Sales Detail
Renown Park has an estimated 1,705 residents, up from 1,663 at the 2021 Census — a change of 42 people, or 2.5%. That puts 2,706 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 evaluations of ABS demographics for the surrounding region, combined with address validations completed by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Renown Park has a population estimated at 1,705 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 42 residents (2.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, when the count was 1,663 individuals. The estimate is derived from a resident figure of 1,702, which AreaSearch calculated by analyzing the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures alongside 11 new addresses verified since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 2,706 residents per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of all Australian areas assessed by AreaSearch.
The primary driver of growth was international migration, which was responsible for approximately 91.0% of the population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories where this data is unavailable, as well as for periods after 2032, regional and LGA projections by age bracket from the SA State Government (released in 2023 using 2021 data) are used, applying weighted aggregation to translate LGA figures to the SA2 level. Future projections indicate that the suburb of Renown Park will see population growth exceeding the national median for statistical areas. Combined SA2 forecasts predict a rise of 359 individuals by 2041, which represents an overall growth of 20.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
78 new dwellings have been approved in Renown Park over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 9.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 20% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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's examination of ABS building approvals assigned from broader statistical regions indicates that the suburb of Renown Park averages approximately 15 approved homes per year. A total of 78 dwellings were approved across the last 5 financial periods (from FY-21 to FY-25), with 6 approvals recorded during the current FY-26. Because population declined during the prior timeframe, the volume of housing remained sufficient to meet demand, fostering a balanced marketplace with options for buyers. The average cost of new builds is $404,000, indicating that developers are focusing on upmarket, premium properties.
Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $8.1 million during this financial year, underscoring the residential focus of the locality. When compared to the broader Greater Adelaide region, the suburb of Renown Park shows equivalent per capita development volumes, helping to maintain market balance in line with metropolitan trends despite a recent slowdown in building projects. Current construction is composed of 20.0% standalone houses and 80.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings. This shift toward denser housing formats offers affordable entry points for first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This represents a major departure from the existing housing stock, which currently consists of 53.0% detached houses, reflecting a scarcity of vacant land and changing lifestyle and budget preferences. With approximately 213 residents for each approval, the suburb of Renown Park represents a low-density environment. Looking ahead, the population of the suburb of Renown Park is projected to expand by 356 people by 2041, based on recent quarterly assessments from AreaSearch. Considering current building trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this growth, supporting favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially allowing population gains to exceed current forecasts.

933 residents of Renown Park are employed, from a labour force of 971. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 66.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,357, about 80% 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 Renown Park is characterized by a highly educated workforce with strong representation in key service industries, an unemployment rate of just 3.9%, and an annual employment growth rate of 5.9% according to AreaSearch calculations of regional data. In March 2026, working residents numbered 933, matching the Greater Adelaide unemployment level of 3.8%. The labor force participation rate is also equivalent to the metropolitan average of 66.6%. Census data reveals that a modest 10.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary sectors employing residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical services, and accommodation & food services. The local population exhibits a high concentration in accommodation & food services, employing residents at 1.5 times the metropolitan average rate. In contrast, healthcare & social assistance is less represented locally, accounting for 15.7% of workers compared to the regional benchmark of 17.7%. A comparison between the census working population and resident population suggests this residential locality offers few local job opportunities. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the broader region shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 5.9% and the labor force expanded by 4.4%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 1.4 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Adelaide recorded employment growth of 4.2% and labor force growth of 4.0%, accompanied by a decline of 0.2 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide further context for future employment demand in the suburb of Renown Park. These projections, spanning five and ten years, have been aligned with the local workforce composition to estimate growth. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific trends to the local workforce mix suggests employment for the suburb of Renown Park will grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, representing a basic weighted projection that does not incorporate local population changes.

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 — 11 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,663 at the 2021 Census → 1,705 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 (SAL41252). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
