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
West Hindmarsh has an estimated 1,599 residents, up from 1,560 at the 2021 Census — a change of 39 people, or 2.5%. That puts 2,665 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, combined with address records confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, indicates that West Hindmarsh has an estimated residency of 1,599 people as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 39 individuals (2.5%) compared to the 2021 Census count of 1,560. The estimate is derived from the resident population of 1,598 calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 8 additional new addresses verified after the Census. This population level results in a density of 2,665 residents per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quarter of Australian regions evaluated by AreaSearch.
The primary driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 91.0% of the overall gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline. For locations missing these figures, or for periods past 2032, regional and LGA projections by age bracket from the SA State Government (released in 2023 using 2021 baseline data) are integrated using weighted calculations to aggregate LGA projections to SA2 levels. Based on these demographic forecasts, the community is anticipated to grow at a pace exceeding the national median, adding 334 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, which represents a 20.8% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
36 new dwellings have been approved in West Hindmarsh over the past five years, an average of 7 a year. That is 4.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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
According to building approval data from the ABS compiled by AreaSearch for local areas, West Hindmarsh has averaged roughly 7 new home approvals annually, with 36 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 5 recorded in FY-26 so far. Because there has been an average of virtually no net inflow of new residents per completed home over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), building activity is keeping pace with or outstripping demand, providing buyers with extra choices and allowing for population growth that may outpace current projections, with new homes showing an average construction value of $404,000, indicating that builders are focusing on higher-quality residences for the upper end of the market.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals worth $202,000 have been registered in the current financial year, pointing to a heavily residential emphasis. Relative to Greater Adelaide, the rate of new home approvals per capita in West Hindmarsh is roughly half, although it sits in the 87th percentile among all national areas analyzed, reflecting an acceleration in building activity lately. Recent building approvals consist of 25.0% separate houses and 75.0% multi-unit dwellings like townhouses or apartments. The preference for higher-density housing options provides lower-cost pathways for buyers and draws downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the existing housing stock (which is 69.0% traditional houses), indicating a decline in available land and addressing changing lifestyles and affordability constraints. With approximately 103 individuals per approved dwelling, West Hindmarsh displays the attributes of a lower-density neighborhood. Demographic projections indicate that West Hindmarsh will add 333 people by 2041 (starting from the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch). Should the current pace of building continue, housing supply may fall short of population gains, which could increase buyer competition and support faster price growth.

976 residents of West Hindmarsh are employed, from a labour force of 1,004. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 72.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,182, about 74% 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
West Hindmarsh features a highly educated labor force, a strong representation of workers in essential services, a low unemployment rate of 2.8%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.5% over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of local statistical data. By March 2026976 residents were employed, and the local jobless rate was 1.0% below the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%. The labor force participation rate is also significantly elevated at 72.9% compared to the Adelaide metropolitan figure of 66.6%. Census data showed that a modest 10.0% of the working population operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical services. Educational services show a notable concentration in the suburb, with employment levels at 1.4 times the wider regional baseline. In contrast, manufacturing has a minor role, employing 4.7% of the workforce compared to 7.0% across the region. The mostly residential character of the neighborhood means local employment opportunities are limited, as shown by the comparison of local workers to resident workers in the Census. Analysis of SALM and ABS data from AreaSearch, which aggregates information from larger statistical areas, indicates that during the year to March 2026, employment levels rose by 5.5% and the labour force grew by 4.3%, leading to a 1.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. This trend differs from Greater Adelaide, where employment increased by 4.2%, the labour force expanded by 4.0%, and unemployment dropped by 0.2 percentage points. For additional context on potential future demand in West Hindmarsh, Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts published in May-25 provide useful insights. These forecasts span five and ten-year periods and have been overlaid onto local employment data to estimate growth trajectories. Over five years, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6%, and over ten years by 13.7%, though growth varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific forecasts are applied to West Hindmarsh's current employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.8% over five years and by 14.1% over ten years. It should be noted that these figures result from a simple weighting extrapolation intended for illustration and do not incorporate localized 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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,560 at the 2021 Census → 1,599 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 (SAL41567). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
