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 Clifton - Greenmount

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Clifton - Greenmount has an estimated 5,473 residents, up from 5,109 at the 2021 Census — a change of 364 people, or 7.1%. Growth has averaged 1.2% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 80.3% of that increase. 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

According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Clifton - Greenmount stands at approximately 5,473 in May 2026. This indicates a growth of 364 residents (7.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented 5,109 individuals. This change is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 5,433 in June 2025 combined with 87 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 4.3 persons per square kilometer, which offers a spacious environment for residents. With its 7.1% expansion rate since the 2021 census, the area outpaced both the SA4 region (5.0%) and the SA3 area, establishing it as a primary driver of growth locally.

This upward trajectory was chiefly powered by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 80.3% of the total population growth in recent times, though other elements such as overseas migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for each SA2 area. For SA2 areas omitted from this dataset, as well as for all years after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and grounded in 2021 figures are substituted. Since these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates growth weightings across age groups using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Future projections suggest that population expansion will align just below the median rate of regional areas across the nation, with Clifton - Greenmount set to add 494 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing an overall rise of 8.3% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Clifton - Greenmount

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

87 new dwellings have been approved in Clifton - Greenmount over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, 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

Clifton - Greenmount averages approximately 17 residential building approvals annually, with a total of 87 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 25 recorded so far in FY-26. An average influx of 3.6 people per year for every new home constructed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) indicates that demand is outstripping supply, a dynamic that commonly accelerates price growth and intensifies competition among buyers, even as new construction posts an average estimated value of $287,000—a figure below regional benchmarks that suggests affordable opportunities for purchasers.

Furthermore, the area has seen $3.8 million in commercial development approvals during this financial year, underscoring its predominantly residential character. In comparison to the Rest of Qld, the rate of new residential approvals per person in Clifton - Greenmount is approximately three-quarters as high, placing it in the 41st percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which limits choice for buyers and sustains demand for established properties. This level of activity is also lower than the national average, reflecting a mature market environment and pointing to possible planning or physical boundaries. Moreover, recent building approvals consist entirely of single-family detached homes, preserving the area's established low-density character and emphasizing spacious options for families. The estimated ratio of 401 people for every single dwelling approval highlights the quiet nature of local construction activity. Long-term forecasts indicate that Clifton - Greenmount will add 454 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current levels of residential construction appear to match projected demand, supporting balanced market conditions and preventing excessive pressure on pricing.

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 — 87 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,109 at the 2021 Census → 5,473 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 (307031184). 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 Clifton - Greenmount 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 Clifton - Greenmount 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 Clifton - Greenmount 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 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.
