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 Belmont

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Belmont has an estimated 15,360 residents, up from 15,017 at the 2021 Census — a change of 343 people, or 2.3%. 145 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 1,639 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Belmont stands at approximately 15,360 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 343 people (2.3%) relative to the 15,017 people recorded during the 2021 Census. Such population adjustments are derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 15,227 as of June 2025 alongside 145 validated new addresses established following the Census. Consequently, the local density reaches 1,639 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical nationwide benchmark tracked by AreaSearch. Belmont's 2.3% post-census expansion trails Rest of Vic.

(4.4%) by only 2.1 percentage points, indicating resilient local expansion. International arrivals served as the primary demographic driver, accounting for roughly 73.6% of recent net population additions. AreaSearch is relying on ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts for every SA2 region, drawing from data published in 2024 that uses 2022 as the reference year. Where such data is unavailable for certain SA2 zones, the service turns to projections from the VIC State Government’s Regional/LGA estimates issued in 2023, modifying them through a weighted aggregation technique that scales population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Age-specific growth rates derived from these aggregated figures are then applied uniformly across all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, demographic patterns suggest a notable surge in the highest quartile of Australian non-metropolitan areas, with the region projected to add 3,239 residents by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP population counts, representing a 20.2% rise over the 16-year span.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Belmont

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

236 new dwellings have been approved in Belmont over the past five years, an average of 47 a year. That is 3.1 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 47 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 38% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Over the past 5 financial years, residential building consents across Belmont have averaged roughly 47 per annum, accumulating to 236 homes. Between FY-22 and FY-26, the influx rate stood at an average of only 0.6 people per year for every newly erected home over the past 5 financial years, demonstrating that residential additions are matching or outstripping demographic influx, providing broad selection for purchasers and headroom for further population gains, with homes constructed at an average value of $391,000. Additionally, non-residential activity saw $13.4 million in commercial approvals during this financial year, pointing to steady commercial investment.

When measured against Rest of Vic., construction rates in Belmont remain considerably subdued (68.0% below regional average per person). While this constrained volume tends to underpin buyer interest and asset values among established homes, falling below national standards highlights an established urban footprint and potential building constraints. Higher-density formats dominate incoming stock, with medium and high-density housing accounting for 62.0% compared to 38.0% standalone homes. This focus provides accessible price tiers catering to first-time buyers, downsizers, and property investors. Such trends contrast with the historical housing landscape (currently 78.0% houses), highlighting limited vacant land alongside shifting demographic requirements. Recording approximately 501 people per dwelling approval, the precinct displays clear characteristics of an established, mature market. Projections indicate that Belmont is set to welcome an additional 3,106 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. Maintaining prevailing construction volumes could make it difficult for new housing stock to absorb incoming numbers, which may intensify market competition and drive upward pressure on values.

Is the Belmont SA2 keeping up with housing demand?
With the population expected to increase by 3,106 people by 2041, around 1,553 new dwellings will be necessary.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 61 applications for Belmont, 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 — 145 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,017 at the 2021 Census → 15,360 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 Aug 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 (203021037). 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 Belmont 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 Belmont 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 Belmont 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Oct 2026), infrastructure projects (Sep 2026) and services & amenities (Sep 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Sep 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.
