As of February 2026, the estimated population of Aubin Grove is around 7,479, reflecting a 10.2% increase since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 6,786 people. This growth is inferred from AreaSearch's resident population estimate of 7,351 in June 2024, based on the latest ERP data release by the ABS, and an additional 14 validated new addresses since the Census date. The suburb's population density ratio is 3,027 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Aubin Grove's growth rate of 10.2% since the 2021 census exceeded the national average of 9.9%. Interstate migration contributed approximately 49.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers including overseas migration and natural growth being positive factors. AreaSearch is using ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, to project future demographic shifts.

For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Considering these projections, an above median population growth is projected for statistical areas across the nation, with Aubin Grove expected to increase by 1,996 persons to reach a total of 9,475 by 2041, reflecting a 33.6% increase over the 17-year period.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Aubin Grove when compared nationally

AreaSearch analysis indicates Aubin Grove averaged approximately 15 new dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 77 homes. As of FY-26, 11 approvals have been recorded. Between FY-21 and FY-25, around 19.8 people moved to the area per year for each dwelling built, indicating significant demand outpacing supply.

New properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $467,000, targeting the premium segment. Compared to Greater Perth, Aubin Grove has significantly less development activity, approximately 78.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established dwellings. Recent building activity consists entirely of standalone homes, maintaining the area's traditional suburban character focused on family homes. With around 285 people per dwelling approval, Aubin Grove shows a developing market.

By 2041, Aubin Grove is projected to grow by approximately 2,513 residents. If current development rates continue, housing supply may not keep pace with population growth, potentially increasing competition among buyers and supporting stronger price growth.
