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, the population of the Beaumont (SA) statistical area (Lv2) is estimated around 2,825, reflecting a 3.4% increase since the 2021 Census which reported 2,731 people. This change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 2,780 residents based on June 2024 ABS ERP data and additional validated new addresses. The population density is estimated at 1,799 persons per square kilometer. Over the past decade, Beaumont (SA) has shown resilient growth with a compound annual growth rate of 0.9%, outpacing its SA3 area. Overseas migration was the primary driver for this growth. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category released in 2023 based on 2021 data for areas not covered or years post-2032.

Future projections indicate a population increase just below the median of national statistical areas, with an expected growth to 3,055 persons by 2041, reflecting a total increase of 3.2% over 17 years.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Beaumont recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, Beaumont has seen around 12 new homes approved per year over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 63 homes between FY-21 and FY-25. So far in FY-26, 7 approvals have been recorded. On average, each dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25 has accommodated around 1.2 new residents per year.

This suggests a balanced supply and demand dynamic, with stable market conditions. The average construction value of new properties during this period was $945,000, indicating a focus on the premium market by developers. In FY-26, commercial approvals have reached $824,000, reflecting Beaumont's residential nature. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Beaumont has approximately three-quarters the rate of new dwelling approvals per person.

Nationally, it ranks in the 76th percentile among assessed areas, though building activity has increased in recent years. Recent construction comprises 67.0% detached houses and 33.0% medium and high-density housing, demonstrating an expansion of medium-density options to cater to various price brackets. This marks a significant shift from the current housing mix, which is predominantly composed of houses (86.0%). With around 159 people per dwelling approval, Beaumont exhibits characteristics of a low-density area. AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate projects Beaumont to add 90 residents by 2041. Given current development patterns, new housing supply should meet demand, providing favourable conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.
