Overseas migration contributed approximately 63.0% to recent population gains. Using ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023 based on 2022 data for areas not covered, AreaSearch projects an above median growth for the suburb until 2041. By then, Doubleview's population is expected to reach 11,811, reflecting an 18.2% increase over the 17-year period.

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 Australian statistical areas is projected, with the area expected to expand by 1,745 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting with an increase of 18.2% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential approval activity sees Doubleview among the top 30% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data shows Doubleview experienced approximately 34 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totaling an estimated 173 homes. As of FY26, 10 approvals have been recorded. This results in an average of six new residents per year for every home built between FY21 and FY25, indicating demand outpaces supply, which typically exerts upward pressure on prices and intensifies competition among buyers. New properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $413,000.

In FY26, $1.4 million in commercial approvals have been registered, reflecting the area's residential nature. Compared to Greater Perth, Doubleview records 18.0% less building activity per person and ranks among the 56th percentile nationally, suggesting established characteristics and potential planning limitations. New development comprises 61.0% standalone homes and 39.0% townhouses or apartments, offering choices across price ranges from spacious family homes to compact options. With around 275 people per dwelling approval, Doubleview indicates a developing market.

AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate forecasts an increase of 1,836 residents by 2041. If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and supporting price growth.
