Kingswood is an inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Mitcham Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes alongside mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Vogue Theatre, St Josephs Convent and Torrens Arms Hotel.
Public transport is a very strong feature of the suburb, with public transport 52% above the peer median. Local school ICSEA scores sit well above the peer median, well above typical levels for inner metropolitan suburbs. Working from home is more common than in comparable places, with working from home 26% above the peer median. Trade-offs centre on thinner park access, weaker employment and limited amenity for the price, with park access 100% below the peer median.
Kingswood is a better fit for people who value school quality and public transport more than open space.

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.
