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.

10,985 residents of Claymore - Eagle Vale - Raby are employed, from a labour force of 11,691. Unemployment sits at 6.0%, with participation at 73.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 16,134, about 78% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The local workforce in Claymore - Eagle Vale - Raby is characterized by strong representation in manufacturing and industrial operations, an unemployment rate of 6.0%, and a 7.3% expansion in employment over the preceding year. As of March 2026, 10,985 residents are employed, with the unemployment rate standing 1.9% higher than the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, and workforce participation levels remaining typical at 73.0% compared to 69.1% in the broader metropolitan area. Census records reveal that a substantial 28.7% of employed residents worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. There is a strong concentration in manufacturing, with local employment shares in this sector reaching 1.7 times the metropolitan average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.7% of the workforce, which is lower than the Greater Sydney average of 11.5%. The relationship between the resident labor force and locally based jobs indicates that the area provides relatively few employment options within its boundaries. Analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the year ending March 2026, total employment expanded by 7.3% and the overall labor force grew by 7.8%, which led to a 0.4 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney experienced employment and labor force growth rates of 1.9% and 1.9% respectively, alongside a minor decrease in unemployment. Long-term national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Claymore - Eagle Vale - Raby. These five and ten-year forecasts have been combined with local employment data to model prospective growth. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by sector. Applying these trends to the local employment distribution suggests local job numbers could rise by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, based on a simple weighted model that does not adjust for local population shifts.

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 — 157 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (20,236 at the 2021 Census → 20,819 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 (123021438). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
