Average rent in Mallala, SA — 2026

Mallala runs roughly with the South Australia state median — renters typically pay $265/week, close to the $283/week state baseline (ABS Census 2021). Most households here own (80% are owners or paying off a mortgage) and only 15% rent. Separate houses dominate the housing stock (95%), which gives the suburb a quieter, family-leaning feel — borne out by a median age of 43 and a population around 3,335. The most common occupation is Labourers, and 13% of residents were born overseas. Mallala is 48km from Adelaide, and rent trajectories here tend to track the state average rather than running ahead of it — but state rent indices have moved since 2021, so double-check against the live figure above.
