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.

Cloverdale has an estimated 10,162 residents, up from 8,864 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,298 people, or 14.6%. Growth has averaged 2.2% a year over five years, faster than 83% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 77.6% of that increase. That puts 2,560 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
As of Aug 2026, Cloverdale has a population of approximately 10,162 according to assessments from AreaSearch. Compared to the 8,864 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents an expansion of 1,298 individuals (14.6%). This upward trajectory combines the ABS estimated resident population figure of 10,126 registered in June 2025 alongside 96 validated new addresses tracked post-Census. With 2,559 persons per square kilometer, the locality exhibits a high population density that places it within the top quartile of nationally monitored areas. Furthermore, Cloverdale's 14.6% expansion rate outpaced the 9.5% nationwide benchmark since the 2021 census, positioning it among the broader region's faster-growing communities.
Inbound overseas migration served as the primary growth engine, contributing roughly 77.6% of recent population additions. Projections for each SA2 district rely on ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets published in 2024 (using 2022 as a baseline), with figures after 2032 or for unlisted areas supplemented by age-cohort growth models from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 using 2022 figures). Looking forward to 2041, demographic models indicate above-median nationwide expansion for the suburb, projecting an increase of 1,944 residents from recent annual ERP figures to deliver an overall 16-year gain of 18.8%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
294 new dwellings have been approved in Cloverdale over the past five years, an average of 58 a year. That places the area in the 87th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 59 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 61% 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 Cloverdale have averaged around 58 homes per year, totaling 294 residential approvals across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Over this same span (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 3.6 incoming residents arrived per new residence completed, pointing to supply constraints that foster competitive buyer conditions and upward price pressure. Construction costs remain relatively accessible, with new dwellings averaging a construction value of $328,000, sitting below regional benchmarks. Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $1.9 million during this financial year, underscoring an emphasis oriented toward residential development.
Per capita building activity in Cloverdale aligns closely with Greater Perth, maintaining balance alongside neighbouring markets. Detached residences comprise 61.0% of recent construction while attached homes represent 39.0%, reflecting a diversifying stock that spans from larger standalone homes to compact, budget-friendly options. With roughly 137 residents per approved dwelling, the suburb displays classic patterns of an expanding locality. Demographic projections based on recent AreaSearch quarterly figures indicate that Cloverdale will add 1,908 residents up to 2041. While current construction volumes are tracking steadily against this anticipated expansion, purchasers may encounter heightened market competition over time as the community grows.

5,633 residents of Cloverdale are employed, from a labour force of 5,973. Unemployment sits at 5.7%, with participation at 70.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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 8,995, 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
With strong representation in industrial operations and manufacturing, Cloverdale maintains an unemployment rate of 5.7% and recorded a 1.8% annual rise in estimated jobs. As of March 2026, employed residents total 5,633, while the jobless rate sits 1.5% higher than the 4.2% figure for Greater Perth. Workforce participation matches Greater Perth at 69.9%. Remote work adoption stood at a modest 4.9% during the Census, though pandemic restrictions at that time should be factored into consideration. Local workers are predominantly employed across retail trade, accommodation & food, and health care & social assistance.
The accommodation & food industry shows significant local concentration, capturing a workforce share 1.4 times the regional proportion. In contrast, education & training accounts for only 6.1% of employment locally compared to 9.2% across the wider region. Comparing local job numbers against resident worker counts reveals that this primarily residential area generates relatively few employment opportunities within its own boundaries. According to ABS and SALM figures evaluated by AreaSearch, the twelve months to March 2026 saw local employment expand by 1.8% and the labour pool grow by 2.0%, lifting unemployment by 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Perth saw employment rise by 2.0%, the workforce expand by 2.5%, and unemployment increase by 0.4 percentage points. National employment modeling from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provides broader context for future local demand across five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, job growth is projected at 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, though industry trajectories vary widely. Weighting these sectoral projections across Cloverdale's occupational profile suggests potential local employment increases of 6.1% across five years and 12.9% across ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes localized population changes).

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 — 96 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,864 at the 2021 Census → 10,162 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.
