Sales Detail
Semaphore has an estimated 2,814 residents, up from 2,749 at the 2021 Census — a change of 65 people, or 2.4%. That puts 2,655 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census Semaphore's population is estimated at around 2,814 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 65 people (2.4%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,749 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,810, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 12 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,654 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 69.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including interstate migration and natural growth were positive factors. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Moving forward with demographic trends, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is expected, with the area expected to increase by 221 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting reflecting an increase of 7.7% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
28 new dwellings have been approved in Semaphore over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Semaphore has recorded around 5 residential properties granted approval annually, with an estimated 28 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 11 so far in FY-26. At an average of just 0.8 new residents per year arriving per new home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), new supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, offering ample buyer choice and creating capacity for population growth beyond current forecasts, while new dwellings are developed at an average value of $419,000, revealing that developers are targeting the premium market segment with higher-end properties.
There have also been $894,000 in commercial approvals this financial year, demonstrating the area's residential nature. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Semaphore shows substantially reduced construction (76.0% below regional average per person). This constrained new construction usually reinforces demand and pricing for existing properties. This activity is also below average nationally, reflecting the area's maturity and pointing to possible planning constraints. New development consists of 43.0% detached dwellings and 57.0% attached dwellings. This skew toward compact living offers affordable entry pathways and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time purchasers. This marks a significant departure from existing housing patterns (currently 65.0% houses), suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. At around 1124 people per approval, Semaphore shows a mature, established area. Future projections show Semaphore adding 217 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Should current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.

1,708 residents of Semaphore are employed, from a labour force of 1,754. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 69.5%. 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 2,147, about 76% 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
Semaphore has a well-educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of just 2.6%, and 6.3% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,708 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.2% below Greater Adelaide's rate of 3.8%, and workforce participation is fairly standard (69.5% compared to Greater Adelaide's 66.6%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 14.4% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The dominant employment sectors among residents include health care & social assistance, education & training, and public administration & safety. The area has particular employment specialization in public administration & safety, with an employment share of 1.3 times the regional level. On the other hand, construction is under-represented, with only 6.7% of Semaphore's workforce compared to 8.7% in Greater Adelaide. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 6.3% while labour force increased by 4.8%, resulting in unemployment fall by 1.3 percentage points. This compares to Greater Adelaide, where employment grew by 4.2%, labour force expanded by 4.0%, and unemployment fell 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Semaphore. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Semaphore's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.8% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,749 at the 2021 Census → 2,814 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 (SAL41329). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
