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.

Sales Detail
Clayfield has an estimated 11,773 residents, up from 10,754 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,019 people, or 9.5%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 83.0% of that increase. That puts 4,018 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
AreaSearch indicates that the population of Clayfield is approximately 11,773 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,019 individuals (9.5%) relative to the 10,754 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. The calculation is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 11,773 in June 2025 combined with 41 validated new addresses identified after the Census. This population level translates to a density of 4,018 persons per square kilometer, placing the suburb in the highest 10% of all areas analyzed nationwide and highlighting the strong demand for local land.
The growth rate of 9.5% since the 2021 census paced ahead of the 9.3% national figure, positioning the suburb as a primary growth point in the region. This expansion was largely underpinned by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 83.0% of the overall population rise in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline. For locations where this dataset is unavailable, or for periods extending past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 baseline data) are applied. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch distributes growth across age cohorts using proportions from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which are based on 2022 statistics. Looking forward, the suburb is projected to experience population expansion slightly below the national median, with local numbers forecast to grow by 580 residents by 2041 when measured against the most recent annual ERP figures, representing a total increase of 4.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
102 new dwellings have been approved in Clayfield over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 37, running ahead of 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 dwellings in Clayfield have run at a yearly average of approximately 20, totaling 102 residential approvals over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, alongside 34 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. With an average of 6.9 new residents added per built dwelling during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, local demand is outpacing incoming supply, a trend that typically drives upward price pressure and intensifies competition among buyers. The average value of these newly approved builds is $463,000, indicating that developers are focusing their efforts on the higher-end residential market.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $4.1 million have been logged during the current financial year, which reinforces the predominantly residential designation of the suburb. Property development volume in Clayfield is notably subdued compared to the wider region, tracking 74.0% below the Greater Brisbane per-capita average. This limited addition of housing stock generally acts to support prices and heighten demand for existing options. Local building activity is similarly quiet relative to national levels, reflecting a mature market environment with prospective planning limitations. Among the current crop of approvals, detached houses make up 75.0% while townhouses and apartments constitute 25.0%, preserving the classic suburban character and highlighting options for buyers seeking larger household formats. This emphasis on detached houses is stronger than the existing housing profile recorded at the Census (which stood at 37.0%), demonstrating that appetite for family homes remains high despite ongoing densification. The ratio of approximately 743 people per new dwelling approval underscores the highly established status of the local property market. Projections indicate that the population of Clayfield will rise by 580 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. The current pace of home building appears well-aligned with this projected demand, which should support balanced market dynamics and prevent excessive upward movement in prices.

7,381 residents of Clayfield are employed, from a labour force of 7,698. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 76.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 9,380, about 80% 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 labor pool is characterized by high levels of education, particularly in professional service industries, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.1% and a yearly job growth estimate of 0.9%. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,381, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.2% below the Greater Brisbane figure of 4.3%. Labor force participation is also elevated, reaching 76.6% compared to 70.4% across the Greater Brisbane area. Census data showed that a substantial 26.5% of the working population performed their roles from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, professional & technical services, and retail trade. The local concentration of jobs in professional & technical services is notable, standing at 1.6 times the regional average. In contrast, construction jobs are underrepresented, accounting for 5.2% of local employment compared to 9.0% across the region. A comparison of the local working population versus the resident population suggests that this heavily residential suburb offers few employment options within its own borders. AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS data shows that during the year leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.9% and the labor force expanded by 2.3%, leading to an increase of 1.3 percentage points in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Greater Brisbane, employment expanded by 3.2%, the labor force increased by 3.4%, and the unemployment rate ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide context for future hiring trends in Clayfield. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to map out potential growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary widely. Projecting these national industry trends onto the local employment mix suggests Clayfield could see job numbers rise by 7.2% over five years and 14.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local population forecasts.
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Clayfield is $1,931 a week (about $100,000 a year), with median personal income at $1,099 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $69,680 a year against an average of $112,465. The average runs 61% above the median, a wider spread than most areas and a sign of a concentrated group of high earners. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
According to the latest postcode-level ATO data released by AreaSearch for the financial year 2023, the median taxpayer income in the Clayfield SA2 is $69,680, with the average income recorded at $112,465. These figures place the area in the top bracket nationally, compared to a median of $58,236 and an average of $72,799 across Greater Brisbane. Factoring in Wage Price Index growth of 11.36% since the financial year 2023, current estimates suggest these figures have risen to approximately $77,596 for the median and $125,241 for the average as of March 2026.
Data from the 2021 Census highlights that individual weekly earnings are in the 85th percentile nationally at $1,099. The largest income cohort comprises 30.7% of residents (3,614 individuals) who earn between $1,500 - 2,999, mirroring the broader region where this bracket accounts for 33.3%. Financial capacity is further evidenced by the 30.3% of households earning weekly incomes above $3,000, which helps drive local consumer spending. High housing expenses demand 15.4% of total income, yet strong baseline earnings ensure that disposable income remains in the 62nd percentile, while the SEIFA index ranks the area in the 8th decile for income.

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 — 41 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,754 at the 2021 Census → 11,773 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 (305031122). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
