Ottoway has an estimated 2,769 residents. That puts 2,114 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 regional ABS demographic releases and newly validated local addresses since the Census, the suburb of Ottoway has an estimated count of approximately 2,769 residents as of Aug 2026. This equates to a contraction of 14 people (0.5%) relative to the 2,783 people recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from an estimated resident population of 2,763 derived from the ABS ERP figures published in June 2025, alongside 16 validated new addresses added post-Census. Consequently, the suburb of Ottoway registers a population density of 2,113 persons per square kilometer, placing it above the national benchmark across AreaSearch study locations.
Inbound overseas migration served as the foremost engine of demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 56.00000000000001% of recent net additions, while natural increase and interstate movements likewise registered positive contributions. Demographic modeling incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections published in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures. For locations outside this coverage or extending beyond 2032, models integrate the SA State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA age-cohort forecasts grounded in 2021 numbers, harmonized via weighted LGA-to-SA2 growth distributions. Over the forecast horizon, the suburb of Ottoway is anticipated to experience population expansion tracking above the national median, gaining an estimated 426 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, which corresponds to an overall 15.2% expansion across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
128 new dwellings have been approved in Ottoway over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That is 9.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 46% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
ABS residential building permit records examined by AreaSearch indicate that Ottoway averages roughly 25 approved dwellings annually, totaling approximately 128 authorized residences across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 2 recorded to date in FY-25. Because net population intake has averaged only 0.3 people per year per completed home across the prior 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local housing additions are keeping pace with or outstripping demographic demand, enhancing options for purchasers and accommodating faster-than-projected population growth, with new residential projects carrying an average expected construction value of $428,000.
Furthermore, the current financial year has seen $10.2 million in commercial building approvals, indicating moderate commercial construction. Per capita building volumes in Ottoway exceed the broader metropolitan pace, tracking 14.0% above the regional average over the 5 year period, which maintains ample buyer selection while bolstering prevailing home values despite a broader easing in construction activity in recent times. Attached dwellings and multi-unit projects constitute 54.0% of upcoming stock alongside 46.0% detached houses. This emphasis on medium-density formats creates lower-cost homeownership opportunities suitable for downsizers, entry-level buyers, and investors. This pattern diverges significantly from the current neighborhood fabric (which stands at 74.0% houses), signaling diminished greenfield land capacity together with shifting lifestyle preferences and an imperative for diverse, affordable living. With roughly 1843 people per approval, the locality displays the hallmarks of an established urban environment. Over the period extending to 2041, latest AreaSearch quarterly figures indicate that Ottoway is slated to welcome 420 additional residents. Existing rates of homebuilding are positioned to comfortably fulfill emerging residential requirements, sustaining advantageous conditions for purchasers and providing capacity to support population growth beyond baseline expectations.

1,296 residents of Ottoway are employed, from a labour force of 1,381. Unemployment sits at 6.2%, with participation at 60.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,508, about 91% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Ottoway features a diverse occupational profile encompassing both white-collar and industrial professions, highlighted by strong manufacturing representation, an unemployment rate of 6.2%, and an estimated 5.0% annual expansion in employment based on localized statistical datasets. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,296, while local joblessness stood 2.3% above the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide, alongside a participation rate of 60.5% that trails the wider metropolitan level of 66.4%. Census figures showed only 4.4% of working locals operating from home, though pandemic restrictions at the time should be kept in mind.
The primary employment fields for the local workforce comprise health care & social assistance, manufacturing, as well as accommodation & food. Manufacturing exhibits an exceptionally heavy footprint, employing residents at 1.9 times the metropolitan rate. Conversely, education & training accounts for a smaller proportion of workers at 4.1%, compared with 9.3% across the wider region. Comparing Census numbers of locally situated positions with the resident labor pool indicates that this largely residential community provides limited local employment opportunities. Aggregated SALM and ABS figures for broader areas analyzed by AreaSearch show that in the year to March 2026, local headcount grew by 5.0% while the workforce base enlarged by 2.1%, causing unemployment to drop by 2.6 percentage points. Across Greater Adelaide over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 4.2%, labor supply widened by 4.0%, and unemployment fell by 0.2 percentage points. Future labor demand in Ottoway can be assessed against Jobs and Skills Australia national projections issued in Mar-26. These five- and ten-year sectoral outlooks have been matched against the local industry distribution to simulate future growth trajectories. Against nationwide job growth projections of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry variations mean Ottoway's occupational footprint is projected to yield employment gains of 5.8% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this represents an unadjusted industry-weighted projection that excludes specific local demographic shifts).

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 — 16 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,783 at the 2021 Census → 2,769 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 (SAL41081). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
