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 Clermont

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Clermont has an estimated 4,070 residents, up from 3,893 at the 2021 Census — a change of 177 people, or 4.5%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.

Detail

Demographic analysis from AreaSearch indicates that Clermont has a population of approximately 4,070 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 3,893 people counted in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 177 residents (4.5%). These calculations draw upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,068 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 12 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With a density ratio of 0.10 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers considerable room for its inhabitants. Natural increase served as the principal driver of demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 73.7% of the total population additions in recent times.

For individual SA2 locations, AreaSearch incorporates ABS/Geoscience Australia forecasts published in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point. Where SA2 regions lack coverage in that dataset, or across periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 utilizing 2021 numbers are used instead. Because the state-level figures do not separate data by age, AreaSearch assigns proportional age-cohort weighting based on the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (published in 2023 with 2022 data). Looking at long-term patterns, Clermont is projected to experience demographic growth trailing slightly below the median across Australian non-metropolitan areas, expanding by 176 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP statistics and logging an overall rise of 4.3% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Clermont

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

34 new dwellings have been approved in Clermont over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 1 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Over the preceding 5 financial years, Clermont has recorded a total of 34 residential building approvals, representing an annual average of about 6 dwellings. Across this period (running from FY-22 through FY-26), approximately 4.8 new residents have arrived for each dwelling built, creating a situation where structural demand clearly exceeds residential construction, a dynamic that commonly heightens buyer competition and drives prices upward, while newly approved residences carry an average construction value of $580,000. Additionally, commercial development shows strong momentum, backed by $57.3 million in approved commercial activity during the current financial year.

On a per-capita basis, Clermont matches the development rates seen across Rest of Qld, maintaining an equilibrium aligned with the wider region. Activity remains lower than the national benchmark, pointing toward local market maturity and potential zoning or planning constraints. Across recent approvals, detached houses represent 29.0% while medium and high-density formats comprise 71.0%. This emphasis on higher-density construction offers accessible price points catering to downsizers, first-home purchasers, and investors. It marks a clear departure from the existing built environment (which currently features 88.0% houses), signaling a tightening supply of greenfield parcels alongside growing demand for varied and attainable housing formats. Furthermore, a figure of 759 residents per dwelling approval underlines the subdued, low-volume pace of building activity in the locality. Projections indicate that Clermont will add 174 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. At present construction rates, the delivery of new residential stock is positioned to comfortably satisfy future demand, establishing supportive purchasing conditions and potentially accommodating population gains above current baseline expectations.

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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,893 at the 2021 Census → 4,070 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 (312011339). 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 Clermont 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 Clermont 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 Clermont 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 (Aug 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.
