Suburb profile

Rowland Flat is a semi-rural locality near Adelaide, in Barossa Council, characterised by heritage listings. Notable landmarks include Holy Trinity Lutheran Church and Rowland Flat War Memorial Community Centre.

Dining and cafés are a relative strength, placing it among the highest-ranked semi-rural and lifestyle localities. The suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings, and socio-economic advantage sits well above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. The clearer weaknesses are higher rents and higher recorded crash rates relative to resident population, with median rents 12% above the peer median.

Rowland Flat is a better fit for people who value dining and heritage character more than lower rents.

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 (~150), extrapolated at +1.3% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

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.

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.
