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
Narwee - Beverly Hills has an estimated 14,051 residents, up from 13,791 at the 2021 Census — a change of 260 people, or 1.9%. That puts 4,145 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 count in Narwee - Beverly Hills reaches approximately 14,051 as of Aug 2026. This indicates an addition of 260 people (1.9%) compared with the 13,791 people counted in the 2021 Census. Such movement is determined using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 14,022 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 74 validated new addresses established post-Census. Consequently, the local density stands at 4,144 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb within the upper 10% among nationwide territories reviewed by AreaSearch and underlining the high demand for residential ground.
Incoming overseas migration served as the primary contributor to demographic expansion, accounting for around 94.9% of total recent gains. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are implemented by AreaSearch for each individual SA2 territory. Wherever coverage is missing, SA2-level figures issued by the NSW State Government in 2022 (anchored to 2021) are substituted. Furthermore, age-specific growth trajectories across these datasets are mapped onto all territories for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Anticipated demographic changes suggest local expansion will track marginally below the national SA2 median, with the community projected to gain 973 persons through to 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures, amounting to an overall rise of 6.7% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
241 new dwellings have been approved in Narwee - Beverly Hills over the past five years, an average of 48 a year. That is 3.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% 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
Annual residential approvals within Narwee - Beverly Hills have averaged roughly 48 dwellings, accumulating to 241 homes during the preceding 5 financial years. Because local resident counts declined throughout the prior interval, dwelling additions have comfortably accommodated demand, fostering balanced market conditions and ample options for purchasers, with newly built units averaging an expected construction cost of $485,000. In addition, $1.9 million in commercial approvals was registered during this financial year, reinforcing the predominantly domestic character of the locality. On a per-capita basis, building activity in Narwee - Beverly Hills aligns closely with Greater Sydney, sustaining steady balance parallel to the wider metropolitan setting.
This pace sits lower than the broader Australian standard, reflecting local established status and probable zoning limitations. The intake of fresh supply is divided between 45.0% detached dwellings and 55.0% medium and high-density housing. An emphasis on compact formats supports affordable entry and appeals to purchasers downsizing, investing, or entering the market for the first time. The ratio of roughly 337 people per dwelling approval demonstrates a mature neighborhood profile. Moving forward from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Narwee - Beverly Hills is projected to add 944 residents by 2041. At ongoing delivery rates, residential supply appears well placed to satisfy demographic requirements, supporting favorable market conditions for purchasers and potentially accommodating population gains above current expectations.

Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, engaging 9.6% of Narwee - Beverly Hills workers relative to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. The area remains heavily residential with modest internal job provision, as seen when comparing Census workplace figures to resident headcount. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures shows that over a 12-month period, local employment expanded by 2.8% while the labor pool grew by 3.5%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded identical 1.9% gains in both employment and labor force, accompanied by a slight decline in unemployment. Additional guidance on future labor demand is provided by national forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. Projecting these five-year and ten-year nationwide benchmarks across local industry compositions provides indicative growth estimates. Nationally, job volume is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge widely across individual sectors. Applying this sector weighting indicates Narwee - Beverly Hills employment could rise by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this is an illustrative extrapolation based on industry shares and does not incorporate localized demographic 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 — 74 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,791 at the 2021 Census → 14,051 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.
