This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Beaumont (SA) has an estimated 2,760 residents, up from 2,731 at the 2021 Census — a change of 29 people, or 1.1%. That puts 1,758 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
In the suburb of Beaumont (SA), the local population is estimated to stand at approximately 2,760 in May 2026. This calculation, drawn from ABS regional updates and post-Census address validation by AreaSearch, represents a gain of 29 residents, or 1.1%, compared to the 2,731 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This growth is calculated from a base resident population of 2,753, which AreaSearch modeled from the June 2025 ABS ERP figures, combined with 25 validated new addresses added since the Census. Based on these numbers, the suburb of Beaumont (SA) has a population density of 1,758 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the national average across locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
Recent growth in the suburb of Beaumont (SA) was almost exclusively powered by incoming overseas migration. Projections for the suburb of Beaumont (SA) utilize the 2024 ABS and Geoscience Australia projections built from a 2022 base year. For locations lacking this coverage, or for periods extending beyond 2032, calculations rely on the 2023 state government projections by age brackets (derived from 2021 data), which are aggregated from LGA to SA2 levels using growth-weighted mapping. Future population growth in the suburb of Beaumont (SA) is projected to fall slightly below the national median, with aggregated projections indicating an increase of 126 residents by 2041, representing a total growth rate of 4.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
61 new dwellings have been approved in Beaumont (SA) over the past five years, an average of 12 a year. That is 4.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 7, 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
An evaluation of building approvals indicates Beaumont averages approximately 12 residential consents annually, summing to an estimated 61 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current financial year of FY-26, 7 approvals have been issued so far. Given that only 0.2 new residents have arrived per approved home during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, residential construction is keeping pace with or exceeding local demand, expanding buyer choice and potentially supporting population growth above baseline forecasts. The average value of these approved new homes stands at $945,000, pointing to a developer focus on high-end, premium builds.
Furthermore, commercial approvals total $824,000 for this financial year, confirming that development remains heavily residential. Beaumont's per-capita residential construction is roughly 75% of the rate seen across Greater Adelaide, placing it in the 75th percentile of all national locations, even with a recent uptick in building activity. Looking at the composition of these builds, standalone houses make up 77.0% of approvals and attached designs account for 23.0%, reinforcing a classic suburban layout designed for families. Reflecting a low-density character, the area averages approximately 167 residents for every approved dwelling. Long-term forecasts suggest Beaumont will add 119 new residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current building trends suggest that housing supply is well-positioned to satisfy this demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for population increases that exceed current forecasts.

1,544 residents of Beaumont (SA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,558. Unemployment sits at 0.9%, with participation at 66.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,077, about 75% 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
The local workforce is characterized by high levels of education and strong representation in professional services, alongside an unemployment rate of only 0.9% and a 4.6% expansion in local jobs over the prior year. Active workers numbered 1,544 in March 2026, with the unemployment rate sitting 2.9% below the 3.8% recorded in Greater Adelaide. Participation matches the metropolitan average of 66.6%. The Census recorded that 18.8% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure reflects the influence of pandemic lockdowns. The primary sectors employing local residents are healthcare & social assistance, professional & technical roles, and education & training.
The local workforce is heavily concentrated in professional & technical services, with a share that is 1.9 times the metropolitan baseline. In contrast, construction jobs are underrepresented, accounting for 5.0% of local employment compared to 8.7% across the region. Comparisons between the census working population and resident worker counts indicate that this highly residential suburb offers few local jobs. According to an AreaSearch evaluation of SALM and ABS figures compiled from larger statistical regions, the twelve month period ending March 2026 witnessed a 4.6% rise in employment alongside a 4.4% increase in the labour force, which resulted in the unemployment rate dropping by 0.2 percentage points. This trend differs from what occurred in Greater Adelaide, where employment grew by 4.2%, the labour force expanded by 4.0%, and unemployment decreased by 0.2 percentage points. For additional context regarding future job demand in Beaumont, one may consult the national employment forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These forecasts span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid onto the local employment structure to project growth trajectories. Although the national outlook anticipates a 6.6% expansion over five years and a 13.7% expansion over ten years, sectoral growth varies considerably. When these sectoral estimates are applied to Beaumont's current employment composition, the area is projected to see employment rise by 7.3% over five years and 15.0% over ten years. It should be noted that this calculation represents a basic weighting extrapolation intended for illustrative 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 — 25 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,731 at the 2021 Census → 2,760 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.
