Suburb profile

Urrbrae is an inner metropolitan suburb of Adelaide, in Mitcham Council, with mainly mixed commercial and residential development. It has a university campus. Notable landmarks include Main Building, Waite Agricultural Research Institute and Waite Arboretum, Waite Agricultural Research Institute.

Local school ICSEA scores are among the highest in the peer group, placing it among the highest-ranked inner metropolitan suburbs. University qualifications are among the highest in the peer group, with university qualifications 30% above the peer median, and working from home is a very strong feature of the suburb, with working from home 91% above the peer median. Space is a strength, but car dependence is high. The main trade-offs are thinner park access and thinner dining and café options, with park access 100% below the peer median.

Urrbrae is a better fit for people who value school quality and university qualifications more than 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 (~1,100), 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.

Socio-economic

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

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.
