Chart Color Schemes
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.

Sales Detail
Clifton Springs has an estimated 17,989 residents, up from 16,797 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,192 people, or 7.1%. Growth has averaged 2.1% a year over five years. 240 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 71.0% of that increase. That puts 276 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
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Clifton Springs stands at approximately 17,989 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,192 people (7.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the recorded population was 16,797 people. Such variation is derived from an ABS estimated resident population of 17,913 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 240 validated new addresses added following the Census. With this population distributed over the locality, the density sits at 276 persons per square kilometer, offering generous space per resident and substantial capacity for additional building.
Outpacing the 4.4% recorded across Rest of Vic., the local growth rate of 7.1% since the 2021 census positions the community as a regional pacesetter. Inward movement from other states served as the primary catalyst, generating roughly 71.0% of recent population gains, though natural increase and overseas arrivals also delivered positive contributions. Population modelling by AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections pegged to a 2022 baseline for each SA2. Where specific local coverage is absent, figures draw upon the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset, adapted through weighted aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Age-bracket expansion rates from these models are likewise incorporated for all localities between 2032 and 2041. Over this horizon, the area is anticipated to experience exceptional expansion that ranks within the top 10 percent of regional territories across the nation, adding 8,294 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP baselines, which translates to a total surge of 45.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
492 new dwellings have been approved in Clifton Springs over the past five years, an average of 98 a year. That places the area in the 68th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 98 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 96% 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 authorisations in Clifton Springs have tracked at roughly 98 dwellings annually, totaling 492 homes sanctioned over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this identical timeframe (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 3.6 people arrived annually for every residence constructed, creating an environment where demand outstrips newly built stock, typically putting upward pressure on property values and intensifying buyer interest. The average expected construction cost for these new properties is $414,000. Commercial planning activity has also been notable, with approvals reaching $48.3 million during this financial year, reflecting substantial local commercial commitment.
Construction intensity across Clifton Springs remains markedly subdued when compared against Rest of Vic., tracking 59.0% below regional average per person. This limited delivery of new housing stock often reinforces competition and pricing across established properties. Detached houses account for 96.0% of recent residential building permits while townhouses or apartments make up 4.0%, maintaining a distinctly low-density neighborhood character that appeals to purchasers seeking standalone homes and spacious living. Furthermore, the ratio of 455 people per residential permit underscores the modest pace of local building development. Demographic projections suggest that Clifton Springs is set to expand by 8,217 residents leading up to 2041 (benchmarked from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If local building volumes continue at their present clip, new dwelling completions could fall behind this population influx, thereby elevating market competition among buyers and supporting property values.

8,518 residents of Clifton Springs are employed, from a labour force of 8,860. Unemployment sits at 3.9%, with participation at 59.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 15,228, 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 labour pool in Clifton Springs is characterized by solid skill levels and strong representation across essential community services, maintaining an unemployment rate of 3.9% alongside stable employment outcomes over the previous twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 8,518, while the jobless rate was 0.2% above Regional Vic.'s rate of 3.7%, and the labor force participation rate closely aligned with Regional Vic.'s 61.1%. In terms of work arrangements, 18.7% of working residents noted working from home at the Census, although this figure was subject to the conditions of Covid-19 restrictions.
Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. Construction shows an especially heavy local footprint, employing workers at 1.2 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.3% of local employment, well below the 7.5% seen across Regional Vic.. A comparison of resident workers versus local workplace counts at the Census suggests the district provides a modest volume of jobs within its own borders. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the year to March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 0.9% while net employment dipped by 0.1%, driving a 0.7 percentage points decrease in the unemployment rate. Across Regional Vic. over the same timeframe, employment declined by 0.1%, the workforce shrank by 0.3%, and the jobless rate receded by 0.2 percentage points. Broader trends from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national forecasts provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Clifton Springs over five- and ten-year spans when aligned with the local industry distribution. Nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When mapped across Clifton Springs's specific industry distribution, these benchmarks suggest local job gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (representing an unadjusted weighted projection intended for illustration without factoring in local population shifts).

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 — 240 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (16,797 at the 2021 Census → 17,989 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.
