Sales Detail
St Clair (SA) has an estimated 3,514 residents, up from 2,634 at the 2021 Census — a change of 880 people, or 33.4%. Growth has averaged 6.9% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 247 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 87.0% of that increase. That puts 3,738 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
According to investigations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region alongside newly confirmed addresses by AreaSearch following the Census, the resident count of the suburb of St Clair (SA) is projected to be approximately 3,514 by May 2026. This represents an expansion of 880 people (33.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 2,634 individuals. This adjustment is deduced from a resident base of 3,492, calculated by AreaSearch through analyzing the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an extra 247 validated new addresses identified after the Census date.
Such a population size translates to a density of 3,738 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the highest quarter of all Australian locations tracked by AreaSearch. The 33.4% population gain in the suburb of St Clair (SA) since the 2021 census outpaced the state rise of 7.5% and the broader SA3 territory, establishing the locality as a regional leader in expansion. This demographic growth was heavily supported by arrivals from abroad, who accounted for roughly 87.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates demographic projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, or for periods past 2032, regional and LGA projections categorized by age from the SA State Government, published in 2023 using 2021 data, are utilized; these are adjusted by weighting and aggregating demographic growth from the LGA scale down to the SA2 level. Factoring in these expected shifts, the suburb of St Clair (SA) is set to experience a population rise slightly under the national median, expanding by 424 residents by 2041 according to collective SA2 projections, representing an overall growth of 11.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
371 new dwellings have been approved in St Clair (SA) over the past five years, an average of 74 a year. That places the area in the 93rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 21 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 63 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 25% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 149, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building permit statistics allocated from statistical areas show that St Clair averages approximately 74 approved dwellings annually. This includes an estimated 371 homes authorized during the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 137 approvals registered during the current FY-26. Over the past 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, the area gained an average of 2.7 new residents for each finished dwelling, indicating robust demand that underpins local property values, while newly approved residences show an average construction cost of $320,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $3.5 million this financial year, highlighting the dominant residential focus of the neighborhood.
Relative to Greater Adelaide, construction activity per person in St Clair is 198.0% higher, offering a broader range of options for prospective buyers. This volume is also substantially higher than the national benchmark, demonstrating that developers have high confidence in this location. The breakdown of new residential construction is 25.0% detached dwellings and 75.0% attached dwellings. This high concentration of higher-density housing provides affordable entry options and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. Registering approximately 30 people for every building approval, St Clair exhibits the traits of an evolving residential district. Future demographic projections indicate St Clair is on track to add 402 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the incoming supply of housing is expected to satisfy local demand, maintaining favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting expansion that outpaces these baseline forecasts.

2,590 residents of St Clair (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 2,633. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 86.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 2,521, about 72% 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
St Clair features a highly qualified labor force with a substantial concentration of professionals. The area boasts a low unemployment rate of 1.7% and experienced an estimated employment expansion of 13.0% over the past year, according to AreaSearch data compiled from statistical areas. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,590, while the local unemployment rate sat 2.2% lower than the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%. Labor force participation is exceptionally high, reaching 86.9% compared to the Adelaide metropolitan average of 66.6%. According to Census records, a modest 11.9% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The local workforce is primarily employed in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety. The neighborhood shows a clear economic specialization in public administration & safety, where the employment proportion is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, the construction sector is underrepresented, employing 6.1% of working residents compared to 8.7% across the wider region. Comparing the number of working residents to local jobs recorded in the Census indicates that this mostly residential suburb offers limited employment opportunities within its own boundaries. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, local employment expanded by 13.0% during the 12 months ending March 2026, while the total labor force grew by 11.9%, driving a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.9 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Adelaide recorded a 4.2% rise in employment, a 4.0% increase in the labor force, and a minor 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context for future labor demand in St Clair. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local workforce mix suggests St Clair's employed resident count could rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that does not account for localized population growth 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 — 247 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,634 at the 2021 Census → 3,514 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.
