Beaumont (SA)

An assessment of population growth drivers in Beaumont reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

As of Nov 2025, Beaumont's population is estimated at around 2,784. This reflects an increase of 53 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,731. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 2,766 in June 2024, based on ABS ERP data and validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 1,773 persons per square kilometer, higher than average national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Over the past decade, Beaumont has shown resilient growth patterns with a compound annual growth rate of 0.9%, outpacing its SA3 area. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Looking ahead, lower quartile growth is anticipated for national statistical areas. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb is expected to increase by 129 persons to 2041, reflecting an overall increase of 4.7% over the 17 years.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Beaumont according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data indicates Beaumont had around 11 new homes approved annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 55 homes. As of FY-26, 4 approvals have been recorded. Between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of 1.4 new residents per year was associated with each dwelling constructed. This suggests a balance between supply and demand, maintaining stable market dynamics.

The average construction value of new properties is $945,000, indicating developers focus on the premium market with high-end developments. In FY-26, there have been $12.4 million in commercial approvals, demonstrating moderate levels of commercial development. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Beaumont has approximately two-thirds the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and ranks among the 66th percentile nationally. Recent construction comprises 69.0% detached houses and 31.0% medium and high-density housing, showing an expanding range of medium-density options across various price brackets.

This is a shift from the current housing mix of 86.0% houses, reflecting reduced development site availability and changing lifestyle demands and affordability requirements. Beaumont has around 214 people per dwelling approval, indicating characteristics of a low density area. Population forecasts suggest Beaumont will gain 130 residents by 2041. Current construction levels should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.
