Seville Grove

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

The population of the Seville Grove statistical area (Lv2) is estimated to be around 12,725 as of November 2025. This figure reflects an increase of 1,317 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 11,408. The change was inferred from the resident population estimate of 12,722 by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 14 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population results in a density ratio of 2,932 persons per square kilometer, placing Seville Grove in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The area's growth rate of 11.5% since the 2021 census exceeded the national average of 9.7%. Natural growth contributed approximately 54.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and to estimate growth post-2032, AreaSearch utilises growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). According to population projections, a population increase just below the median of national areas is expected for Seville Grove (SA2), with an increase of 1,583 persons to 2041, reflecting a total increase of 12.4% over the 17 years.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Seville Grove according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

Based on AreaSearch analysis, Seville Grove received approximately 14 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years from FY20 to FY25. This totals an estimated 72 homes. In FY26 so far, six approvals have been recorded. On average, 17.9 people moved to the area per year for each dwelling built between FY21 and FY25.

This indicates demand significantly exceeds new supply, which typically leads to price growth and increased buyer competition. New properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $221,000, below regional norms, offering more affordable housing options. In the current financial year, there have been $1.7 million in commercial approvals, suggesting minimal commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Perth, Seville Grove has markedly lower building activity, recording 89.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established properties.

The area's activity is also under the national average, indicating its established nature and potential planning limitations. New development in Seville Grove consists of 92.0% detached dwellings and 8.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the area's suburban nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. With around 1254 people per dwelling approval, Seville Grove reflects a highly mature market. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Seville Grove is expected to grow by 1,580 residents through to 2041. If current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.

Seville Grove has moderate levels of nearby infrastructure activity, ranking in the 47thth percentile nationally
