DemographicsPopulation Growth in Clontarf (NSW)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Clontarf (NSW) has an estimated 1,720 residents, down from 1,746 at the 2021 Census — a change of 26 people, or 1.5%. The population has thinned by an average 0.8% a year over five years, slower than 96% of areas nationally. That puts 2,000 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 releases for the wider region and new address entries validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Clontarf (NSW) has an estimated occupancy of approximately 1,720 residents as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 26 people (1.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 1,746 people. The shift is calculated from the resident headcount of 1,720, computed by AreaSearch through analysing the latest ERP figures published by the ABS (June 2025) along with a single validated new address since the Census date.

This population level corresponds to a density of 2,000 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio observed across national areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Inflow from abroad was the main driver of local population gains, accounting for approximately 78.0% of recent growth. AreaSearch applies demographic projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 territories lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government's 2022 release with a 2021 baseline are implemented. Age cohort expansion rates from these combined sources are also projected onto all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. In light of these anticipated demographic developments, growth is projected to rank in the lower quartile of statistical regions nationwide, with the suburb of Clontarf (NSW) expected to add 26 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall rise of 1.5% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Clontarf (NSW)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

According to AreaSearch's evaluation of ABS building permits allocated from statistical division records, Clontarf typically sees approximately 2 new residential builds approved annually, amounting to an estimated 10 dwellings over the course of the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, no approvals have been registered. Because the area has experienced a shrinking population, residential supply has kept pace with demand, resulting in a balanced market offering solid options for purchasers. Furthermore, commercial approvals valued at $103,000 have been logged during the current financial year, representing very minor non-residential development.

Relative to Greater Sydney, Clontarf displays a low volume of construction (51.0% under the metropolitan per capita average). This limited supply of new dwellings generally acts to reinforce demand and valuation for established homes. The rate also sits below national benchmarks, indicating a mature residential landscape and potential zoning limits. Modern building activity consists of 67.0% standalone houses and 33.0% semi-detached or multi-unit dwellings, pointing to a growing selection of medium-density choices that diversify options across different price points, ranging from conventional family properties to more economical compact designs. This marks a clear departure from the historical housing stock (which stands at 95.0% standalone houses), indicating a declining volume of vacant buildable land alongside evolving resident preferences and a call for more varied, accessible housing formats. Looking ahead, the local population is projected to expand by 26 residents up to 2041 (calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release). Given ongoing construction trends, the addition of new housing should easily accommodate demand, sustaining favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially underpinning expansion that outpaces current demographic 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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,746 at the 2021 Census → 1,720 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 (SAL10934). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Clontarf (NSW) suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Clontarf (NSW) page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Clontarf (NSW) data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (May 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
