Sales Detail
Willunga has an estimated 2,594 residents, up from 2,445 at the 2021 Census — a change of 149 people, or 6.1%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 64.0% of that increase. That puts 122 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 investigations of ABS demographic statistics for the surrounding region, combined with fresh locations confirmed by AreaSearch after the Census, the resident count for the suburb of Willunga is projected to be approximately 2,594 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 149 people (6.1%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a total of 2,445 people. The adjustment is calculated from a resident base of 2,591, determined by AreaSearch through analyzing the most recent June 2025 ERP release from the ABS alongside an extra 44 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population size corresponds to a density of 122 persons per square kilometer, which offers ample personal space and potential capacity for future growth. The 6.1% growth recorded in the suburb of Willunga since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area (5.8%), establishing it as a local growth frontrunner. Growth in the area was chiefly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 64.0% of all demographic increases during the recent timeframe, even though all other components including overseas arrivals and natural increase remained positive. AreaSearch utilizes ABS and Geoscience Australia demographic projections for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, and for any years after 2032, regional and LGA age-group projections published by the SA State Government in 2023 (based on 2021 statistics) are applied, utilizing a weighted aggregation method to translate growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Regarding future demographic trends, expansion is projected to run just under the median of national statistics, with the suburb of Willunga anticipated to add 227 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall rise of 8.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Willunga over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That places the area in the 55th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 12, 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building permit statistics, allocated from regional datasets, indicates that Willunga averages approximately 12 residential building approvals annually, totaling 61 residential projects approved during the prior 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 11 during FY-26 so far. An average of 2.8 new residents was added per year for each completed home during the prior 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), pointing to solid demand that is likely to bolster housing values. Newly approved dwellings carry an average estimated construction value of $646,000, indicating that builders are focusing on premium, high-end housing designs.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $232,000 have been logged during the current financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality. When compared to Greater Adelaide, Willunga displays a matching volume of construction activity on a per-capita basis, maintaining a balanced market in line with nearby districts. Additionally, residential construction has consisted entirely of detached houses, which sustains the low-density profile of the neighborhood and caters to buyers looking for larger lots. With approximately 224 people per building approval, the area is characterized by its low-density layout. Demographic outlooks suggest that Willunga will add 224 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Based on current building trends, the incoming supply of housing is expected to easily satisfy this demand, offering favorable circumstances for purchasers and potentially driving expansion beyond current projections.

1,433 residents of Willunga are employed, from a labour force of 1,465. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 67.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,084, about 80% 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
The local workforce is highly qualified, with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.2%, and an estimated employment expansion of 5.5% over the prior year, according to AreaSearch regional data compilations. As of March 2026, there are 1,433 employed locals, while the jobless rate sits 1.6% lower than the Greater Adelaide rate of 3.8%. The labor force participation rate is overall matching the Greater Adelaide benchmark of 66.6%. Census data indicates that a moderate 17.7% of working locals operated from home, though the influence of COVID-19 lockdowns should be kept in mind.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction. The community displays a distinct occupational concentration in education & training, holding a share of employment that is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is less represented at 15.2% compared to the regional figure of 17.7%. The local area appears to provide fewer employment positions within its boundaries, as shown by comparing the count of local workers against the resident labor force during the Census. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from regional levels, the recent 12-month timeframe saw a 5.5% rise in employment and a 5.4% increase in the total labor force, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. This is in contrast to Greater Adelaide, where employment expanded by 4.2%, the labor force grew by 4.0%, and unemployment dropped by 0.2 percentage points. The national employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context regarding future workforce demands in the area. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local occupational structure indicates that employment in the area should rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, noting that this is a simple weighted extrapolation and does not incorporate 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 — 44 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,445 at the 2021 Census → 2,594 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.
