Semaphore is a coastal middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Port Adelaide Enfield Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes. The Lefevre Peninsula is part of the surrounding geography. Notable landmarks include Semaphore Jetty and Semaphore Hotel.
Local amenities are a relative strength, placing it among the highest-ranked middle-ring metropolitan suburbs. The suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings, and mapped flood cover is a very strong feature of the suburb, with mapped flood cover 88% below the peer median. Crime remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 28% year on year. The clearer weaknesses are higher housing costs and weaker public transport, with median house prices 54% above the peer median.
Overall, the suburb suits people prioritising local amenities and heritage character over lower housing costs.

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 (~2,900), extrapolated at +0.4% 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.
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.
