Suburb profile

Tanunda is a major regional centre in South Australia, in Barossa Council, where heritage streetscapes sit alongside mixed commercial and residential development. Notable landmarks include Tanunda Hotel, Tabor Lutheran Church and Soldiers Memorial Hall.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Local school ICSEA scores sit well above the peer median, well above typical levels for major regional centres. The suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings, and reported crime is lower than in most comparable places, with reported crime 50% below the peer median. The main trade-offs are higher rents and more mapped flood cover, with median rents 33% above the peer median.

Overall, Tanunda suits people prioritising heritage character and daily services over 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 (~6,250), extrapolated at +0.7% 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.

Socio-economic

IRSAD decile (2021)
6/10
IRSD decile (2021)
6/10

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.
