This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Clarinda - Oakleigh South stands at approximately 11,803 as of Aug 2026. Relative to the 11,554 individuals recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents a net addition of 249 people (2.2%). This figure is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 11,741 along with 159 validated new addresses registered following the Census. Consequently, population density is estimated at 1,867 persons per square kilometer, outpacing the typical national benchmark in AreaSearch's coverage. Recent population expansion in the locality has been almost entirely sustained by overseas migration inflows.
SA2 projections published in 2024 by the ABS and Geoscience Australia (utilising 2022 as a base year) serve as AreaSearch's primary modeling foundation. For locations missing from this series, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections are utilised via weighted growth aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries, with age-specific cohort rates applied across all regions for the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Forward-looking forecasts indicate population expansion will position the area within the bottom quartile nationally, generating an anticipated increase of 364 persons by 2041 against the latest annual ERP figures, corresponding to an overall 16-year growth rate of 2.6%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
153 new dwellings have been approved in Clarinda - Oakleigh South over the past five years, an average of 30 a year. That is 2.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 55% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals across Clarinda - Oakleigh South average approximately 30 dwellings each year, totaling 153 residential permits over the 5 financial years from FY-22 to FY-26. Because local population contracted over the preceding timeframe, residential supply has kept pace with demand, maintaining balanced conditions alongside sound buyer opportunities, with newly constructed dwellings carrying an average build value of $563,000—a level modestly higher than the wider regional average that indicates a lean toward premium construction. Concurrently, commercial building permits have reached $13.1 million during the current financial year, pointing to steady non-residential development.
On a per-capita basis, residential construction volume in Clarinda - Oakleigh South sits at roughly three-quarters of the Greater Melbourne rate and places in the 33rd percentile across the nation, constraining buyer selection and reinforcing interest in existing properties. This underperformance relative to nationwide averages underscores the established character of the suburb and points to potential planning constraints. Approvals for new residential construction comprise 55.0% separate houses and 45.0% attached dwellings or apartments, demonstrating an increasing supply of medium-density formats that diversify price points between conventional standalone residences and lower-cost alternatives. This represents a clear departure from the established profile of local housing (which currently consists of 90.0% standalone houses), highlighting dwindling supplies of greenfield/infill parcels alongside shifts in lifestyle preferences and requirements for varied, affordable housing. An average of approximately 477 residents per approved dwelling reflects an established, mature marketplace. Long-term forecasts anticipate Clarinda - Oakleigh South will gain 302 inhabitants by 2041 relative to AreaSearch's latest quarterly figures. If current building volumes persist, dwelling additions appear well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, fostering healthy purchasing conditions while providing room to accommodate growth beyond baseline expectations.

6,002 residents of Clarinda - Oakleigh South are employed, from a labour force of 6,213. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 62.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,560, about 89% 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 Clarinda - Oakleigh South area features a highly skilled labor pool, with professional services being a major component and an unemployment rate of just 3.4%, alongside an estimated employment growth of 4.3% during the previous year. By March 2026, 6,002 individuals were employed, marking an unemployment rate that sat 1.4% lower than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%, while workforce participation remained notably behind at 62.0% versus Greater Melbourne's 70.1%. Census data indicates that 27.0% of residents worked from home, a figure that should be viewed alongside the lasting effects of Covid-19 lockdowns.
The principal sectors employing local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. Notably, manufacturing exhibits strong concentration locally, accounting for a proportion 1.4 times the regional figure. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 8.4% of resident workers, trailing the 10.1% regional benchmark. Given the discrepancy between resident workers and local employment counted at the Census, this predominantly suburban community generates comparatively few jobs within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch's examination of ABS and SALM releases, the twelve months to March 2026 saw employment climb by 4.3% while the local workforce expanded by 4.4%, translating into an uptick of 0.1 percentage points in unemployment. Across Greater Melbourne over the identical window, jobs grew 2.1%, labor force numbers rose 2.3%, and unemployment lifted by 0.2 percentage points. Further context regarding prospective local workforce requirements is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia's national projections from Mar-26. Projected across five- and ten-year horizons and matched to the area's industry mix, these metrics illustrate expected growth trajectories. Nationwide employment is projected to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% across ten years, though sector-by-sector rates vary substantially. Mapping these national trajectories against Clarinda - Oakleigh South's existing job profile suggests local resident employment would expand by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this represents a proportional weighted baseline for illustrative purposes and excludes local demographic modeling).

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 — 159 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (11,554 at the 2021 Census → 11,803 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (212041309). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
