West Torrens Area

Along the western edge of Adelaide, South Australia is the City of West Torrens. This area consists of 25 suburbs. The majority of these suburbs are fairly sparsely populated, as this is a fairly rural area of South Australia.

Much of the region consists of wide open spaces, farmland, and parks. The total population for the entire region reaches just over 55,000 people. Many of the suburbs have between 2,000 to 3,000 residents. The dwellers of this area tend to be slightly older on average than the general Australian population.

During the late '90s, this area of South Australia began to see a greater amount of development, and more residential, commercial, and industrial areas were created. Today, the suburb of Richmond is one of the greatest examples of this growth. Over the last decade, the suburb has expanded and many new, planned residential communities have been constructed.
