About the community profile 77
The Estimated Resident Population is the OFFICIAL City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters population for
2012.

Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of
Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of the City of Norwood
Payneham and St Peters. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than
every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP)
numbers for the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters.
See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to
use each one.

Settlement history
Settlement of the area dates from the late 1830s when land was first surveyed. In the early years, development was
located in the areas closest to Adelaide, with the land used mainly for farming, market gardens, flour mills, dairies,
orchards, nurseries and potteries. Villages were established at Kensington, Kent Town, Marryatville, Norwood and
Payneham. Growth was aided by the introduction of the horse-drawn tram from Adelaide and a development boom in
the 1880s which resulted in many market gardens being subdivided. There was substantial commercial development
and some residential growth in the inter-war period. Most of the land in the northern section (along the river) was not
subdivided until well into the 1900s, as it was held by the South Australian Company. Significant residential
development occurred in the post-war years of the 1950s and 1960s, spurred by the influx of migrants who were
attracted by the cheap housing in the older suburbs. During this period many of the grand houses in Norwood were
acquired by institutions or government agencies and the old sections of Kensington, Kent Town and West Norwood
were identified as slums and targeted for renewal. Light industry replaced some older housing areas in the 1960s and
1970s. Kensington and Norwood became a favourite for students and professionals because of the availability of
cheap historic housing. The population of the area was fairly static during the 1990s at about 32,000. The population
then increased slightly, rising to over 33,000 in 2006, and then to over 34,000 in 2011. The municipality is fully
developed, with new housing construction usually being redevelopment or urban infill.

Households form the common 'economic unit' in our society. The City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters's
Household Income is one of the most important indicators of socio-economic status. With other data sources, such as
Educational Qualifications and Occupation, it helps to reveal the economic opportunities and socio-economic status
of the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters. It is important to note that income data is not necessarily a measure
of wealth. For example, if an area has a large number of retirees this will produce a higher proportion of households
with low income but the retirees may have large capital wealth. For this reason, household income should be viewed
in conjunction with Age and Household Composition.

The size of households in general follows the life-cycle of families. Households are usually small at the stage of
relationship formation (early marriage), and then increase in size with the advent of children. They later reduce in size
again as these children reach adulthood and leave home. Household size can also be influenced by a lack (or
abundance) of affordable housing. Overseas migrants and indigenous persons often have a tradition of living with
extended family members which significantly affects household size.
Household size in Australia has declined since the 1970s but between 2006 and 2011, the average household size
remained stable for the nation as a whole.
An increasing household size in an area may indicate a lack of affordable housing opportunities for young people, an
increase in the birth rate or an increase in family formation in the area. A declining household size may indicate
children leaving the area when they leave home, an increase in retirees settling in the area, or an attraction of young
singles and couples to the area.
For greater insight, the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters's Household Size data should be viewed in
conjunction with Household Summary, Age Structure, Dwelling Type, Household Income and Language Spoken at
Home.

Dwelling Type is an important determinant of the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters's residential role and
function. A greater concentration of higher density dwellings is likely to attract more young adults and smaller
households, often renting. Larger, detached or separate dwellings are more likely to attract families and prospective
families. The residential built form often reflects market opportunities or planning policy, such as building denser
forms of housing around public transport nodes or employment centres.
Dwelling Type statistics should be viewed in conjunction with Household size, Household Types, Housing Tenure and
Age Structure for a more complete picture of the housing market in the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters.

The Number of Bedrooms in a dwelling is an indicator of the size of dwellings, and when combined with dwelling type
information, provides insight into the role the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters plays in the housing market.
For example, an area of high density dwellings that are predominantly 1-2 bedroom are likely to attract students,
single workers and young couples, whereas a high density area with dwellings that are predominantly 2-3 bedroom
may attract more empty nesters and some families.
In combination with Household type and Household size, the Number of Bedrooms can also indicate issues around
housing affordability, overcrowding and other socio-economic factors.

Mortgage repayments are directly related to house prices in the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters, length of
occupancy and the level of equity of home owners. When viewed with Household Income data it may also indicate the
level of housing stress households in the community are under. In mortgage belt areas it is expected that households
will be paying a higher proportion of their income on their housing compared to well-established areas. First home
buyer areas are also likely to have larger mortgages than upgrader areas where households move in with equity from
elsewhere.
Mortgage payment levels are not directly comparable over time because of inflation. For comparison of mortgage
payments over time, go to Housing Loan Quartiles.

Rental payments can be a better measure of the cost of housing in the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters than
mortgage repayments because they are not contingent on length of occupancy or equity in the dwelling.
High rental payments may indicate desirable areas with mobile populations who prefer to rent, or a housing shortage,
or gentrification. Low rental payments may indicate public housing (check Tenure Type), or areas where low income
households move by necessity for a lower cost of living.
Rental payments are not directly comparable over time because of inflation. For comparison of rental payments over
time, go to Housing Rental Quartiles.

The City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters SEIFA Index of Disadvantage measures the relative level of
socio-economic disadvantage based on a range of Census characteristics. It is a good place to start to get a
general view of the relative level of disadvantage in one area compared to others and is used to advocate for
an area based on its level of disadvantage.
The index is derived from attributes that reflect disadvantage such as low income, low educational attainment,
high unemployment, and jobs in relatively unskilled occupations. When targeting services to disadvantaged
communities, it is important to also look at these underlying characteristics as they can differ markedly between
areas with similar SEIFA scores and shed light on the type of disadvantage being experienced.
A higher score on the index means a lower level of disadvantage. A lower score on the index means a higher
level of disadvantage.

Demographic change across Australia is recorded by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in the Census
collections every five years. Population experts, .id, analyse and convert these raw figures into stories of place to
inform council staff, community groups, investors, business, students and the general public.
The City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters Community Profile provides demographic analysis for the City and its
suburbs based on results from the 2011, 2006, 2001, 1996 and 1991 Censuses of Population and Housing. The
profile is updated with population estimates when the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) releases new figures such
as the annual Estimated Resident Population (ERP).
Suburb boundaries and Census questions change over time, but .id manages the data to ensure that there is an
accurate time series provided for the current geographic boundaries. You can read more about this in the Geography
Notes section.
Results for the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters include population, age structure, ethnicity, ancestry,
religion, income, qualifications, occupations, employment, unemployment, disability, disadvantage, volunteering,
childcare, family structure, household structure, housing tenure, mortgage and rental payments, and the size and
type of the dwellings people live in.
The Community Profile presents this information in clear maps, tables and charts with concise factual commentary to
answer three important questions:
1. What are the characteristics of the people who live here?
2. How are they changing?
3. How do they compare to other areas?
This provides the basis for making evidence-based decisions about how to provide services for the community as it
changes.
You can be confident about the quality of the information as it is derived from Australian Bureau of Statistics data,
analysed and presented by population experts and funded by the City of Norwood Payneham and St Peters.
