As of Nov 2025, Beverly Hills' population is estimated at around 10,961 people. This reflects an increase of 478 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,483 people. The current resident population estimate of 10,911 by AreaSearch, following examination of ABS' latest ERP data release in June 2024 and validation of additional 43 new addresses since the Census date, indicates this growth. This results in a population density ratio of approximately 3,605 persons per square kilometer, placing Beverly Hills in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb's 4.6% population growth since the census is within 0.9 percentage points of the SA4 region's 5.5%, indicating competitive growth fundamentals. Overseas migration contributed approximately 86.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, driving primary population growth in Beverly Hills.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021, and applies growth rates by age group from these aggregations to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Future population trends suggest an increase just below the median of statistical areas across the nation, with Beverly Hills expected to increase by 821 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total increase of approximately 5.5% over these 17 years.

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

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers indicates Beverly Hills averaged approximately 43 new dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 215 homes. As of FY-26, 11 approvals have been recorded. The area has experienced population decline, yet housing supply remains adequate relative to demand, resulting in a balanced market with good buyer choice. New properties are constructed at an average value of $524,000.

This financial year has seen $1.7 million in commercial approvals, reflecting the area's residential nature. Building activity shows 49.0% detached houses and 51.0% townhouses or apartments, indicating a shift towards higher-density living to create more affordable entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. This marks a change from existing housing patterns, which are currently 67.0% houses, potentially due to diminishing developable land availability and evolving lifestyle preferences. The location has approximately 314 people per dwelling approval, suggesting a low-density market.

Beverly Hills is expected to grow by 606 residents through to 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. With current construction levels, housing supply should adequately meet demand, creating favourable conditions for buyers while potentially enabling growth that exceeds current forecasts.

These projections suggest that national employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with growth rates varying significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Beverly Hills' employment mix indicates local employment should increase by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localized population projections.
