Clearview

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 AreaSearch's analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, as of November 2025, the estimated population of the Clearview statistical area (Lv2) is around 4,735. This reflects an increase of 474 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,261 people in the Clearview (SA2). The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimated resident population of 4,402 following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS on June 2024 and an additional 12 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 2,785 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. The Clearview (SA2)'s growth of 11.1% since the 2021 census exceeded both the state's growth rate of 8.7% and the metropolitan area, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Overseas migration contributed approximately 80.0% of overall population gains during recent periods for the Clearview (SA2).

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, the SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category are adopted, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Future population trends project an above median growth for national areas, with the Clearview (SA2) expected to grow by 1,139 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 21.9% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Clearview among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers shows Clearview has received approximately 25 dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years. This totals around 125 homes from FY-20 to FY-25. So far in FY-26, 16 approvals have been recorded. Each year, an average of 3.5 people move to Clearview for each new dwelling built between FY-21 and FY-25.

This indicates significant demand exceeding supply, which typically leads to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction cost value for new dwellings in Clearview is $351,000, higher than regional norms due to quality-focused development. In FY-26, commercial development approvals totalled $19.5 million, suggesting balanced commercial development activity compared to Greater Adelaide.

While Clearview has around two-thirds the rate of new dwelling approvals per person compared to Adelaide, it ranks among the 78th percentile nationally for development activity. Recent periods have seen increased development in Clearview, with new dwellings consisting of 69% standalone homes and 31% townhouses or apartments. This mix offers choices across price ranges, from spacious family homes to more compact options. The area has approximately 148 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market. Future projections estimate Clearview will add around 1,037 residents by 2041. Building activity is keeping pace with growth projections, though heightened competition among buyers may occur as the population grows.

AreaSearch analysis places Clearview well above average for employment performance across multiple indicators

Clearview's workforce is well-educated with significant representation from essential services sectors. The unemployment rate in the area was 2.8% as of September 2025, with an estimated employment growth of 1.8% over the past year, according to AreaSearch's aggregation of statistical area data.

As of that date, 2,457 residents were employed while the unemployment rate was 1.2% lower than Greater Adelaide's rate of 3.9%. Workforce participation in Clearview was fairly standard at 65.4%, compared to Greater Adelaide's 61.7%. The dominant employment sectors among residents included health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Notably, transport, postal & warehousing had an employment share of 1.4 times the regional level, indicating strong specialization in this sector.

Conversely, education & training was under-represented with only 7.5% of Clearview's workforce compared to Greater Adelaide's 9.3%. The area appeared to offer limited local employment opportunities based on Census working population vs resident population data. Over the 12 months to September 2025, employment increased by 1.8% and labour force increased by 1.5%, leading to a fall in unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points, compared to Greater Adelaide's employment growth of 3.0%, labour force expansion of 2.9%, and unemployment rate reduction of 0.1 percentage points. State-level data from 25-Nov shows South Australia's employment grew by 1.19% year-on-year, adding 10,710 jobs, with the state unemployment rate at 4.0%. This compares favourably to the national unemployment rate of 4.3%, with SA's employment growth outpacing the national average of 0.14%. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 suggest that national employment is expected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Applying these industry-specific projections to Clearview's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, although this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localized population projections.
