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

As of Nov 2025, Beverly Hills statistical area's population is estimated at around 11,263. This shows an increase of 780 people (7.4%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 10,483. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 11,023 following examination of ABS's latest ERP data release in June 2024 and an additional 43 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 3,704 persons per square kilometer, placing Beverly Hills (SA2) in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The area's 7.4% growth since census is within 0.1 percentage points of the SA4 region's 7.5%, indicating competitive growth fundamentals. Overseas migration contributed approximately 86.0% of overall population gains during recent periods in Beverly Hills (SA2).

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. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied 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 (SA2) expected to increase by 815 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total increase of 2.6% over the 17 years.

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

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Beverly Hills averaged around 43 new dwelling approvals each year over the past five financial years ending June 2021. This totals an estimated 217 homes approved during this period. As of April 2026, 22 approvals have been recorded in fiscal year 2025-2026. Beverly Hills has experienced population decline while maintaining adequate housing supply relative to demand, resulting in a balanced market with good buyer choice.

New properties are constructed at an average expected construction cost of $508,000, indicating a focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties. In fiscal year 2025-2026, $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 significant shift from existing housing patterns which are currently 67% houses. This trend suggests diminishing developable land availability and responds to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs.

With approximately 301 people per dwelling approval, Beverly Hills indicates a developing market. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Beverly Hills is projected to add around 298 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth beyond current projections.
