    Suburb profile

    Ottoway is a middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Port Adelaide Enfield Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. It is close to Port River and the River Expressway.

    Housing is a little more affordable than typical for similar places, with median house prices 10% below the peer median. Population growth is an exceptional strength, placing it among the highest-ranked middle-ring metropolitan suburbs, and mapped flood cover is a very strong feature of the suburb, with mapped flood cover 87% below the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. Trade-offs centre on lower socio-economic advantage and fewer university qualifications, with university qualifications 39% below the peer median.

    Overall, Ottoway suits people prioritising more affordable housing over socio-economic advantage.

    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 (~3,200), extrapolated at +1.1% 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.

    IRSAD decile (2021)

    IRSD decile (2021)
    1/10

    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.
