Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Belmont (NSW) has an estimated resident count of around 7,394, determined via AreaSearch's evaluation of post-Census validated addresses alongside ABS regional population updates. Compared to the 7,289 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 105 people (1.4%). This shift incorporates the resident population of 7,387 estimated by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, in addition to 131 validated new addresses identified following the Census. Density stands at 675 persons per square kilometer, offering ample room per resident as well as scope for incoming development.
With its 1.4% post-census growth, the suburb of Belmont (NSW) sits within 1.9 percentage points of the wider SA3 area (3.3%), reflecting sound growth indicators. Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth driver locally, generating approximately 93.0% of recent population additions. Projections utilised by AreaSearch draw from 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia data benchmarked to 2022 across individual SA2 boundaries, supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 releases based in 2021 where necessary. Age-specific growth trends from these datasets are applied to every location for 2032 through to 2041. Looking forward under this framework, the suburb of Belmont (NSW) is projected to experience a demographic contraction, dropping by 225 persons by 2041. Even so, particular cohorts will expand, spearheaded by people aged 85 and over, who are expected to gain 206 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
88 new dwellings have been approved in Belmont (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, broadly in line with 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 by AreaSearch shows that the locality recorded roughly 17 residential approvals annually on average, totaling approximately 88 approved residences over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 15 approvals logged during FY-25 to date. Because the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) averaged only 0.7 new residents per year per dwelling constructed, residential supply comfortably meets or outpaces local demand, ensuring broad selection for purchasers and headroom for demographic expansion above existing projections. Concurrently, average construction values sit at $667,000 per dwelling, illustrating builder orientation toward upscale developments.
Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $28.7 million this financial year, underscoring solid local enterprise commitment. Per capita residential building volumes in the area run at roughly half the rate seen across Rest of NSW, placing it at the 51st percentile across the nation, despite a recent uptick in building work. This lower volume relative to national figures suggests local development constraints and a mature housing sector. Of recent construction, detached residences accounted for 56.0%, while medium and high-density housing comprised 44.0%, providing a broadening selection of medium-density formats that cater to varying budgets, spanning standard family homes to economical compact layouts. The area registers roughly 289 people per dwelling approval, representative of a low-density environment. Given demographic outlooks indicating static or contracting resident counts, the area is poised to experience eased housing demand pressure, which will favor incoming purchasers.

3,449 residents of Belmont (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 3,650. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 56.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% 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
A solid skilled labor base characterizes the local community, with notable representation across essential service industries and a 5.5% unemployment rate according to AreaSearch's statistical area figures. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 3,449, while local unemployment sits 1.4% above the 4.1% seen in Regional NSW, and the local participation rate of 56.9% trails the broader Regional NSW benchmark of 60.6%. Census figures indicated that 22.9% of workers conducted their duties from home, though pandemic-related lockdown measures may have influenced these findings. Local workers are predominantly employed across health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Construction represents a major local specialization, capturing an employment share 1.4 times that of the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 0.3% of the local workforce, compared to 5.3% across Regional NSW. Although local positions are available, Census comparisons of resident workers to local employment indicate substantial outbound commuting for employment. AreaSearch's review of broader statistical area data from the ABS and SALM indicates that during the 12 months to March 2026, the local labor pool contracted by 0.6% alongside a 2.8% decrease in jobs, pushing unemployment up by 2.0 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW recorded an employment drop of 0.9% and a labor force reduction of 0.4%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase in unemployment. Industry-level employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated Mar-26 provide additional context on future labor needs. Applied across local workforce proportions, these five- and ten-year national outlooks, which project economy-wide job growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, imply local employment could expand by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, though sector-specific trajectories vary widely (note that this represents a straightforward weighting model for demonstration and does not integrate localized population forecasts).

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 — 131 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,289 at the 2021 Census → 7,394 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.
