Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining ABS regional population updates and post-Census validated new addresses, the suburb of Belmont (WA) has an estimated resident tally of approximately 7,942 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 983 people (14.1%) relative to the 2021 Census count of 6,959 people. The revised total builds on an Estimated Resident Population of 7,926 determined from the June 2025 ABS release, alongside 49 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Consequently, the suburb of Belmont (WA) exhibits a population density of 1,817 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the national benchmark evaluated by AreaSearch.
Furthermore, the 14.1% expansion achieved by the suburb of Belmont (WA) since the 2021 census outperformed the nationwide rate of 9.5%, establishing the locality as a regional pacesetter, with gains almost entirely propelled by overseas migration. Projections applied by AreaSearch incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia models utilizing 2022 as a base year for SA2 boundaries, supplemented post-2032 and for unmapped SA2s by cohort growth metrics from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (grounded in 2022 figures). Under these demographic expectations, the suburb of Belmont (WA) is forecast to record expansion slightly under the national median, gaining 903 persons by 2041 across consolidated SA2 assessments, which translates to a cumulative rise of 11.2% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population

That places the area in the 82nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 64 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 34% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 35, 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows that Belmont averages roughly 60 approved residential dwellings annually, totaling approximately 302 approved homes over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 35 recorded during FY-25 to date. Local demand remains strong, supporting property valuations as the area absorbed an average of 2.2 new residents per year per constructed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25). New residential construction involves an average cost of $433,000, while commercial approvals have reached $38.5 million in the current financial year, highlighting solid local commercial development.
Per-capita construction in Belmont exceeds the Greater Perth benchmark by 42.0% over the 5 year period, maintaining healthy market demand while ensuring steady inventory for purchasers. Medium-to-high density structures make up the majority of recent approvals, with townhouses or apartments comprising 66.0% and detached houses accounting for 34.0%. This orientation toward compact floorplans offers entry-level options for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. It also marks a distinct transition from the existing built environment, which stands at 76.0% houses, responding to land constraints and evolving living preferences. With roughly 94 people per dwelling approval, Belmont demonstrates strong urban expansion indicators. Long-term forecasts indicate Belmont will add 887 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. The current pace of residential construction appears well-positioned to satisfy this incoming demand, fostering favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling demographic expansion beyond base forecasts.

4,653 residents of Belmont (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 4,896. Unemployment sits at 5.0%, with participation at 72.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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 11,359, about 143% 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
Workforce metrics compiled by AreaSearch indicate Belmont features an educated labor base with prominent industrial and manufacturing presence, an unemployment rate of 5.0%, and an annual employment growth rate of 2.0%. There are 4,653 employed residents as of March 2026. The local jobless rate sits 0.8% above the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth, while labor participation reaches 72.2%, tracking slightly ahead of the metropolitan average of 69.9%. Remote work adoption stood at a modest 6.6% during the Census, an outcome subject to the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, mining, and retail trade.
Transport, postal & warehousing represents a major regional specialization, capturing a workforce share 1.5 times the broader metropolitan standard. Conversely, education & training is comparatively modest, engaging 5.8% of local workers versus 9.2% across Greater Perth. Operating with a ratio of 1.5 workers for every resident as at the Census, Belmont serves as a notable employment hub that draws commuters from surrounding suburbs. Based on ABS and SALM statistical aggregations by AreaSearch, the recent 12-month period recorded a 2.0% increase in employed persons alongside a 2.4% expansion in the total labor force, resulting in a 0.4 percentage points rise in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0% and the workforce grow by 2.5%, with unemployment similarly increasing by 0.4 percentage points. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context for prospective labor demand. Against countrywide growth forecasts of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies substantially. Applying these national sector trajectories to the local occupational structure suggests employment in Belmont could expand by 6.1% over five years and 13.0% over ten years, representing a baseline weighted projection that excludes localized demographic adjustments.

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 — 49 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,959 at the 2021 Census → 7,942 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL50105). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
