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
Clontarf (Moreton Bay - Qld) has an estimated 8,924 residents, up from 8,446 at the 2021 Census — a change of 478 people, or 5.7%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 57.0% of that increase. That puts 1,399 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 analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Clontarf (Moreton Bay - Qld)'s population is estimated at around 8,924 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 478 people (5.7%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 8,446 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 8,918, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 39 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,398 persons per square kilometer, which is above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 56.99999999999999% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. As we examine future population trends, an above median population growth of national statistical areas is projected, with the suburb of Clontarf (Moreton Bay - Qld) expected to grow by 1,182 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting with an increase of 13.2% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
111 new dwellings have been approved in Clontarf (Moreton Bay - Qld) over the past five years, an average of 22 a year. That places the area in the 51st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 21 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 81% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 15, 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
Property approvals from ABS building data show that Clontarf records approximately 22 residential development permits annually, accumulating to around 111 properties over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 14 approvals have been logged. With an average of 3.2 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand significantly outpaces construction, commonly boosting home values and buyer pressure, while local dwellings are built with a mean estimated cost of $271,000, which aligns with regional averages. Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $6.4 million this financial year, highlighting that local activity remains overwhelmingly residential.
In comparison to Greater Brisbane, building activity in Clontarf is quiet, sitting 69.0% below the metropolitan average per resident. This restricted volume of new projects typically supports values and interest for established houses. The rate is similarly lower than the nationwide baseline, indicating a mature market environment with prospective planning limitations. Residential projects consist of 81.0% single houses and 19.0% apartments or townhouses, maintaining a suburban feel with a focus on free-standing residences that appeal to buyers wanting space. An average of 379 residents per approval indicates a mature market profile. Long-term forecasts suggest Clontarf will welcome 1,176 additional residents by 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Should construction persist at its current pace, additions to the housing stock may fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying buyer competition and helping drive stronger capital appreciation.

4,584 residents of Clontarf (Moreton Bay - Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 4,764. Unemployment sits at 3.8%, with participation at 63.1%. 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. 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 evenly distributed between professional and manual roles, with significant representation in vital community services, an unemployment rate of only 3.8%, and a 4.8% expansion in local jobs over the previous year based on aggregated region-level data. As of March 2026, 4,584 local citizens are employed, which is 0.5% below the metropolitan rate of 4.3% in Greater Brisbane, though labor participation is notably lower at 63.1% relative to the Greater Brisbane benchmark of 70.4%. Census records show a moderate 14.6% of the workforce worked from their homes, though pandemic lockdown circumstances should be taken into account.
The top industry sectors for local workers are medical services and social care, construction, and retail trade. The representation in construction is especially strong, sitting at 1.5 times the regional rate. Conversely, the professional and scientific services sector is underrepresented, employing 5.1% of working residents compared to 8.9% throughout the wider region. While local jobs are available within the district, Census commuting figures indicate a substantial proportion of the working populace travels to other areas for their jobs. According to data from SALM and the ABS analyzed across the wider statistical district, the twelve months leading to March 2026 saw employment expand by 4.8% and the active workforce rise by 5.0%, resulting in a 0.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This compares to Greater Brisbane, where employment grew by 3.2%, the labor force expanded by 3.4%, and the jobless rate climbed by 0.1 percentage points. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a guide for future demand in Clontarf. These five and ten-year forecasts have been combined with the local employment structure to project local opportunities. Although nationwide employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by industry. Weighting these projections against the local industry mix suggests employment among residents should increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, assuming local trends follow national patterns by sector.

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 — 39 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,446 at the 2021 Census → 8,924 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 (SAL30629). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
