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 Clifton Beach - Kewarra Beach stands at approximately 12,762 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 973 people (8.3%) compared to the 11,789 people documented in the 2021 Census. This upward adjustment is drawn from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 12,760 recorded as of June 2025, alongside 414 validated new addresses added since the Census date. With 339 persons per square kilometer, the locality maintains a low density ratio, offering substantial living space and scope for future expansion.
The area's 8.3% post-2021 census expansion outpaced the broader SA4 region (7.6%), positioning it among the territory's primary growth centers. Inward overseas migration served as the foremost catalyst, generating roughly 75.1% of recent net gains, though natural increase and interstate arrivals also delivered positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia models published in 2024 with a 2022 base year, transitioning to Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts (released in 2023, based on 2021 numbers) for post-2032 horizons or unlisted localities. Because state-level forecasts omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch incorporates age-specific proportional distributions from the ABS Greater Capital Region data released in 2023 using 2022 benchmarks. Driven by wider demographic changes, regional population growth is anticipated to outstrip national medians, with the community projected to gain 2,031 persons by 2041 relative to latest annual ERP statistics, representing a cumulative rise of 15.9% across the 16 years.

6,733 residents of Clifton Beach - Kewarra Beach are employed, from a labour force of 6,881. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 63.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,476, about 82% 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
A well-qualified workforce characterizes Clifton Beach - Kewarra Beach, featuring solid representation across vital service sectors alongside a low jobless rate of 2.2%. In March 2026, employed residents reached 6,733, with the unemployment rate tracking 1.8% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld and labor participation remaining comparable to Regional Qld's 64.2%. Census figures also recorded 18.2% of workers operating from home, an estimate potentially shaped by period pandemic restrictions. Local workers are predominantly engaged in health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and retail trade. Workforce concentration is exceptionally pronounced in accommodation & food, where the local representation reaches 1.5 times the regional benchmark.
Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing forms a minimal component at 1.0% versus 4.5% across the wider region. Comparing the resident employee base against local workplace positions at the Census indicates a constrained internal job market. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics over the 12-month period shows a 2.0% contraction in the labor force alongside a 2.8% reduction in total employment, which together lifted the jobless rate by 0.8 percentage points. By contrast, Regional Qld registered a 0.1% gain in employment, a 0.3% expansion in workforce participants, and a 0.1 percentage points uptick in unemployment. Further long-term labor trajectory indications stem from Jobs and Skills Australia projections released in Mar-26. Applying nationwide five-year (6.6%) and ten-year (13.7%) industry expectations to local industry distributions suggests employment within Clifton Beach - Kewarra Beach could expand by 6.7% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, serving as a weighted baseline projection without local demographic adjustments.

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 — 414 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,789 at the 2021 Census → 12,762 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 (306011139). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
