Average rent in Light, SA — 2026

Light sits close to the South Australia median, with renters typically paying $260/week — within striking distance of the state-wide $283/week baseline (ABS Census 2021). The suburb is largely owner-occupied: 83% of households own outright or with a mortgage, and only 14% rent. Housing stock is dominated by separate houses (97%), giving the suburb a settled, family-oriented character that's reflected in the median age of 40 and a population of around 9,797. The most common occupation is Managers, and 11% of residents were born overseas. 65km from Adelaide, Light is the kind of mid-market suburb that usually sees stable rent trajectories rather than rapid spikes — though state rent indices since 2021 are worth checking against your reported figure above.
