Sales Detail
North Adelaide has an estimated 7,521 residents, up from 6,823 at the 2021 Census — a change of 698 people, or 10.2%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. 240 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 1,478 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic figures with post-Census address confirmations, the suburb of North Adelaide has reached an estimated 7,521 residents as of Aug 2026. This marks a rise of 698 people (10.2%) from the 6,823 persons recorded during the 2021 Census. The calculation stems from an assessed resident count of 7,516, derived from the ABS ERP release in June 2025 alongside 240 validated new addresses logged after the Census date. Consequently, population density stands at 1,477 persons per square kilometer, placing it above the standard national benchmark measured by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both Greater Adelaide and South Australia overall (7.7%), the suburb of North Adelaide's 10.2% increase since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional frontrunner in population growth, with inbound overseas migration serving as the principal, almost exclusive, growth catalyst over recent times. Projections generated by the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are incorporated at the SA2 level by AreaSearch. In locations lacking this coverage or extending past post-2032, population forecasts released by the SA State Government in 2023 across age categories (utilizing 2021 benchmarks) are applied through weighted LGA-to-SA2 aggregation methods. Based on these expected shifts, the suburb of North Adelaide is anticipated to track slightly below the national median rate of increase, growing by 922 persons to 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates, which denotes an expansion of 12.2% over the span of 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
330 new dwellings have been approved in North Adelaide over the past five years, an average of 66 a year. That is 6.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 7% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Analysis of ABS residential approval statistics by AreaSearch shows that the suburb of North Adelaide logs approximately 66 approved dwellings annually, totaling about 330 approved residential units across the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), with 3 recorded in FY-25 to date. With an average of 1.9 incoming residents added yearly for each built dwelling throughout the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, construction pace and resident intake have shown steady alignment; however, the ratio has surged to 20 people per dwelling over the previous 2 financial years, pointing toward rising interest and prospective housing shortages.
Expected construction costs average $1,200,000 per development project, reflecting a strategic focus among builders on high-end, luxury stock. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $148.1 million have been logged this financial year, underscoring significant non-residential development activity. North Adelaide exhibits roughly half the per capita rate of new dwelling approvals when measured against Greater Adelaide, placing it within the 13th percentile of areas evaluated across the nation. This positioning suggests somewhat restricted buyer choices while increasing pressure on existing housing stock. Current construction activity shows that 7.0% of new dwellings are detached houses and 93.0% are townhouses or apartments. The shift toward more compact development creates affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. The area records approximately 1062 residents per dwelling approval, indicating a mature and stable market. Looking forward, the latest quarterly projection from AreaSearch indicates that North Adelaide is positioned to gain 917 residents by 2041. Provided prevailing building activity continues, incoming dwelling supply appears well-suited to satisfy future buyer demand, offering favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating demographic gains in excess of current forecasts.

The former centre site will return over 1,000 square metres to Park Lands. YMCA Aquatic also operates the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre at Oaklands Park, with reciprocal access for members.
74-80 Melbourne Street Mixed-Use Development
Proposed six-level mixed-use development by Leyton Property comprising 19 apartments above a ground-floor shop or cafe tenancy, plus a separate two-storey dwelling fronting Sussex Street and 26 on-site car spaces. The State Commission Assessment Panel refused planning consent for DA 25033243 on 11 March 2026, so the scheme remains a proposal rather than an approved or construction-stage project.
Bowden Urban Renewal Project

4,507 residents of North Adelaide are employed, from a labour force of 4,623. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 65.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,977, about 146% 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
North Adelaide's labor market is characterized by a highly qualified talent base and significant professional services activity, featuring an unemployment rate of 2.5% alongside a 5.4% annual employment increase per AreaSearch statistical aggregations. By March 2026, employed residents reached 4,507, with local unemployment sitting 1.3% beneath the Greater Adelaide level of 3.8%, while participation aligns closely with the metropolitan figure of 66.4%. Census figures indicated that 15.3% of workers operated from home, a metric subject to the effects of Covid-19 restrictions at the time. The primary employment fields for the local workforce consist of health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and education & training.
The precinct displays notable specialization in professional & technical fields, recording an employment concentration 1.9 times that of the surrounding region. Conversely, construction represents a modest 4.7% of local employment, well beneath the regional benchmark of 8.7%. Generating 1.5 jobs for every resident at the Census, the suburb acts as an employment hub, drawing in substantial commuter inflows from adjacent districts. According to AreaSearch's compilation of ABS and SALM metrics across surrounding statistical areas, the preceding 12-month period recorded a 5.4% expansion in employment alongside a 5.0% rise in the labor pool, reducing unemployment by 0.3 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Adelaide saw employment and labor force metrics grow by 4.2% and 4.0% respectively, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point reduction in unemployment. National employment outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in North Adelaide. Over five-year and ten-year horizons, nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% and 13.7% respectively, though trajectories vary by industry sector. Overlaying these sectoral models onto North Adelaide's industry distribution indicates localized workforce expansions of 7.1% over five years and 14.7% over ten years (representing a baseline weighted extrapolation that excludes local demographic 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 — 240 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,823 at the 2021 Census → 7,521 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.
