Beaumont is an inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Burnside Council, characterised by heritage listings alongside mixed commercial and residential development.
Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs. Reported crime is exceptionally low against comparable places. Reported offences have fallen 33% year on year. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. The clearer weaknesses are limited amenity for the price, more mapped flood cover and weaker population growth, with population growth 50% below the peer median.
Overall, the suburb suits people prioritising lower crime and school quality over amenity for the price.

Federal electorate from AEC federal division boundaries (2025 redistribution). Division-level results are official AEC figures from the latest general election, with by-election updates where applicable. The estimated suburb profile blends up to eight nearest ordinary polling booths in the same electorate using inverse-distance weighting from the suburb centroid — an approximation, not official AEC data. Nearest polling places are shown for reference.
ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?
IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.
IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.
A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
