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 AreaSearch's analysis, Seville Grove's population is around 12,725 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,316 people (11.5%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 11,409 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 12,722 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 14 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 2,784 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 area was primarily driven by natural growth, which contributed approximately 54.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and to estimate growth across all areas in the years post-2032, AreaSearch is utilising the growth rates by age cohort provided by the ABS in its latest Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data). Regarding demographic trends, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is expected, with the area expected to expand by 1,583 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, 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

Seville Grove has recorded around 14 residential properties granted approval each year, totalling 72 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 6 approvals have been recorded. With an average of 17.9 people per year moving to the area for each dwelling built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand significantly exceeds new supply, which usually results in price growth and increased buyer competition, while new properties are constructed at an average value of $161,000—below the regional average—suggesting more affordable housing options for buyers. There have also been $1.7 million in commercial approvals this financial year, indicating minimal commercial development activity.

Compared to Greater Perth, Seville Grove shows substantially reduced construction (89.0% below regional average per person). This limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established properties. This activity is similarly under the national average, indicating the area's established nature and suggesting potential planning limitations. New development consists of 90.0% detached houses and 10.0% attached dwellings, sustaining the area's suburban identity with a concentration of family homes suited to buyers seeking space. The location has approximately 1269 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market.

Population forecasts indicate Seville Grove will gain 1,580 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Should current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.

Employment performance in Seville Grove has been below expectations when compared to most other areas nationally

Seville Grove features a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, an unemployment rate of 7.4%, and 1.5% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of December 2025, 6,502 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 3.3% above Greater Perth's rate of 4.1%, showing room for improvement, and workforce participation is broadly similar to Greater Perth's 71.9%. Based on Census responses, a low 3.9% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.

The key industries of employment among residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The area shows particularly strong specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, with an employment share of 1.8 times the regional level. In contrast, professional & technical services employ just 3.9% of local workers, below Greater Perth's 8.2%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population.

Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, during the year to December 2025, employment levels increased by 1.5% and the labour force increased by 1.9%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.4 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Perth, where employment rose by 2.3%, the labour force grew by 2.6%, and unemployment rose 0.3 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Seville Grove. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Seville Grove's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 5.9% over five years and 12.7% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).
