Sales Detail
Clarinda has an estimated 7,478 residents, up from 7,441 at the 2021 Census. That puts 2,131 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
Clarinda's population is estimated at approximately 7,478 as of May 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations of updated ABS data and verified new residential locations since the Census. Compared to the Census in 2021, when 7,441 people were counted, this represents an addition of 37 people (0.5%). This calculation is based on a resident population estimate of 7,437 from AreaSearch, incorporating the June 2025 ABS ERP figures alongside 55 validated new addresses added since the Census. The suburb of Clarinda has a density of 2,130 persons per square kilometer, a concentration that exceeds typical figures across Australian locales tracked by AreaSearch.
Recent population expansion has been almost exclusively powered by incoming overseas migration. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, using 2022 as a starting point, are applied to each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs 2023 Victoria State Government LGA projections, downscaling growth patterns to the SA2 level through weighted aggregation. Growth trends by age cohort from these models are also extended to all locations for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these SA2 projections, the suburb of Clarinda is anticipated to experience population growth slightly below the national median, increasing by 271 persons by 2041, which corresponds to a 3.1% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
85 new dwellings have been approved in Clarinda over the past five years, an average of 17 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building data indicates that the suburb of Clarinda averages about 17 new residential approvals annually, with 85 homes approved throughout the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 10 approved during the current FY-26. Amid recent population contraction, the supply of housing has remained sufficient to meet local needs, supporting a balanced property market with reasonable options for purchasers, while newly approved builds carry an average construction value of $720,000, pointing to developer interest in high-end projects. Furthermore, commercial permits worth $11.8 million have been logged in the current financial year, showing steady activity in the business sector.
Relative to Greater Melbourne, construction activity per capita in the suburb of Clarinda is at roughly 60% of the metropolitan level, placing the area in the 30th percentile of all locations monitored nationally, which translates to somewhat restricted purchasing options and bolsters demand for established homes. This level of building is also below the nationwide average, reflecting the mature nature of the locality and potential regulatory limits on development. Newly approved residential starts are evenly split, with 50.0% detached dwellings and 50.0% townhouses or apartments. This pivot toward higher-density options offers affordable entry points for first-time buyers, downsizers, and investors. This represents a distinct departure from the current housing stock, where 88.0% houses exist, showing a dwindling supply of vacant land alongside changing housing preferences and a demand for more varied, cost-effective options. The suburb of Clarinda averages about 552 people for every approved residential build, typical of an established community. Forecasts suggest the suburb of Clarinda will add 230 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. At the current pace of construction, housing delivery is expected to easily accommodate this growth, preserving favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way for expansion beyond current projections.

3,733 residents of Clarinda are employed, from a labour force of 3,887. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 60.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,498, 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 Clarinda has a highly skilled labor force, with strong representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of 4.0%, and annual employment growth estimated at 4.1% via AreaSearch statistical data. As of March 2026, there are 3,733 working residents, with unemployment tracking 0.8% below the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, while the labor participation rate of 60.6% is notably lower than the metropolitan benchmark of 70.2%. Census figures show that a substantial 25.6% of working locals operated from home, though this data is likely affected by pandemic restrictions.
The primary sectors employing residents are healthcare & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The local workforce has a notable concentration in manufacturing, matching 1.5 times the regional proportion. In contrast, professional & technical roles are less common, accounting for 8.2% compared to the regional rate of 10.1%. Comparison between local jobs and the resident working population suggests this residential community offers relatively few employment opportunities within its own borders. Analysis from AreaSearch, combining SALM and ABS data drawn from larger statistical regions, indicates that during the year to March 2026, employment rose by 4.1% and the labour force grew by 4.3%, which led to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne experienced employment growth of 2.1%, a labour force increase of 2.3%, and unemployment also rose by 0.2 percentage points. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia, published in May-25, provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Clarinda. These outlooks span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid with Clarinda's current employment structure to project future trends. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though expansion varies considerably across different industry sectors. When these sector-specific expectations are applied to Clarinda's existing job composition, local employment is expected to grow by 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised 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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,441 at the 2021 Census → 7,478 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 (SAL20566). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
