Detail
According to ABS population updates for the wider region and new address counts verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Meadows has an estimated residency of 1,886 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 169 people (9.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 1,717 residents. The figure is calculated from a resident count of 1,876, computed by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP data release (June 2025) plus 51 validated new addresses registered since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 44 persons per square kilometer, which represents a spacious layout.
The suburb of Meadows experienced a 9.8% expansion rate since the 2021 census, outpacing the state average of 7.5% as well as Greater Adelaide, positioning it as a leading growth zone. Demographic expansion was mostly driven by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 48.0% of the population growth, though all contributors, including interstate and international migration, registered positive gains. AreaSearch implements projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for the years following 2032, regional and LGA projections by age bracket from the SA State Government (released in 2023 based on 2021 numbers) are utilized, adjusting them through weighted aggregation of population expansion from the LGA level down to SA2 boundaries. Looking ahead, the suburb of Meadows is projected to experience population growth slightly below the national median, with the local population expected to increase by 180 residents by 2041 according to combined SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 9.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
106 new dwellings have been approved in Meadows over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That is 12.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, 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
Meadows registers about 21 approved residential builds each year, with approximately 106 houses authorized during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 9 so far in FY-26. Over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), an average of 2.1 individuals moved to the area for every newly built home, demonstrating solid demand that is likely to bolster property valuations. The average construction cost of these new residences stands at $387,000, which indicates that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium housing sector. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $3.5 million have been logged during the current financial year, which highlights the residential nature of the locality.
In comparison to Greater Adelaide, building activity in Meadows is slightly elevated, running 19.0% higher than the regional average per resident over the 5 year period, which maintains options for purchasers while reinforcing existing property values, despite a recent slowdown in construction approvals. This rate of development stands well above the national benchmark, showing high developer confidence in the area. Additionally, all recent construction has consisted of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the neighborhood and catering to buyers looking for larger properties. There are approximately 265 residents for every dwelling approval, pointing to potential for future expansion. According to demographic projections, Meadows is set to add 170 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Under current building rates, residential supply appears well-positioned to satisfy demand, creating a positive market for buyers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces these predictions.

1,082 residents of Meadows are employed, from a labour force of 1,108. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 74.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,408, about 75% 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
The local workforce is characterized by strong skill levels, particularly within the construction industry, coupled with an unemployment rate of only 2.3% and a 4.9% increase in jobs over the past year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,082, while the local jobless rate sat 1.5% below the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%. Workforce participation reached an elevated 74.3% compared to 66.6% in Greater Adelaide. Census records show that a modest 11.2% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may be influenced by pandemic lockdown measures. The leading employment fields for residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The locality shows a high concentration of jobs in agriculture, forestry & fishing, with representation 5.4 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 13.8% of local employment, which is lower than the Greater Adelaide figure of 17.7%. Comparing the Census count of working residents against local jobs suggests that the area provides a modest volume of employment opportunities within its borders. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional levels, the 12-month window experienced a 4.9% expansion in jobs alongside a 5.1% rise in the labor force, leading to a minor increase in the unemployment rate of 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Adelaide saw employment grow by 4.2% and the labor force expand by 4.0%, while its unemployment rate dropped by 0.2 percentage points. Future labor needs in Meadows can be analyzed further using national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with local job sectors to model future trends. While country-wide employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Mapping these industry-specific trends to the local job profile suggests that employment in Meadows will rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, based on a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local population growth 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 — 51 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,717 at the 2021 Census → 1,886 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 (SAL40853). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
