Suburb profile

Glenelg is a coastal inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Holdfast Bay Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes alongside denser housing than a typical suburban neighbourhood. It is close to the Holdfast Bay.

Urban convenience is a major strength, with better access to shops and everyday services than in most comparable places. Working from home is a strong feature of the suburb, with working from home 46% above the peer median. Crime remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 19% year on year. The main trade-offs are weaker employment and higher housing costs, with employment 19% below the peer median.

Glenelg is a better fit for people who value city life and daily services 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 (~3,850), extrapolated at +0.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
8/10
IRSD decile (2021)
6/10

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.
