Sales Detail
Bellevue Heights has an estimated 3,091 residents, up from 2,712 at the 2021 Census — a change of 379 people, or 14.0%. Growth has averaged 2.2% a year over five years, faster than 82% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 1,222 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 assessments of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, combined with address validations performed by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Bellevue Heights has an estimated residency of 3,091 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 379 people (14.0%) compared to the 2,712 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is derived from the resident count of 3,091, calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS demographic release from June 2025 alongside ongoing address verification post-Census. With this population level, the density stands at 1,221 persons per square kilometer, outperforming the standard figures across typical Australian locations reviewed by AreaSearch.
The expansion rate of 14.0% since the 2021 census paced ahead of both the broader SA3 area (5.6%) and the SA4 region, positioning the suburb of Bellevue Heights as a local frontrunner in growth. This upward demographic trend was almost exclusively fueled by net overseas migration, which served as the sole contributor to population expansion in recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized for each SA2 locality. Where these datasets are unavailable, or for periods extending past 2032, projections by age from the SA State Government's 2023 release (incorporating 2021 base statistics) are applied, utilizing weighted averages of growth moving from LGA to SA2 divisions. Looking at these anticipated demographic movements, the suburb of Bellevue Heights is projected to experience growth slightly trailing the national median for statistical regions, with an expected increase of 228 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2 projections, representing a 7.4% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Based on analysis of ABS building approvals allocated down from broader statistical boundaries, the suburb of Bellevue Heights has maintained an average of approximately 1 residential approval per year, amounting to a total of 8 dwellings over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 7 approvals have been logged. Given that 39.4 new occupants have been added annually for each completed residence over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand remains well ahead of supply, which commonly escalates purchasing competition and lifts pricing, while the average estimated building value of these new projects sits at $536,000, pointing to a focus on higher-end, premium developments.
Relative to Greater Adelaide, the suburb of Bellevue Heights exhibits minimal residential construction, tracking 85.0% below the metropolitan average on a per-capita basis. Such limited development typically bolsters demand and supports the valuation of established housing, despite an uptick in building momentum lately. This level of building remains below the national standard, reflecting the fully developed nature of the locality and hinting at potential zoning or regulatory limits. Recent construction approvals comprise 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% multi-unit dwellings. This balanced mix introduces entry-level opportunities and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a shift from the existing housing stock which stands at 86.0% houses, indicating a reduction in available vacant land and a pivot toward modern lifestyle choices and budget considerations. Recording approximately 761 residents for every single residential approval, the suburb of Bellevue Heights exhibits a highly established real estate landscape. Long-term forecasts suggest the suburb of Bellevue Heights will gain 228 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Under current building trends, the pace of residential development may struggle to keep up with demographic growth, which could intensify competition among buyers and underpin future price appreciation.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 suburb of Bellevue Heights possesses a highly qualified labor force with solid representation in public service sectors, an unemployment rate sitting at 1.2%, and an estimated job growth rate of 5.4% over the prior year, according to aggregated statistical district metrics. In March 2026, working residents numbered 1,535, while the jobless rate was 2.7% lower than the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide. However, labor force participation is comparatively low, registering at 58.3% versus 66.6% in Greater Adelaide. Census records show a moderate 16.0% of the working population performed their duties from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related movement restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical. The locality demonstrates a strong concentration in education & training, employing people at a rate 1.5 times that of the wider metropolitan region. Conversely, industrial manufacturing is less prominent, employing only 4.6% of the workforce in the suburb of Bellevue Heights compared to 7.0% across Greater Adelaide. The heavily residential character of the neighborhood means local employment opportunities are relatively scarce, as highlighted by comparing the local workplace census count against resident worker numbers. Based on aggregated SALM and ABS statistics for the wider region, the 12-month timeframe saw a 5.4% increase in total employment alongside a 5.2% expansion of the labor force, which led to a 0.1 percentage point reduction in the unemployment rate. Over the same span, Greater Adelaide registered employment growth of 4.2% and labor force growth of 4.0%, with a corresponding drop of 0.2 percentage points. National forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective employment trends for the suburb of Bellevue Heights. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry breakdown to estimate future trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth dynamics vary widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local workforce composition suggests that employment for the suburb of Bellevue Heights could rise by 7.1% over five years and 14.7% over ten years, noting this is a simple weighted projection that does not factor in local demographic variations.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,712 at the 2021 Census → 3,091 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.
