Sales Detail
Bellevue (WA) has an estimated 1,966 residents, up from 1,514 at the 2021 Census — a change of 452 people, or 29.9%. Growth has averaged 4.1% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. 132 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 643 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 population figures from the ABS alongside address additions verified by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Bellevue (WA) has an estimated count of approximately 1,966 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared with the 1,514 residents recorded during the 2021 Census, this demonstrates an expansion of 452 people (29.9%). This estimate is calculated from an ERP resident count of 1,936 determined by AreaSearch after assessing ABS releases from June 2025 together with 132 validated new addresses entered post-Census. With a resultant density of 642 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample individual room and capacity for upcoming residential construction.
The 29.9% population surge since the 2021 census placed the suburb ahead of both state figures and the national average (9.5%), establishing it among the regional leaders in expansion. Inward overseas migration stood as the primary catalyst, effectively driving all resident gains recorded in recent times. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In territories missing this coverage, as well as for all forward projections beyond 2032, age cohort expansion rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region data (published in 2023 utilizing 2022 metrics) are incorporated. Looking forward, demographic forecasts for the suburb of Bellevue (WA) point to above-median Australian statistical area expansion, projecting an increase of 267 persons by 2041 under consolidated SA2 modelling, which represents an overall gain of 12.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
98 new dwellings have been approved in Bellevue (WA) over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That places the area in the 82nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 38% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals allocated by AreaSearch indicates that Bellevue registers approximately 19 residential approvals annually, totaling roughly 98 approved dwellings during the preceding 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 46 logged to date in FY-25. Over the course of these 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), an influx of 3.1 new residents arrived per completed dwelling each year, causing demand to outpace available stock, elevating buyer competition and placing upward pressure on values, with new builds averaging an estimated construction value of $379,000. Concurrently, commercial construction approvals reached $26.3 million during this financial year, pointing to a moderate volume of non-residential building activity.
Residential building volumes in Bellevue surpass the wider metropolitan benchmark by 17.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period relative to Greater Perth, which preserves buyer options while reinforcing local real estate values. This building intensity significantly exceeds national norms, demonstrating solid builder and developer confidence. Approvals consist of 38.0% detached houses alongside 62.0% medium and high-density housing options. This orientation toward higher-density stock offers affordable pathways for first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This marks a clear departure from existing neighborhood stock (where 84.0% houses currently prevail), reflecting site constraints alongside shifts in lifestyle preferences and a requirement for accessible, diverse dwellings. Generating around 37 people per dwelling approval, the neighborhood displays typical growth-corridor traits. Forecasts indicate that Bellevue is set to add 237 residents by 2041 relative to the newest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Maintaining the current pace of construction will ensure that incoming housing supply accommodates residential demand, creating favorable buyer market dynamics and possibly allowing population growth to exceed established projections.

989 residents of Bellevue (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 1,097. Unemployment sits at 9.8%, with participation at 67.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 3,214, about 163% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Bellevue maintains an even distribution of blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by robust participation across industrial and manufacturing sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 9.8% and year-on-year employment growth estimated at 7.3% through AreaSearch statistical compilations. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 989, while the local jobless rate sat 5.6% above Greater Perth's rate of 4.2%, highlighting room for improvement, and the participation rate of 67.7% trailed the Greater Perth level of 69.9%. Census records indicate that just 4.0% of local workers operated from home, a metric that may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
Key employment sectors for the local workforce include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Notably, transport, postal & warehousing exhibits significant local concentration, achieving a local employment share 1.7 times the regional level. In contrast, professional & technical occupations represent only 3.3% of the resident workforce compared to an 8.2% metropolitan benchmark. Featuring 1.8 workers for every resident as of the Census, the locality operates as an employment center that contains more jobs than resident workers and draws labor from neighboring communities. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM statistical data shows that across the year leading to March 2026, Bellevue saw a 7.3% expansion in employment alongside a 6.4% rise in the overall labor force, reducing local unemployment by 0.8 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Perth recorded employment growth of 2.0% and labor supply expansion of 2.5%, yielding a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term labor trajectory estimates from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Bellevue. Synthesizing these national five- and ten-year projections against the local industry profile provides an indicative baseline, pointing to five-year nationwide employment growth of 6.6% and ten-year growth of 13.7%, with performance varying across sectors. Applying these industry weightings to Bellevue's workforce suggests local employment increases of 5.6% over five years and 12.2% over ten years (representing an unadjusted weighted projection that excludes local population modeling).

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 — 132 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,514 at the 2021 Census → 1,966 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.
