Suburb profile

Pine Point is a major regional centre in South Australia, in Yorke Peninsula Council. It is close to Point Shack Site and the Yorke Peninsula.

Socio-economic advantage is a very strong feature of the suburb, and working from home is a very strong feature of the suburb, with working from home 65% above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. The main trade-offs are fewer university qualifications and thinner heritage listings, with university qualifications 100% below the peer median.

Pine Point is a better fit for people who value socio-economic advantage more than university qualifications.

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 (~100), extrapolated at +0.6% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

This is a platform lift where only the platform moves on a screw drive within its own walled structure – it is not a cabin lift. 2.

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.
