Clearview

Population growth drivers in Clearview are strong compared to national averages based on AreaSearch's ranking of recent, and medium to long-term trends

As per ABS population updates for the broader area and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the estimated population of Clearview suburb as of May 2026 is around 4,252. This figure shows a decrease of 9 people (0.2%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 4,261. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimated resident population of 4,228 in June 2025 and an additional 14 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a population density ratio of 2,501 persons per square kilometer, placing Clearview in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Recent population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration, contributing approximately 80.0% of overall population gains.

Population projections for Clearview are based on ABS/Geoscience Australia estimates released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered and years post-2032, SA State Government's Regional/LGA projections by age category, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted with adjustments made using weighted aggregation methods from LGA to SA2 levels. Future population trends project an above median growth for Clearview, expected to grow by 771 persons to 2041, reflecting a total increase of 17.6% over the 16-year period.

Recent residential development output has been above average within Clearview when compared nationally

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Clearview has experienced approximately 25 dwellings receiving development approval annually over the past five financial years. This totals an estimated 126 homes. So far in FY-26, 22 approvals have been recorded. On average, 1.8 new residents per year per dwelling constructed were reported between FY-21 and FY-25. However, recent data shows this has moderated to 0.7 people per dwelling over the past two financial years.

Development projects averaged $351,000 in construction value during this period. Additionally, $19.5 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year. Compared to Greater Adelaide, Clearview has around two-thirds the rate of new dwelling approvals per person and places among the 79th percentile of areas assessed nationally. New development consists of 67.0% standalone homes and 33.0% townhouses or apartments.

This marks a significant shift from existing housing patterns, which are currently 84.0% houses. With around 142 people per dwelling approval, Clearview shows characteristics of a low density area. Future projections show Clearview adding 747 residents by 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Building activity is keeping pace with growth projections, though buyers may experience heightened competition as the population grows.

AreaSearch assessment positions Clearview ahead of most Australian regions for employment performance

Clearview's workforce is well-educated with significant representation in essential services sectors. The unemployment rate stands at 2.9%, according to AreaSearch's aggregation of statistical area data. As of December 2025, 2,110 residents are employed, with an unemployment rate of 0.9% lower than Greater Adelaide's 3.8%.

Workforce participation is similar to Greater Adelaide's 66.0%. Census responses indicate that only 8.7% of residents work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. The dominant employment sectors include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. Notably, transport, postal & warehousing is particularly strong with an employment share 1.4 times the regional level.

Conversely, education & training is under-represented at 7.5% compared to Greater Adelaide's 9.3%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited local employment opportunities, as suggested by the count of Census working population versus resident population. Over the 12 months to December 2025, labour force levels decreased by 2.3%, with employment decreasing by 2.2%, while unemployment remained essentially unchanged. In contrast, Greater Adelaide saw employment grow by 4.2% and labour force expand by 3.9%, with a fall in unemployment of 0.3 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 provide insight into potential future demand within Clearview. These projections suggest that national employment should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with growth rates varying significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Clearview's employment mix indicates that local employment should increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localised population projections.
