Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Belrose

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Belrose has an estimated 8,738 residents, up from 8,652 at the 2021 Census — a change of 86 people, or 1.0%. 127 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 650 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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Belrose is estimated to be approximately 8,738 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 86 individuals (1.0%) since the 2021 Census, when the population was recorded at 8,652 people. This demographic shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 8,738 from June 2025 and 127 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 650 persons per square kilometer, which translates to a low-density profile with potential space for future residential projects.

The 1.0% growth rate of Belrose since the census is 2.7 percentage points lower than the 3.7% rate observed across the wider SA3 area, showing a steady expansion. The primary driver of this demographic change was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 61.9% of the population gains during the recent period. AreaSearch utilizes the projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 serving as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions where this data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied instead. The age cohort growth rates from these datasets are projected forward to cover the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic models, the area is anticipated to align with the lower quartile growth of Australian statistical areas, with a projected expansion of 194 persons by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP figures, representing a cumulative increase of 2.2% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Belrose

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

96 new dwellings have been approved in Belrose over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Belrose has recorded an average of approximately 19 new dwelling approvals annually, resulting in a total of 96 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 5 approvals have been registered. Because the locality has seen population decline, this new supply has likely matched demand, providing options for purchasers, with new residential projects carrying an average building cost of $661,000, which suggests developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium market. Additionally, commercial approvals worth $4.6 million have been documented this financial year, reflecting a modest focus on commercial construction.

In comparison to Greater Sydney, the rate of new dwelling approvals per capita in Belrose is about three-quarters, placing it in the 14th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which limits options for buyers while bolstering demand for existing housing. This lower rate relative to the national average points to market maturity and potential planning limitations. Recent building activity consists of 37.0% detached houses and 63.0% townhouses or apartments. This emphasis on medium and high-density structures provides more accessible price points for buyers and caters to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major departure from the established housing stock (which is currently 79.0% houses), driven by a scarcity of development sites and changing choices around lifestyle and affordability. The ratio of 1216 people for each dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-scale nature of local construction activity. Looking forward, the population of Belrose is projected to rise by 194 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the incoming supply of housing is expected to satisfy demand easily, supporting favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population growth to exceed current forecasts.

Are there opportunities for residential developers in the Belrose SA2?
With dwelling approval activity running at an average of 19 approvals per year and a population of 8,738, the market appears to be adequately supplied relative to projected housing demand in recent years, suggesting that developers should have a longer-term approach when considering new projects.

The working-day population is estimated at 9,633, about 110% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

This trend differed from Greater Sydney, which experienced a 1.9% increase in employment, a 1.9% rise in the labor force, and a slight reduction in unemployment. Additional insight into future employment demand within Belrose can be gathered from the national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25.

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 — 127 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,652 at the 2021 Census → 8,738 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 May 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 (122031692). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Belrose SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Belrose page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Belrose data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
