Suburb profile
Port Lincoln is a regional established suburb in Port Lincoln Council, oriented around local life rather than the metro orbit of Adelaide. Working households and growing families are the backbone of local life, with a strong presence of young families throughout. There is a dense cluster of schools and early-learning options nearby.
Green space punches above what many regional towns offer, with parks and playgrounds woven through the suburb. Most routine trips are on foot, while buses cover longer journeys across the metro area. Homes are relatively cheap compared with the wider market, which keeps entry costs lower.
Local crime has been trending higher of late. A busy pipeline of new development is gradually changing the look and feel of the streets.
Local dining and lifestyle amenities push the suburb to a good desirability read, even as community and employment look more ordinary among similar regional towns.

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 (~15,550), extrapolated at +0.6% 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.
