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.

Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that the population of Richmond - Clarendon stands at roughly 16,783 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 15,239 people documented in the 2021 Census, this represents a gain of 1,544 people (10.1%). This updated total builds upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 16,743 recorded as of June 2025, combined with 361 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density corresponds to 224 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space alongside capacity for upcoming residential expansion. Outperforming both the broader SA3 area (5.1%) and the wider SA4 region, Richmond - Clarendon's 10.1% expansion since the 2021 census establishes it as a regional growth leader.
Net interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 73.4% of total population additions over recent intervals, while natural increase and overseas migration also contributed positively to the total. Forecast modeling from AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline) for local SA2 regions, supplemented by NSW State Government SA2 figures published in 2022 (using 2021 as a baseline) where required. Cohort-specific growth rates derived from these series are applied across all locations spanning the 2032 to 2041 period. Based on these projected demographic patterns, population growth is anticipated to track above the national median for statistical divisions, with the district modeled to gain 3,253 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP benchmarks, representing cumulative growth of 19.1% across the 16 years.

8,325 residents of Richmond - Clarendon are employed, from a labour force of 8,616. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 62.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Richmond - Clarendon maintains a capable local workforce featuring strong representation across vital public services and a low unemployment rate of 3.4%. By March 2026, employed residents reached 8,325 individuals, with local unemployment sitting 0.8% below the Greater Sydney benchmark of 4.1%, whereas labour force engagement remains lower at 62.2% relative to 68.9% across Greater Sydney. Census findings showed that an elevated 27.6% of workers operated from home, a figure influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
Construction shows exceptional concentration, claiming a resident employment share 1.5 times the wider regional baseline. In contrast, professional & technical roles account for only 4.9% of the workforce, well below the 11.5% regional norm. Although local jobs exist within the boundary, comparisons between working resident counts and local employment figures suggest that a significant volume of residents travel outside the area for employment. Evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch demonstrates that during the 12 months to March 2026, both the local workforce and employment totals fell by 3.9%, maintaining an even jobless rate. This trend diverged from Greater Sydney, which registered a 1.9% gain in employment, a 1.9% rise in the labour pool, and a slight decline in unemployment. Further context regarding long-term employment needs within Richmond - Clarendon can be drawn from national labour forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied across the local industry distribution to gauge potential workforce expansion. Across Australia, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Adjusting for Richmond - Clarendon's specific industry composition suggests local job opportunities could rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (note that this weighting model serves illustrative purposes and excludes localized population modeling).

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 — 361 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (15,239 at the 2021 Census → 16,783 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.
