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

As of November 2025, the estimated population of Seville Grove is around 12,722, reflecting an increase of 1,314 people since the 2021 Census. This growth represents an 11.5% increase from the previous population count of 11,408. AreaSearch validated this estimate following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and the addition of 14 new addresses since the Census date. The population density stands at 2,931 persons per square kilometer, placing Seville Grove in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. This growth exceeds the national average of 8.9%, marking Seville Grove as a growth leader in the region. 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 post-2032 estimates, 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). Looking ahead, population projections indicate an increase just below the median of national areas, with Seville Grove expected to grow by 1,583 persons to reach a total of 14,305 by 2041, reflecting a 12.4% increase over the 17-year period.

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 of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Seville Grove experienced around 14 dwellings receiving development approval annually over the past five financial years ending FY25. This totals an estimated 72 homes. In the current financial year FY26, four approvals have been recorded so far. Between FY21 and FY25, an average of 17.9 people moved to the area for each dwelling built.

This indicates demand significantly exceeds new supply, typically leading to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction cost value of new properties is $221,000, below regional norms, reflecting more affordable housing options for purchasers. In FY26, there have been $102,000 in commercial approvals, indicating minimal commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Perth, Seville Grove records markedly lower building activity, 89.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established properties.

This activity is also under the national average, suggesting the area's established nature and potential planning limitations. New development 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 the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Seville Grove is expected to grow by 1,583 residents through to 2041. If current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
