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
Seville has an estimated 2,632 residents, up from 2,559 at the 2021 Census — a change of 73 people, or 2.9%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. That puts 123 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Seville has an estimated population of approximately 2,632, determined through AreaSearch analysis of wider ABS demographic updates alongside 28 validated new addresses confirmed since the 2021 Census. This represents an addition of 73 people (2.9%) over the 2,559 people counted at the 2021 Census, with calculations grounded in ABS ERP figures released in June 2025. With a population density of 123 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Seville retains abundant open space and room to accommodate future expansion. Population gains have been notably resilient over the previous ten years, posting a 0.7% compound annual growth rate that exceeded the broader SA3 area, with natural increase serving as the primary driver by accounting for approximately 75.0% of recent population additions.
Projections for the suburb of Seville utilize 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia SA2 modelling based on 2022 benchmarks, supplemented where required by 2023 Victorian Government LGA projections aggregated to the SA2 level using growth-weighted formulas, with age-specific rates applied through 2032 to 2041. Future expansion in the suburb of Seville is slated to track slightly beneath the median of regions monitored by AreaSearch, with forecasts anticipating a rise of 120 persons to 2041—a cumulative advance of 4.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
50 new dwellings have been approved in Seville over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 2.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, running ahead of 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
Over the past 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, building activity in Seville has generated approximately 50 approved dwellings at a steady pace of around 10 approvals annually, including 14 approvals logged during FY-25 to date. Housing demand remains solid with 2.2 incoming occupants per home over these 5 financial years, supporting property valuations alongside an average construction cost of $619,000 per dwelling, slightly above regional norms. Underlining the suburb's predominantly residential profile, $1.9 million in commercial development approvals have also been registered during this financial year. Per capita construction activity in Seville sits at around 57% of the Greater Melbourne level, ranking within the 60th percentile across the country despite a recent acceleration in building approvals.
This subdued pace relative to national averages reflects market maturity and constrained site availability. Approvals currently consist of 83.0% detached houses and 17.0% medium-to-high density units or townhouses, introducing greater diversity to a housing stock that stands at 100.0% houses while preserving its low-density nature. Density remains low with roughly 228 residents per residential approval. With Seville projected to welcome an additional 120 residents through to 2041 according to recent quarterly estimates, prevailing construction volumes appear well positioned to satisfy demand, creating favourable buyer conditions and providing scope to accommodate growth above baseline forecasts.

Hereford Road Childcare Centre and Development Site
A planning permit for a 104-place childcare centre on a 5014 sqm site at 19-23 Hereford Road, Mount Evelyn was approved by VCAT on 4 December 2024, following a Council refusal that was overturned on appeal. The application, lodged by Planning Property Partners, originally also proposed a 24/7 McDonald's restaurant on the site, but the fast-food component was refused by Council and the refusal was upheld by VCAT. The childcare centre occupies about 43 percent of the supersite, which retains a development scheme allowing for an additional quick-service restaurant / fast-food outlet subject to further approval.The property was the site of Pro Futsal Mt Evelyn, a sports complex and physiotherapy clinic, held on a lease expiring 31 December 2025. The site was taken to market via Expressions of Interest closing 2 July 2025 through Burgess Rawson and Teska Carson, and has since sold; the purchaser has not been publicly disclosed. No construction start date has been confirmed.

1,510 residents of Seville are employed, from a labour force of 1,571. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 74.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,057, about 78% 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
Seville maintains an evenly distributed blue and white-collar workforce, distinguished by high building sector involvement, a low unemployment rate of 3.9%, and 1.1% yearly employment expansion. By March 2026, 1,510 residents were employed, while the local jobless rate sat 0.9% under Greater Melbourne's 4.8% and workforce participation reached 74.5% versus 70.1% across Greater Melbourne. Census records indicated that 20.9% of workers operated from home, though pandemic restrictions during that period should be noted. Resident employment centers predominantly around healthcare & social assistance, construction, and manufacturing. Construction shows exceptionally strong representation at 2.1 times the regional norm, whereas professional & technical roles account for only 5.7% of local workers compared to 10.1% across the region.
A comparison of resident workers to local job numbers suggests that local workplace opportunities within the area are limited. Throughout the twelve months leading to March 2026, the local workforce grew by 1.7% while jobs rose by 1.1%, lifting unemployment by 0.5 percentage points; in comparison, Greater Melbourne registered a 2.1% job gain, 2.3% labour force increase, and a 0.2 percentage point unemployment rise. National projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 anticipate nationwide employment increases of 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, which, when mapped to Seville's specific industry composition, indicate potential local employment expansion of 6.1% over five years and 12.7% over ten years.

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 — 28 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,559 at the 2021 Census → 2,632 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL22263). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
