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.

Rosewater has an estimated 3,689 residents, up from 3,582 at the 2021 Census — a change of 107 people, or 3.0%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. That puts 2,774 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, combined with quarterly address updates verified by AreaSearch since the Census, indicates that the population of the suburb of Rosewater is approximately 3,689 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 107 people (3.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,582 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 3,683, which AreaSearch estimated using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 alongside an additional 71 validated new addresses since the Census. This population level yields a density of 2,773 persons per square kilometer, positioning it in the top quartile of all Australian residential areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
Local population expansion was primarily driven by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 56.00000000000001% of all population growth during recent times, though other contributors, such as interstate migration and natural growth, also registered positive gains. AreaSearch incorporates population projections from Geoscience Australia and the ABS for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. In instances where SA2 areas lack this coverage, or for periods after 2032, regional and LGA projections by age group from the SA State Government (released in 2023 based on 2021 data) are utilized, adjusting them via a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 scales. Looking ahead at demographic trends, the suburb of Rosewater is projected to experience population growth above the national median, expanding by 631 persons to 2041 according to consolidated SA2-level forecasts, representing an overall increase of 16.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
230 new dwellings have been approved in Rosewater over the past five years, an average of 46 a year. That is 12.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 30 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 40% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
Based on AreaSearch research into building approvals from the ABS, distributed from statistical area statistics, the suburb of Rosewater has recorded an average of roughly 46 new residential approvals each year, totaling an estimated 230 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 14 so far in FY-26. With an average of only 0.6 new residents per year arriving for each new home over those past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the supply of new dwellings is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, providing buyers with abundant choices and creating room for population growth beyond current forecasts, with new properties being built at an average value of $363,000—slightly higher than the regional average—indicating a focus on quality builds.
Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $16.8 million have been registered during this financial year, demonstrating moderate commercial construction activity. In comparison to Greater Adelaide, the suburb of Rosewater registers 52.0% more building activity per person, which should offer buyers plenty of choices, even though construction activity has slowed down in recent times. This level is substantially higher than the national benchmark, pointing to strong developer confidence in this location. Recent residential construction is made up of 40.0% standalone houses and 60.0% medium and high-density housing. This emphasis on higher-density options offers more affordable entry points and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. This represents a distinct shift from existing housing patterns, where standalone houses currently make up 77.0% of properties, indicating a reduction in available vacant land and reflecting changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability constraints. The area registers approximately 918 people per residential approval, pointing to a well-established property market. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Rosewater will add 625 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. At the current pace of development, the supply of new homes should easily satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating growth that exceeds current population forecasts.

1,965 residents of Rosewater are employed, from a labour force of 2,082. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, with participation at 66.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,827, about 77% 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 Rosewater has a skilled workforce with a strong presence in essential services sectors, an unemployment rate of 5.6%, and an estimated job growth rate of 6.7% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,965 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.8% higher than the Greater Adelaide rate of 3.8%, while participation in the labor force matches the Greater Adelaide average of 66.6%. Census figures indicate that a low 7.0% of workers operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The suburb of Rosewater displays a strong specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, with its share of employment reaching 1.5 times the regional proportion. On the other hand, the professional & technical sector employs only 4.3% of local workers, which is below the Greater Adelaide average of 7.3%. This mostly residential community seems to present limited local job opportunities, as shown by the comparison of Census working population to resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, aggregated from broader statistical regions, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 6.7% alongside a labor force expansion of 3.9%, which caused unemployment to drop by 2.5 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Adelaide recorded employment growth of 4.2%, a labor force expansion of 4.0%, and a decline in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context regarding future demand in the suburb of Rosewater. These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce profile to estimate potential growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents should grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local population projections).

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 — 71 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,582 at the 2021 Census → 3,689 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 (SAL41276). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
