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

Based on ABS population updates and AreaSearch validations, as of November 2025, Stoneville's estimated population is around 2643. This shows an increase of 154 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2489. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 2594 residents in June 2024, along with two validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 143 persons per square kilometer. Population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration contributing approximately 41% during recent periods.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023 based on 2022 data for areas not covered by the first set. Considering these projections, an above median population growth is expected, with Stoneville projected to increase by 348 persons to 2041, reflecting a gain of 13.1% 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 twelve homes. In the current financial year FY-26, three approvals have been recorded to date. On average, 12.3 new residents are associated with each home built in Stoneville between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating a significant demand outpacing supply.

The average construction value of new homes is $629,000, suggesting developers focus on the premium market with high-end developments. Compared to Greater Perth, Stoneville has significantly less development activity, being 80.0% below the regional average per person. This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established homes. However, construction activity has intensified recently. The estimated population count of 584 people in the area per dwelling approval reflects its quiet, low activity development environment.

Population forecasts indicate Stoneville will gain 345 residents by 2041. If current construction levels persist, housing supply may lag population growth, potentially intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.

National employment forecasts from May-25 project growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years.
