residential building approvals mapped across statistical areas by AreaSearch indicates that Marion averages approximately 18 residential approvals annually, yielding an estimated 92 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 16 approvals have been logged. With local population contracting over the recent timeframe, this incoming stock has likely met market requirements to provide prospective purchasers with sufficient options, alongside an average expected construction cost of $398,000 per dwelling. Furthermore, the local area logged $26.5 million in commercial approvals throughout the current financial year, pointing to a moderate volume of non-residential construction.
On a per-capita basis, construction volume in Marion runs at roughly half the rate of Greater Adelaide, positioning the suburb at the 49th percentile among nationally tracked locations, which constrains new purchase choices while bolstering demand across established housing. Recent residential approvals are split evenly, consisting of 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density dwelling types delivers more accessible price points for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. It also marks a departure from the current built environment (where separate houses constitute 68.0%), signaling diminishing greenfield or infill land availability alongside a shift toward versatile, cost-effective dwelling formats. With approximately 302 people per dwelling approval, the precinct retains low-density development characteristics. Long-term demographic forecasts anticipate Marion expanding by 730 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures. If dwelling construction continues at its current cadence, the delivery of new homes may fall behind population growth, potentially heightening competition among buyers and reinforcing upward pressure on local property values.

1,987 residents of Marion are employed, from a labour force of 2,061. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 57.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,819, about 92% 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
Marion possesses a highly qualified local workforce anchored heavily in essential community services, posting an unemployment rate of only 3.6% alongside an estimated 3.3% annual expansion in employment, according to AreaSearch statistical area aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents tally 1,987, with joblessness tracking 0.2% below the Greater Adelaide benchmark of 3.8%. However, labor force participation sits notably lower at 57.8% relative to 66.4% across Greater Adelaide. Furthermore, Census records show that a modest 10.6% of workers operated from home, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions. The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The suburb exhibits a clear specialization in health care & social assistance, capturing an employment concentration 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, manufacturing accounts for a smaller footprint, employing 4.9% of local workers compared to 7.0% across the wider region. Given the disparity between the local working population and resident worker counts in Census data, this largely residential community provides relatively few employment opportunities within its immediate boundaries. Synthesizing SALM and ABS statistical records, AreaSearch figures indicate that local employment expanded by 3.3% over the 12-month period while the broader labor force grew by 2.8%, driving a 0.4 percentage points reduction in unemployment. In comparison, Greater Adelaide recorded a 4.2% lift in employment, a 4.0% increase in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage points decrease in the jobless rate. Looking forward, Jobs and Skills Australia's national forecasts from Mar-26 provide context on workforce trajectories when mapped against Marion's industry composition over five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to rise 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Weighting these projections against the local industry baseline suggests employment for Marion residents could increase by 7.1% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, representing a direct weighting model for illustrative comparison that excludes local population adjustments.

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 — 30 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,101 at the 2021 Census → 4,162 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.
