This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Clarendon Vale has an estimated 1,639 residents. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 90% of areas nationally. That puts 858 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
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.

353 residents of Clarendon Vale are employed, from a labour force of 452. Unemployment sits at 21.9%, with participation at 40.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,426, about 87% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The suburb of Clarendon Vale features a workforce that is balanced between white and blue collar jobs, with representation across multiple sectors and an unemployment rate of 21.9%, based on AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026353 residents are employed, while the unemployment rate is 17.5% higher than the Greater Hobart rate of 4.4%, indicating room for growth, and workforce participation is significantly lower (40.0% compared to Greater Hobart's 63.8%). Census data shows that a low 2.6% of residents worked from home, although the influence of Covid-19 lockdowns should be kept in mind.
The top industries employing local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The locality shows a particularly high concentration in transport, postal & warehousing, with employment levels at 2.1 times the regional average. On the other hand, professional & technical services have low representation at 1.0% compared to the regional average of 6.6%. This mostly residential community seems to provide limited job opportunities internally, as shown by the comparison of Census working population to resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, the 12-month period saw the workforce shrink by 10.5% while overall employment dropped by 14.1%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 3.3 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Hobart, where employment fell by 0.1%, the workforce grew by 0.2%, and unemployment increased by 0.3 percentage points. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide further context for future demand in the suburb of Clarendon Vale. These forecasts, which span five and ten-year horizons, have been matched with the local employment structure to project growth trends. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these sector-specific projections to the employment mix in the suburb of Clarendon Vale indicates that local employment should grow by 6.1% over five years and 12.9% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for illustration and does not incorporate local population projections).

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.
