Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Salisbury (SA) has an estimated population of around 9,237, calculated by AreaSearch using regional ABS updates alongside newly validated post-Census addresses. Compared to the 8,841 residents recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 396 people (4.5%). The figure draws on an ERP baseline of 9,168 from the June 2025 ABS release together with 118 new addresses confirmed since the Census. Salisbury's population density stands at 2,016 persons per square kilometer, tracking higher than the national average across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Outpacing the broader SA3 area (4.1%), the suburb of Salisbury (SA) emerged as a regional growth leader with its 4.5% increase post-2021 Census. In recent times, population expansion was predominantly fueled by overseas migration, accounting for approximately 90.0% of total gains. Projections for the suburb of Salisbury (SA) utilize the ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 series released in 2024 (2022 base year). Where SA2 coverage is absent or extends beyond 2032, models incorporate the SA State Government's 2023 age-specific Regional/LGA projections (based on 2021 data), applying a weighted aggregation method to convert LGA figures to the SA2 scale. Long-term demographic modelling indicates future expansion will sit slightly below the Australian median, with the suburb of Salisbury (SA) forecast to add 422 persons by 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates, reflecting an overall 3.8% increase over the 16-year timeline.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
212 new dwellings have been approved in Salisbury (SA) over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 63 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 62% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 143, running ahead of 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
According to ABS residential building approval figures compiled by AreaSearch, Salisbury averages around 42 approved dwellings annually. Across the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), 212 homes received planning consent, alongside 143 recorded during FY-25 to date. An average of only 0.8 incoming residents per approved home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) indicates construction is easily satisfying local demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and headroom for above-trend population gains. Anticipated building costs average $305,000 per dwelling—tracking below typical regional benchmarks and highlighting the area's budget-friendly new housing supply.
Meanwhile, non-residential building activity remains modest, with $8.3 million in commercial approvals logged so far this financial year. Per-capita residential construction in Salisbury is 69.0% higher than the Greater Adelaide benchmark, ensuring healthy purchasing options. Recent dwelling completions are split between separate houses (62.0%) and medium-to-high density formats (38.0% across townhouses and apartments), delivering varied price points suited to both families and entry-level buyers seeking compact residences. The presence of roughly 93 people per approved dwelling underscores the low-density nature of the local market. Forecasts indicate Salisbury will welcome 353 additional inhabitants by 2041, measured against the latest quarterly figure from AreaSearch. Sustained construction at current paces will allow new residential stock to comfortably absorb incoming residents, reinforcing supportive buyer dynamics and accommodating potential growth beyond baseline demographic projections.

3,542 residents of Salisbury (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 3,978. Unemployment sits at 11.0%, with participation at 52.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Salisbury features a diverse labor force that includes both white collar and blue collar roles, with manufacturing and industry playing major parts, an unemployment level of 11.0%, and steady job conditions throughout the previous year, according to AreaSearch data from statistical areas. By March 2026, 3,542 locals are employed, while the unemployment rate stands at 7.1%, which is higher than Greater Adelaide's 3.8%, suggesting opportunities for growth, and workforce participation remains notably lower at 52.6% compared to Greater Adelaide's 66.4%. Census data indicates that only 4.2% of residents worked remotely, although the effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary employment drivers for the local workforce are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. Manufacturing demonstrates an especially heavy presence, employing 1.8 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for a modest 2.9% of workers, trailing the 7.3% seen across Greater Adelaide. Comparing resident numbers to Census workplace counts confirms the area functions largely as a dormitory suburb with constrained local job generation. Over the recent 12-month period, AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates local jobs grew by 0.4% while the labor pool expanded by 1.2%, lifting the unemployment rate by 0.8 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Adelaide achieved 4.2% job growth and a 4.0% labor pool increase, reducing its jobless rate by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections outlines broader labor trends over five and ten years. Scaled to Salisbury's specific industry profile, local employment is projected to expand by 5.9% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (calculated via simple sectoral weighting for illustrative comparison, excluding localized population modeling), set against broader national projections of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years.

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 — 118 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,841 at the 2021 Census → 9,237 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.
