Sales Detail
Clinton (Qld) has an estimated 6,867 residents, up from 6,170 at the 2021 Census — a change of 697 people, or 11.3%. Growth has averaged 1.9% a year over five years, faster than 75% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 41.0% of that increase. That puts 1,102 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 evaluations of ABS demographic revisions for the wider territory, along with novel locations verified by AreaSearch after the Census, the resident count for the suburb of Clinton (Qld) is projected to be approximately 6,867 in May 2026. This represents an addition of 697 residents (11.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a total of 6,170 individuals. This shift is calculated from a resident base of 6,857, determined by AreaSearch through analyzing the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus an extra 3 verified new locations following the Census date.
Such a population size results in a density of 1,102 residents per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical norms observed across places analyzed by AreaSearch. The 11.3% expansion in the suburb of Clinton (Qld) since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (7.4%) and the SA3 territory, positioning it as a local growth standout. Demographic gains were mostly fueled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 41.0% of the population rise during recent intervals, though all components including interstate and overseas relocation recorded positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia long-term projections for each SA2 district, published in 2024 using 2022 as the starting point. For SA2 territories lacking this information, and for periods beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government for SA2 regions, published in 2023 and grounded in 2021 statistics, are implemented. These state-level forecasts do not offer breakdowns by age groups; consequently, where applied, AreaSearch distributes age cohort growth proportionally in accordance with the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (published in 2023, using 2022 data) for each age bracket. Factoring in these expected demographic transitions, population expansion is projected to exceed the median for non-metropolitan locations, with the suburb of Clinton (Qld) expected to add 1,541 residents by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level forecasts, representing a total rise of 22.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
128 new dwellings have been approved in Clinton (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 21, broadly in line with 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS residential building approvals distributed from local data, the suburb of Clinton (Qld) has averaged about 25 approved new dwellings yearly, totaling approximately 128 residences over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 20 approvals have been documented. With a historical average of 4.8 net new residents migrating to the area for every completed home during the past 5 financial years (running from FY-21 to FY-25), construction volume is falling well short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and creates upward pressure on pricing, with new homes built at an average estimated cost of $419,000.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $8.3 million this financial year, showing a subdued focus on business infrastructure development. Relative to Rest of Qld, the suburb of Clinton (Qld) exhibits a slightly higher rate of construction (24.0% higher than the regional per-person average over the 5 year timeframe), providing a balance of options for buyers while supporting existing home values, even though building pace has slowed down lately. Furthermore, recent residential building activity has consisted entirely of standalone houses, preserving the suburban character of the community with a concentration of spacious properties targeted at families. With approximately 680 residents per approval, the suburb of Clinton (Qld) presents as a fully developed, stable community. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Clinton (Qld) will add 1,531 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release). Should the current pace of building persist, housing additions may fall short of population gains, which could heighten rivalry among purchasers and underpin robust price appreciation.

Gladstone Project
Powerlink Queensland's Gladstone Project is a critical multi-stage transmission network reinforcement program to ensure electricity reliability and security as the Gladstone Power Station prepares for anticipated closure. The project supports industrial decarbonisation and the integration of renewables in the Central Queensland area. Stage 1 involves the Calvale to Calliope River 275kV transmission line and substation expansions. Stage 2 includes the Bouldercombe to Larcom Creek line and the proposed new Gladstone West Substation. The Final Assessment Report was submitted in June 2025, with Stage 1 main construction works expected to commence in mid-2026 pending formal approvals.
Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET)
Privately funded coal export terminal at Golding Point within the Port of Gladstone. Stage 1 delivers 27 Mtpa capacity via rail receival, a 5.6 km covered overland conveyor to stockyards, and an offshore wharf ~2 km from shore with a single berth and shiploader.

3,547 residents of Clinton (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 3,718. Unemployment sits at 4.6%, with participation at 68.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 5,703, about 83% 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 suburb of Clinton (Qld) features a balanced workforce distributed between professional and trade roles, with a prominent industrial and manufacturing base, alongside an unemployment rate of 4.6%, according to AreaSearch aggregations of local statistical boundaries. As of March 2026, 3,547 local citizens are employed, with the jobless rate tracking 0.7% higher than the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, while participation in the workforce is standard (68.7% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld). Census records show that a minor 3.8% of employed residents worked from home, though the influence of pandemic restrictions during that period should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are manufacturing, healthcare & social assistance, and retail trade. The locality displays a particularly high concentration in manufacturing, where employment rates are 2.8 times the regional average. Conversely, healthcare & social assistance accounts for only 11.3% of the local workforce, which is lower than the Regional Qld benchmark of 16.1%. The highly residential nature of the suburb of Clinton (Qld) suggests local employment opportunities are limited, as shown by the comparison of the Census working population against the resident count. AreaSearch evaluated data from SALM and ABS, which were compiled from larger statistical regions, for the period ending March 2026 and found that the labour force shrank by 4.3% while employment dropped by 2.3%, leading to a 1.9 percentage point decline in the unemployment rate. Meanwhile, Regional Qld saw employment grow by 0.1% and the labour force expand by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts in May-25 that can help clarify anticipated demand in Clinton. These forecasts span five and ten year intervals and were overlaid with local employment data to project growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific estimates are applied to Clinton’s current employment structure, local employment is expected to grow by 5.3% over five years and by 11.8% over ten years, though this is a basic weighting exercise for illustrative use and does not factor in localized population changes.

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 — 3 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,170 at the 2021 Census → 6,867 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.
