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.

Bellevue Hill has an estimated 15,180 residents, up from 14,429 at the 2021 Census — a change of 751 people, or 5.2%. 132 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 90.2% of that increase. That puts 4,804 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident population of Bellevue Hill stands at approximately 15,180 as of Aug 2026. This figure represents an addition of 751 people (5.2%) compared to the 14,429 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such demographic movement is deduced using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 15,094 combined with 132 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, population density reaches 4,803 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the upper 10% of all territories evaluated across the country by AreaSearch and highlighting intense demand for local real estate.
With a 5.2% expansion rate post-census, Bellevue Hill trails the broader SA3 area (5.6%) by only 0.4 percentage points, highlighting solid demographic momentum. The primary catalyst for local demographic expansion has been international migration, which generated around 90.2% of recent net population additions. AreaSearch incorporates SA2 projections published jointly in 2024 by Geoscience Australia and the ABS, using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 data is unavailable, projections released by the NSW State Government in 2022 (using a 2021 base year) are implemented. Furthermore, cohort-specific growth rates derived from these datasets are projected across all locations between 2032 and 2041. Looking forward, long-term demographic expansion is anticipated to track slightly beneath the nationwide statistical area median, with the locality projected to add 1,068 persons by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP statistics, amounting to an overall increase of 6.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
364 new dwellings have been approved in Bellevue Hill over the past five years, an average of 72 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 71 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 24% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential construction approvals in Bellevue Hill have averaged approximately 72 dwellings per year, culminating in 364 homes. With an average of merely 0.1 new residents added per year per completed residence across the last 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26), newly constructed supply is matching or surpassing demand levels, granting prospective buyers substantial selection while establishing capacity for population gains beyond current expectations; simultaneously, typical construction costs for new dwellings average $1,782,000, underscoring a strong builder focus on high-end, luxury developments. On an individual basis, construction activity in Bellevue Hill exceeds Greater Sydney by 59.0%, ensuring extensive choices for prospective buyers.
The incoming dwelling stock is partitioned between 24.0% detached houses and 76.0% medium to high-density formats. This concentration of higher-density dwellings creates accessible entry points while drawing interest from downsizers, first-time homeowners, and property investors. Furthermore, with approximately 206 people per dwelling approval, the precinct displays characteristics of a low density market. Projections indicate that Bellevue Hill will expand by 982 residents by 2041 (benchmarked against the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch). Provided current building rates persist, residential supply should comfortably satisfy future requirements, establishing advantageous circumstances for purchasers and potentially facilitating growth above current projections.

9,146 residents of Bellevue Hill are employed, from a labour force of 9,336. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 71.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,311, about 81% 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 pool in Bellevue Hill is exceptionally well educated, displaying strong concentration in the technology sector, an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, and an annual employment rise estimated at 2.0%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 9,146, while the jobless rate sat 2.1% lower than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, alongside a standard labor force participation rate (71.5% versus 68.9% across Greater Sydney). Furthermore, Census returns showed that 60.6% of workers carried out their duties from home, though this metric was likely influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. The foremost sectors employing local residents consist of professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, alongside finance & insurance.
Specialisation is notably pronounced within professional & technical roles, where the local concentration is 1.7 times the broader metropolitan baseline. In contrast, the construction sector is relatively small, engaging only 5.0% of workers in Bellevue Hill compared with 8.6% across Greater Sydney. Given the disparity between resident workers and local employment positions identified in Census counts, this predominantly residential neighborhood generates comparatively limited on-site employment opportunities. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures reveals that the 12-month period experienced a 2.0% rise in employed persons alongside an identical 2.0% expansion in the total workforce, keeping the jobless rate virtually unchanged. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% increase in both employment and the overall labor pool, resulting in a slight decline in unemployment. Additional guidance regarding forthcoming workforce requirements in Bellevue Hill is provided by the Mar-26 national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce composition to evaluate future trends. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with wide variance across specific industries. Mapping these sector projections onto the industry profile of Bellevue Hill indicates local employment could expand by 7.7% over five years and 15.2% over ten years (note that this represents an illustrative weighting extrapolation and does not incorporate localized population forecasts).

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 — 132 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,429 at the 2021 Census → 15,180 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (118011649). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
