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

As of November 2025, AreaSearch estimates the population of the Doubleview statistical area (Lv2) to be around 10,331. This figure represents a 12.2% increase from the 2021 Census count of 9,205 people. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimated resident population of 10,064 in June 2024 and an additional 45 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 3,973 persons per square kilometer, placing Doubleview in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration contributed approximately 63.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. Based on ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 with a 2022 base year, and using growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023 based on 2022 data), AreaSearch projects an above median population growth for the area.

By 2041, the Doubleview (SA2) is expected to expand by 1,753 persons, reflecting a total increase of 15.3% over the 17-year period.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers in Doubleview shows approximately 35 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling around 178 homes. As of FY26, 16 approvals have been recorded. On average, each home built between FY21 and FY25 accommodates about 5.9 new residents annually. This indicates a supply-demand imbalance that may put upward pressure on prices and increase competition among buyers.

The average construction cost for these properties is around $412,000, suggesting developers target the premium market segment with higher-end properties. In FY26, approximately $5.6 million in commercial approvals have been registered, indicating limited commercial development focus compared to residential growth. When compared to Greater Perth, Doubleview has 16.0% less building activity per person but ranks among the 61st percentile nationally based on area assessments. New developments consist of 59.0% detached houses and 41.0% attached dwellings, with a growing mix of townhouses and apartments offering options across different price points.

This shift marks a significant departure from current housing patterns (75.0% houses), suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. With around 242 people per dwelling approval, Doubleview exhibits a developing market. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, the suburb is expected to grow by approximately 1,579 residents by 2041. If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
