Suburb profile

Carrickalinga is a coastal town in South Australia, in Yankalilla Council. It is close to the Yankalilla Bay and the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Open-space access is exceptionally strong, placing it among the highest-ranked coastal towns. University qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 65% above the peer median, and working from home is a very strong feature of the suburb, with working from home 98% above the peer median, and population growth is another area where the suburb performs particularly well. The clearer weaknesses are thinner local amenities and more mapped flood cover, with local amenities 54% below the peer median.

Carrickalinga is a better fit for people who value open space and university qualifications more than local amenities.

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 (~450), extrapolated at +2.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)
3/10

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.
