Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Claremont (WA) has an estimated 10,963 residents, up from 9,248 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,715 people, or 18.5%. Growth has averaged 3.1% a year over five years, faster than 89% of areas nationally. 228 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 73.7% of that increase. That puts 2,833 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 Claremont stands at approximately 10,963 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 1,715 people (18.5%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 9,248 people. Such progress has been calculated by combining the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 10,961 with 228 validated new addresses recorded following the Census date. Claremont's population density reaches 2,832 persons per square kilometer, positioning it within the top quartile of all nationwide territories evaluated by AreaSearch. Outpacing both the 9.5% nationwide benchmark and its broader SA3 area, Claremont's 18.5% post-2021 Census increase establishes it as an area leader in growth.

Overseas migration served as the primary catalyst for this demographic expansion, making up roughly 73.7% of the total resident additions in recent periods. Projections compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as their benchmark year, form the basis of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling. For locations without direct coverage, as well as for all post-2032 demographic estimates, AreaSearch applies age-cohort expansion rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region release (derived from 2022 data). Ongoing demographic momentum suggests Claremont will record population growth above the national statistical area median, adding an expected 1,863 persons through to 2041 according to the latest annual ERP population figures, amounting to an overall gain of 17.0% across the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Claremont (WA)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

193 new dwellings have been approved in Claremont (WA) over the past five years, an average of 38 a year. That places the area in the 88th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 39 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 21% 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 in Claremont have averaged roughly 38 dwellings annually, culminating in 193 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), the locality welcomed an average of 8.1 people per year for every home constructed, causing demand to significantly exceed new building volume, which tends to drive up sale prices and heighten buyer competition. Furthermore, new properties feature an average building cost of $873,000, underscoring a developer emphasis on high-end, premium projects. Commercial building has also maintained strong momentum, supported by $75.1 million in commercial development approvals recorded this financial year.

On a per-capita basis, building activity in Claremont trails Greater Perth by 18.0%, though it still ranks in the 77th percentile nationally and has demonstrated recent acceleration. The development pipeline is composed of 21.0% detached houses alongside 79.0% medium and high-density housing options. This shift toward higher-density dwelling options creates accessible entry points that cater to first-home buyers, downsizers, and property investors. This represents a distinct pivot from the existing residential landscape (which features 39.0% houses), driven by site scarcity alongside evolving lifestyle choices and affordability considerations. Generating around 1796 people per approval, Claremont displays the hallmarks of an established, mature community. According to the latest quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, demographic projections show Claremont adding 1,861 residents by 2041. If residential construction remains at its present pace, housing additions could fall behind population growth, which would likely heighten buyer competition and provide strong underlying support for property values.

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 — 228 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,248 at the 2021 Census → 10,963 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 (503011031). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Claremont (WA) SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Claremont (WA) page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Claremont (WA) data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
