Sales Detail
Clovelly Park has an estimated 3,254 residents, up from 3,126 at the 2021 Census — a change of 128 people, or 4.1%. That puts 3,287 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 Clovelly Park's population is estimated at around 3,254 as of Aug 26. This reflects an increase of 128 people (4.1%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 3,126 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 3,188, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 6 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 3,286 persons per square kilometer, placing it in the upper quartile relative to national locations assessed by AreaSearch.
Over the past decade, Clovelly Park has demonstrated resilient growth patterns with a 1.2% compound annual growth rate, outpacing the SA4 region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 87.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. Population modelling utilizes ABS/Geoscience Australia 2024 SA2 projections based on 2022 benchmarks, supplemented for unmapped zones and horizons beyond 2032 by the SA State Government's 2023 age-cohort projections (2021 base) aggregated from LGA down to SA2 divisions via weighted growth methods. In terms of future growth trajectories, the suburb of Clovelly Park is expected to surpass the national median across statistical areas, with aggregated SA2 figures forecasting a gain of 538 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative rise of 14.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
58 new dwellings have been approved in Clovelly Park over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 4.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 23, running ahead of 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch shows Clovelly Park averaging roughly 11 residential approvals per year, amounting to 58 homes across the last 5 financial years. The tally for FY-25 to date stands at 23 approvals. With roughly 1 new residents per year added per approved dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, residential development has kept pace with or exceeded local demand, widening options for purchasers and facilitating growth above baseline forecasts, with average dwelling construction costs running at $398,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $13.0 million during this financial year, highlighting solid non-residential investment.
Relative to Greater Adelaide, per-capita residential construction in Clovelly Park tracks at around 60%, placing the suburb in the 73rd percentile nationally as building rates strengthen. Contemporary approvals are divided between standalone houses (36.0%) and medium-to-high density formats like townhouses or apartments (64.0%). This transition toward compact living creates accessible pathways for first-home purchasers, downsizers, and property investors. It also marks a departure from the existing built form of 69.0% houses, reflecting land availability constraints alongside rising demand for diversified, cost-effective dwelling formats. A ratio of roughly 159 people per dwelling approval characterizes the locality's low density urban profile. Projections indicate that Clovelly Park will add 472 residents through to 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If residential construction remains at current rates, incoming dwelling supply may trail population growth, which could heighten buyer competition and place upward pressure on property values.

1,809 residents of Clovelly Park are employed, from a labour force of 1,898. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 71.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,686, 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
Clovelly Park features an educated local labor pool with substantial representation across public and essential services, accompanied by a 4.7% unemployment rate and 4.3% annual job growth as compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,809, while unemployment sat 0.9% higher than the Greater Adelaide figure of 3.8%. Labor force participation reached an elevated 71.9%, outperforming Greater Adelaide's 66.4%. Census figures recorded 10.4% working from home, a metric potentially shaped by Covid-19 restrictions. The primary industry sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, along with education & training.
Local employment concentration is especially pronounced in health care & social assistance, where the suburb's workforce share is 1.4 times the regional proportion. Conversely, construction employment accounts for 6.1%, trailing the regional benchmark of 8.7%. The comparison between resident numbers and local working population counts suggests that this largely residential enclave provides a constrained volume of jobs within its borders. Data from ABS and SALM synthesized by AreaSearch demonstrates that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment advanced by 4.3% while the labor force expanded by 3.5%, lowering the unemployment rate by 0.7 percentage points. Across Greater Adelaide over the same timeframe, employment expanded by 4.2%, the labor pool grew by 4.0%, and unemployment dipped by 0.2 percentage points. Broader structural insights from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections outline anticipated workforce growth across five-year (6.6%) and ten-year (13.7%) timelines. When mapped against Clovelly Park's occupational profile via simple weighted industry extrapolation, local employment is projected to expand by 7.1% over five years and 14.8% over ten years, independent of local 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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,126 at the 2021 Census → 3,254 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 Aug 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.
