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 (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.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
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.

Seaforth Village Masterplan & Redevelopment
A proposed mixed-use village centre redevelopment of the existing Seaforth shopping strip, featuring a new full-line supermarket, specialty retail, dining precinct, medical centre, childcare facility, and improved public domain with laneways and plazas. Developed by Celeste Property, the project aims to transform the ageing centre into a contemporary neighbourhood hub serving the Northern Beaches community.
Totem Road Precinct - Balgowlah Heights
Boutique collection of 28 luxury townhouses and apartments in Balgowlah Heights by Pallas Group, with completion due mid-2026. The project consists of two separate residential buildings.
Balgowlah Village Shopping Centre Refurbishment
Internal refurbishment and tenant remix program at the former Stockland Balgowlah shopping centre. Stockland sold the 12,802 square metre centre to private developer Revelop in March 2024 for 155 million dollars and the asset was rebranded Balgowlah Village following a community naming vote. Revelop has publicly ruled out site redevelopment, including any additional residential tower, and confirmed the strategy is to refresh the interior, refurbish public areas and introduce new fresh food and dining tenancies.Revelop and the centre's own channels describe the transformation as well underway, with new food and beverage tenants such as The Kitchen launching promotions through mid-2026. The centre forms the retail podium of an existing mixed use precinct that already includes 240 apartments above the shopping floors, a car park and Fitness First Platinum gym, and is anchored by Coles, Harbord Growers Market and around 70 specialty stores. An earlier major expansion development application lodged under previous owner Invesco was refused by the Sydney North Planning Panel in 2021 due to traffic, building height and setback concerns and is no longer being progressed.

It includes a central landscaped 'Tidal Garden' and features like basement parking.
889 residents of Clontarf (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 927. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 64.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,457, about 85% 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 characterized by high levels of education, with professional services representing a major sector, an unemployment rate of 4.1%, and stable employment patterns over the previous year, according to AreaSearch's compiled regional statistics. As of March 2026, there are 889 employed residents, matching the Greater Sydney unemployment rate of 4.1%, while the participation rate is slightly soft at 64.2% compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census records show that a high proportion of 63.0% of local workers performed their duties from home, though this may reflect temporary pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment fields for residents are professional & technical services, financial & insurance activities, and healthcare & social assistance. Local workers are heavily concentrated in the professional & technical services category, representing 2.0 times the proportion seen across the broader metropolitan area. Conversely, public administration & safety is underrepresented, employing only 1.4% of the local workforce compared to 5.7% throughout Greater Sydney. The highly residential character of the locality limits local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of Census workers against resident labor. Based on AreaSearch's compilation of SALM and ABS data for the surrounding statistical zones, the total labor force grew by 1.0% during the twelve months leading to March 2026, while total employment fell by 0.4%, leading to a rise in unemployment of 1.4 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Sydney recorded employment growth of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, with a tiny reduction in joblessness. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on future demand patterns. These five and ten-year forecasts have been aligned with the local industry breakdown to project potential hiring trends. Although nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry-specific projections to the local occupation profile suggests employment could rise by 7.6% over five years and 14.9% over ten years (note that this weighting is an illustrative extrapolation and does not incorporate localized population adjustments).

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.
