Sales Detail
Bellamack has an estimated 2,699 residents, up from 2,423 at the 2021 Census — a change of 276 people, or 11.4%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years, faster than 75% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 58.0% of that increase. That puts 2,092 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
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside new addresses verified following the Census, the suburb of Bellamack has an estimated population of approximately 2,699 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 2,423 people recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents a net addition of 276 people (11.4%). This figure was established from the 2,699 resident count determined by AreaSearch after reviewing the ABS Estimated Resident Population release from June 2025 together with post-Census address validations. This population level yields a density of 2,092 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical benchmark across nationwide areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the suburb of Bellamack outpaced the 9.5% national expansion rate with its own 11.4% increase since the 2021 census, establishing itself as a regional growth leader. The primary driver behind these population gains was natural increase, which accounted for roughly 57.99999999999999% of total expansion in recent times. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 regions. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, as well as for all post-2032 projections, AreaSearch incorporates age-cohort growth trajectories sourced from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 figures). Aligned with ongoing demographic shifts, the suburb of Bellamack is anticipated to register population gains above the national statistical median, adding 403 persons through to 2041 under consolidated SA2-level modeling, corresponding to an overall 14.9% increase across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
An evaluation of ABS building approval records apportioned from statistical areas indicates that annual residential approvals in Bellamack have tracked at roughly 1 new home, with approximately 6 dwellings sanctioned during the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 11 recorded to date in FY-25. Because an average of 6.5 new residents arrived each year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), local housing demand outstrips newly added volume, typically fostering upward price pressure and heightened competition, while typical construction costs stand at $394,000 per dwelling in alignment with broader regional standards.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have totaled $1.3 million across the current financial year, highlighting an ongoing emphasis on residential building activity. Relative to Greater Darwin, building output in Bellamack is considerably muted, sitting 68.0% below regional levels on a per-capita basis. Such restricted building supply commonly underpins values and demand for established properties, notwithstanding a recent uptick in building approvals. This pace of construction also tracks below nationwide figures, underscoring the mature profile of the locality and pointing toward potential planning constraints. Incoming residential supply is evenly split between 50.0% standalone houses and 50.0% attached dwellings such as townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density building presents reachable price points for first-home purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a noticeable departure from the prevailing housing stock (which currently stands at 72.0% standalone houses), mirroring a scarcity of greenfield parcels while catering to evolving lifestyle preferences and affordability factors. A metric of approximately 407 persons per approved dwelling highlights an established residential sector. Demographic projections indicate that Bellamack will add 403 residents leading up to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should construction persist at current levels, housing additions could fall short of resident inflows, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward valuation momentum.

1,548 residents of Bellamack are employed, from a labour force of 1,567. Unemployment sits at 1.2%, with participation at 78.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,935, about 72% 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
Bellamack possesses a capable labor force with substantial representation across core public and essential industries, maintaining a jobless rate of just 1.2% alongside an estimated 1.2% annual job growth according to AreaSearch's statistical area figures. As of March 2026, 1,548 local residents are employed, and the local unemployment rate sits 2.3% below the 3.5% registered across Greater Darwin, while local labor participation reaches an exceptional 78.2% compared with 72.9% across Greater Darwin. Census records indicate that only 4.6% of workers carried out their duties from home, though pandemic-era restrictions during that period should be noted.
Public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and construction constitute the leading industry sectors employing local workers. Public administration & safety demonstrates exceptional concentration locally, employing workers at 1.5 times the regional proportion. In contrast, health care & social assistance accounts for 11.6% of employed residents, falling below the regional benchmark of 14.2%. Comparing Census working population counts with resident numbers indicates that local employment opportunities within the immediate residential area remain modest. According to AreaSearch's synthesis of ABS and SALM figures from wider statistical territories, the 12 months leading to March 2026 saw local employment rise by 1.2% alongside a 1.1% expansion in the workforce, preserving an exceptionally steady unemployment level. In contrast, Greater Darwin experienced employment growth of 0.4%, labor force growth of 0.8%, and a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. Looking ahead, national labor market forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide an indication of potential workforce demand in Bellamack over five- and ten-year horizons when aligned with local employment composition. Across the country, employment is expected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with wide variation across sectors. Applying these sectoral projections across Bellamack's worker distribution indicates prospective local employment growth of 6.0% over five years and 12.5% over ten years (representing a weighted baseline calculation for comparative context without factoring in localized population shifts).

The median resident of Bellamack is 30, younger than 98% of areas nationally. That is 1 year older than at the 2021 Census. 33.2% of residents are aged 15 to 34. Age cohorts are not raw Census counts: the Census split is re-based to the latest ABS population estimates and state projections.
Detail
The age distribution in Bellamack is heavily skewed toward younger cohorts. AreaSearch's August 2026 modeling shows children and young adults (0 - 24) make up 39.3% of residents, compared with 32.1% in Greater Darwin, while mature adults and early retirees (45 - 64) represent 18.1% against a regional share of 22.3%.

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,423 at the 2021 Census → 2,699 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.
