This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS population figures with post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Thebarton is estimated to have a population of roughly 1,606 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 164 people (11.4%) compared to the 1,442 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement is determined from an estimated resident base of 1,601 identified via the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 17 newly validated addresses identified after the Census date. Consequently, population density stands at 1,338 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality above typical national levels assessed by AreaSearch.
Outperforming both South Australia (7.7%) and the broader SA3 territory, the suburb of Thebarton expanded by 11.4% since the 2021 census to emerge as a standout growth district. Inbound overseas migration was the central demographic driver, generating around 89.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Thebarton utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 models anchored to a 2022 baseline, supplemented for unrepresented territories or post-2032 horizons by 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort datasets (derived from 2021 numbers) calibrated via weighted LGA-to-SA2 growth distributions. Looking ahead, future population dynamics point to above-median expansion relative to nationwide statistical districts. Aggregated SA2 forecasts project the suburb of Thebarton will expand by 231 persons through to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 14.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
112 new dwellings have been approved in Thebarton over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That is 16.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 61% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 9, well below 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 building approvals tracked by AreaSearch show that approximately 22 new residential dwellings receive approval annually in Thebarton, totaling around 112 homes across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 9 approved during FY-25 to date. Construction has averaged only 1 new residents per year per dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating that dwelling production matches or exceeds local demand, expanding market choice and creating capacity for above-trend expansion. The average construction cost for these new builds is $383,000. Furthermore, $44.7 million in non-residential commercial approvals has been registered during this financial year, underscoring solid business confidence.
On a per capita basis, residential approvals in Thebarton run 149.0% higher than in Greater Adelaide, giving purchasers broader options despite a recent moderation in building volume. Construction levels also outpace nationwide metrics by a wide margin, highlighting considerable builder appetite. Approved dwellings comprise 61.0% standalone houses and 39.0% medium-to-high density attached units, introducing diverse price segments ranging from traditional detached options to compact living formats. A ratio of roughly 151 people per approval characterizes Thebarton as a growing urban market. Demographic projections indicate an influx of 226 residents into Thebarton through to 2041, referenced from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Under prevailing construction trajectories, incoming residential supply appears well placed to absorb projected demand, fostering favorable purchasing conditions and creating room for growth above current expectations.

1,028 residents of Thebarton are employed, from a labour force of 1,054. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 75.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,164, about 197% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
A highly qualified labor force underpins Thebarton, marked by significant presence across essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.5%, and an annual employment growth rate of 7.6% per AreaSearch aggregated figures. There are 1,028 working residents as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 1.4% below the Greater Adelaide benchmark of 3.8%. Labor force participation is notably elevated at 75.2%, exceeding the 66.4% recorded across Greater Adelaide. Census statistics indicated that 12.9% of workers operated from home, though period-specific Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind. Key employment sectors among residents include health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical services.
Arts & recreation shows exceptional local concentration, with a workforce share 2.6 times the broader metropolitan standard. In contrast, construction engages 5.8% of workers, trailing the 8.7% regional baseline. With 2.6 workers for every resident as of the Census, Thebarton serves as a prominent employment destination, supporting more jobs than resident workers and drawing commuters from surrounding districts. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM statistical data show that over the 12-month period, local employment expanded by 7.6% while the labor pool grew by 6.9%, driving down unemployment by 0.8 percentage points. For comparison, Greater Adelaide recorded employment growth of 4.2% and labor force growth of 4.0%, corresponding to a 0.2 percentage point contraction in joblessness. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide perspective on potential workforce demand trends. While aggregate nationwide employment is projected to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector-specific rates vary. Mapping these trends across the local industry profile suggests employment in Thebarton could grow by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years (note that this extrapolation uses simple weighting for illustration and excludes local demographic adjustments).

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 — 17 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,442 at the 2021 Census → 1,606 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.
