Sales Detail
Melrose Park (SA) has an estimated 2,704 residents, up from 2,319 at the 2021 Census — a change of 385 people, or 16.6%. Growth has averaged 3.0% a year over five years, faster than 87% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,049 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside recent address points verified by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Melrose Park (SA) has an estimated resident count of approximately 2,704 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 385 residents (16.6%) from the 2021 Census, when 2,319 individuals were recorded. This adjustment is calculated from an estimated resident total of 2,702, which AreaSearch identified by examining the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus an additional seven validated new addresses identified after the Census date.
This size of population translates to a density of 2,048 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical figure across national areas reviewed by AreaSearch. The 16.6% growth rate in the suburb of Melrose Park (SA) since the 2021 census was higher than the SA3 area (5.6%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion was mostly supported by arrival of overseas migrants, which acted as almost the only source of demographic gains lately. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 locality, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for the years after 2032, projections by age group from the SA State Government released in 2023 utilizing 2021 data are used, with adjustments made by aggregating population growth from LGA to SA2 levels using a weighted approach. Factoring in these demographic transitions, growth is expected to align with the lowest quartile of statistical areas nationally, with the suburb of Melrose Park (SA) projected to add 92 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level figures, indicating a total rise of 3.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
85 new dwellings have been approved in Melrose Park (SA) over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 78th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 34, 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building permits allocated from statistical area records, Melrose Park averages approximately 17 dwellings approved for construction each year, summing to about 85 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 32 permits have been registered. Because an average of 4.4 people per year relocated to the area for every home constructed during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand heavily outstrips new supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer rivalry, with new residential projects averaging an expected construction cost of $412,000, indicating that developers are focusing on upmarket, premium properties.
Compared with Greater Adelaide, building approvals per resident in Melrose Park are 100.0% higher, giving buyers a broader selection of properties. Recent residential building permits consist of 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% medium and high-density options, demonstrating a growing supply of medium-density choices that provide diverse opportunities at different price points, ranging from conventional family properties to cheaper compact options. Having approximately 121 people for each dwelling permit, Melrose Park displays the characteristics of a growing locality. Demographic predictions point to Melrose Park adding 90 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Looking at current construction trends, the supply of new housing is set to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population increases above current forecasts.

1,613 residents of Melrose Park (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,646. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 73.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 3,834, about 142% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 highly educated, featuring strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, and a yearly employment growth estimate of 8.5% based on AreaSearch figures compiled from statistical areas. In March 2026, 1,613 local citizens were employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.8% below the 3.8% rate of Greater Adelaide, while labor participation is far higher than the regional average, standing at 73.6% compared to 66.6% in Greater Adelaide. Census records show a modest 12.2% of workers performed their duties from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. Conversely, manufacturing has a minimal footprint, employing 4.3% of the workforce compared to 7.0% across the region. With 1.4 jobs available for every local resident at the time of the Census, the locality serves as a major job center, offering more employment positions than it has working residents and drawing commuters from neighboring suburbs. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the wider statistical areas show that in the year ending March 2026, employment grew by 8.5% and the local labor force expanded by 8.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment rise by 4.2% and its labor force grow by 4.0%, with a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. Future local employment demand can be further analyzed using the national forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year predictions have been compared with local employment patterns to estimate growth. Locally, while national jobs are projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary substantially by sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry distribution suggests employment in Melrose Park will grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted projection for comparison that does not incorporate local population growth estimates.

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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,319 at the 2021 Census → 2,704 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 (SAL40857). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
