This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Doubleview has an estimated 9,960 residents, up from 9,205 at the 2021 Census — a change of 755 people, or 8.2%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 63.0% of that increase. That puts 3,831 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Doubleview's population is estimated at approximately 9,960 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside new addresses confirmed following the Census. This represents an addition of 755 people (8.2%) compared to the 9,205 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such growth is drawn from an estimated resident population of 9,919 identified by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP figures, supplemented by 55 validated new addresses since the Census date. With a density of 3,830 persons per square kilometer, Doubleview ranks in the top 10% of locations nationwide evaluated by AreaSearch, underscoring intense demand for local land.
The suburb of Doubleview expanded by 8.2% since census, trailing the national benchmark of 9.5% by only 1.3 percentage points and illustrating solid demographic momentum. Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 63.0% of recent population additions. For individual SA2 units, AreaSearch applies projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. To evaluate areas outside this dataset and project figures beyond 2032, AreaSearch integrates age-bracket growth metrics from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 figures). Taking these demographic trajectories into account, the suburb of Doubleview is slated to achieve above median population growth relative to benchmarks evaluated by AreaSearch. Specifically, aggregated SA2 projections indicate the locality will expand by 1,536 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 15.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
161 new dwellings have been approved in Doubleview over the past five years, an average of 32 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 59% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 24, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Examining ABS residential approval statistics allocated across statistical boundaries, AreaSearch notes that Doubleview has averaged roughly 32 new residential approvals per year, accumulating an estimated 161 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 24 approvals have been lodged. Between FY-21 and FY-25, the area added an average of 2.9 new residents per dwelling completed annually, demonstrating robust housing demand that underpins property values. New residences carry an average construction value of $536,000, marginally exceeding the regional benchmark and pointing toward premium building activity. Concurrently, non-residential approvals stand at $5.6 million this financial year, highlighting subdued commercial development momentum.
Per capita construction in Doubleview runs at roughly three-quarters the level observed across Greater Perth, placing the suburb in the 37th percentile across the country and restricting buyer supply, which bolsters interest in established stock. Recent residential building activity comprises 59.0% standalone homes and 41.0% attached dwellings, broadening the supply of medium-density housing and providing varied price points from traditional family residences to compact options. This marks a clear pivot from the existing profile of 75.0% houses, signaling limited development parcels while responding to evolving lifestyle and budget preferences. With approximately 395 people per approval, the local construction sector reflects a mature environment. Moving forward, the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures indicate Doubleview is set to gain 1,495 residents through to 2041. If prevailing construction volumes persist, housing supply could fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying buyer competition and placing upward pressure on property prices.

The project is delivered jointly by Western Power and the City of Stirling to improve network safety, power reliability, and streetscape canopy growth.
Future Doubleview - Local Planning Strategy
An urban transformation initiative by the City of Stirling to prepare a new Local Planning Strategy for Doubleview. Arising from a Council resolution on 11 June 2024 (Resolution 0624/007), the strategy will guide land use planning to create a more connected, sustainable, and liveable suburb by addressing population growth, housing diversity, transport, community facilities, and infrastructure while maintaining green spaces and community spirit. Doubleview's population is forecast to reach 10,982 by 2035. The strategy forms part of the broader Future Stirling review of the City's Strategic Community Plan (Sustainable Stirling 2026-2036), with the draft plan open for community review in May 2026.
Stirling Bus Interchange Upgrade
Upgrade of the Stirling Bus Interchange adjoining Stirling Station and Mitchell Freeway. The project expands the bus interchange from an 18-stand facility to a 29-30 stand facility and provides a new pedestrian concourse between Stirling Station and the southern car park. The works are being delivered by Main Roads WA on behalf of the Public Transport Authority as part of the wider Stephenson Avenue Extension project. The new section of the bus bridge opened to Transperth passengers in April 2026, with remaining interchange, car park, road and path works continuing toward mid-2026 completion.
Stirling Bus Interchange Upgrade
Major upgrade of the Stirling Bus Interchange to expand capacity from 18 to 30 bus stands. The project includes a new 36-meter-long enclosed pedestrian bridge over the Mitchell Freeway, a new concourse, and a upgraded southern car park. The new interchange facility partially opened to bus services on April 25, 2026, while finishing works on the old interchange resurfacing and pedestrian bridge fixtures continue toward a mid-2026 final completion.
Osborne Park Hospital Women and Newborn Services Expansion
Major expansion of Osborne Park Hospital being delivered as part of the 1.8 billion dollar New Women and Babies Hospital Project, which will double the site's birthing capacity. Construction officially commenced in March 2026 with site clearing, bulk earthworks, piling and assembly of the first tower crane scheduled over the first six months. The project comprises a six-storey main clinical building and an interconnected four-storey support services building. New and expanded facilities include maternity, gynaecology and neonatology services, a dedicated Family Birth Centre, obstetric theatres, expanded labour and birth suites, ambulatory care, intensive care and high dependency, a mother and baby mental health unit, outpatient clinics, and upgraded campus support including pharmacy, pathology, sterilisation, kitchen and catering services.Works are expected to be completed in 2029 and will accommodate around 200 full time equivalent staff under shift arrangements.
Westfield Innaloo Redevelopment (Westfield Stirling)
A major $600 million transformation of Westfield Innaloo into 'Westfield Stirling.' The project aims to nearly double the centre's size to 110,000sqm, adding 110 new retailers, a rooftop entertainment precinct with a new cinema complex, and a fresh food market. While deferred in late 2019, the project remains a cornerstone of the Stirling City Centre urban regeneration plan, which includes over $350 million in government-funded transport infrastructure like the Stephenson Avenue Extension, currently under construction and scheduled for completion by mid-2026 to unlock surrounding land for mixed-use and residential development.
Stirling City Centre Development
A 351-hectare urban renewal project transforming Stirling into a high-intensity mixed-use precinct centered around the Stirling train station and Innaloo retail hub. Key 2026 milestones include the finalisation of the Stephenson Avenue Extension Phase 2 interchange and the progression of Local Planning Scheme No. 4 (LPS4). The vision features a trackless tram mid-tier transit system, an extensive green corridor, and a premier sports and recreation precinct currently undergoing technical investigations.
6,120 residents of Doubleview are employed, from a labour force of 6,305. Unemployment sits at 2.9%, with participation at 77.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,101, about 71% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Doubleview's labour force is distinguished by advanced educational qualifications, prominent professional services participation, an unemployment rate of only 2.9%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 2.8% based on AreaSearch's statistical area data. There are 6,120 employed residents as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 1.3% below the 4.2% recorded for Greater Perth, alongside an elevated labour force participation rate of 77.0% versus 69.9% across the broader metro. Census records indicate that only 11.2% of workers operated from home, though historical Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind. The primary employment fields for the local workforce comprise health care & social assistance, professional & technical, and education & training.
Professional & technical roles display notable concentration, capturing an employment share 1.4 times greater than the metropolitan standard. In contrast, manufacturing represents a small segment at 3.1% compared to 5.5% across the region. Given the predominantly residential fabric, local employment capacity is modest, as demonstrated by the variance between resident workers and local jobs recorded at the Census. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM statistical data shows that in the twelve months to March 2026, employment grew by 2.8% alongside a 3.0% rise in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point uptick in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth recorded employment growth of 2.0% and labour supply growth of 2.5%, causing a 0.4 percentage point increase in unemployment. Industry outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further context on potential occupational demand in Doubleview across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge across industries. Weighting these projections against the area's sectoral distribution suggests local employment may rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, noting this extrapolation serves illustrative purposes and excludes local demographic modeling.

How the numbers are built
Population
The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,205 at the 2021 Census → 9,960 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.
Age profile
Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to Aug 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".
Property sales
Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.
Rents
Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.
Development & infrastructure
Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.
Employment & income
Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.
Education, transport & amenities
School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.
Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.
Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.
