Renting in Elizabeth
Elizabeth comes in below the South Australia median, with renters typically paying $225/week — about 20% under the state-wide $283/week baseline (ABS Census 2021). What stands out is the renter share — 56% of households here rent, well above the state-wide owner-occupier baseline. Lower-than-median rent paired with a renter majority typically means a faster-moving rental market: more frequent turnover and more places coming up for rent at any given time. Housing breaks down as 51% separate houses and 4% flats. Population is 10,829, median age 36, and the most common occupation is Labourers. 31% of residents were born overseas, and the suburb sits 22km from Adelaide. Applications can close quickly here, so flexibility on inspection times helps.
