Suburb profile

Belair is an inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Mitcham Council, where heritage streetscapes sit alongside mixed commercial and residential development. It is set against Mount Lofty Ranges. Notable landmarks include Church Hall, Belair Uniting Church and Belair Railway Station & Signal Box.

Public transport coverage is exceptionally strong, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs. Working from home is a strong feature of the suburb, with working from home 44% above the peer median, and reported crime is lower than in most comparable places. Reported offences have fallen 36% year on year, and socio-economic advantage sits well above the peer median. The main trade-offs are thinner dining and café options and weaker population growth, with dining and cafés 100% below the peer median.

Overall, Belair suits people prioritising public transport and lower crime over population growth.

Methodology

Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~4,650), extrapolated at +0.3% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
10/10
IRSD decile (2021)
10/10

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.
