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 Nov 2025. 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 level of population 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 (8.9%), marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area 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, 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). Moving forward with 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 population numbers, with 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 approximately 14 residential properties granted approval each year over the past five financial years, totalling 72 homes. In FY-26 so far, 4 approvals have been recorded. On average, 17.9 people per year moved to the area for each dwelling built between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating significant demand exceeding new supply. New properties were constructed at an average expected cost of $161,000, below the regional average, suggesting more affordable housing options.

This financial year has seen $1.7 million in commercial approvals, indicating minimal commercial development activity compared to Greater Perth, where construction is 89.0% higher per person. The area's limited new supply generally supports stronger demand and values for established properties. 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. Seville Grove has approximately 1269 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. Population forecasts indicate the area will gain 1,580 residents by 2041.

If current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
