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.

Clyde North - North has an estimated 13,670 residents, up from 10,535 at the 2021 Census — a change of 3,135 people, or 29.8%. Growth has averaged 8.2% a year over five years, faster than 95% of areas nationally. 613 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 57.8% of that increase. That puts 1,987 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 findings from AreaSearch, the population of Clyde North - North stands at approximately 13,670 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 3,135 people (29.8%) from the 2021 Census, when the cohort stood at 10,535 people. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 13,667 as of June 2025 alongside 613 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such numbers indicate a density of 1,986 persons per square kilometer, a figure that sits higher than the typical result across national areas analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 29.8% expansion in Clyde North - North since the 2021 census outpaced the state (9.3%) and the national benchmark, establishing the locality as a primary growth corridor. Movement from other parts of the country was the main driver of these gains, accounting for roughly 57.8% of the growth, though natural increase and overseas arrivals also made positive contributions. AreaSearch implements projections from the ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch applies the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2023, adjusting them via a weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 tiers. Age cohort growth rates derived from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these expected demographic transitions, the locality is projected to experience rapid growth, placing it in the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationwide. The region is anticipated to add 10,716 persons by 2041 compared to the most recent annual ERP data, which represents a rise of 78.4% over the 16 years.

Detail
Clyde North - North averages roughly 252 residential building approvals each year, with 1,263 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 295 during FY-26 so far. With a ratio of 3.5 people moving to the district for every new home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction is failing to keep pace with demand, a situation that typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices, while newly built properties average a value of $306,000, matching regional patterns.
Furthermore, the area has recorded $7.0 million in commercial development approvals this financial year, underscoring its predominantly residential nature. Clyde North - North exhibits 59.0% more construction activity (per person) than Greater Melbourne, offering prospective buyers plenty of options despite a recent moderation in building rates. This level of activity is significantly higher than the national average, demonstrating strong developer interest. The composition of new builds is 93.0% detached dwellings and 7.0% attached dwellings, preserving the area's classic suburban layout and catering to families looking for larger homes. A ratio of roughly 78 people per approved dwelling highlights the ongoing development phase of Clyde North - North. Demographic projections indicate Clyde North - North will add 10,713 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). The volume of existing development seems to match these future demands, which should help sustain stable market dynamics without causing major price shocks.

7,471 residents of Clyde North - North are employed, from a labour force of 7,711. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 76.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 10,610, about 78% 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 Clyde North - North is highly educated, featuring a strong contingent in professional services, an unemployment rate of just 3.1%, and a 3.9% expansion in estimated employment over the previous year. As of March 2026, there are 7,471 employed residents, with the local unemployment rate sitting 1.7% below the Greater Melbourne level of 4.8%, and the participation rate reaching an elevated 76.3% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%. Census data indicates that a notable 26.2% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and manufacturing. The concentration of workers in health care & social assistance is particularly pronounced, running at 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for only 8.1% of the local workforce compared to 10.1% across Greater Melbourne. Comparison of Census working population statistics against resident numbers suggests that this largely residential locality offers a limited volume of local jobs. An analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 3.9% while the labor force expanded by 4.5%, leading to a 0.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Melbourne saw employment rise by 2.1%, labor force increase by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate tick up by 0.2 percentage points. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding prospective demand trends in Clyde North - North. These forecasts, which look ahead five and ten years, have been mapped against the local employment profile to model potential growth. Nationwide employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these rates vary considerably by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce suggests employment in Clyde North - North will rise by 6.7% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (this represents a simple weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate 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 — 613 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,535 at the 2021 Census → 13,670 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 (212031555). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
