Overview

South Australia’s population was 1,806,599 in December 2021, with more than 77 % living in Greater Adelaide and its suburbs; the state’s other centres are much smaller, the second‑largest being Mount Gambier with roughly 27 000 residents. Covering 984,310 km², it is the fifth‑largest Australian state by population yet has a low overall density.

The economy rests on agricultural, manufacturing and mining production, complemented by strong health‑care, retail and education employment that together comprised a significant portion of the 806,593‑person workforce in 2016. After a COVID‑19‑induced dip, the gross state product rose 3.9 % in 2020‑21, driven in part by a 24 % increase in agricultural output.
