Beverly Hills

An assessment of population growth drivers in Beverly Hills reveals an overall ranking slightly below national averages considering recent, and medium term trends

The population of Beverly Hills is estimated at 10,783 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 300 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,483. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 10,769 following examination of ABS' ERP data release in June 2025 and validation of additional 46 new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 3,547 persons per square kilometer, placing Beverly Hills in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Overseas migration contributed approximately 86.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

Population projections for Beverly Hills are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with a base year of 2021 for areas not covered by the former data. Future population trends suggest an increase just below the median of statistical areas across the nation by 2041, with Beverly Hills expected to increase by 770 persons, reflecting a total increase of 7.0% over the 16 years.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Beverly Hills according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

Beverly Hills averaged approximately 43 new dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 217 homes. As of FY-26, 34 approvals have been recorded. On average, 0.5 new residents per year per dwelling were constructed between FY-21 and FY-25. This suggests that new construction is meeting or exceeding demand, providing more options for buyers and potentially driving population growth beyond current expectations.

The average expected construction cost value of new properties is $508,000, indicating a focus on the premium segment. In FY-26, $1.6 million in commercial approvals have been registered, reflecting the area's residential nature. New development consists of 50% detached houses and 50% attached dwellings, marking a shift from the current housing pattern of 67% houses. This denser development offers accessible entry options for downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers.

Beverly Hills has around 308 people per dwelling approval, indicating low density characteristics. According to AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate, Beverly Hills is projected to add 756 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current projections.
