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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Bellevue Hill has an estimated population of around 11,184 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 594 people (5.6%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,590 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 11,124, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 126 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 4,719 persons per square kilometer, which lies in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch, making land in the area a highly-sought resource. The 5.6% growth since census positions the suburb of Bellevue Hill within 1.5 percentage points of the state (7.1%), demonstrating competitive growth fundamentals. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 85.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Moving forward with demographic trends, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas across the nation is expected, with the suburb of Bellevue Hill expected to grow by 696 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting recording a gain of 5.7% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
265 new dwellings have been approved in Bellevue Hill over the past five years, an average of 53 a year. That is 4.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 57 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 26% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 77, running ahead of 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
Property analysis by AreaSearch using building approvals data from the ABS reveals that Bellevue Hill averages about 53 approved residential units annually, translating to approximately 265 total home approvals over the preceding 5 fiscal years (from FY-21 to FY-25) alongside 71 so far during FY-26. Given that an average of only 0.3 new residents moved to the suburb for each home constructed across those 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the supply of housing is successfully matching or exceeding local demand, expanding options for prospective buyers and laying the groundwork for population growth that could exceed expectations, with new properties being built at an average value of $1,785,000, illustrating that developers are focusing on the high-end luxury market segment.
In comparison to the broader Greater Sydney region, Bellevue Hill exhibits 67.0% more building approvals per capita, which provides prospective buyers with a wider array of choices. The construction profile indicates that 26.0% of these approvals are for detached houses, while 74.0% consist of medium and high-density apartments or townhouses. This preference for denser residential projects provides a more accessible point of entry and draws in downsizers, property investors, and first-home buyers. With approximately 205 people per dwelling approval, Bellevue Hill exhibits the general traits of a low density area. Demographic projections suggest that Bellevue Hill will add 636 new inhabitants through to 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. In light of ongoing building trends, the incoming supply of housing is expected to easily satisfy this demand, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially enabling expansion beyond current population forecasts.

6,673 residents of Bellevue Hill are employed, from a labour force of 6,818. Unemployment sits at 2.1%, with participation at 71.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,273, about 83% 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 local workforce is characterized by high levels of educational attainment, with the tech sector showing especially strong representation, while the unemployment rate sits at just 2.1% and job growth over the preceding year is estimated at 2.1% based on AreaSearch statistical modeling. As of March 2026, there are 6,673 employed residents in the area, contributing to an unemployment rate that is 2.0% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is relatively typical at 71.4% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census data indicates that a high proportion of 60.3% of the working population performed their jobs from home, although the temporary influence of pandemic-related restrictions should be kept in mind.
The primary sectors employing local residents are professional & technical services, healthcare & social assistance, and finance & insurance. The area has a particularly high concentration of workers in professional & technical fields, with employment levels reaching 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, construction workers are underrepresented, making up only 5.0% of the workforce compared to the broader metropolitan average of 8.6%. Because this is a major residential enclave, local employment opportunities appear limited, as shown by comparing the count of census workers to the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, during the year to March 2026, employment levels increased by 2.1% and labour force increased by 2.0%, keeping the unemployment rate relatively stable. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labour force growth of 1.9%, with a marginal drop. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Bellevue Hill. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Bellevue Hill's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 7.7% over five years and 15.2% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 126 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,590 at the 2021 Census → 11,184 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 (SAL10271). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
