This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Para Hills West has an estimated 3,869 residents, up from 3,295 at the 2021 Census — a change of 574 people, or 17.4%. Growth has averaged 3.2% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 1,417 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
Based on assessments of ABS demographic releases for the wider region and new locations confirmed by AreaSearch after the Census, the resident count of the suburb of Para Hills West is calculated to be 3,869 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 574 people (17.4%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 3,295 residents. The estimate is derived from a baseline population of 3,856 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 85 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population translates to a density of 1,417 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the national average benchmarked by AreaSearch.
The 17.4% expansion rate of the suburb of Para Hills West since the 2021 census was greater than that of the SA3 region (3.9%) and the broader state, establishing the locality as a regional leader in population growth. This expansion was mainly powered by arrivals from overseas, which made up approximately 62.0% of the total demographic growth in recent times. For each SA2 boundary, AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the starting point. Where this data is unavailable or for periods after 2032, projections from the SA State Government organized by LGA, age bracket, and region from 2023 using 2021 data are utilized, using a population growth weighting method to translate LGA figures to SA2 boundaries. Looking at future demographic shifts, the suburb of Para Hills West is projected to experience growth slightly below the national median for statistical regions, with an estimated rise of 174 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a 4.2% expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
229 new dwellings have been approved in Para Hills West over the past five years, an average of 45 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 85% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 96, running ahead of 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
Analysis of building approval statistics from the ABS compiled for this area indicates that Para Hills West averages approximately 45 dwelling approvals annually, with 229 residential units approved over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and an additional 88 approved during FY-26. A ratio of 2.5 people per year added for every new dwelling constructed over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates strong demand that maintains real estate values, with new builds averaging a construction cost of $329,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $2.7 million have been registered during this financial year, highlighting that the neighborhood remains predominantly residential.
Per capita development volume in Para Hills West is 264.0% higher than the rate in Greater Adelaide, offering prospective buyers a wider range of options. This volume sits far above the national benchmark, indicating high developer interest in the neighborhood. Residential construction is split between detached houses at 85.0% and semi-detached or attached options at 15.0%, preserving the low-density character of the neighborhood with a focus on spacious family residences. A ratio of approximately 72 people per approved dwelling indicates a region undergoing active development. Looking forward, the population of Para Hills West is projected to rise by 161 residents by 2041, starting from the most recent quarterly projections compiled by AreaSearch. Provided construction rates persist, the supply of new housing should easily accommodate this growth, ensuring favorable purchasing conditions and potentially opening opportunities for population gains beyond current forecasts.

1,823 residents of Para Hills West are employed, from a labour force of 1,952. Unemployment sits at 6.6%, with participation at 60.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 4,217, about 109% 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
The local workforce displays a balanced mix of professional and manual occupations, with a strong presence in essential services, a jobless rate of 6.6%, and employment growing by an estimated 3.2% over the last year according to compiled statistical data. As of March 2026, 1,823 local residents are employed, though the unemployment rate is 2.8% higher than the Greater Adelaide level of 3.8%, and participation in the labor market is notably lower (60.1% compared to 66.6% in Greater Adelaide). Census records show that a low 6.0% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure may be influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. The neighborhood exhibits a strong concentration in manufacturing, where the employment proportion is 1.4 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for only 3.8% of the local workforce compared to 7.3% across Greater Adelaide. At the time of the Census, there were 0.7 jobs located in the area for every resident worker, demonstrating a higher-than-average level of local employment opportunities. Compiled data from SALM and the ABS indicates that for the year ending March 2026, the number of employed residents grew by 3.2% and the active labor force expanded by 4.3%, which caused the unemployment rate to rise by 0.9 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Adelaide recorded a 4.2% increase in employment, a 4.0% expansion in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 provide context for future hiring patterns in the region. These forecasts for five and ten-year horizons have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary widely by sector. Mapping these industry projections onto the local employment profile indicates that local job counts could rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection for comparison that does not incorporate local demographic 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 — 85 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,295 at the 2021 Census → 3,869 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 (SAL41097). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
