Claremont Meadows

Claremont Meadows lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

The population of Claremont Meadows is estimated at around 5,645 as of February 2026. This reflects an increase of 468 people from the 2021 Census figure of 5,177. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 5,497 residents following examination of ABS data released in June 2024 and the validation of 82 new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,856 persons per square kilometer. Claremont Meadows' growth rate of 9.0% since the 2021 Census exceeded both its SA4 region (6.5%) and the state average. Overseas migration contributed approximately 44.0% to this population increase, with other factors such as natural growth and interstate migration also playing a role.

AreaSearch's projections for Claremont Meadows are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year, and NSW State Government SA2-level projections for areas not covered by this data, using 2021 as the base year. These projections forecast significant population growth in Claremont Meadows, with an expected increase of 1,729 persons to reach a total population of 7,374 by 2041, reflecting a 32.1% increase over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch analysis of residential development drivers sees Claremont Meadows recording a relatively average level of approval activity when compared to local markets analysed countrywide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Claremont Meadows recorded around 15 residential properties granted approval each year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 75 homes. So far in FY-26, seven approvals have been recorded. On average, 11.4 new residents per year are associated with every home built between FY-21 and FY-25. This indicates demand outpacing supply, which typically influences prices positively and intensifies competition among buyers.

New dwellings are developed at an average cost of $402,000. In this financial year, there have been $16.3 million in commercial approvals, suggesting balanced commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Claremont Meadows has significantly less development activity, with 53.0% below the regional average per person. This constrained new construction often reinforces demand and pricing for existing dwellings. Nationally, this activity is also below average, reflecting the area's maturity and possible planning constraints.

New development consists of 80.0% standalone homes and 20.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving Claremont Meadows' suburban nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. The location has approximately 561 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. Looking ahead, Claremont Meadows is expected to grow by 1,811 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Should current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
