Sales Detail
Beaumaris (Vic.) has an estimated 14,421 residents, up from 13,947 at the 2021 Census — a change of 474 people, or 3.4%. That puts 2,784 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
Based on evaluations of ABS population modifications for the wider region, alongside new addresses confirmed by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Beaumaris (Vic.) is calculated to have approximately 14,421 residents as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 474 individuals (3.4%) from the 2021 Census, which registered a population of 13,947 individuals. This variation is calculated from a resident population of 14,408, determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the most recent ERP statistics published by the ABS (June 2025) and a further 70 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population size represents a density of 2,784 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch. The 3.4% growth since census recorded in the suburb of Beaumaris (Vic.) is within 2.6 percentage points of the SA3 area (6.0%), showing competitive expansion dynamics. Population expansion in the locality was chiefly generated by overseas migration, which acted as virtually the sole driver of population gains during recent times. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 regions lacking this information, AreaSearch uses the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections published in 2023, with modifications applied using a system of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 scales. Growth rates by age brackets from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic trends, a population rise just below the median of national statistical areas is anticipated, with the suburb of Beaumaris (Vic.) expected to grow by 1,159 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, showing an increase of 8.0% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
294 new dwellings have been approved in Beaumaris (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 58 a year. That is 4.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 58 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 45% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 42, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Based on AreaSearch investigations of ABS building approvals, distributed from statistical area statistics, Beaumaris averages approximately 58 residential properties approved each year, with an estimated 294 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 39 so far in FY-26. With an average of only 0.4 new residents per year coming in per new home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the supply of new housing is matching or exceeding demand, providing buyers with many choices and creating potential for population increases beyond current projections, while new homes carry an average construction cost of $951,000, showing that developers are focusing on the high-end market segment with premium properties.
Furthermore, $17.7 million in commercial approvals have been registered during this financial year, indicating steady commercial building activity. Compared to Greater Melbourne, Beaumaris experiences much lower levels of construction (57.0% below regional average per person). This shortage of new homes generally supports demand and values for existing dwellings. New construction consists of 45.0% standalone houses and 55.0% townhouses or apartments. This shift toward higher-density building offers more affordable entry points and attracts downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear change from current housing stock (which stands at 79.0% houses), indicating a decline in the availability of developable land and reflecting changing lifestyle choices and housing affordability considerations. With approximately 261 people per approval, Beaumaris is characterized as a low density area. Looking forward, the population of Beaumaris is projected to rise by 1,146 residents through to 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on current construction trends, new residential supply should easily accommodate demand, providing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially allowing population growth to exceed current projections.

7,700 residents of Beaumaris (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 7,924. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 65.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,691, 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
Beaumaris is home to a highly qualified labor force, with strong numbers working in professional services, and an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 7,700 residents are employed, which means the unemployment rate is 1.9% below Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, while workforce participation is notably lower (65.1% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). According to Census responses, a substantial 46.7% of residents worked from home, although Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be taken into account. The primary sectors of employment for local workers are professional & technical, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The locality exhibits a strong employment concentration in professional & technical fields, with an employment share 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, transport, postal & warehousing accounts for only 2.5% of local employment, which is below Greater Melbourne's 5.2%. This largely residential locality appears to provide few local employment options, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical regions, over the 12 months to March 2026, labor force levels fell by 0.3% while overall employment declined by 0.9%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 0.6 percentage points. This is different from Greater Melbourne, where employment expanded by 2.1%, the labor force increased by 2.3%, and unemployment grew by 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment projections from May-25 can provide additional perspective on future demand trends in Beaumaris. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been compared to the local employment profile to estimate future growth patterns. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution in Beaumaris suggests that local employment should rise by 6.9% over five years and 13.9% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population projections).

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 — 70 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,947 at the 2021 Census → 14,421 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.
