DemographicsPopulation Growth in Gagebrook

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Gagebrook has an estimated 1,549 residents. That puts 1,156 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 demographic evaluations from the ABS for the region and address verifications conducted by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Gagebrook has a projected population of approximately 1,549 in May 2026. This indicates a loss of 23 residents (1.5%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 1,572 individuals. The calculation relies on a resident count of 1,547, computed by AreaSearch using the ABS release of June 2025 ERP statistics along with 8 validated new addresses added post-Census. Such a population size results in 1,156 persons per square kilometer, a density that aligns closely with standard results across AreaSearch assessment regions.

Natural increase was the primary contributor to local growth, accounting for roughly 53.0% of the population expansion in recent times, though interstate and overseas migration also registered positive gains. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia from 2024 using 2022 as a baseline are applied to each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and to calculate age cohort shifts after 2032, regional projections from the Tasmanian Government issued in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are utilized, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population changes from municipal to SA2 scales. Future demographic trajectories point to growth exceeding the national median for statistical units, with the suburb of Gagebrook anticipated to expand by 289 individuals by 2041 based on these aggregated figures, representing an increase of 18.5% over the 16 years.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Detail

Analysis of building approval statistics from the ABS allocated to local boundaries shows that the suburb of Gagebrook averages about 1 approved dwelling per year, with a total of 8 residential units approved over the previous 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 2 approvals have been documented. Since new homes have attracted an average of only 0.8 additional residents annually per completed dwelling between FY-21 and FY-25, new supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, providing buyers with more choices and potentially driving population numbers above current projections.

In addition, commercial approvals reached $638,000 this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the suburb of Gagebrook. Compared with Greater Hobart, the suburb of Gagebrook displays far less residential construction, falling 89.0% below the regional average per capita. While this limited supply typically supports valuations and demand for existing houses, building numbers have risen lately. This rate is also below the countrywide average, indicating a fully developed locality and potential zoning limitations. Furthermore, all recent additions consisted of detached single-family dwellings, reinforcing the traditional low-density neighborhood layout that caters to households seeking larger properties. The ratio of residents to each home approval stands at roughly 446, indicating a well-established neighborhood. Demographic projections indicate the suburb of Gagebrook will add 287 citizens by 2041 compared to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch.

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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,572 at the 2021 Census → 1,549 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 (SAL60218). 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 Gagebrook 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 Gagebrook 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 Gagebrook 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 (May 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.
