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.

Sales Detail
Unley has an estimated 4,630 residents, up from 3,997 at the 2021 Census — a change of 633 people, or 15.8%. Growth has averaged 2.4% a year over five years, faster than 85% of areas nationally. 132 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 3,087 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining broader regional ABS demographic releases with newly validated addresses post-Census, the suburb of Unley reaches an estimated population of around 4,630 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 633 people (15.8%) compared to the 3,997 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth draws from an Estimated Resident Population figure of 4,629 established through the ABS release of June 2025 alongside 132 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, population density stands at 3,086 persons per square kilometer, positioning the suburb of Unley within the top quarter of territories benchmarked across Australia by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both the wider state and the SA3 area (5.4%), the suburb of Unley saw its 15.8% gain establish it as a regional growth standout. Inbound international migration served as the primary demographic catalyst, generating virtually all recent population gains. Demographic forecasting incorporates the 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia release using 2022 baseline figures across SA2 units. For unrepresented areas or timeframes extending beyond 2032, population modeling utilizes 2023 SA State Government LGA projections based on 2021 numbers, translated to SA2 zones through weighted distribution methods. In terms of long-term expansion, the suburb of Unley is projected to experience growth tracking just underneath national median rates, adding 397 persons to 2041 via aggregated SA2 metrics, corresponding to an overall rise of 8.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
55 new dwellings have been approved in Unley over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That places the area in the 83rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 35% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 70, 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
ABS residential approval metrics compiled by AreaSearch across statistical divisions indicate that Unley has averaged approximately 11 dwellings granted planning permission annually, amounting to an estimated 55 homes across the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 70 approvals have been documented. Because 4.1 people annually have entered the market for every new dwelling constructed across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, residential construction remains well short of local demand, creating tight inventory conditions that fuel upward price movement. Furthermore, an average construction value of $751,000 indicates that builders are concentrating on upscale residential offerings, while $5.2 million in commercial building authorisations logged during the current financial year underlines the district's predominantly residential character.
Per capita building approvals in Unley exceeded the regional baseline by 43.0% over the 5 year period relative to Greater Adelaide, sustaining buyer alternatives while underpinning prevailing real estate values. Recent building activity reveals a split of 35.0% detached dwellings alongside 65.0% attached dwellings. This orientation toward higher-density builds provides relatively accessible price points for first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also represents a substantial departure from the established residential base of 52.0% houses, responding to both shifting lifestyle habits and diminishing land availability. With around 81 people per approval, the area continues along an active development trajectory. Based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release, Unley is projected to add 396 residents through to 2041. While ongoing building volumes are tracking alongside projected population gains, purchasers could experience greater competition as the local population expands.

2,947 residents of Unley are employed, from a labour force of 2,995. Unemployment sits at 1.6%, with participation at 73.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.4% 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 5,746, about 124% 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 talent pool underpins the local economy in Unley, distinguished by prominent professional services participation, a minimal unemployment rate of 1.6%, and an estimated 8.1% gain in jobs over the past year per AreaSearch aggregations. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,947, with local joblessness tracking 2.2% under the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide. Labor market engagement remains exceptionally strong, registering 73.3% against the regional benchmark of 66.4%. At the time of the Census, 16.0% of workers operated from home, a figure influenced in part by pandemic-related restrictions.
Leading industries engaging local residents include health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training. The district demonstrates notable occupational concentration in professional & technical fields, where the local representation reaches 2.0 times regional norms. Conversely, manufacturing activity is subdued, accounting for 3.7% of local jobs compared with 7.0% across the region. Recording 1.1 workers for every resident at the Census, the locality serves as a net employment destination that draws personnel from neighboring communities. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures aggregated across broader regions show that the 12-month period experienced an 8.1% rise in employment alongside an 8.0% expansion in the workforce, keeping the jobless rate largely unchanged. Across Greater Adelaide, employment increased by 4.2%, the labor pool rose by 4.0%, and unemployment dipped by 0.2 percentage points. Future labor dynamics can be evaluated against Jobs and Skills Australia projections from Mar-26. Projected nationally at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, employment growth varies considerably across industries. Applying these sectoral trajectories to the existing local workforce profile yields estimated employment gains of 7.4% over five years and 15.0% over ten years for Unley (representing a simple weighted extrapolation for illustration without incorporating local demographic forecasts).

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 — 132 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,997 at the 2021 Census → 4,630 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.
