Kensington Park is an inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Burnside Council, where heritage streetscapes sit alongside mixed commercial and residential development.
Everyday destinations are relatively walkable, well above typical levels for inner metropolitan suburbs. Reported crime is lower than in most comparable places. Reported offences have risen 31% year on year, and university qualifications are more common than in comparable places, with university qualifications 26% above the peer median, and recorded road-crash rates are lower than in comparable places, with recorded road crashes 42% below the peer median. The main trade-offs are higher housing costs and weaker employment, with median house prices 78% above the peer median.
Kensington Park is a better fit for people who value lower crime and walkability more than lower housing costs.

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 (~2,850), extrapolated at +0.6% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
