Dynnyrne

Dynnyrne has seen population growth performance typically on par with national averages when looking at short and medium term trends

The population of the suburb of Dynnyrne, based on ABS updates and AreaSearch validation as of May 2026, is estimated at around 1,556. This reflects a decrease from the 2021 Census figure of 1,633 people, a change inferred from resident population data and new addresses validated since the Census date. The population density ratio is approximately 1,065 persons per square kilometer. Population growth in the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, contributing around 93.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022.

For areas not covered by this data, Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections are adopted with adjustments made employing a method of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Future population trends suggest an increase just below the median of Australian statistical areas, with the area expected to gain 156 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting a total gain of approximately 10.0% over the 16 years.

The level of residential development activity in Dynnyrne is very low in comparison to the average area assessed nationally by AreaSearch

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, allocated from statistical area data, shows Dynnyrne averaged approximately one new dwelling approval per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated seven homes. As of FY26, one approval has been recorded. The population decline in recent years has seen development activity adequate relative to other areas, benefiting buyers while new properties are constructed at an average expected construction cost value of $739,000, indicating a focus on the premium market segment with higher-end properties.

Compared to Greater Hobart, Dynnyrne has significantly less development activity, 67.0% below the regional average per person, which typically strengthens demand and prices for existing properties. This is also below the national average, suggesting the area's established nature and potential planning limitations. Recent development has been entirely comprised of detached dwellings, preserving Dynnyrne's suburban character with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. New construction favours detached housing more than current patterns suggest, demonstrating ongoing robust demand for family homes. With approximately 1527 people per approval, Dynnyrne shows a mature, established area.

Looking ahead, Dynnyrne is expected to grow by 156 residents through to 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.

Employment performance in Dynnyrne has been below expectations when compared to most other areas nationally

Dynnyrne's workforce is highly educated with professional services well-represented. As of December 2025, the unemployment rate was 5.1%, according to AreaSearch's aggregation of statistical area data. By this date, 855 residents were employed while the unemployment rate was 1.1% higher than Greater Hobart's rate of 4.0%.

Workforce participation in Dynnyrne was similar to Greater Hobart's at 63.7%. Census responses showed that only 13.2% of residents worked from home, considering Covid-19 lockdown impacts. Leading employment industries included health care & social assistance, education & training, and accommodation & food, with the latter being particularly notable due to its concentration at 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, construction was under-represented, employing only 3.3% of Dynnyrne's workforce compared to Greater Hobart's 8.7%.

The predominantly residential area appeared to offer limited local employment opportunities, as indicated by the count of Census working population versus resident population. Between December 2024 and December 2025, the labour force decreased by 1.1% alongside a 2.4% decrease in employment, leading to a rise in unemployment rate by 1.3 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Hobart saw employment growth of 0.1%, labour force decline of 0.1%, and a fall in unemployment by 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 projected national employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with varying rates across industry sectors. Applying these projections to Dynnyrne's employment mix suggested local employment should increase by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, though this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not consider localised population projections.

The median taxpayer income in Dynnyrne, based on postcode level ATO data aggregated by AreaSearch for the financial year ending June 2023, is $40,082.
