Doubleview

Population growth drivers in Doubleview are strong compared to national averages based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, the estimated population of the suburb of Doubleview is around 10,340 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,135 people (12.3%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 9,205 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 10,064, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, and an additional 46 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,976 persons per square kilometer, which lies in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch, making land in the area a highly-sought resource. The suburb of Doubleview's 12.3% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (9.9%), marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 63.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and to estimate growth across all areas in the years post-2032, AreaSearch is utilising the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Anticipating future population dynamics, an above median population growth of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is projected, with the suburb of Doubleview expected to expand by 1,746 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total increase of 15.1% over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Doubleview among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis indicates that Doubleview has received approximately 35 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 178 homes from FY21 to FY25. As of FY26, 16 approvals have been recorded. On average, each home built in this period accommodates around 5.9 new residents annually.

This suggests demand significantly outpaces supply, potentially driving up prices and increasing buyer competition. The average construction cost for dwellings in Doubleview is $412,000, indicating a focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties. Commercial approvals this financial year amount to $5.6 million, reflecting the area's predominantly residential nature. Compared to Greater Perth, Doubleview exhibits 16.0% lower construction activity per person but ranks in the 61st percentile nationally among assessed areas.

Recent construction comprises 59.0% detached houses and 41.0% townhouses or apartments, marking a shift from the current pattern of 75.0% houses. This suggests decreasing developable land availability and a response to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. Doubleview's population growth is projected at around 242 people per approval, reflecting a transitioning market. By 2041, AreaSearch estimates an increase of 1,563 residents. If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag behind population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and supporting price growth.
