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.

Clear Island Waters has an estimated 4,570 residents, up from 4,395 at the 2021 Census — a change of 175 people, or 4.0%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. That puts 1,039 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
Clear Island Waters has a population calculated to be approximately 4,570 as of May 2026, according to evaluations of ABS population updates for the wider region and new address lists confirmed by AreaSearch after the Census. This represents a rise of 175 individuals (4.0%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 4,395 residents. The figures are derived from a resident headcount of 4,570, projected by AreaSearch after assessing the June 2025 ABS ERP figures alongside one validated new address added after the Census date. This population size corresponds to a density ratio of 1,038 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical values calculated across other locations studied by AreaSearch.
In recent times, the primary driver of population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 97.0% of the overall gains. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 base year, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. In instances where SA2 areas lack this coverage, and for any projections past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are substituted. Because the Queensland state projections exclude breakdowns by age groups, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using proportional weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, the area is expected to experience population expansion slightly below the median for regional locations nationwide. Aggregated SA2 projections indicate an increase of 361 individuals by 2041, representing a total expansion of 7.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential building activity is minimal in the suburb of Clear Island Waters, with only 2 home approvals recorded annually, accumulating to 12 over the preceding five years. Such low volumes of construction are typical for rural locations where housing needs remain light and building activity is naturally constrained by local market demand and capacity of infrastructure. Because the sample size is so small, individual building developments can have a major effect on yearly growth rates and comparison metrics. The suburb of Clear Island Waters registers far less construction activity than the Rest of Qld, with development patterns also falling well below national norms.
Additionally, all recent construction projects have consisted of standalone single-family homes, preserving the rural feel of the locality and its focus on open space. Builders are currently focusing more on standalone houses than historical metrics suggest (64.0% at the Census), showing a steady demand for family dwellings despite broader trends toward high-density living. An average of about 9103 people per approved dwelling signals that the area is established and mature. Demographic projections point to the suburb of Clear Island Waters gaining 361 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. If current building rates do not accelerate, the supply of homes could fall behind population growth, potentially heightening competition among buyers and supporting real estate price increases.

2,144 residents of Clear Island Waters are employed, from a labour force of 2,188. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 56.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,899, about 85% 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 Clear Island Waters boasts a highly educated workforce with strong representation in professional services, an unemployment rate of only 2.0%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.1% over the past year, according to AreaSearch regional aggregations. Working residents numbered 2,144 in March 2026, with unemployment sitting 1.9% below the 3.9% rate seen in Regional Qld. However, participation in the labor force is low, registering at 56.3% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census responses show a moderate 20.9% of local employees worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction measures.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and professional & technical fields. The locality displays a clear specialization in professional & technical services, with its employment share reaching 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, agricultural, forestry & fishing sectors are underrepresented, engaging just 0.2% of the local workforce compared to 4.5% in Regional Qld. The local market appears to offer relatively few jobs, as shown by comparing the Census count of jobs within the area against the resident workforce. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from surrounding regions, employment rose by 3.1% during the 12 months ending March 2026, while the labor force expanded by 3.2%, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same span, Regional Qld recorded job growth of 0.1% and labor force growth of 0.3%, with unemployment rising by 0.1 percentage points. National employment outlooks published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on expected demand patterns in the suburb of Clear Island Waters. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been aligned with the local workforce makeup to calculate potential trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral projections against the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 7.0% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted extrapolation and does not incorporate local demographic forecasts.

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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,395 at the 2021 Census → 4,570 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 (SAL30618). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
