Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.

SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).

Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Beechworth

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Beechworth has an estimated 4,964 residents. Density is about 13 people per 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Beechworth stands at approximately 4,964 in May 2026. This represents a reduction of 22 individuals (0.4%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 4,986 residents. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 4,962 along with 55 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population size results in a density of 13.4 persons per square kilometer, which represents a spacious distribution. Although the local Beechworth population fell by 0.4% since the census, the wider SA3 region expanded by 2.4%, demonstrating contrasting demographic developments.

The main driver of population growth locally was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 70.6% of the gains in recent times. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch uses projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia that were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 areas lack this data, projections are derived from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA releases, adjusted using a weighted aggregation method of population increases from the LGA to the SA2 level. The age group growth rates calculated via these aggregations are also applied to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking to future trends, non-metropolitan areas are expected to grow at a rate exceeding the national median, with this specific locality projected to increase by 973 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, which represents a total growth of 19.6% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Beechworth

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

127 new dwellings have been approved in Beechworth over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That is 5.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 19, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Approvals for new residential properties in Beechworth average approximately 25 per year, with 127 residential approvals documented across the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 18 recorded during FY-26 so far. An average of 0.2 people moved to the area for every new home constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), which indicates that the supply of new housing is matching or exceeding demand, thereby providing choices for buyers and creating room for population growth beyond predicted levels. The average construction cost of these new dwellings is $366,000, which is moderately higher than the regional average and points to a focus on quality builds.

Additionally, commercial approvals worth $7.7 million have been registered during this financial year, reinforcing that the locality is primarily residential. The rate of new home approvals per person in Beechworth is approximately three-quarters of the level seen in Rest of Vic., placing the area in the 59th percentile of all localities evaluated across the nation. Recent construction approvals consist entirely of single-family detached homes, which preserves the historically low-density environment of the area and emphasizes family residences for those wanting space. There are roughly 299 people for each residential approval, confirming the low-density profile of the local market. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Beechworth is projected to add 971 inhabitants by the year 2041. While residential development is progressing at a reasonable rate relative to this projected growth, purchasing conditions may become more competitive for buyers as the population increases.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 15 applications for Beechworth, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,986 at the 2021 Census → 4,964 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (204031068). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Beechworth SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Beechworth page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Beechworth data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
