Suburb profile

Norwood is a suburb of Adelaide, in Norwood Payneham and St Peters Council, where heritage streetscapes sit alongside mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Norwood Hotel, Britannia Hotel and Norwood Institute.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. University qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 30% above the peer median, and the suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings, placing it among the highest-ranked comparable places. Crime remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 16% year on year. The clearer weaknesses are higher housing costs and higher recorded crash rates relative to resident population, with median house prices 20% above the peer median.

Norwood is a better fit for people who value university qualifications and heritage character more than lower housing costs.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

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 (~7,650), extrapolated at +1.3% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

IRSD decile (2021)

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.
