How the population splits across age groups.
Kallista has a notably older profile, as seniors aged 65 and over make up 22.4% of the population, which is well above the national figure. This helps explain why children under 15 are well below the state and national rates at 14.4%.
More than half of residents are married and 16.2% are in a de facto relationship, which is well above the national figure. About 0.7% of the population are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, a rate slightly below the national average.
