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

As of November 2025, Claremont Meadows' population is estimated at around 5,555 people. This reflects a growth of 378 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,177 people. The increase is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 5,413 following examination of ABS' latest ERP data release in June 2024 and an additional 82 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 1,827 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the average across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Claremont Meadows' growth rate of 7.3% since the 2021 census surpassed both the SA4 region (5.5%) and the state, positioning it as a growth leader in the area. Overseas migration contributed approximately 44.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, with natural growth and interstate migration also playing positive roles.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections where applicable, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. These aggregations forecast significant population growth in Claremont Meadows, with an expected increase of 1,736 persons to 2041, reflecting a total increase of 34.4% over the 17-year period.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Claremont Meadows when compared nationally

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Claremont Meadows had around 12 residential properties approved annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 61 homes. As of FY-26, six approvals have been recorded. On average, 14 new residents per year are associated with each home built between FY-21 and FY-25. This demand outpaces supply, potentially driving up prices and increasing buyer competition.

The average dwelling value is $402,000, below regional norms, indicating more affordable housing options. In FY-26, $3.1 million in commercial approvals have been recorded, suggesting the area's residential character. Compared to Greater Sydney, Claremont Meadows has significantly less development activity, 62.0% below the regional average per person. This constrained new construction may reinforce demand and pricing for existing dwellings, though building activity has accelerated recently. Nationally, this is also below average, reflecting the area's maturity and possible planning constraints. New developments consist of 73.0% standalone homes and 27.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving Claremont Meadows' suburban nature while responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs.

This marks a significant shift from existing housing patterns, which are currently 93.0% houses. With around 274 people per dwelling approval, Claremont Meadows indicates a developing market. Future projections estimate Claremont Meadows will add 1,911 residents by 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.
