The report Local Area (SA2 and LGA) Population projections for South Australia, 2016 to 2036 (PDF, 6.3 MB) provides a summary of the Local Area Population Projections for SA to 2036. These projections follow on from, and are concordant with, the state and regional population projections for 2016 to 2041 released in June 2019. Local area projections (SA2 and LGA) are based on the medium series population projection for each region.
In South Australia there are 172 SA2s and these projections have been constrained to the 11 population projection regions. Population projections for the 68 LGAs were derived from the SA2 results. The time horizon for the SA2 level projections is from 2016 to 2036. This is 5 years less than the state and regional projections due to the greater uncertainty associated with population projections for small geographic areas.
