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
Clearview has an estimated 4,250 residents. That puts 2,500 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
Evaluating recent ABS demographic releases alongside post-Census address validations by AreaSearch, the population of the suburb of Clearview is approximately 4,250 as of Aug 2026. This represents a contraction of 11 people (0.3%) from the 4,261 residents recorded at the 2021 Census. AreaSearch arrived at this figure from an ERP baseline of 4,228 following the ABS release in June 2025, combined with 13 post-Census validated new addresses. With a population density of 2,500 persons per square kilometer, the suburb places in the upper quartile of nationally assessed regions. The primary demographic driver has been overseas migration, accounting for roughly 80.0% of recent population additions.
Demographic projections for the suburb of Clearview utilize the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 series based on 2022 benchmarks. Where unmapped or extending past 2032, figures incorporate the SA State Government's 2023 age-cohort projections (built on 2021 data) via weighted LGA-to-SA2 aggregation. Demographic projections indicate above-median growth relative to national benchmarks, with the suburb of Clearview projected to expand by 763 persons to 2041 across aggregated SA2 modeling, equating to an overall gain of 17.4% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
92 new dwellings have been approved in Clearview over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 3.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, 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
Examining ABS building approval statistics across statistical areas, AreaSearch figures show that Clearview averages roughly 18 residential building approvals annually, generating an estimated total of 92 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 1 approvals have been authorized. Because local headcount contracted during the recent period, construction has generally met market requirements, providing adequate options for purchasers while yielding an average build value of $389,000. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $19.5 million during the ongoing financial year, indicating moderate commercial construction activity. Clearview exhibits comparatively subdued residential construction when assessed against Greater Adelaide, running 55.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark.
Such low building volumes tend to underpin pricing and sustain buyer demand for existing stock. Building rates also trail national levels, pointing to a mature locality and potential development bottlenecks. Current construction consists of 67.0% detached dwellings alongside 33.0% medium and high-density housing, expanding the range of medium-density stock across multiple budgets, from standalone homes to economical alternatives. This marks a notable shift from the established environment (presently 84.0% houses), driven by limited land availability, modern lifestyle preferences, and buyer budgets. An established residential environment is further evidenced by a ratio of approximately 4250 people per dwelling approval. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Clearview is on track to gain 741 residents by 2041. Should current construction volumes persist, housing supply could find it difficult to keep pace with demographic expansion, potentially intensifying market competition and underpinning property prices.

2,092 residents of Clearview are employed, from a labour force of 2,165. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 63.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,296, about 78% 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
Clearview possesses a highly qualified workforce with considerable participation across essential industries and a modest jobless rate of 3.4%, according to statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,092, maintaining an unemployment level 0.5% lower than the 3.8% recorded across Greater Adelaide, while the participation rate lagged slightly at 63.7% compared to 66.4% across the broader metro area. Census figures indicate that just 8.7% of working residents performed their duties from home, an outcome potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
A notable industry concentration exists in transport, postal & warehousing, where local representation reaches 1.4 times regional levels. Conversely, education & training accounts for a smaller footprint, employing 7.5% of workers against 9.3% across the wider region. As reflected by the variance between the Census working population and resident workforce, this predominantly residential neighborhood generates relatively few local jobs. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM statistical data shows that across the 12-month period, the local labor pool shrank by 2.4% and total employment fell by 2.8%, leading to an increase of 0.4 percentage points in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Adelaide posted a 4.2% expansion in employment and a 4.0% rise in its workforce, accompanied by a 0.2 percentage point drop. Further context on local labor trends is provided by national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. Projected national workforce growth stands at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories vary widely by sector. Mapping these industry projections against the local job profile suggests Clearview employment could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (note that this extrapolation uses simple weighting for context without integrating local population 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 — 13 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,261 at the 2021 Census → 4,250 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 Aug 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.
