AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Aubin Grove recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential construction approvals distributed from statistical zones, the suburb of Aubin Grove has averaged roughly 12 home approvals annually, compiling an estimated 64 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 14 building approvals have been registered. With an average of 9.4 additional residents per year arriving for each finished home across the prior 5 financial years (running from FY-21 to FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, a dynamic that generally drives up property values and heightens buyer rivalry, while newly built properties carry an average construction value of $467,000, indicating that builders are targeting wealthier buyers with upscale projects.

In comparison to Greater Perth, the suburb of Aubin Grove exhibits substantially quieter construction volumes (81.0% lower than the metropolitan per capita average). This constrained supply pipeline typically bolsters demand and supports the value of existing homes. Construction is likewise below the countrywide average, indicating the established nature of the locality and potential zoning limitations. Additionally, recent building projects have consisted solely of standalone houses, preserving the traditional low-density residential environment that draws families seeking space. The suburb of Aubin Grove has roughly 515 residents for every single home approval, highlighting its established status.

Future forecasts indicate the suburb of Aubin Grove will add 813 inhabitants by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. If current building rates do not increase, housing supply may fail to keep pace with population growth, potentially intensifying competition among buyers and supporting property price growth.

AreaSearch analysis of employment trends sees Aubin Grove performing better than 85% of local markets assessed across Australia

The suburb of Aubin Grove possesses a highly educated labor pool with strong representation in critical public sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of a mere 1.9%, according to AreaSearch's compilation of regional statistical data. As of March 2026, there are 4,096 employed locals, and the jobless rate sits 2.3% below the Greater Perth mark of 4.2%, while labor force participation is exceptionally high at 75.7% compared to 70.2% across Greater Perth. Census records show that a modest 9.5% of working residents performed their jobs from home, although this may reflect temporary pandemic restrictions.

The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, education & training, and construction. Conversely, the food services and accommodation sector is underrepresented, employing only 5.5% of the local workforce compared to 6.8% across the broader Perth metropolitan area. This mainly residential pocket provides few jobs within its borders, as shown by the disparity between the Census local working population and the local resident workforce.

Based on AreaSearch's aggregation of SALM and ABS statistics for the surrounding region, the labor force shrank by 4.2% and total employment dropped by 4.3% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, with the unemployment rate remaining virtually unchanged. Conversely, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% rise in employment and a 2.5% expansion in the labor force, while its unemployment rate ticked up by 0.4 percentage points. The national employment outlook released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provides additional perspective on prospective local job demand. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been aligned with the local workforce makeup to project local trends. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry-specific forecasts onto the local employment profile suggests local employment in the suburb of Aubin Grove will rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local demographic forecasts).
