Rostrevor has an estimated 9,212 residents, up from 8,452 at the 2021 Census — a change of 760 people, or 9.0%. Growth has averaged 1.6% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 96.0% of that increase. That puts 2,011 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
Following an investigation of ABS population updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Rostrevor has an estimated population of 9,212 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 760 residents (9.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 8,452 individuals. The change is calculated from the resident population of 9,171, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS demographic estimates from June 2025 alongside an additional 88 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. This population count yields a density of 2,011 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the average across national areas monitored by AreaSearch.
The 9.0% expansion in the suburb of Rostrevor since the 2021 census was greater than the state figure (7.5%) and the SA3 region, positioning the locality as a leader in regional growth. The expansion was largely fueled by overseas arrivals, who accounted for approximately 96.0% of the overall population increases in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch. For SA2 territories lacking this data, and for all years after 2032, population estimates by age group from the SA State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 statistics are applied, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 divisions. Based on expected demographic trends, the suburb of Rostrevor is projected to experience population expansion above the median of areas monitored by AreaSearch, with forecasts predicting a rise of 1,872 residents to 2041 based on compiled SA2 statistics, which represents a total increase of 19.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
313 new dwellings have been approved in Rostrevor over the past five years, an average of 62 a year. That places the area in the 77th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 62 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 77% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

In the current FY-26 period, 56 approvals have been documented. The historical ratio of 2.2 new occupants added annually for each finished home between FY-21 and FY-25 points to a healthy level of demand that is likely to sustain local property values. The average anticipated construction value for new dwellings is $493,000, indicating that development activity is focused on high-end homes for the premium market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $6.4 million have been registered during this financial year, which underscores the predominantly residential profile of the locality.

4,882 residents of Rostrevor are employed, from a labour force of 5,005. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 65.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,454, 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 Rostrevor has a highly qualified workforce, a strong concentration of workers in key service fields, an unemployment rate of only 2.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.1% over the past year, according to AreaSearch regional data. In March 2026, there were 4,882 employed inhabitants, and the local unemployment rate sat 1.4% below the 3.8% recorded for Greater Adelaide, while workforce participation aligned closely with the metropolitan average of 66.6%. Census records indicate that a minor 12.4% of working residents performed their jobs from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors of employment for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade. The area displays a distinct concentration of workers in education & training, with a representation 1.3 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is less prominent, employing 16.4% of the local workforce compared to 17.7% in Greater Adelaide. The predominantly residential layout of the area means local employment opportunities are limited, as shown by the ratio of local jobs to working residents. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from regional datasets, during the 12 months ending March 2026, employment grew by 5.1% and the labor force grew by 4.9%, leading to a decrease in unemployment of 0.2 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Adelaide recorded a 4.2% rise in employment, a 4.0% increase in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. National employment forecasts published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for potential future labor demand in the suburb of Rostrevor. These projections, covering five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary by industry. Projecting these industry trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents could expand by 6.7% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, noting that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and excludes localized 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 — 88 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,452 at the 2021 Census → 9,212 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.
