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.

Sales Detail
Beechworth has an estimated 4,223 residents, down from 4,274 at the 2021 Census — a change of 51 people, or 1.2%. Density is about 27 people per 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census validated address counts, the suburb of Beechworth reaches an estimated resident count of approximately 4,223 by Aug 2026. This indicates a contraction of 51 people (1.2%) compared to the 4,274 persons recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement is determined from a base resident figure of 4,221 derived from the ABS ERP publication from June 2025 together with 60 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Consequently, settlement density stands at 26 persons per square kilometer, providing generous space for residents.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary contributor to demographic expansion, effectively representing the single source of population increases in recent times. Projections for SA2 districts established by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024 using 2022 baseline figures are incorporated by AreaSearch. Where SA2 coverage is absent, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts are implemented through a population-growth weighted aggregation process down to SA2 zones, extending age-cohort expansion rates across all sectors for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, demographic growth is slated to outpace median benchmarks for regional non-metropolitan Australia, with the suburb of Beechworth projected to expand by 829 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 modelling, delivering an aggregate rise of 19.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
118 new dwellings have been approved in Beechworth over the past five years, an average of 23 a year. That is 4.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 26, broadly in line with 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
Statistical evaluations of ABS building consent records by AreaSearch indicate that Beechworth has registered roughly 23 residential dwelling approvals annually, totalling an estimated 118 homes approved throughout the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 26 recorded to date in FY-25. Because population growth added only an average of 0.3 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction volume is matching or outstripping demographic requirements, providing prospective buyers with extensive options and establishing surplus capacity beyond existing population outlooks.
Furthermore, the average expected construction cost for newly built properties stands at $816,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on luxury and high-end residential stock, while $5.0 million in commercial building approvals during the current financial year reinforces the predominantly residential character of the district. On a per-capita scale, construction volume in Beechworth sits 19.0% beneath the Rest of Vic. average, yet the location ranks in the 73rd percentile across all assessed markets nationally following an uptick in building momentum in recent periods. Detached private dwellings comprise 95.0% of upcoming stock alongside 5.0% classified as medium or high density, maintaining the spacious nature of the locality with standalone properties appealing directly to buyers pursuing extra room. A metric of roughly 159 people per dwelling approval further highlights the low-density environment defining Beechworth. Demographic projections indicate that Beechworth will add 827 residents through to 2041 relative to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update. While ongoing residential construction currently matches these expansion estimates, prospective property purchasers may face growing market competition as the community expands.

The project is situated adjacent to the House Creek parklands corridor.
2,035 residents of Beechworth are employed, from a labour force of 2,092. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 58.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,678, about 87% 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
Beechworth features a highly qualified labour pool with strong representation in core service industries and an exceptionally low unemployment level of 2.8%, according to aggregated district figures from AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed locals numbered 2,035, while the jobless rate tracked 0.9% lower than the 3.7% recorded across Regional Vic., alongside a lower labour force participation rate of 58.7% compared to 61.1% regionally. Census returns revealed that 21.7% of workers conducted their duties from home, an outcome subject to the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. Local workforce engagement is heavily concentrated within health care & social assistance, education & training, as well as public administration & safety.
Specialisation is especially prominent in public administration & safety, where the workforce concentration is 1.7 times that of the regional territory. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for a smaller footprint of 4.3% relative to the 7.5% regional benchmark. Comparing Census resident counts against local workplace positions points to a relatively constrained volume of jobs located within the immediate boundary. AreaSearch assessment of SALM and ABS statistical outputs reveals that in the year to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 2.0% as total employment dropped 2.1%, yielding a 0.2 percentage points increase in the jobless rate. In comparison, Regional Vic. experienced an employment decline of 0.1%, a 0.3% shrinkage in its labour force, and a 0.2 percentage points reduction in unemployment. Looking at prospective employment requirements, Jobs and Skills Australia's national projections from Mar-26 provide broader perspective when mapped against Beechworth's industrial profile over five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, job numbers are projected to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, albeit with wide variations across specific sectors. Applying these industry trajectories to the local occupational framework indicates that Beechworth's employment would rise by 6.4% across five years and 13.7% across ten years (a weighted illustrative extrapolation that excludes localised population forecasts).

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 — 60 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,274 at the 2021 Census → 4,223 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 Aug 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL20186). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
