Normanville (SA)

Normanville lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

As of Nov 2025, Normanville's population is estimated at around 1,902 people. This reflects a decrease from the 2021 Census figure of 1,965 people, representing a drop of 63 individuals (3.2%). The current resident population estimate of 1,870 comes from AreaSearch's analysis of latest ERP data released by ABS in June 2024 and subsequent address validation since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of approximately 109 persons per square kilometer for Normanville (SA) statistical area (Lv2). Over the past decade, ending in Nov 2025, Normanville has shown resilient growth patterns with an average annual increase of 2.5%, outperforming its SA3 region. Interstate migration accounted for approximately 86% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 using a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years beyond 2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections are used, adjusted employing a method of weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 levels. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, Normanville (SA) is expected to increase its population by 275 persons to reach 2041, reflecting an overall growth of approximately 25.3% over the 17-year period.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Normanville when compared nationally

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Normanville had around 11 dwelling approvals per year. Between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 59 homes were approved, with one more in FY-26. Each new dwelling attracted an average of 3.7 people annually over the past five financial years.

This supply-demand mismatch indicates heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures. Developers target the premium market segment, with new properties valued at around $528,000 on average. Commercial approvals this year totalled $1.6 million, suggesting a predominantly residential focus. Compared to Rest of SA, Normanville has significantly less development activity (54.0% below regional average per person).

This constrained supply typically reinforces demand and pricing for existing dwellings. Recent building activity consists solely of detached dwellings, maintaining the area's low density character with family homes being popular. With around 182 people per dwelling approval, Normanville exhibits characteristics of a low-density area. Population forecasts indicate Normanville will gain 481 residents by 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to meet population growth, potentially exacerbating buyer competition and supporting price increases.
