Maylands is an inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Norwood Payneham and St Peters Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes. Notable landmarks include Maylands Hotel and Maylands Church of Christ Group.
Socio-economic advantage sits well above the peer median, well above typical levels for inner metropolitan suburbs, and university qualifications are more common than in comparable places, with university qualifications 25% above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. The main trade-offs are limited amenity for the price, higher recorded crash rates relative to resident population and weaker population growth, with recorded road crashes 37% above the peer median.
Maylands is a better fit for people who value socio-economic advantage and university qualifications more than amenity for the price.

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.
