Sales Detail
Onkaparinga Hills has an estimated 2,634 residents. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 87% of areas nationally. That puts 105 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
Analysis of population updates from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with address records verified by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates the population of the suburb of Onkaparinga Hills is approximately 2,634 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 24 people (0.9%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 2,610 residents. The estimate is derived from a resident count of 2,632, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside 27 validated new addresses identified since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 105 persons per square kilometer, indicating low-density living and capacity for future expansion.
The primary contributor to local population growth was interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 76.0% of all gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for years after 2032, regional and LGA projections by age bracket from the SA State Government, published in 2023 based on 2021 numbers, are applied with adjustments calculated through a weighted aggregation of population growth from the LGA to the SA2 scale. Looking at future demographic trends, population growth is projected to be slightly below the median across Australian statistical areas, with the suburb of Onkaparinga Hills projected to add 317 residents by 2041 under these aggregated SA2-level forecasts, representing a total increase of 12.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
30 new dwellings have been approved in Onkaparinga Hills over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, well below 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
Based on analysis of ABS building approvals allocated from statistical areas, the suburb of Onkaparinga Hills has averaged approximately 6 dwelling approvals annually, resulting in an estimated 30 homes approved over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 4 approvals have been logged. With an average of 2 new residents per built dwelling annually over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, supply and demand appear balanced, maintaining stable market conditions, though this has shifted to -5.8 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, indicating a better alignment of supply and demand.
Development projects have a mean construction value of $305,000. In addition, commercial approvals for this financial year stand at $299,000, pointing to limited commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Adelaide, building activity in the suburb of Onkaparinga Hills is significantly subdued, running at 53.0% below the regional average per capita. This constrained supply pipeline typically bolsters demand and supports valuations for existing properties. This level of activity also sits below the national benchmark, highlighting the established profile of the area and pointing to possible planning restrictions. Furthermore, new residential approvals have consisted entirely of standalone houses, maintaining the low-density character of the area through a focus on detached homes that appeal to buyers seeking spaciousness. The ratio of 880 people in the area per single dwelling approval highlights a quiet development landscape with low overall activity. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Onkaparinga Hills will add 315 residents through to 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. Home building is keeping reasonable pace with this anticipated growth, though buyers might experience heightened competition as the population expands.

1,533 residents of Onkaparinga Hills are employed, from a labour force of 1,579. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 70.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 employment landscape in Onkaparinga Hills reflects a mix of white and blue collar roles, with strong representation in essential services sectors. The area recorded an unemployment rate of 3.0% and an estimated employment growth of 4.6% over the previous year, according to data aggregated by AreaSearch from statistical area sources. As of March 2026, there were 1,533 residents employed, and the local unemployment rate stood at 0.9% lower than Greater Adelaide's rate of 3.8%. Workforce participation in Onkaparinga Hills was 70.7%, which is moderately higher than the 66.6% rate observed in Greater Adelaide.
Census data indicates that only 10.4% of residents worked from home, a figure that may be influenced by the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdown measures. The primary employment industries for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The area features a particularly high concentration of construction workers, representing 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for only 5.1% of the local workforce compared to 7.3% across Greater Adelaide. The ratio of 0.6 workers per resident at the time of the Census indicates a level of local job opportunities that exceeds typical benchmarks. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, employment grew by 4.6% and the labor force expanded by 4.1% during the 12 months ending March 2026, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Adelaide saw employment increase by 4.2%, the labor force grow by 4.0%, and unemployment decrease by 0.2 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local employment mix suggests employment for residents will grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate localized population forecasts.

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 — 27 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,610 at the 2021 Census → 2,634 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 (SAL41076). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
