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

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, Seville Grove's population is estimated at around 12,725 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,317 people (11.5%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 11,408 people. The change was inferred from the resident population of 12,722 estimated 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 equates to a density ratio of 2,932 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Seville Grove's 11.5% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the national average (9.9%), marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the suburb was primarily driven by natural growth that 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 2022 as the base year. 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). Looking at population projections moving forward, a population increase just below the median of national areas is expected. The suburb is expected to increase by 1,583 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 12.4% in total 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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data shows Seville Grove experienced around 14 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 72 homes. Six approvals have been recorded so far in FY-26. On average, 17.9 people moved to the area per year for each dwelling built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating demand significantly exceeds new supply. New properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $221,000, below regional norms.

There have been $1.7 million in commercial approvals this financial year, reflecting minimal commercial development activity. Relative 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. The area's established nature is also evident when compared to national averages, suggesting potential planning limitations. New development consists of 92.0% detached dwellings and 8.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving Seville Grove's suburban character with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers.

With around 1254 people per dwelling approval, the area 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. Should current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.

By comparison, Greater Perth had employment growth of 2.9% and labour force growth of 3.0%. National employment forecasts from May-25 project a 6.6% increase over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these projections to Seville Grove's employment mix suggests local employment should grow by 5.9% in five years and 12.7% in ten years, though this is a simple extrapolation for illustrative purposes only.
