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 Australian Bureau of Statistics demographic releases with newly validated addresses post-Census, the suburb of Williamstown (SA) reaches an estimated population of approximately 3,109 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2,981 individuals counted during the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 128 people (4.3%). Such figures build upon an Estimated Resident Population of 3,101 determined by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 15 validated new addresses added since Census night. The resulting population density stands at 43 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space.
Over the preceding ten years, the suburb of Williamstown (SA) maintained steady expansion, recording a compound annual growth rate of 0.8% that exceeded the broader SA4 region. Inward interstate movement served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 40.0% of recent population increases, although natural increase and overseas migration also contributed positively. Projections utilize the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset keyed to a 2022 baseline for each SA2 district. Where coverage gaps exist or for horizons extending beyond 2032, models incorporate the 2023 South Australian Government Regional/LGA age-specific forecasts (grounded in 2021 numbers), applying weighted aggregation from local government areas to the SA2 level. Driven by these demographic trajectories, the suburb of Williamstown (SA) is modeled to outpace median non-metropolitan growth rates nationally, adding 390 persons through to 2041 across aggregated SA2-level modeling, representing an overall expansion of 12.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
46 new dwellings have been approved in Williamstown (SA) over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 2.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 8, broadly in line with 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
An evaluation of statistical area building permit data by AreaSearch reveals that Williamstown averages roughly 9 residential approvals annually, accumulating approximately 46 dwellings across the previous 5 financial years, with 8 approvals recorded to date in FY-25. Demonstrating solid underlying demand that reinforces local property values, the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 through FY-25) experienced an average influx of 2.5 new residents per dwelling, while average building value per home reached $473,000, underscoring homebuilder emphasis on higher-end detached builds. Furthermore, commercial building approvals of $496,000 during this financial year reflect the predominantly residential character of the locality.
Per capita building activity in Williamstown runs at nearly half the rate observed across Rest of SA and sits in the 47th percentile nationwide, constraining available inventory and reinforcing demand across the established property market. This below-national-average pipeline highlights the established footprint of the neighborhood and potential zoning restrictions. In addition, recent residential approvals have consisted exclusively of detached houses, maintaining low-density living and appealing directly to households seeking spacious environs. With roughly 312 people per approval, the locality exhibits a distinctly low-density profile. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Williamstown is anticipated to expand by 382 residents by 2041. Should current construction rates persist, new housing supply could fall short of demographic growth, creating heightened competition among purchasers and applying upward pressure on home values.

1,715 residents of Williamstown (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,748. Unemployment sits at 1.9%, with participation at 68.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,548, about 82% 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
Williamstown sustains an even distribution between professional and trades-based occupations alongside significant essential services representation, registering an unemployment rate of merely 1.9% and an estimated annual employment expansion of 3.5%, according to AreaSearch aggregated data. By March 2026, employed residents reached 1,715, while the local jobless rate sat 3.6% lower than Regional SA's 5.5%, supported by an exceptional labour force participation rate of 68.7% compared with 58.3% regionally. Census records show a modest 10.0% of local workers operated from home, though temporary Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind. Resident employment is concentrated primarily in health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and construction.
Building and construction activity is notably strong, employing residents at 1.6 times the Regional SA rate. By comparison, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 4.7% of local workers versus 14.5% across the broader region. Discrepancies between the resident workforce and the local Census working population indicate that local job openings remain constrained. AreaSearch assessment of ABS and SALM statistical series shows that throughout the 12 months to March 2026, Williamstown experienced a 3.5% gain in total employment alongside a 3.1% rise in the labour pool, reducing local unemployment by 0.4 percentage points. Across Regional SA, employment rose 1.2% and the labour force grew 2.6%, causing joblessness to climb by 1.4 percentage points. Forward-looking national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide an outlook on future local demand. Over five-year and ten-year horizons, national jobs are forecast to expand by 6.6% and 13.7% respectively, though sectoral performance varies widely. Applying these industry growth rates to the local occupational structure indicates that Williamstown employment could lift by 5.7% across five years and 12.4% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model without 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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,981 at the 2021 Census → 3,109 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 (SAL41602). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
