Beverley

Beverley lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Beverley's population was approximately 10,009 as of November 2025. This figure reflects a growth of 1,112 people, representing a 12.5% increase since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 8,897. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 9,652 as of June 2024 and an additional 141 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 2,377 persons per square kilometer, placing Beverley in the upper quartile compared to other locations assessed by AreaSearch. Beverley's growth rate exceeded both the state average (8.7%) and Greater Adelaide during this period. Overseas migration contributed approximately 55.6% of overall population gains recently, although all factors including natural growth and interstate migration were positive contributors.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections are adopted with adjustments made using weighted aggregation methods from LGA to SA2 levels. Based on projected demographic shifts, Beverley is expected to grow by 2,150 persons to 2041, reflecting a total gain of 17.9% over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Beverley among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

Beverley recorded approximately 94 residential properties granted approval annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25471 homes were approved, with a further 79 approved in FY-26 as of now. Each dwelling accommodated an average of 2.4 new residents per year over these five years, reflecting strong demand that supports property values.

The average construction cost value of new homes was $210,000, which is below regional norms, indicating more affordable housing options for purchasers. This financial year has seen $328.0 million in commercial approvals, demonstrating robust commercial development momentum. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Beverley exhibits moderately higher development activity, with 22.0% above the regional average per person over the five-year period. This maintains good buyer choice while supporting existing property values.

New development comprises 56.0% standalone homes and 44.0% attached dwellings, offering a range of housing types from spacious family homes to more compact options. This shift indicates decreasing availability of developable sites and reflects changing lifestyles and the need for diverse, affordable housing options. Beverley's population growth is expected to add 1,793 residents by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing favourable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
