Detail

Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Berriedale is estimated to have a population of 2,853 as of May 2026. This represents a reduction of 52 individuals (1.8%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 2,905 residents. This demographic change is calculated from the estimated resident population of 2,853, determined by AreaSearch through analysing the ABS June 2025 ERP release and 18 additional validated new addresses since the Census. This population size results in a density of 689 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with averages recorded in areas studied by AreaSearch.

In contrast to the 1.8% decline in the suburb of Berriedale since the census, the broader SA3 region grew by 1.1%, demonstrating contrasting demographic paths.

For SA2 territories lacking this data, and to project age bracket shifts past 2032, LGA and regional projections from the Tasmania State Government published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied, utilizing weighted aggregation of growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to be slightly below the median of areas assessed by AreaSearch, with the suburb of Berriedale expected to add 178 residents by 2041 under consolidated SA2 forecasts, representing a total increase of 6.2% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Berriedale

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

According to building approval figures from the ABS allocated to local levels, the suburb of Berriedale has averaged approximately 1 new home approval each year, representing a total of 7 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 4 approvals have been recorded. While the population has decreased, the supply of housing has remained sufficient for local demand, resulting in a balanced market with options for buyers, and new residences have been constructed with an average value of $642,000, showing that developers are focusing on upmarket properties in the premium sector.

Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $34,000 have been logged this financial year, showing very quiet commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Hobart, the suburb of Berriedale has very little development, tracking 89.0% below the regional average per person. This low volume of new completions generally supports demand and values for existing residences. This building rate is also below the national standard, reflecting the established nature of the suburb and pointing to possible planning constraints. At the same time, all new residential construction has consisted of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the area and appealing to buyers seeking extra space. Interestingly, developers are focusing more on traditional houses than the historical mix at the Census (84.0%) would indicate, showing ongoing demand for family properties. A quiet development landscape is highlighted by the average of 1911 people in the area for every single housing approval. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Berriedale will add 178 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If building activity continues at current rates, the supply of housing may not keep pace with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support rising home prices.

Over the same period, Greater Hobart saw a minor employment reduction of 0.1% and labour force expansion of 0.2%, with unemployment rising by 0.3 percentage points. Long-term occupational projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective employment needs. These projections for five and ten-year horizons have been matched to the local employment structure to project future demand.

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 — 18 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,905 at the 2021 Census → 2,853 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 (SAL60042). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Berriedale suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Berriedale 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 Berriedale 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 (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 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.
