List of places in South Australia by population

This is a list of cities/towns in South Australia by urban centre population.

Areas in a state or territory that are not included in an UCL are considered to be ‘rural’.

Suburbs of Adelaide are not included, with the exception of Gawler, Mount Barker, Crafers-Bridgewater and Nairne, which can all be seen as semi-rural suburbs but also as separate towns.

2021 Census[1] *Uraidila and Summertown are recorded separately until 2011 when they are merged.

They may be termed cities, shires, councils or other names, but they all function similarly.
