DemographicsPopulation Growth in Bellmere

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Bellmere has an estimated 7,364 residents, up from 6,588 at the 2021 Census — a change of 776 people, or 11.8%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 60.0% of that increase. That puts 286 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

Based on reviews of ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident count in Bellmere is calculated at approximately 7,364 as of May 2026. This marks an expansion of 776 residents (11.8%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 6,588 individuals. The shift is calculated from a resident population of 7,269, computed by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) combined with 80 validated new addresses added since the Census date. This population size represents a density of 285 persons per square kilometer, indicating ample room per inhabitant and scope for future expansion.

The growth rate of 11.8% since the 2021 census outpaced the national average (9.3%) as well as the state, positioning the locality as a regional growth leader. Population increases were mostly driven by interstate arrivals, which represented around 60.0% of the total growth during recent times, though all indicators including overseas arrivals and natural expansion remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and for any years beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are applied. These state-level forecasts do not segment by age bracket; consequently, AreaSearch allocates proportional growth weightings aligned with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 figures) for each age cohort. Looking at forthcoming demographic trends, significant expansion placing the area in the top national quartile is anticipated, with forecasts indicating the local SA2 areas will add 2,763 residents by 2041, representing a total rise of 36.2% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Bellmere

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

114 new dwellings have been approved in Bellmere over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That places the area in the 67th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 63, 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

According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals compiled from statistical areas, Bellmere has recorded an average of roughly 22 new home approvals each year, with 114 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 58 registered so far in FY-26. With an average of 5.3 new occupants yearly for every completed dwelling during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping new supply, which typically drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, while new properties show an average build value of $371,000.

Furthermore, $312,000 in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, pointing to a heavily residential development profile. Relative to Greater Brisbane, construction volume in Bellmere is low (74.0% below the regional average per resident). This limited supply additions generally supports demand and valuations for established properties. This rate of construction also tracks below the national norm, reflecting the established status of the neighborhood and potential planning limits. Single-family homes make up 89.0% of the new inventory, with townhouses or apartments comprising the remaining 11.0%, maintaining the low-density environment through detached housing that appeals to buyers seeking space. The area has roughly 289 residents for each dwelling approval, suggesting capacity for expansion. Projecting forward, Bellmere is anticipated to add 2,668 inhabitants by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimation). If current building rates do not accelerate, residential supply may trail behind population gains, potentially heightening competition among buyers and supporting price growth.

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 — 80 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,588 at the 2021 Census → 7,364 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 (SAL30220). 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 Bellmere 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 Bellmere 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 Bellmere 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 (May 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Jul 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.
