Belmont (NSW) has an estimated 7,390 residents, up from 7,289 at the 2021 Census — a change of 101 people, or 1.4%. 131 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 675 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 evaluation of ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region, alongside new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Belmont (NSW) is estimated to be approximately 7,390 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 101 people (1.4%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 7,289 people. This shift is derived from the resident population of 7,386, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 131 validated new addresses since the Census date.
Such a population size translates to a density ratio of 674 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial space per resident and potential capacity for subsequent expansion. The 1.4% growth since the census in the suburb of Belmont (NSW) placing it within 1.8 percentage points of the SA3 area (3.2%), indicating competitive growth dynamics. Regional population gains were mostly fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 93.0% of total population increases in recent times. AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age bracket from these aggregations are also applied to all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead at demographic patterns, forecasts indicate a contraction in the overall population, with the cohort in the suburb of Belmont (NSW) projected to decrease by 216 persons by 2041 under this approach. Conversely, growth in specific age brackets is expected, led by the 85 and over age group, which is forecast to grow by 212 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
99 new dwellings have been approved in Belmont (NSW) over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 2.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 14, well below 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 approval figures allocated from statistical area data, Belmont has averaged approximately 19 residential properties approved per year, yielding an estimated total of 99 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 13 approvals have been logged. With an average of just 0.5 new residents per year arriving per new home over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), new supply is matching or exceeding demand, providing purchasers with more options and permitting population growth that might surpass current forecasts, while new dwellings show an average value of $662,000, indicating developer interest in the premium market with upscale builds.
Furthermore, $28.7 million in commercial development approvals have been logged this financial year, indicating high levels of local business activity. When evaluated against Rest of NSW, Belmont registers approximately 65% of the building activity per capita, placing it in the 40th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, leading to relatively limited choice for buyers and supporting demand for established properties. This rate is similarly below the national average, reflecting market maturity and highlighting potential development constraints. New construction consists of 58.0% standalone houses and 42.0% townhouses or apartments, presenting an increasing mix of attached dwellings that provide options across different price points, from large family residences to more affordable compact options. The estimated ratio of 410 people in the area per dwelling approval indicates a quiet, low-intensity development environment. Given population forecasts pointing to stability or decline, Belmont is anticipated to experience decreased housing demand pressures, which should benefit prospective purchasers.

3,443 residents of Belmont (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 3,647. Unemployment sits at 5.6%, 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
Belmont has a qualified labor force, with strong representation in essential services sectors, and an unemployment rate of 5.6%, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 3,443 residents are employed, while the unemployment rate is 1.5% higher than the Regional NSW rate of 4.1%, and workforce participation is slightly below average (56.9% compared to 60.6% in Regional NSW). Based on Census data, a moderate 22.9% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions should be kept in mind. The primary sectors of employment for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The locality displays a clear specialization in construction, with an employment share that is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing is under-represented, employing only 0.3% of Belmont's workforce compared to 5.3% in Regional NSW. Although local jobs are available in the district, the ratio of Census working population to local population indicates that many residents travel outside the area for employment. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, the labor force shrank by 0.6% alongside a 2.8% fall in employment during the year to March 2026, resulting in a 2.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced an employment drop of 0.9%, a labor force contraction of 0.4%, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Belmont. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry sector. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to Belmont's employment structure suggests local employment is poised to rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for 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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,289 at the 2021 Census → 7,390 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.
