Sales Detail
Beechworth has an estimated 4,222 residents, down from 4,274 at the 2021 Census — a change of 52 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
Based on evaluation of ABS demographic statistics for the surrounding region, alongside fresh addresses verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Beechworth has a population projected to be close to 4,222 in May 2026. This represents a reduction of 52 individuals (1.2%) from the 2021 Census, which counted a population of 4,274 individuals. The adjustment is calculated from a resident population of 4,220, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP data from the ABS (June 2025) plus 53 verified new addresses added since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density of 26 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a large amount of personal space. Inward population movement was mostly supported by international migration, which represented virtually the only source of growth in recent times. AreaSearch employs projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For SA2 zones not covered by these projections, AreaSearch uses Regional and LGA projections from the VIC State Government released in 2023, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age group derived from these aggregations are applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Factoring in these expected shifts, population growth is projected to exceed the median for national regional areas, with the suburb of Beechworth expected to add 848 persons by 2041 based on compiled SA2-level projections, which is an increase of 20.0% overall across the 16 years.

Thus far in FY-26, 18 approvals have been registered. With an average addition of only 0.3 new residents per year for each built home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new housing is keeping pace with or outpacing demand, ensuring a wide selection for buyers and creating room for growth beyond current estimates, with new properties being built at an average value of $590,000, which reflects a focus by developers on premium, high-end housing.
In addition, commercial approvals have reached $5.0 million this financial year, showing that the area is mostly residential. Relative to the Rest of Vic., the suburb of Beechworth recording roughly 75% of the volume of construction per person, ranking in the 65th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide.

2,035 residents of Beechworth are employed, from a labour force of 2,092. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 58.8%. 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 3,677, 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
The workforce in the suburb of Beechworth is highly educated, featuring a strong representation of essential services, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.7%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 2,035 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.0% below the 3.7% rate of Regional Vic., while participation in the workforce is slightly low (58.8% in comparison to 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census responses indicate a moderate 21.7% of residents worked from home, although the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns must be taken into account.
Employment among the resident population is heavily weighted toward health care & social assistance, education & training, and public administration & safety. The local workforce is particularly concentrated in public administration & safety, with employment levels reaching 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing has a small footprint, employing 4.3% of the workforce compared to 7.5% across the region. Local job opportunities appear to be limited, as shown by the comparison between the Census working population and the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader geographic areas, the labour force shrank by 2.1% during the year ending March 2026, while employment dropped by 2.3%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. This is in contrast to Regional Vic., where employment fell by 0.1%, the workforce decreased by 0.3%, and unemployment fell by 0.2 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in the suburb of Beechworth. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been compared against the local industry profile to estimate future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment in the suburb of Beechworth should grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for specific local population growth 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 — 53 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,274 at the 2021 Census → 4,222 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.
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.
