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

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since Feb 2026, Claremont Meadows' estimated population is around 5,645. This reflects an increase of 468 people (9.0%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,177. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of resident population at 5,497 following examination of ABS' latest ERP data release in June 2024 and an additional 82 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,856 persons per square kilometer, exceeding national averages assessed by AreaSearch. Claremont Meadows' growth rate of 9.0% since the 2021 census exceeded both its SA4 region (6.5%) and state averages, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Overseas migration contributed approximately 44.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections for areas not covered by this data, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Forecasting demographic trends, Claremont Meadows is expected to experience significant population growth, with projections indicating an increase of 1,686 persons to 2041, reflecting a total increase of 27.2% over the 17 years.

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. This totals an estimated 78 homes. So far in FY26, 8 approvals have been recorded. On average, 11 new residents per year are associated with every home built between FY21 and FY25.

This indicates demand significantly outpacing supply, which typically exerts upward pressure on prices and increases competition among buyers. The average construction value of new dwellings is $402,000. In FY26, 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, 51.0% below the regional average per person. This constrained new construction usually 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 510 people per dwelling approval, reflecting an established area. Looking ahead, Claremont Meadows is expected to grow by 1,538 residents through to 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
