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
Stoneville has an estimated 2,673 residents, up from 2,489 at the 2021 Census — a change of 184 people, or 7.4%. Growth has averaged 1.1% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 41.0% of that increase. That puts 145 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
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Stoneville has reached an estimated population of 2,673 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 184 people (7.4%) over the 2,489 people counted in the 2021 Census. The updated figure of 2,673 incorporates findings from the ABS ERP data release in June 2025 alongside 4 validated new addresses recorded after the Census date. With a density of 145 persons per square kilometer, the suburb of Stoneville offers spacious living with scope for long-term expansion.
Furthermore, the local 7.4% post-census growth rate remains within 2.1 percentage points of the 9.5% nationwide benchmark. While all demographic drivers—such as natural increase and interstate arrivals—yielded positive results, overseas migration served as the principal catalyst, generating roughly 41.0% of recent population gains. Demographic projections compiled by AreaSearch apply 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia figures (using 2022 as a base year) for each SA2. Where SA2 data is unavailable, or when forecasting beyond 2032 across all localities, calculations incorporate cohort-specific rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Long-term forecasts for the suburb of Stoneville indicate an expansion rate exceeding the national statistical area median, adding 361 persons to reach 2041 under aggregated SA2 modeling, which translates to a total cumulative increase of 13.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building consent records mapped from statistical areas show that new residential approvals have been virtually nonexistent across Stoneville in recent times, totaling an estimated 3 homes across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) alongside 9 so far in FY-25. With an intake rate averaging 11.4 new residents per year for each home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), structural supply significantly trails incoming demand, fostering elevated competition and upward pricing pressure among buyers. Meanwhile, newly constructed residences carry an average value of $594,000, underscoring a concentration among builders on high-end, premium dwellings.
Relative to Greater Perth, residential construction in Stoneville is substantially subdued, trailing the regional per-capita baseline by 80.0%. Even though development pace has picked up lately, this constrained delivery pipeline continues to bolster demand and asset values for established houses. Output also lags national figures, reflecting local development maturity and potential regulatory restrictions. Moreover, recent residential building has consisted solely of detached houses, preserving the neighborhood's low-density, spacious setting aimed at families. A quiet development landscape is further highlighted by an estimated ratio of 440 people per building permit.

1,527 residents of Stoneville are employed, from a labour force of 1,550. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 69.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,211, about 83% 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
Stoneville is characterized by a capable local workforce featuring strong representation across industrial and manufacturing trades, a low jobless rate of 1.5%, and an estimated 3.4% annual employment increase derived from aggregated statistical area data. Current figures for March 2026 show 1,527 residents actively working, an unemployment rate standing 2.7% below the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%, and a participation rate matching the Greater Perth level of 69.9%. Census records indicate that merely 10.0% of workers performed their duties from home, although pandemic restrictions during that period must be noted.
A substantial portion of the local workforce is engaged in the mining, construction, and health care & social assistance industries. Mining displays exceptional concentration locally, employing 1.5 times the regional proportion. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 10.0% of Stoneville workers, sitting well below the 14.8% recorded across Greater Perth. The discrepancy between local resident numbers and resident worker counts illustrates the area's primarily suburban nature with constrained internal commercial employment opportunities. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM metrics from broader statistical zones, local employment grew by 3.4% over the 12-month period in tandem with a 3.4% increase in the labour force, keeping joblessness virtually static. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0% and the labour pool expand by 2.5%, accompanied by a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Looking ahead, Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26 provide context for future local labor requirements. While nationwide employment is modeled to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector trajectories vary. Applying these sectoral forecasts to the resident job profile projects local job numbers to rise by 5.7% over five years and 12.3% over ten years (note that this weighted calculation is illustrative and excludes local demographic forecasts).

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 — 4 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,489 at the 2021 Census → 2,673 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.
