WA 6112 Census 2021 + Live DA Data

Seville Grove

At 31, Seville Grove has a median age 9 years below the national figure, yet its 11,408 residents live at a density of 2,627.2 people per sq km across 4.34 sq km. The suburb is shaped by family housing: 94.5% of dwellings are separate houses and 63.4% have 4 or more bedrooms. Overseas-born residents account for 34.2%, which is 12.6 percentage points above the national share. For buyers comparing Seville Grove with Armadale or Kelmscott, the clearest signal is a young, detached-house and mortgage-led profile rather than an apartment market. Household income sits at the 61st percentile, helping explain the mix of established families and younger residents.

Seville Grove suits buyers prioritising space and a conventional family layout, because 94.5% of dwellings are separate houses and 63.4% contain 4 or more bedrooms. A current median house price is not available, so the practical affordability markers are a $1,600 monthly mortgage estimate, $1,739 average household weekly income and mortgage repayments at 21.2% of household income. Mortgage stress is not flagged, while the 60.6% mortgage tenure share is higher than the 15.4% owned-outright share. Rent at $330 a week provides a useful reference point, but comparing recent sales by street and bedroom count matters more than applying a suburb-wide median. Household income at the 61st percentile also places the area above the national midpoint on this measure.

For Buyers

Seville Grove suits buyers prioritising space and a conventional family layout, because 94.5% of dwellings are separate houses and 63.4% contain 4 or more bedrooms. A current median house price is not available, so the practical affordability markers are a $1,600 monthly mortgage estimate, $1,739 average household weekly income and mortgage repayments at 21.2% of household income. Mortgage stress is not flagged, while the 60.6% mortgage tenure share is higher than the 15.4% owned-outright share. Rent at $330 a week provides a useful reference point, but comparing recent sales by street and bedroom count matters more than applying a suburb-wide median. Household income at the 61st percentile also places the area above the national midpoint on this measure.

For Investors

Investor appeal is tied to family rentals rather than compact units. Separate houses account for 94.5% of dwellings, while 23.4% of households rent, a share lower than the 60.6% paying a mortgage. Weekly rent is $330 and vacancy is 5.8%, giving a starting point for assessing tenant demand, though a yield cannot be calculated without a current median sale price. The 1.96% annual growth trend and overseas migration as the primary driver support a longer-term demand case, while development activity recorded 0 over the past 12 months, reducing near-term construction competition. The trade-off is a mortgage-belt market: household income is at the 61st percentile, but unemployment is 6.8%, so investors should stress-test arrears and maintenance assumptions rather than rely on growth alone.

Housing is overwhelmingly detached and family-sized: 94.5% of dwellings are separate houses, 5.5% are semi-detached and 63.4% contain 4 or more bedrooms. Only 15.4% of residents own outright, compared with 60.6% with a mortgage and 23.4% renting, so the suburb sits more firmly in the mortgage belt than in an established downsizer market. Mortgage costs are $1,600 monthly and equal 21.2% of household income, while rent is $330 weekly and 19.0% of income, both recorded without a stress flag. With no current median sale price, price-to-income comparison needs to be done using individual transactions. For buyers comparing Seville Grove with Armadale or Kelmscott, the 94.5% detached share makes bedroom count, lot size and condition more important than apartment availability.

Daily life is strongly car dependent: 85.6% travel as car drivers, compared with 3.1% using public transport, 1.0% walking or cycling and 4.1% working from home.

Seville Grove covers 4.34 sq km at 2,627.2 people per sq km, creating a compact but dense setting. The IRSAD decile of 3 sits below the national midpoint, while volunteering is 12.2% and 4.7% of residents need assistance, useful context for community and support planning.

Established

Growth has momentum but the signals are mixed. The annual trend is 1.96%, and population change across the wider area is 23.8% over 10 years, with overseas migration identified as the primary driver. The shift trajectory is Mixed, while the gentrification score is 27 at the Early signs stage. Another shift measure is scored 15 and labelled Not gentrifying, so the practical reading is gradual change rather than a completed upswing. Affordability is labelled Improving, with measures of 46.3 in 2011 and 42.6 in 2021, while real income growth is -8.8%. The 34.2% overseas-born share gives the migration story a local demographic base, but regional momentum does not guarantee a uniform price outcome across every street.

What is the median house price in Seville Grove?

No current median house price is available for Seville Grove. Buyers can use the $1,600 monthly mortgage figure, $330 weekly rent and 94.5% separate-house share as context, then compare recent sales by street, land size and bedroom count rather than applying a suburb-wide assumption.

What schools are in Seville Grove?

Willandra Primary School is the named government primary school in Seville Grove. Confirm the enrolment zone and available year levels for the exact address, then check nearby options outside the suburb boundary. The average household size is 3.0 people and the suburb has 11,408 residents, so demand can vary by catchment.

Is Seville Grove safe?

A simple safe or unsafe label would be unreliable without a current street-level check. Review recent police information and visit the area at different times, especially around routes and parking. Seville Grove has 11,408 residents and 85.6% car drivers, so road movement and parking are practical factors to assess alongside crime information.

Weekly rent is $330, vacancy is 5.8% and the annual growth trend is 1.96%. However, no current median sale price is available, so gross yield and entry-value comparisons require recent property-level sales.

How to read these comparisons

Phrases like "above the national average" reference the unweighted median across Australian suburbs with more than 1,000 residents, not population-weighted national figures. Suburb-level medians are more useful for ranking suburbs against each other; ABS census headlines are population-weighted (so dominated by Sydney and Melbourne) and can read very differently.

Current baseline (refreshed 2026-05-10): median age 40, university-educated 30.1%, born overseas 21.6%, average household size 2.5 people.

Data sources: ABS 2021 Census (demographics, income, tenure), state education open registers (school locations), state Crime Statistics agencies (offences), council DA portals (development applications). Population forecasts use a Hamilton-Perry cohort model calibrated to ABS ERP.
