Kavel Torrens

Kavel and Torrens are nearby areas in South Australia with very different characters. Kavel is more residential and traditional, where 93.5% of homes are separate houses and a far higher 53.0% of people report no religion. In contrast, Torrens is far more multicultural and urban; 37.8% of its people were born overseas, and 37.5% use a language other than English at home. This urban nature is reflected in the walkability score, with Torrens being very walkable (7.1) compared to Kavel, which is somewhat walkable (4.2).

Both areas share a similar residential feel in some ways, with nearly identical numbers of people per home and the same typical monthly mortgage payment of $1,600. However, the gap in diversity is widening, as the share of overseas-born residents is now 23 percentage points higher in Torrens than in Kavel. This difference in population is also seen in the housing market, where the gap in the share of renters has increased since 2011.
