This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Seville Grove has an estimated 12,990 residents, up from 11,409 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,581 people, or 13.9%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years, faster than 82% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 55.4% of that increase. That puts 2,843 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, the number of residents in Seville Grove stood at approximately 12,990 as of Aug 2026. This figure shows a rise of 1,581 individuals, which represents a 13.9% increase compared to the 2021 Census count of 11,409 people. The estimate is derived from the ABS resident population of 12,981 as of June 2025, plus 15 newly validated addresses recorded after the Census date. With a population density of 2,842 persons per square kilometer, the locality ranks within the top quarter of national areas evaluated by AreaSearch. The 13.9% expansion since the 2021 census surpassed the national average of 9.5%, establishing Seville Grove as a leading growth area in its region.
Overseas migration accounted for roughly 55.4% of the total population increase observed in recent years. AreaSearch implements SA2-level demographic projections published jointly by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, utilising 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for all projections extending beyond 2032, models incorporate age-cohort expansion rates sourced from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, based on 2022 data). Long-term demographic trends point to growth tracking marginally behind the national median for statistical divisions. Based on current annual ERP population numbers, the locality is projected to expand by 1,392 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 10.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
57 new dwellings have been approved in Seville Grove over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 0.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building authorisations in Seville Grove have averaged approximately 11 new homes annually, accumulating to 57 homes across the previous 5 financial years. With an inflow averaging 22.6 new residents per year for each residential dwelling constructed across the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local demand materially outpaces additions to housing stock. This structural imbalance frequently intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on real estate pricing. Concurrently, newly approved dwellings show an average expected construction cost of $236,000, coming in under regional benchmarks and highlighting relatively attainable building expenditure.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals of $1.7 million have been logged in the current financial year, underlining the district's predominantly residential character. When evaluated against the wider Greater Perth metropolitan area, residential building activity in Seville Grove is markedly subdued, registering 91.0% below regional average per person. Such constrained additions to the housing stock tend to reinforce pricing resilience and buyer interest across existing dwellings. Construction volume also trails nationwide levels, pointing to a well-established urban fabric alongside prospective planning constraints. Detached houses accounted for 92.0% of recent construction while attached dwellings made up the remaining 8.0%, preserving the low-density suburban landscape oriented toward purchasers seeking family-sized housing. Indicating a mature property market, the suburb records approximately 1297 people per dwelling approval. Projections indicate that Seville Grove will accommodate an additional 1,383 residents through to 2041, based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Should the pace of residential construction persist at current levels, building completions may fall short of demographic expansion, a dynamic that could intensify buyer competition and underpin future property value appreciation.

Works include a divided carriageway, cycle lanes, footpaths, drainage upgrades, underground power, landscaping, new roundabouts and coordination with the Armadale Road signalised intersection upgrade. Main Roads WA commenced service relocations in mid-2026 ahead of construction, while the City of Armadale continues delivery of the broader road upgrade.
Celsius Living Champion Lakes
A residential land subdivision of 104 lots in the established suburb of Champion Lakes, City of Armadale. Stage 1 (54 lots) was released and completed in 2025. Stage 2 (50 lots) has been fully secured and construction of civil works is underway, with titles anticipated for August 2026. Lots range from 313sqm to 541sqm and are located near the 55-hectare Champion Lakes Regatta Centre.
Champion Centre and Seville Grove Library Redevelopment
Redevelopment of the Champion Centre and upgrades to the adjacent Seville Grove Library to deliver culturally appropriate community facilities, flexible indoor areas, a digital hub and enhanced outdoor spaces connected to surrounding bushland. Works were funded by a Lotterywest grant and City municipal funds, and completed in 2019.
Armadale Strategic Metropolitan Centre Redevelopment
A major urban transformation centered on the METRONET Armadale Line upgrade, featuring an elevated rail line and newly rebuilt Armadale Station which reopened for passenger services in October 2025. Construction is underway on the $14.8 million Central Park project (Karlup Journey Place), creating a vibrant civic heart under the elevated tracks with nature play, water play, and public spaces. The precinct redevelopment supports a projected population of 150,000 by 2046 with integrated mixed-use commercial and residential opportunities.
West of Rail Precinct
Approximately 10.84-hectare triangular area of under-utilised land bound by the Armadale Train Line to the east, Forrest Road and Fifth Road, planned to become an inner-city residential precinct with medium-density housing close to Armadale train station and town centre facilities. The precinct was normalized to City of Armadale planning control on 6 May 2022, with an Activity Centre Plan approved in August 2021 guiding future development. The ongoing METRONET Armadale Line transformation, including elevated rail and new station, will enhance connectivity and support precinct redevelopment.
Piara Waters Residential Development
Piara Waters continues to expand through multiple masterplanned residential estates. Construction remains active at Satterley's Aarya estate, which comprises around 400 homesites, approximately 5.1 hectares of parks and recreation space, and a new primary school planned to open in 2027. Earlier estates including Mirvac's Madox, Cedar Woods' Karmara and QUBE's Mason Green are largely sold out and established, while Stockland continues development within the wider Wildflower community.
Morgan Park Redevelopment
City of Armadale redevelopment of the 6.67 hectare Morgan Park precinct including a new multi-use sports pavilion, public toilets, expanded car parking, upgraded playspace, relocated sports lighting, reconfigured football and athletics facilities, exercise nodes and improved pedestrian connections. Site works are underway following design completion and contractor appointment, with staged construction continuing through 2026.
Sienna Wood
Sienna Wood is a masterplanned residential community in Hilbert and Haynes, WA, delivered by Stockland in partnership with DevelopmentWA. The estate will ultimately house almost 12,000 residents, with almost 40 percent of the land set aside for parks and natural conservation. The Sienna Wood Town Centre, anchored by a cafe, and the Shipwreck Park play space are now open, and the new Wungong Primary School has welcomed students. Construction of house and land packages continues across multiple stages, with land releases ongoing monthly.
6,572 residents of Seville Grove are employed, from a labour force of 7,080. Unemployment sits at 7.2%, with participation at 71.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 10,003, about 77% 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
The local labour market in Seville Grove features a diverse mix across professional and manual vocations, alongside strong participation in manufacturing and industrial sectors. Overall unemployment sits at 7.2%, accompanied by an estimated employment growth of 1.7% over the past year. As of March 2026, employed residents total 6,572, while the jobless rate tracking at 3.0% above Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%. Labour force engagement is in line with broader benchmarks, registering at 71.9% compared to Greater Perth's 69.9%. Census data indicates that only 3.9% of local workers performed their roles from home, though figures may reflect the prevailing conditions during Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary industry sectors employing local residents consist of health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Furthermore, a substantial clustering is evident in transport, postal & warehousing, where resident employment concentration reaches 1.8 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are comparatively underrepresented, making up 3.9% of the local workforce versus the regional average of 8.2%. The comparison between resident workers and local job counts highlights that this largely residential community provides relatively few employment opportunities within its own boundaries. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM records shows that throughout the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 1.7% against a 2.0% expansion in the labour pool, resulting in a 0.3 percentage points rise in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment and workforce numbers expand by 2.0% and 2.5% respectively, with its jobless rate climbing 0.4 percentage points. Long-term workforce trajectories can be gauged from the nationwide employment forecasts issued by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. Applied across local industry profiles over five and ten-year horizons, these figures model prospective shifts in workforce demand. Nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sector-specific trajectories diverge substantially. Weighting these projections against Seville Grove's workforce distribution suggests local job numbers could rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.7% over ten years (note that this extrapolation serves illustrative purposes and excludes local population forecasting).

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,409 at the 2021 Census → 12,990 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.
