Fullarton is an inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Unley Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes alongside mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Church (former St Joseph's Refuge).
Walkability is a very strong feature of the suburb. Local amenity access is stronger than in most comparable places, with local amenities 71% above the peer median. Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs. Recorded road-crash rates are lower than in comparable places, with recorded road crashes 47% below the peer median. The main trade-offs are higher housing costs and weaker employment, with median house prices 38% above the peer median.
Fullarton is a better fit for people who value school quality and walkability more than lower housing costs.

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.
