Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic revisions and validated post-Census address additions, the suburb of Modbury has reached an estimated population of approximately 6,180 as of Aug 2026. This marks an expansion of 587 residents (10.5%) relative to the 5,593 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. These figures stem from an estimated resident count of 6,149 established via the ABS June 2025 ERP release alongside 220 validated new addresses logged following the Census. Consequently, the suburb of Modbury registers a population density of 1,861 persons per square kilometer, sitting above typical national levels evaluated by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 10.5% local expansion outpaced both South Australia and the wider SA3 area (4.1%), establishing the suburb of Modbury as a regional growth leader, with overseas migration driving roughly 91.0% of recent population additions. Projections compiled by ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are utilised by AreaSearch for SA2 geographic divisions. For post-2032 horizons or SA2 districts lacking this baseline, 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort forecasts based on 2021 numbers are incorporated through a weighted population growth aggregation approach from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Demographically, future growth for the suburb of Modbury is modeled just under the national median across statistical divisions, with aggregated SA2 estimates indicating an influx of 492 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative 16-year increase of 7.5%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
485 new dwellings have been approved in Modbury over the past five years, an average of 97 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 16 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 94 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 65% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 75, 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
Dwelling approval data from the ABS analysed across statistical areas indicates that Modbury has generated roughly 97 residential permits annually, accumulating to approximately 485 new residences across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 75 approvals have been documented. With an average of 1.1 additional inhabitants per constructed residence recorded each year between FY-21 and FY-25, residential demand and supply remain well-matched, supporting stable conditions where average construction cost per new build sits at $334,000. Additionally, $31.5 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, highlighting solid momentum in non-residential development.
Per capita construction activity in Modbury exceeds the Greater Adelaide benchmark by 245.0%, providing prospective purchasers with broader selection. This volume also outstrips national figures by a considerable margin, reflecting robust builder confidence in the suburb. Detached houses constitute 65.0% of incoming residential supply while apartments and townhouses make up 35.0%, pointing to an increasing presence of medium-density formats that span diverse budget levels—ranging from traditional family homes to compact entry-level dwellings. Averaging approximately 75 people per dwelling approval, Modbury demonstrates clear markers of an expanding urban centre. According to the most recent quarterly calculation from AreaSearch, Modbury is projected to expand by 461 residents by 2041. Given prevailing building rates, upcoming residential construction appears well positioned to satisfy local requirements, sustaining favourable buyer conditions while potentially enabling population gains beyond existing projections.

3,183 residents of Modbury are employed, from a labour force of 3,331. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 63.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 8,025, about 130% 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
Statistical area analysis compiled by AreaSearch indicates that Modbury maintains an educated labour pool with strong presence in essential services, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 4.4% and an estimated annual job growth of 1.8%. As of March 2026, employed residents tally 3,183, while the local jobless rate sits 0.6% higher than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8%. Meanwhile, the local participation rate of 63.9% trails the Greater Adelaide benchmark of 66.4%. At the Census, only 7.9% of employed locals indicated working from home, a metric that may reflect temporary Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Administrative & support services display a particularly pronounced concentration, employing workers at 1.5 times the wider regional proportion. Conversely, education & training accounts for 7.8% of the local workforce, trailing the Greater Adelaide mark of 9.3%. Hosting 1.1 jobs per resident at the Census date, the locality operates as an employment destination, drawing in personnel from surrounding suburbs and sustaining more positions than resident workers. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, employment levels increased by 1.8% and labour force increased by 2.6%, resulting in unemployment rise by 0.7 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Adelaide, where employment rose by 4.2%, the labour force grew by 4.0%, and unemployment fell 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Modbury. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Modbury's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 220 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,593 at the 2021 Census → 6,180 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 (SAL40898). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
