Clearview lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the estimated population of the suburb of Clearview is around 4,734 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 473 people (11.1%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,261 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 4,402 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 14 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,784 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The suburb's 11.1% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the state (9.0%) and Greater Adelaide, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 80.0% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data and for years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. As we examine future population trends, an above median population growth of national areas is projected for the suburb of Clearview, with an expected growth of 1,137 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 21.8% in total over the 17 years.
