Detail

According to AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS updates alongside newly validated addresses since the Census, the suburb of Salisbury North has an estimated count of around 10,913 people as of Aug 2026.

For SA2-level demographic projections, AreaSearch utilises ABS and Geoscience Australia figures published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year), supplemented post-2032 and across unlisted SA2 zones by 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort forecasts (based on 2021 numbers) via weighted LGA-to-SA2 aggregations. These projected patterns indicate that demographic growth across the suburb of Salisbury North will track marginally below the national median of analysed statistical districts.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Salisbury North

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

99 new dwellings have been approved in Salisbury North over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 22 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 91% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, broadly in line with 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

ABS residential building approvals mapped across statistical geographies indicate that an average of around 19 dwellings gain approval annually in Salisbury North, yielding roughly 99 homes across the past 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 22 approvals have been logged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the ratio of incoming occupants averaged 1.2 new residents per new home each year, demonstrating balanced supply and demand dynamics and market stability, while figures across the past 2 financial years adjusted to -0.6 people per dwelling to indicate further market equilibrium. Construction costs for new residential buildings average $274,000, sitting below regional benchmarks to provide cost-effective options for homebuilders.

Additionally, commercial development activity recorded $242.5 million in approvals during the ongoing financial year, reflecting substantial local capital investment. New home construction approvals per capita in Salisbury North track at roughly half the Greater Adelaide rate and sit at the 36th percentile nationally, constraining new buyer supply and reinforcing demand for established stock. This below-average development pace underscores local market maturity as well as potential zoning constraints. Detached houses account for 91.0% of recent residential building permits versus 9.0% for medium and high-density housing, reinforcing established low-density neighborhood qualities for family living. Notably, standalone houses form a higher share of recent pipeline activity than the 73.0% recorded at the Census benchmark, pointing to continued appetite for traditional detached homes despite broader densification trends. The current ratio of around 412 people per approval underlines a fully established residential environment. Demographic forecasts indicate that Salisbury North will add 1,222 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent quarterly AreaSearch benchmark. If current dwelling approval rates continue, local residential construction may face difficulties accommodating this influx, which could intensify competition among homebuyers and bolster upward pressure on property prices.

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 — 77 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,683 at the 2021 Census → 10,913 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 Aug 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 (SAL41292). 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 Salisbury North 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 Salisbury North 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 Salisbury North 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
