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.

Clearview has an estimated 4,252 residents. That puts 2,501 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
Based on demographic assessments of ABS statistics for the surrounding region and updated street addresses verified by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Clearview has an estimated residency of 4,252 people as of May 2026. This indicates a minor contraction of 9 people (0.2%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 4,261 residents. The adjustment is calculated from a local population base of 4,228, determined by AreaSearch through the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) combined with 14 validated new addresses added since the Census. This count translates to a density of 2,501 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the highest quarter of all Australian areas reviewed by AreaSearch.
In recent times, population gains were heavily driven by overseas arrivals, who accounted for approximately 80.0% of the overall increases. For future projections, AreaSearch incorporates the ABS and Geoscience Australia forecasts published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 projections are missing or extend past 2032, regional projections by age group from the SA State Government issued in 2023 and grounded in 2021 data are utilized, adjusting them via weighted aggregation from local government to statistical area levels. Looking forward, the suburb of Clearview is anticipated to experience growth outpacing the national median, with projections indicating an expansion of 771 persons by 2041, representing a total rise of 17.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
95 new dwellings have been approved in Clearview over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That is 4.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals indicates that Clearview has maintained an average of approximately 19 new home approvals each year, with 95 residential properties approved over the last 5 financial periods (from FY-21 to FY-25) and a single approval registered in FY-26. Amid local population shrinkage, housing availability has successfully met requirements, yielding a balanced market with healthy buyer options. The new homes carry an average construction value of $351,000, which sits slightly higher than regional averages to reflect an emphasis on build standards. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $19.5 million during the current financial year, showing moderate progress in commercial real estate.
In comparison to the broader Greater Adelaide region, the rate of residential approvals per resident in Clearview is roughly half, placing the locality in the 55th percentile of all examined areas across Australia. The profile of new construction consists of 70.0% detached houses and 30.0% townhouses or multi-unit dwellings, pointing to a growing mix of attached housing alternatives that cater to diverse budgets, ranging from large family residences to compact options. There are roughly 283 residents for every single residential approval, signifying a market characterized by low density. Projecting forward, the suburb of Clearview is expected to see its residency increase by 747 individuals by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations. Construction activity is keeping pace with this projected growth, though prospective home purchasers might experience heightened market competition as the population expands.

2,096 residents of Clearview are employed, from a labour force of 2,164. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 64.1%. 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 3,299, 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
A highly educated resident workforce characterizes Clearview, alongside solid representation in essential services fields and a low unemployment rate of 3.1%, derived from localized statistical datasets. As of March 2026, working residents numbered 2,096, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.7% below the Greater Adelaide average of 3.8%. The labor participation rate is slightly soft at 64.1% compared to 66.6% in Greater Adelaide. Census data indicates that a minor 8.7% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure reflects the potential influence of pandemic-related restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
The community displays a strong specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, employing residents at 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, education & training shows lower representation, claiming only 7.5% of local workers compared to 9.3% across Greater Adelaide. The heavily residential nature of the locality suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat scarce, as shown by comparing the count of working residents against local jobs. Analyses conducted by AreaSearch, drawing from SALM and ABS data aggregated across wider statistical regions, indicate that during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, the labour force in Clearview shrank by 2.3%, employment dropped by 2.7%, and unemployment increased by 0.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Adelaide experienced a 4.2% rise in employment, a 4.0% expansion in the labour force, and a 0.2 percentage point decrease in unemployment. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide additional context regarding potential future job demand in Clearview. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with the local employment structure to gauge likely growth trajectories. While national employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector-by-sector growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to Clearview's current employment composition, local employment is projected to rise by 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. This calculation represents a basic weighted extrapolation intended for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized 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 — 14 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,261 at the 2021 Census → 4,252 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.
