This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Bridgewater (Tas.) has an estimated 5,066 residents, up from 4,592 at the 2021 Census — a change of 474 people, or 10.3%. Growth has averaged 2.5% a year over five years. 188 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 53.0% of that increase. That puts 294 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
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Bridgewater (Tas.)'s population is estimated at around 5,066 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 474 people (10.3%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 4,592 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 5,062, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 188 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 293 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development. The suburb of Bridgewater (Tas.)'s 10.3% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA4 region (3.9%), along with the Greater Hobart, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by natural growth that contributed approximately 53.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including interstate migration and overseas migration were positive factors. AreaSearch is using projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For SA2 areas not covered by that dataset, and to estimate growth by age group after 2032, the Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections are used. These were released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Adjustments are made using a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. A significant population increase in the top quartile of statistical areas across the nation is anticipated. The suburb of Bridgewater (Tas.) is expected to increase by 1,188 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections. This reflects an increase of 23.4% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
211 new dwellings have been approved in Bridgewater (Tas.) over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 45 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 51, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
An evaluation of building approvals from the ABS matched to statistical boundaries indicates that Bridgewater typically logs about 42 new residential approvals annually, with approximately 211 homes approved during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 47 approvals recorded during the current FY-26. Each dwelling constructed over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25 corresponded to an average increase of 2.8 new residents, pointing to robust demand that should underpin local property values, with newly constructed homes averaging an estimated construction cost of $381,000 as builders target the upscale market segment.
Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $19.3 million this financial year, showing a moderate volume of non-residential building activity. Bridgewater displays building approval volumes per capita that match Greater Hobart, which helps preserve market equilibrium in line with metropolitan trends, even though local building starts have slowed recently. Detached houses account for 93.0% of new residential construction, with the remaining 7.0% consisting of apartments or townhouses, maintaining the low-density profile of the suburb and catering to buyers seeking larger home sites. The area registers roughly 279 residents for every single residential approval, which suggests capacity for further expansion. Projecting forward, the population of Bridgewater is set to rise by 1,184 residents by 2041, measured from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch. The current pace of residential construction appears well-aligned with this projected growth, supporting a balanced property market free from extreme pricing pressures.

1,664 residents of Bridgewater (Tas.) are employed, from a labour force of 2,052. Unemployment sits at 18.9%, with participation at 53.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,400, about 87% 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
Data consolidated from local statistical units by AreaSearch indicates that Bridgewater maintains a balanced labor market split between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a diverse mix of industries, an unemployment rate of 18.9%, and a 1.3% growth in total jobs over the past year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,664, while the unemployment rate was 14.5% higher than the 4.4% recorded in Greater Hobart, highlighting potential for labor market improvement as workforce participation (53.1%) remains well behind the metropolitan rate of 63.8%. According to Census records, a minor 3.0% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by COVID-19 containment measures.
Local employment is largely concentrated in retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance. The retail trade sector stands out as a key specialization, accounting for a share of employment that is 1.5 times higher than the regional average. Conversely, education & training is underrepresented, employing only 5.1% of local workers compared to 10.8% across Greater Hobart. A comparison of the Census working population against resident workforce numbers indicates that the suburb provides a limited volume of local jobs. According to SALM and ABS statistics aggregated across wider zones, the year ending March 2026 saw local employment rise by 1.3% and the total labor force expand by 2.0%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Hobart saw employment contract by 0.1%, labor force size grow by 0.2%, and unemployment tick up by 0.3 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional context on potential workforce demand in Bridgewater. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While total employment nationwide is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by sector. Mapping these industry-level projections directly to the local employment mix suggests Bridgewater's workforce could expand by 6.2% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, based on a simple weighted extrapolation that does not account for specific local population 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 — 188 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,592 at the 2021 Census → 5,066 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.
