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, the population of the Claremont Meadows statistical area (Lv2) is estimated at approximately 5,637 people. This figure reflects an increase of 460 individuals since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 5,177 people in the area. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 5,497 following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2024), along with an additional 82 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,854 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Claremont Meadows (SA2) experienced an 8.9% growth in population from the 2021 Census until November 2025, surpassing both the SA4 region's growth rate of 6.3% and the state's growth rate during this period. This increase was primarily driven by overseas migration, which contributed approximately 44.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

However, 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. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, 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. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the Claremont Meadows (SA2) is forecasted to experience significant population growth in the top quartile of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch. By 2041, the area is expected to grow by approximately 1,720 persons, reflecting an increase of 32.2% in total 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 FY26, seven approvals have been recorded. On average, 11.4 new residents per year have been associated with every home built between FY21 and FY25. This demand outpaces supply, typically putting upward pressure on prices and increasing competition among buyers.

New dwellings are developed at an average expected construction cost of $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, 53.0% 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 561 people per dwelling approval, demonstrating an established market. Looking ahead, AreaSearch's latest quarterly estimate projects Claremont Meadows to grow by 1,813 residents through to 2041. Should current construction levels persist, housing supply could lag population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and underpinning price growth.
