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 Bellevue Heights

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Bellevue Heights has an estimated 8,661 residents, up from 7,608 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,053 people, or 13.8%. Growth has averaged 2.2% a year over five years, faster than 82% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 993 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 demographic findings from AreaSearch, the resident count in Bellevue Heights stands at roughly 8,661 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 2021 Census total of 7,608 people, this represents an expansion of 1,053 people (13.8%). These figures are calculated using the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population benchmark of 8,661 alongside 19 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. The suburb's density sits at 993 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the SA3 area (5.6%) and the wider SA4 region, Bellevue Heights's 13.8% surge cements its standing as a localized growth frontrunner.

Net overseas migration served as the principal catalyst for these demographic additions, accounting for virtually all recent expansion. Projections for SA2 districts utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For locations outside this coverage or extending beyond 2032, models incorporate the SA State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA age-cohort releases (based on 2021 benchmarks), adjusted via a weighted aggregation approach from LGA to SA2 geographies. Future demographic trajectories point to growth tracking marginally beneath the national statistical area median, adding an anticipated 563 persons to 2041 under prevailing annual ERP baselines—a cumulative rise of 6.5% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Bellevue Heights

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

99 new dwellings have been approved in Bellevue Heights over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That places the area in the 61st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 65% 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

Residential building approvals in Bellevue Heights have averaged approximately 19 new dwellings annually, accumulating to 99 homes over the past 5 financial years. With an inflow rate of 8.8 new residents per year per finished residence across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), housing demand materially eclipses new supply, applying upward pressure on home values and tightening competition for listings. Newly planned homes reflect an average construction cost of $467,000, moderately higher than regional figures and underscoring a commitment to superior build quality. Concurrently, non-residential activity remains robust, evidenced by $108.3 million in approved commercial projects this financial year.

Per capita building activity in Bellevue Heights sits at around 75% of Greater Adelaide volumes, placing the area in the 42nd percentile nationally. While this points to tighter listing availability and heightened buyer interest in existing stock, local building works have accelerated lately. The subdued output compared to national figures illustrates an established urban landscape with potential land constraints. Recent building approvals divide into 65.0% standalone homes and 35.0% attached dwellings, introducing a broader spectrum of medium-density formats that span conventional family houses to cost-effective compact homes. This represents a noticeable shift from the existing built environment (which comprises 87.0% houses), driven by site limitations alongside evolving buyer preferences and price sensitivities. An average of approximately 342 people per approval further reflects an established, mature housing market. Over the period to 2041, forecasts indicate Bellevue Heights will gain 563 residents based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Residential delivery is tracking in reasonable alignment with anticipated population increases, though incoming purchasers may encounter elevated competition as community numbers rise.

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 — 19 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,608 at the 2021 Census → 8,661 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 (403031066). 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 Bellevue Heights 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 Bellevue Heights 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 Bellevue Heights 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
