In 2019, the population of Pilton West was 253, and its area was around 1.6 square miles (4.16 square kilometres). The parish is older than the national average — 28% of the local residents are over 65, compared to 18% of the British population — and it is overwhelmingly white, with the 2011 census finding that all but one of the parish's residents identified themselves as white. It elects a parish council, the clerk of which is Geoff Dwyer.The parish spans a wide tract of land to the north-west of Barnstaple, from the River Yeo and Smoky House Lane in the east to the banks of the River Taw's estuary and a short section of the A361 road in the south-west. The A39 road — named here as Shirwell Road — and Upcott Hill run north–south through the parish, connecting it with Pilton proper. There is also a north–south right of way that follows the path of a rivulet called the Colm Stream or Bradiford Water, and next to the right of way, a copse called Tutshill Woods. One traveller reports that Tutshill Woods is a popular dog-walking spot.
