Suburb profile
Kurralta Park is a practical mid-sized suburb in West Torrens Council, well placed for families who want metro access without the inner-city squeeze. A younger crowd gives the area energy, with a strong working population. Most local households sit in a multicultural mix, with overseas-born residents and languages other than English common at home.
Local schools rate highly against similar suburbs. Everyday errands are walkable, and buses keep the wider city within easy reach. Housing is expensive relative to much of the state.
Reported crime has been falling recently. Steady development is bringing new homes and gradual renewal to parts of the suburb.
Desirability sits around average overall, with local dining and lifestyle amenities the main drag compared with similar metro suburbs.

Methodology
Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.
The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~3,800), extrapolated at +1.4% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?
IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.
IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.
A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
