Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Pasadena has an estimated 3,198 residents, up from 3,073 at the 2021 Census — a change of 125 people, or 4.1%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. That puts 1,474 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

Drawing from an evaluation of ABS demographic releases for the region and address validations by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Pasadena has an estimated population of 3,198 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 125 residents (4.1%) from the 2021 Census, when the count was 3,073 people. This trend is derived from a resident headcount of 3,182, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS demographic data from June 2025 alongside an additional 28 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 1,473 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure for locations analyzed by AreaSearch.

The 4.1% post-census growth rate for the suburb of Pasadena is within 1.5 percentage points of the wider SA3 region (5.6%), showing a competitive expansion rate. Local gains were mostly fueled by international migration, which represented approximately 79.0% of the demographic increase in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for each SA2 area. For SA2 territories where this data is missing, and for periods after 2032, regional and LGA projections by age bracket published by the SA State Government in 2023 (using 2021 numbers) are applied, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method to scale LGA growth to SA2 boundaries. Future projections indicate that the suburb of Pasadena will experience population growth above the national median, with a projected rise of 649 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 figures, showing a 19.8% expansion over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Pasadena

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

94 new dwellings have been approved in Pasadena over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 6.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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

AreaSearch metrics on ABS building approvals indicate that the suburb of Pasadena has averaged roughly 18 new residential permits annually, with about 94 dwellings approved over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 5 approvals recorded during the current FY-26. Because only 0.9 new residents were added per finished dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, residential construction is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand, which increases options for buyers and supports population growth potential beyond current projections. New homes have a mean construction value of $420,000, indicating that developers are focusing on upmarket, premium residences.

Commercial building approvals totaled $995,000 for this financial year, which highlights a primary emphasis on residential development. Relative to Greater Adelaide, the suburb of Pasadena registers 76.0% more residential development on a per-capita basis, offering prospective buyers plenty of options despite a deceleration in building starts lately. Of these new builds, 73.0% are standalone houses while 27.0% comprise townhouses or multi-unit dwellings, reinforcing the low-rise character of the neighborhood with larger layouts for family buyers. With approximately 235 residents for each home approval, the suburb of Pasadena displays typical low-density attributes. Long-term forecasts suggest the suburb of Pasadena will add 633 residents by 2041, measured from the latest quarterly figures compiled by AreaSearch.

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 — 28 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,073 at the 2021 Census → 3,198 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 (SAL41120). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Pasadena suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Pasadena page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Pasadena data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
