Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

According to the analysis of population adjustments from the ABS for the wider region, alongside recent address checks performed by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Clarendon Vale has an estimated population of approximately 1,639 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 4 residents (0.2%) relative to the 2021 Census, which recorded 1,635 individuals. The change is calculated from the resident population of 1,598, which was estimated by AreaSearch following an evaluation of the June 2025 ABS ERP data release, plus an additional 15 validated new addresses added since the Census date.

This population size corresponds to a density of 858 persons per square kilometer, a figure that is generally consistent with averages across areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Throughout the past ten years, the suburb of Clarendon Vale has shown steady growth trends with a compound annual growth rate of 2.3%, exceeding the rate of the SA3 area. Gains in the local population were mostly driven by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 70.0% of the total growth during recent times, though other elements such as natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch implements the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, and to project age group growth patterns after the year 2032, the Tasmanian State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2022 using a 2021 base year are applied, adjusting them via a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Looking ahead to future population patterns, growth is projected to exceed the median of areas analyzed by AreaSearch, with the locality expected to add 341 individuals by 2041 under the aggregated SA2-level projections, which is an overall increase of 18.3% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Clarendon Vale

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

26 new dwellings have been approved in Clarendon Vale over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 3.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Based on AreaSearch assessments of ABS building approvals distributed from statistical area statistics, the suburb of Clarendon Vale has averaged about 5 new home approvals annually, with approximately 26 residential properties approved over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 2 so far during FY-26. Given that an average of 1.4 individuals per year moved to the area for every home constructed during the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), demand and supply appear balanced, leading to steady conditions in the market, though recent statistics indicate this has shifted to -30.5 individuals per dwelling over the last 2 financial years, pointing to a better balance between supply and demand.

Newly built homes carry an average construction cost of $393,000, which demonstrates that developers are focusing on the higher-end market segment with premium properties. There has also been $542,000 in commercial approvals during the current financial year, which points to a predominantly residential orientation. In comparison to Greater Hobart, the suburb of Clarendon Vale displays about half the volume of residential building approvals per resident, placing it in the 10th percentile of all localities evaluated nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains interest in established properties. This rate is also below the national average, indicating a mature market and highlighting potential planning constraints. Furthermore, recent construction approvals consist entirely of detached houses, preserving the established low density feel of the area with a focus on family properties that appeal to those wanting space. The estimated ratio of 1614 people in the locality for each dwelling approval highlights the quiet, low-scale nature of development in the area. Future projections indicate that the suburb of Clarendon Vale will add 300 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current building rates persist, the addition of new housing may fall short of population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support stronger growth in property values.

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 — 15 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,635 at the 2021 Census → 1,639 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 (SAL60115). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Clarendon Vale suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Clarendon Vale 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 Clarendon Vale 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 (May 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.
