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

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the population of Normanville (SA) is estimated at around 2,114 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 149 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,965 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,093 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024) and address validation since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 121 persons per square kilometer. Normanville's growth since the 2021 census exceeded the non-metro area (6.8%) and the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth was primarily driven by interstate migration contributing approximately 86.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered and years post-2032, SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Anticipating future population dynamics, an above median population growth is projected nationally for non-metropolitan areas. The suburb is expected to expand by 272 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 12.6% in total over the 17 years.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data shows Normanville experienced around 18 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 94 homes. In FY26 so far, 10 approvals have been recorded. Over these five years, approximately 2.3 people moved to the area annually for each new home constructed, indicating healthy demand supporting property values.

New homes are being built at an average expected construction cost of $528,000, targeting the premium market segment with higher-end properties. Compared to Rest of SA, Normanville shows around 75% of the construction activity per person and ranks among the 87th percentile nationally in terms of assessed areas. Recent building activity consists entirely of detached dwellings, preserving the area's low density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers.

Normanville reflects a developing area with approximately 95 people per approval. Population forecasts indicate Normanville will gain 266 residents by 2041 based on AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate. Current development patterns suggest new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.

Normanville has emerging levels of nearby infrastructure activity, ranking in the 22ndth percentile nationally

The area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities, as indicated by the count of Census working population versus resident population.

Over the 12 months to June 2025, labour force levels decreased by 2.8% and employment declined by 3.6%, resulting in a rise in unemployment rate by 1.0 percentage points. In comparison, Rest of SA saw employment fall by 1.2%, labour force expand by 0.1%, and unemployment rise by 1.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 offer insight into potential future demand within Normanville. These projections suggest national employment will expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with growth rates varying significantly between industry sectors. Applying these projections to Normanville's employment mix indicates local employment should increase by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, though these are simple weighted extrapolations for illustrative purposes and do not account for localised population projections.
