 :::I think you entirely misunderstood my point - I was saying Pearce is really ""rural"", not ""outer metropolitan"" at all, but is also classed outer metropolitan by the AEC. I disagree re Belair, it's the equivalent of our hills suburbs like Kalamunda (it backs onto a national park and roads from it immediately leave the metro area), just Adelaide has a much smaller metro area so it ""seems"" more inner. My personal opinion is we shouldn't carry the AEC's designations at all and should simply state where it is located factually, without subjective comparative references. i.e. ""It is located between x and x km south of Adelaide, extending from the beachside suburbs of Brighton, Seacliff and Marino to the Belair National Park on Adelaide's eastern fringe, | and includes the suburbs of Marion, Mitchell Park, Daw Park, Mitcham, Pasadena, Belair and Blackwood | [major suburbs only; either this or leave it out and follow with a list under a heading]. It is home to the largest shopping centre in Adelaide, Westfield Marion, and the main campus of Flinders University, and until 2008 also housed the Tonsley Park Mitsubishi plant. At the 2006 census, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that the median income for Boothby was slightly above average for both Adelaide and the state, while Boothby's median SEIFA index of advantage-disadvantage for the 2006 census was between 1000 and 1025 (56th decile). The median age was 42 compared to 38 across Adelaide."" I provide this only as an example, if you want it and the sources that go with it, let me know. That sort of reportage is factual, neutral, sourceable and covers a few bases without a need to resort to vague terms or WP:OR explanations.  "
