Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Belmore has an estimated population of around 14,006, according to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS population updates alongside new addresses validated since the Census. Compared to the 2021 Census tally of 13,781 people, this represents an addition of 225 people (1.6%). This trend is determined from an estimated resident population of 13,980 identified by AreaSearch following the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), coupled with 113 validated new addresses recorded since the Census date. With 5,130 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density places it within the top 10% of areas evaluated nationwide by AreaSearch, highlighting local land as an exceptionally competitive asset.
Recent demographic expansion has been powered predominantly by net overseas migration, which generated approximately 74.0% of total population additions. Projections for the suburb of Belmore utilise ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 figures published in 2024 (taking 2022 as the base year), supplemented by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 forecasts (using 2021 as the baseline) wherever required. Age cohort growth rates derived from these data series are applied across 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, population growth for the suburb of Belmore is projected to track marginally below the national median across statistical areas, expanding by 1,325 persons to 2041 under aggregated SA2-level modeling, which constitutes an overall rise of 9.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
152 new dwellings have been approved in Belmore over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 32 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 50% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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
Dwelling approval data from the ABS, compiled by AreaSearch across statistical divisions, indicates that Belmore has averaged roughly 30 new residential approvals annually, totaling an estimated 152 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) with 13 approved to date in FY-25. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the arrival rate averaged merely 0.1 new residents per year per newly approved home, suggesting that construction activity is matching or outrunning local demand, sustaining healthy choice for purchasers and providing room for demographic expansion beyond projected numbers.
Construction costs for these new residential dwellings average $506,000. Additionally, commercial planning approvals have reached $6.6 million during this financial year, underscoring the suburb's predominantly residential character. Per capita building rates in Belmore remain aligned with Greater Sydney, sustaining balanced supply conditions relative to neighboring suburbs, though activity remains below the national benchmark due to established urban infill constraints and local market maturity. Approvals for new residential construction are divided equally between standalone homes (50.0%) and attached dwellings (50.0%). This emphasis on medium-to-high density housing delivers accessible pricing brackets catering to first-time buyers, investors, and downsizing owner-occupiers. A ratio of around 1163 people per dwelling approval further underlines Belmore's status as a well-established property market. According to the latest quarterly projections from AreaSearch, Belmore is forecast to add 1,299 residents by 2041. If residential construction volumes remain at current levels, housing delivery may fail to keep pace with demographic expansion, potentially driving up purchasing competition and supporting future price appreciation.

6,949 residents of Belmore are employed, from a labour force of 7,437. Unemployment sits at 6.6%, with participation at 62.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 11,570, about 83% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Statistical area aggregations by AreaSearch show that Belmore features an educated local workforce with notable professional services employment, an unemployment rate of 6.6%, and an estimated 1.9% increase in jobs over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 6,949 residents are employed. The jobless rate sits 2.4% higher than the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney, while labor force participation (62.5%) trails the regional figure of 68.9%. Census records indicate that 38.7% of working residents worked from home, though this figure was influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Local resident employment is largely clustered across construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance.
Transport, postal & warehousing exhibits a pronounced local concentration, capturing a workforce share 1.5 times the wider regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 7.9% of working residents, sitting below the 11.5% seen across Greater Sydney. A comparison between the Census working population and resident workforce suggests that local employment opportunities within the suburb are relatively constrained. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures indicates that over the 12-month period, local employment expanded by 1.9% while the labor pool expanded by 2.4%, pushing the unemployment rate up by 0.4 percentage points. Across Greater Sydney over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 1.9%, the labor force expanded by 1.9%, and unemployment edged slightly lower. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further guidance on future labor demand in Belmore across five and ten-year horizons. Nationally, overall employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by industry sector. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against Belmore's industry base points to estimated local employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (noting this is a weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes localized population projections).

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 — 113 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,781 at the 2021 Census → 14,006 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.
