Suburb profile

Sevenhill is a major regional centre in South Australia, in Clare and Gilbert Valleys Council.

Socio-economic advantage is among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked major regional centres, and green cover is an exceptional strength, and university qualifications are more common than in comparable places, with university qualifications 75% above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. The clearer weaknesses are thinner park access and thinner local amenities, with park access 100% below the peer median.

Overall, the suburb suits people prioritising socio-economic advantage and university qualifications over open space.

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 +0.5% 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.
