Parafield Gardens has an estimated 18,612 residents, up from 18,467 at the 2021 Census. That puts 2,648 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Parafield Gardens's population is estimated at around 18,612 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 145 people (0.8%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 18,467 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 18,589, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 82 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,647 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Over the past decade, the suburb of Parafield Gardens has demonstrated resilient growth patterns with a 1.0% compound annual growth rate, outpacing the SA3 area. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 65.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. As we examine future population trends, lower quartile growth of Australian statistical areas is anticipated, with the suburb of Parafield Gardens expected to expand by 766 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting reflecting an increase of 4.0% in total over the 16 years.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,130, about 81% 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
The suburb of Parafield Gardens possesses a capable workforce with strong representation in the industrial and production fields, exhibiting an unemployment rate of 6.1% and a relatively steady job market over the past year, according to compiled statistical area data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, working residents numbered 8,424, while the local jobless rate stood 2.3% higher than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8%, and the participation rate of 59.8% fell short of the 66.6% recorded across Greater Adelaide. Census answers indicated that a low 5.4% of the working population operated from home, though the influence of pandemic restrictions should be taken into account.
The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare and social assistance, production, and retail trade. The workforce shows a pronounced concentration in manufacturing, with a employment proportion that is 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional and technical services account for only 3.6% of local workers, compared to 7.3% in Greater Adelaide. The heavily residential nature of the district means it offers relatively few jobs within its borders, as shown by comparing the count of local workers to resident employees. According to analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data by AreaSearch, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 0.5% and the labor force grow by 1.0%, which caused the jobless rate to rise by 0.5 percentage points. This trend differed from Greater Adelaide, where employment expanded by 4.2%, the labor force grew by 4.0%, and unemployment fell by 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective employment needs in the suburb of Parafield Gardens. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future patterns. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by industry. Projecting these industry trends onto the local job mix indicates local employment is poised to expand by 6.0% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not integrate specific local population models.

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 — 82 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (18,467 at the 2021 Census → 18,612 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 (SAL41103). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
