Sales Detail
Wayville has an estimated 1,961 residents, up from 1,922 at the 2021 Census — a change of 39 people, or 2.0%. That puts 1,961 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 evaluations of official demographic records for the wider region, alongside recent physical addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count of the suburb of Wayville is calculated to be approximately 1,961 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 39 people (2.0%) compared to the 1,922 people documented in the 2021 Census. The updated figure is derived from the resident population of 1,961, determined by AreaSearch through analysing the June 2025 release of official ERP statistics and incorporating 7 validated new addresses registered since the Census.
This population level translates to a density of 1,961 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical ratio observed across locations nationwide assessed by AreaSearch. In recent times, population expansion was driven almost entirely by overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 99.0% of the total net growth. Projections sourced from official environmental and scientific bodies released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year are utilized by AreaSearch for statistical divisions. Where such data is unavailable, or for periods extending past 2032, state-level age-cohort projections from 2023 based on 2021 records are integrated by weighting and aggregating regional growth figures to local levels. Factoring in these expected demographic transitions, the suburb of Wayville is anticipated to experience population growth slightly below the national midpoint. Specifically, local counts are projected to rise by 194 persons by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 9.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Analysis of building consent statistics indicates that the suburb of Wayville typically averages about 1 residential construction approval annually, totaling 9 homes authorized over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with 7 approved during FY-26 so far. Over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, new dwellings averaged 1.7 additional occupants each, pointing to a balanced property market with steady supply and demand. However, this ratio shifted to 5 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, indicating rising demand relative to available supply. The average projected cost of new residential structures stands at $576,000, pointing to developer activity concentrated on high-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial building consents reached $804,000 during this financial year, confirming that property development remains heavily oriented toward housing. Building volume in the suburb of Wayville is substantially quieter than the wider metropolitan region, tracking 71.0% below the per-capita average for Greater Adelaide. This restricted pipeline generally aids in maintaining demand and supporting values for pre-existing properties. This construction rate also falls below the national benchmark, reflecting a fully developed locality that may be constrained by zoning laws. Approved residential projects consist of 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% attached dwellings, displaying a growing variety of semi-detached options that offer choices from large family residences to compact units. This construction pattern is more heavily oriented toward freestanding houses than the historical mix recorded at the Census (39.0%), highlighting persistent demand for detached family residences despite urbanization pressures. Recording approximately 1958 people per approved dwelling, the local market is highly established. Long-term forecasts suggest the suburb of Wayville will add 194 residents by 2041, based on recent quarterly modeling. Should building rates persist at current levels, the supply of housing may fall short of population gains, which could intensify competition among home buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

1,198 residents of Wayville are employed, from a labour force of 1,233. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 71.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,998, about 153% 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
The suburb of Wayville features a highly qualified labor force with a strong presence of professionals, an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, and a 3.7% expansion in local employment over the past year. As of March 2026, working residents numbered 1,198, while the local jobless rate sat 1.0% below the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%. Workforce participation is exceptionally high at 71.9%, compared to 66.6% across Greater Adelaide. According to Census records, a modest 17.0% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this period was influenced by pandemic-related restrictions.
The local workforce is largely engaged in healthcare and social assistance, professional and technical services, and education and training. The professional and technical services sector is especially prominent, employing residents at 2.0 times the regional rate. Conversely, industrial manufacturing accounts for just 3.1% of local jobs compared to 7.0% across the wider region. Reflecting its role as a commercial node, the area recorded 1.7 workers for every local resident at the Census, indicating that it draws commuters from neighboring areas. Based on analysis of government employment databases, the local workforce grew by 3.7% over a 12-month period, while the overall labor force expanded by 3.9%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This differed from Greater Adelaide, which recorded a 4.2% rise in jobs, a 4.0% increase in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point drop in unemployment. National projections from May-25 suggest that while overall employment across the country is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of change will vary across different sectors. Applying these national industry trends to the local occupation profile suggests employment in the suburb of Wayville could grow by 7.3% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, assuming local trends follow national patterns.

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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,922 at the 2021 Census → 1,961 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 (SAL41555). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
