Stoneville

Stoneville is positioned among the lower quartile of areas assessed nationally for population growth based on AreaSearch's assessment of recent, and medium term trends

Stoneville's population, as of November 2025, is estimated at around 2,628 people. This figure reflects an increase of 139 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,489 people. The current resident population estimate of 2,610 by AreaSearch, following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, indicates this growth. An additional two validated new addresses since the Census date also contribute to this increase. This results in a population density ratio of 142 persons per square kilometer.

The primary driver for Stoneville's population growth was overseas migration, contributing approximately 41.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. However, all drivers including interstate migration and natural growth were positive factors. 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, AreaSearch utilises the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) to estimate post-2032 growth. Considering projected demographic shifts, Stoneville is expected to experience above median population growth. According to aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb is anticipated to increase by 372 persons by 2041, reflecting a gain of 14.6% in total over the 17 years.

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

Stoneville has recorded approximately two residential properties granted approval per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated eleven homes. In FY26 so far, one approval has been recorded. On average, 13.4 new residents are associated with each home built in the area between FY21 and FY25, indicating a significant demand outpacing supply.

The average construction value of new homes is $629,000, suggesting developers focus on premium market high-end developments. Compared to Greater Perth, Stoneville has significantly less development activity, 81.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established homes. Recent construction activity has intensified, with all recent developments comprising standalone homes, preserving the area's low density nature. As of now, there are estimated to be 584 people in Stoneville per dwelling approval.

Population forecasts indicate an increase of 384 residents by 2041. If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
