Suburb profile

Moonta is a major regional centre in South Australia, in Copper Coast Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. The Yorke Peninsula is part of the surrounding geography. Notable landmarks include All Saints Anglican Church and Moonta Tourist Office (former Moonta Railway Station).

Everyday destinations are relatively walkable, well above typical levels for major regional centres. Dining and café access is an exceptional strength. Open-space access is better than in most comparable places. Population growth is an exceptional strength. The main trade-offs are lower school ICSEA scores and lower socio-economic advantage.

Moonta is a better fit for people who value walkability and open space more than school quality.

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 (~800), extrapolated at +2.2% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.
