Suburb profile

Crystal Brook is an industrial and port town in South Australia, in Port Pirie Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes. It is set against the Flinders Ranges and the Southern Flinders Ranges.

Open-space access is exceptionally strong, placing it among the highest-ranked industrial and port towns. University qualifications are more common than in comparable places, with university qualifications 50% above the peer median, and population has been growing faster than in comparable places. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. Trade-offs centre on household incomes and limited school access, with household incomes 21% below the peer median.

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)
3/10
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.
