Panorama

An assessment of population growth drivers in Panorama reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, the estimated population of the suburb of Panorama is around 2,703 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 315 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,388 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,665 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 32 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,553 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Panorama's growth rate of 13.2% since the 2021 census exceeded that of the SA3 area (5.0%) and the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the suburb was primarily driven by overseas migration, contributing approximately 79.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category are adopted, released in 2023 based on 2021 data, with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Considering projected demographic shifts, an above median population growth is projected for the suburb, with an expected increase of 513 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a gain of 12.0% in total over the 17 years.
