Detail

According to AreaSearch evaluations of updated ABS regional data and validated new post-Census addresses, the suburb of Bellevue Heights has an estimated population of approximately 3,090 as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 2021 Census tally of 2,712 people, this represents an addition of 378 people (13.9%).

This resident count produces a density of 1,221 persons per square kilometer, exceeding AreaSearch's national assessment benchmark. Expanding by 13.9% since the 2021 census, the suburb of Bellevue Heights outperformed both the broader SA4 territory and the SA3 area (5.6%), establishing itself as a regional growth standout.

Inbound overseas migration served as the principal driver of this expansion, accounting for virtually all recent local population additions. For individual SA2 locations, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 using 2022 as a base. For unlisted SA2s and timeframes beyond 2032, population estimates by age group from the SA State Government's 2023 release (anchored to 2021 data) are integrated using weighted growth aggregation from LGA down to SA2 zones. Based on these demographic models, the suburb of Bellevue Heights is projected to track marginally below the national median rate, expanding by 247 persons to 2041 under consolidated SA2 figures, which translates to an overall rise of 8.0% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Bellevue Heights

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS residential approval records indicates that Bellevue Heights averages approximately 1 new homes approved each year, amounting to roughly 8 homes over the past 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 7 approvals have been logged. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an average of 21 people per year entered the locality for every new home constructed, demonstrating that dwelling supply is falling markedly behind demand. This imbalance typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on local pricing, with newly built residences carrying an average construction value of $399,000.

Relative to Greater Adelaide, residential building activity in Bellevue Heights is substantially suppressed, sitting 69.0% below regional average per person. Although local building has picked up lately, constrained pipeline volume tends to bolster prices and interest for existing properties. Construction volume also trails national norms, highlighting the established character of the area alongside potential planning limitations. Recent building approvals consist of 67.0% standalone homes alongside 33.0% attached dwellings, reflecting a growing selection of medium-density formats that diversify price points from standard detached family residences to more affordable alternatives. This marks a noticeable departure from the existing profile (currently 86.0% houses), driven by limited building parcel availability and evolving buyer lifestyle preferences. Recording around 406 people per approval, the locality displays the hallmarks of an established market. Looking forward, the most recent AreaSearch quarterly projection anticipates that Bellevue Heights will add 247 residents through to 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing supply could find it difficult to keep pace with population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward property value trajectories.

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 (2,712 at the 2021 Census → 3,090 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 (SAL40092). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Bellevue Heights suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Bellevue Heights page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Bellevue Heights data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2025) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
