Suburb profile

Black Point is a semi-rural locality near Adelaide, in Yorke Peninsula Council. It is close to Point Shack Site and the Yorke Peninsula.

Local amenities is an exceptional strength, well above typical levels for semi-rural and lifestyle localities. Recorded road crashes are a relative strength, with recorded road crashes 100% below the peer median, and working from home is an exceptional strength. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. The clearer weaknesses are weaker employment and weaker population growth, with employment 30% below the peer median.

Black Point is a better fit for people who value local amenities more than employment.

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 (~50), extrapolated at +0.6% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
