Angle Park
A 52% renter majority and a crime rate of 140.2 per 1,000 residents distinguish Angle Park from most Adelaide suburbs, yet house prices climbed 35.2% in a single year to reach $1,041,000 by 1Q 2026. The suburb packs 1,555 people into 1.07 square kilometres, giving a density of 1,453 per km2. Nearly half the population, 47.4%, was born overseas, which is 25.8 points above the national figure, and household income sits at just the 22.5th percentile nationally, a low-income profile that contrasts sharply with that price jump.

The $1,041,000 median house price marks a 35.2% rise from $770,000 in 1Q 2025, one of the sharpest single-year moves in the SA data. Separate houses make up 58.1% of dwellings and semi-detached dwellings 32.6%, giving buyers reasonable stock variety. The dominant bedroom configuration is 3-bedroom at 46.9%, followed by 2-bedroom at 34.7%, with 4-plus bedrooms at 15.6%. Monthly mortgage repayments average $1,500, and the mortgage-to-income ratio sits at 29.8%, just below the 30% stress threshold. Outright ownership is low at 13.4%, with 34.5% carrying a mortgage, so the suburb attracts buyers who are still in accumulation phase rather than established, debt-free owners common in higher-income areas.

For Investors
With 52.0% of residents renting, Angle Park is firmly renter-majority, offering landlords a broad tenant pool. Weekly rent is $199, and the vacancy rate sits at 6.7%, which is elevated compared to tight SA metro markets, suggesting tenants have some choice and yield expectations should be measured accordingly. Only 18 development applications were lodged in the past 12 months, a low volume that signals limited new supply pressure. The 35.2% price growth over the past year is notable, though the low income base (household income at the 22.5th percentile nationally) may cap sustainable rent growth. The overseas-born share of 47.4% creates a consistent tenant pipeline tied to migration flows.

Demographics
The median age of 41 is 1 year above the national figure, and average household size of 2.5 matches the national average exactly. The overseas-born share of 47.4% is 25.8 points above national, reflecting strong migration history. Top ancestries are English (290), Vietnamese (275) and Chinese (89), with Punjabi (48 speakers) the leading non-English language. Buddhism (169 adherents) ranks second behind Christianity (603), consistent with the Southeast Asian demographic presence. University qualifications reach 34.0%, which is 3.9 points above the national figure, a modest advantage despite the low-income profile. Household mobility is low, with 82.3% of residents having stayed at the same address, suggesting community roots despite the high renter proportion.

Tenure
Angle Park recorded a median house price of $1,041,000 in 1Q 2026, up 35.2% from $770,000 just four quarters earlier. Tenure is skewed heavily toward renting at 52.0%, while outright ownership is low at 13.4% and mortgage holders account for 34.5%. Separate houses dominate at 58.1% of the stock, with semi-detached dwellings adding 32.6% and apartments just 8.4%. Three-bedroom homes are the most common at 46.9%, giving families reasonable options. Rent stress is not flagged, with rent-to-income at 17.1%, and mortgage-to-income of 29.8% sits just under the stress line. The vacancy rate of 6.7% is above typical metro tightness, which may reflect the combined effect of higher rent in a low-income area.

Transport to Work
Car dependency is high, with 81.2% of residents driving to work, compared to national averages where car use is significant but lower in inner suburbs. Public transport use reaches 8.0% and walking or cycling 3.2%. No schools are recorded within Angle Park's boundaries, so families depend on institutions in neighbouring suburbs. The crime rate of 140.2 per 1,000 residents is a high-crime-rate signal, above typical suburban benchmarks, and is one of the suburb's primary liveability challenges. Rent-to-income of 17.1% is manageable for current tenants, but the 17.1% rate of residents needing daily assistance points to a population with complex welfare needs. The suburb's 1.07 km2 compact footprint gives residents reasonable access to Adelaide's inner west amenities.

However, the vacancy rate of 6.7% is elevated, weekly rent of $199 is low relative to the purchase price, and household income sits at the 22.5th percentile nationally, which may limit sustained rent growth.

Detailed population forecasts are not available in this dataset, but the overseas-born share of 47.4%, which is 25.8 points above national, signals continued migration as a key driver. The low turnover rate of 17.7% means 82.3% of residents stayed at the same address, pointing to stable rather than rapidly churning population.

How to read these comparisons
Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.
Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.
Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state Valuer-General (house prices), Department of Jobs SALM (unemployment), ACARA (school ICSEA), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
