Average rent in Salisbury East, SA — 2026

The suburb is largely owner-occupied: 75% of households own outright or with a mortgage, and only 21% rent. Housing stock is dominated by separate houses (87%), giving the suburb a settled, family-oriented character that's reflected in the median age of 40 and a population of around 18,454. The most common occupation is Technicians and Trades Workers, and 27% of residents were born overseas. 18km from Adelaide, Salisbury East 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.
