This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Beveridge has an estimated 11,277 residents, up from 4,642 at the 2021 Census — a change of 6,635 people, or 142.9%. Growth has averaged 21.5% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. 2,829 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 72.0% of that increase. That puts 101 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 investigations of ABS demographic statistics for the surrounding region combined with new address validations performed by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Beveridge has an estimated population of 11,277 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 6,635 individuals (142.9%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,642 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 11,076, projected by AreaSearch after examining the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) along with 2,829 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. Such a population size results in a density of 100 persons per square kilometer, offering plenty of space per resident and opportunity for additional expansion.
The 142.9% expansion of the suburb of Beveridge since the 2021 census outpaced the state rate (9.3%) and the national benchmark, establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion was primarily propelled by arrivals from other states, which accounted for roughly 72.0% of overall population increases in recent times, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also contributed positively. AreaSearch implements ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 district, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 districts lacking this information, AreaSearch applies the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via a weighted aggregation method of population growth from the LGA to the SA2 level. Growth dynamics by age bracket from these aggregations are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, demographic patterns suggest exceptional expansion that ranks the suburb of Beveridge in the top 10 percent of statistical areas reviewed by AreaSearch, with projections indicating an increase of 29,274 persons by 2041, representing a total rise of 257.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
3,123 new dwellings have been approved in Beveridge over the past five years, an average of 624 a year. That places the area in the 97th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 55 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 616 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 478, 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building permits allocated from statistical area records show that Beveridge has averaged approximately 624 new residential approvals annually, translating to an estimated 3,123 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 439 approvals have been logged. An average of 2.2 residents relocated to the locality for each newly built dwelling over the last 5 financial years (running from FY-21 to FY-25), demonstrating solid demand that supports real estate values, with new homes constructed at an average cost of $361,000. Additionally, $12.3 million in commercial permits have been registered in the current financial year, showing ongoing commercial investment.
Relative to Greater Melbourne, Beveridge displays 650.0% higher building activity on a per-person basis, presenting purchasers with a broader range of options despite a recent moderation in construction volume. This volume remains significantly higher than the national standard, demonstrating strong developer interest. New builds consist of 95.0% standalone houses and 5.0% medium to high-density dwellings, preserving the established low-density landscape with a focus on family properties suitable for buyers wanting space. Averaging roughly 15 residents per approved dwelling, Beveridge exhibits the typical traits of an expanding growth corridor. Future models indicate that Beveridge will add 29,073 residents by 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly figures. Building activity is moving at a reasonable rate relative to projected expansion, though purchasers may experience rising competition as the population increases.

7,346 residents of Beveridge are employed, from a labour force of 7,810. Unemployment sits at 5.9%, with participation at 94.0%. 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 8,579, about 76% 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
Beveridge has a qualified labour force, with the construction sector showing strong representation, alongside an unemployment rate of 5.9% and estimated job growth of 13.9% over the past year, calculated from AreaSearch's aggregation of local statistical data. As of March 2026, there are 7,346 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.2% higher than the Greater Melbourne rate of 4.8%, while labor participation is exceptionally high at 94.0% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%. Census data reveals that a moderate 18.4% of residents worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 containment measures.
The primary sectors employing local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. The locality displays a high concentration in construction, with its share of employment reaching 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 3.3% of the local workforce, which is below the 10.1% recorded for Greater Melbourne. The discrepancy between the Census working population and the resident population suggests a shortage of local employment options. According to AreaSearch's collation of SALM and ABS statistics for broader statistical regions, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 13.9% and the labor force grow by 16.2%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 1.9 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded a 2.1% rise in employment, a 2.3% expansion of the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future demand in Beveridge. These five and ten-year forecasts have been combined with the local workforce distribution to project future growth. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by industry. Applying these industry projections to Beveridge's specific workforce suggests local employment will rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 2,829 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,642 at the 2021 Census → 11,277 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.
