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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Clarinda - Oakleigh South is approximately 11,803 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 249 individuals (2.2%) from the 11,554 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 11,741 from June 2025 alongside 156 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density is 1,867 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical average for national sites evaluated by AreaSearch. Recent population gains were almost entirely fueled by overseas migration, which served as the primary source of growth.
AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 with a baseline year of 2022. For any SA2 locations lacking this data, AreaSearch utilizes the 2023 Regional/LGA projections from the VIC State Government, adjusting them through a weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 tiers. The age group growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic patterns, growth is projected to align with the lower quartile of statistical areas analyzed by AreaSearch, with the district forecast to add 382 residents by 2041 based on recent annual ERP statistics, representing an overall increase of 2.7% over the 16 years.

Detail
Clarinda - Oakleigh South averages approximately 30 residential development approvals annually, representing a total of 150 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 34 approvals have been logged. Although the local population has decreased recently, this level of construction activity is considered relatively sufficient, which is beneficial for prospective buyers. The average value of these new builds is $443,000, which is higher than regional averages and points to a focus on quality. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $13.1 million during this financial year, showing moderate commercial expansion.
Compared to Greater Melbourne, Clarinda - Oakleigh South has about two-thirds the volume of new residential approvals per resident, ranking in the 31st percentile of assessed areas nationally. This creates relatively limited options for buyers, which supports demand for existing properties. This rate of development is also below the national average, reflecting the established character of the suburb and pointing to possible planning constraints. Recent building activity consists of 58.0% detached houses and 42.0% townhouses or apartments, showing a growing mix of attached dwellings that provide options across different price points, ranging from large family homes to smaller, more affordable properties. This is a clear shift from the current housing stock (90.0% houses), indicating a decline in available land for development and reflecting changing lifestyle preferences and the demand for more varied, affordable housing. With approximately 544 residents for every residential approval, Clarinda - Oakleigh South displays a mature market. Projections indicate that Clarinda - Oakleigh South will add 320 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Looking at current construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy this demand, providing favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current forecasts.

6,002 residents of Clarinda - Oakleigh South are employed, from a labour force of 6,213. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 61.9%. 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 workforce in Clarinda - Oakleigh South is highly educated, featuring a strong concentration in professional services, an unemployment rate of just 3.4%, and an estimated job growth rate of 4.3% over the prior year. As of March 2026, there are 6,002 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 1.4% below the 4.8% rate of Greater Melbourne. However, labor force participation is notably lower, at 61.9% compared to 70.2% in Greater Melbourne. Census data indicates that a high proportion of residents, 27.0%, worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by Covid-19 lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. The area displays a strong specialization in manufacturing, with its employment share in this sector running 1.4 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 8.4% of local workers, which is below the 10.1% average for Greater Melbourne. The suburb is predominantly residential and appears to offer few local jobs, as indicated by the comparison between the Census working population and the resident population. Based on an analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, employment in the region rose by 4.3% and the labor force expanded by 4.4% in the year leading up to March 2026, leading to a 0.1 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1% and the labor force grow by 2.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase. The national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future labor demand in Clarinda - Oakleigh South. These five and ten-year forecasts have been mapped against the local workforce profile to project future employment patterns. Although total national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Applying these sectoral projections to the employment mix of Clarinda - Oakleigh South suggests that local employment will grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.4% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population 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 — 156 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 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 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 (212041309). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
