West Hindmarsh has an estimated 1,625 residents, up from 1,560 at the 2021 Census — a change of 65 people, or 4.2%. That puts 2,708 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's evaluation of broader regional ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census address validations, the resident count for the suburb of West Hindmarsh stands at approximately 1,625 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 65 people (4.2%) compared to the 1,560 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure builds upon an estimated resident population of 1,601 established after reviewing the ABS ERP release from June 2025, combined with 8 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. Consequently, population density sits at 2,708 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the top quartile of locations evaluated across Australia.
Inflow from overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 91.0% of total demographic additions over recent timeframes. Projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia using 2022 baseline figures have been utilized across individual SA2 zones. Where local data is missing or extends beyond 2032, figures incorporate the 2023 SA State Government Regional/LGA age-cohort forecasts grounded in 2021 numbers, adjusted via a weighted aggregation technique from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Looking ahead, demographic modeling indicates growth surpassing the national statistical area median, with aggregated SA2 figures pointing to a gain of 341 persons by 2041 for the suburb of West Hindmarsh, representing a cumulative increase of 19.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
49 new dwellings have been approved in West Hindmarsh over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 6.7 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
AreaSearch's review of ABS residential building approvals apportioned to the local area indicates that around 9 new dwellings have received permits annually in West Hindmarsh, totaling roughly 49 homes over the past 5 financial years. In FY-25 to date, 5 residential approvals have been logged. With virtually no net new residents per year per constructed dwelling recorded over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), building activity is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand, expanding residential choice and facilitating demographic expansion beyond baseline forecasts. New residences show an average expected construction cost of $527,000, pointing toward developer concentration in the higher-end market segment.
Concurrently, $202,000 in commercial development permits have been recorded during this financial year, reflecting subdued commercial activity. Per-capita residential approvals in West Hindmarsh track at roughly three-quarters the level observed throughout Greater Adelaide, placing the suburb around the 57th percentile among nationally tracked locations. Medium-to-high density formats dominate recent approvals, with townhouses and apartments comprising 80.0% against 20.0% for detached houses. This emphasis on compact development creates accessible price points while catering to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers. It also marks a noticeable transition from the established neighborhood structure, where houses make up 69.0% of stock, responding to constrained land availability, shifting lifestyle preferences, and cost considerations. The suburb records roughly 246 people per dwelling approval, indicative of a low-density environment. Over the period running through to 2041, residential growth in West Hindmarsh is projected to reach 317 additional occupants based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Construction activity remains reasonably aligned with anticipated gains, though ongoing demographic expansion may heighten competition among purchasers.

987 residents of West Hindmarsh are employed, from a labour force of 1,014. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 73.0%. 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 1,204, 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 qualified labor force with strong concentrations in essential community services, an unemployment level sitting at only 2.7%, and an estimated 5.9% expansion in jobs over the previous twelve months according to AreaSearch's statistical area data. Employment stood at 987 working residents as of March 2026, while the jobless rate was 1.2% lower than the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide. Labor market engagement is exceptionally strong, reaching 73.0% in contrast to the wider metropolitan benchmark of 66.4%. Remote working was recorded at a modest 10.0% during the Census, though pandemic-related movement restrictions should be taken into account.
Resident employment is primarily centered within health care & social assistance, education & training, along with professional & technical services. Specialization is particularly pronounced in education & training, where local employment concentration is 1.4 times greater than the broader regional standard. In contrast, manufacturing holds a comparatively minor footprint, accounting for 4.7% of jobs locally versus 7.0% across the region. Comparison between Census resident counts and local workplace numbers suggests that the suburb is predominantly residential with limited on-site employment opportunities. An examination of combined ABS and SALM statistical series shows that over a 12-month timeframe, local employment expanded by 5.9% while the total workforce grew by 4.5%, leading to a 1.3 percentage point drop in unemployment. Across Greater Adelaide, employment increased by 4.2% and the labor force rose by 4.0%, producing a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. Looking to broader medium-term trends, national occupational projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context for West Hindmarsh. Across Australia, workforce numbers are projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary widely by industry. Weighting these sector forecasts against the local workforce distribution points to potential employment expansion of 6.8% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (note that this is an illustrative weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific local 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 Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,560 at the 2021 Census → 1,625 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.
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.
