Sales Detail
Clemton Park has an estimated 1,767 residents, up from 1,676 at the 2021 Census — a change of 91 people, or 5.4%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 78.0% of that increase. That puts 4,776 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 evaluations by AreaSearch using updated figures from the ABS and new addresses verified since the Census, Clemton Park's population is estimated at around 1,767 as of May 2026. This represents an increase of 91 people (5.4%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 1,676 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 1,764, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 10 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 4,775 persons per square kilometer, which lies in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch, making land in the area a highly-sought resource.
Clemton Park's 5.4% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (5.2%), marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 78.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. Projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) by the ABS and Geoscience Australia are applied here. For SA2 areas where this data is unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 (using 2021 as the base year) are utilized. Growth rates across different age cohorts from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic forecasts, the suburb of Clemton Park is expected to experience significant population growth that places it in the top quartile of statistical areas nationally, with an estimated rise of 478 persons by 2041, representing a total expansion of 26.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Analysis of ABS building approvals shows that Clemton Park has averaged roughly 2 new dwelling approvals annually, with a total of 13 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 2 so far in FY-26. With an average of 4.8 new residents per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the addition of new housing is failing to keep pace with demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices. New homes are being built at an average value of $451,000, which is moderately higher than regional averages and points to a focus on quality construction.
Furthermore, $62,000 in commercial development approvals was registered this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the neighborhood. Compared to Greater Sydney, Clemton Park has approximately half the level of construction activity per person, ranking it in the 17th percentile of areas evaluated nationwide, which limits options for buyers and sustains interest in established properties. This rate is also below the national average, reflecting the mature nature of the suburb and pointing to potential zoning constraints. Recently approved building projects consist entirely of townhouses or apartments, which provides more affordable entry points and appeals to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend is a clear departure from the historical housing stock, where houses make up 78.0% of properties, indicating a scarcity of developable land and a response to changing lifestyle choices and affordability constraints. The ratio of approximately 880 people per dwelling approval highlights a well-established property market. Looking ahead, Clemton Park is projected to add 475 residents by 2041 according to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. If construction remains at its current pace, the supply of housing will likely fall short of population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support price growth.

991 residents of Clemton Park are employed, from a labour force of 1,025. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 69.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,338, about 76% 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
The local workforce is highly skilled and distributed across various sectors, featuring a low unemployment rate of 3.3% and an annual job growth rate estimated at 2.7% based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. In March 2026, there were 991 employed residents. The unemployment rate is 0.8% below the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation matches the Greater Sydney rate of 69.1%. Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents (48.9%) worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and construction.
The representation of workers in education & training is notably strong, running at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services have a smaller footprint, employing 9.1% of residents compared to 11.5% across the region. The comparison between the working population and the total resident population at the Census suggests this is a predominantly residential area with limited local employment options. Data from the ABS and SALM for the surrounding statistical areas shows that over the 12-month period, employment rose by 2.7% and the labor force expanded by 2.8%, leading to an increase in the unemployment rate of 0.1 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a minor decrease in unemployment. National forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future labor demand for Clemton Park. These projections, spanning five and ten years, have been mapped against the local employment structure to project future trends. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the growth rates vary by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce mix suggests employment for residents could rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.5% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted extrapolation and does not incorporate local population projections.

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 — 10 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,676 at the 2021 Census → 1,767 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL10927). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
