Kensington Gardens is an inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Burnside Council, where heritage streetscapes sit alongside mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Tram Switching Station, Kensington Gardens Reserve and Kensington Gardens Uniting Church.

Green cover is an exceptional strength, and reported crime is lower than in most comparable places, with reported crime 49% below the peer median, and socio-economic advantage sits well above the peer median. Trade-offs centre on higher housing costs and thinner park access, with median house prices 65% above 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.
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.
