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.

Sales Detail
Glenorchy (Tas.) has an estimated 11,936 residents, down from 12,013 at the 2021 Census. That puts 1,151 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
According to ABS population updates evaluated for the surrounding region and subsequent address validations conducted by AreaSearch, the suburb of Glenorchy (Tas.) is estimated to have a population of 11,936 in May 2026. This represents a decline of 77 people (0.6%) compared to the 12,013 residents recorded at the 2021 Census. This adjustment is based on an estimated resident count of 11,934 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP publication, alongside 93 validated new addresses registered after the census. The population density stands at 1,151 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks across AreaSearch locations.
Over the last ten years, the suburb of Glenorchy (Tas.) has shown steady development with a 1.0% compound annual growth rate, exceeding the broader SA3. This growth was almost entirely supported by international migration, which acted as the sole driver of population expansion in recent times. Projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia data published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. In instances where SA2 figures are unavailable, and to project age cohorts past 2032, Tasmania State Government projections from 2022 utilizing a 2021 baseline are applied via weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 divisions. Future expectations point to population growth running slightly under the national median, with the suburb of Glenorchy (Tas.) projected to add 926 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing a 7.7% expansion over 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
137 new dwellings have been approved in Glenorchy (Tas.) over the past five years, an average of 27 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 70% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 93, running ahead of 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals indicates that approximately 27 new dwellings receive approval annually, totaling 137 approved homes during the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, and 86 during the current FY-26 period. Given the local population contraction, the supply of new housing has likely matched demand to provide buyers with reasonable options, with new builds averaging $310,000 in estimated value. Additionally, commercial development has shown solid momentum with $91.7 million in approvals recorded this financial year. Per capita construction activity is roughly half the level observed in Greater Hobart, placing in the 8th percentile of all national locations, which restricts options for buyers and increases interest in established dwellings.
This activity level is also lower than the national benchmark, suggesting a mature local market and prospective limits on development. Of the housing constructed recently, standalone homes constitute 70.0% while attached dwellings represent 30.0%, indicating an increasing proportion of medium-density formats that provide diverse choices across different price ranges, from conventional family properties to smaller, affordable residences. A ratio of approximately 2667 people per approval highlights the mature, built-out status of the area. Long-term forecasts indicate the addition of 924 new residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates. Residential construction is keeping reasonable pace with this projected growth, though house hunters could experience heightened competition as the resident count rises.

Royal Hobart Showgrounds Redevelopment (Wilkinsons Point Precinct)
A comprehensive transformation of the 12.7-hectare Royal Hobart Showgrounds. Stage 1 involves a $50 million investment in a new pavilion, 1,500-seat theatre, auditoriums, an arena, and a plaza for 100 market stalls. The broader masterplan includes a $300 million vision to deliver 450 new homes, featuring 150 social and affordable units. The precinct will serve as a modern community hub and emergency centre while remaining the permanent home of the Royal Hobart Show. Main works construction commenced in early 2026 following the demolition of legacy structures.
Motel Mona (formerly Homo)

The project, often referred to by the acronyms HOMO or MOTEL, includes a 1,000-plus seat theatre, spa centre, library for rare books, conference facilities, and an outdoor concert stage. While David Walsh previously signaled a pause in late 2021 to focus on other museum expansions, recent planning scheme amendments in 2025 and 2026 for the Berriedale site continue to provide for this future hotel development as a central part of MONA's long-term vision.
Hobart Heritage Rail Project
Volunteer-led project by the Tasmanian Transport Museum to progressively restore and operate the former TasRail suburban railway between Glenorchy and Granton. Heritage passenger services commenced between Elwick Road and Grove Road in 2023 and were extended to Berriedale Road in December 2025 following rail safety accreditation. Future works include level crossing upgrades, extension to Mentmore Street and ultimately Granton, subject to funding and approvals.
Medical Centre Redevelopment - Cadbury Road (Claremont)

Homes Tasmania Social Housing Program
Statewide social housing program delivering over 1,000 social housing dwellings under the Community Housing Growth Program. As of May 2026, the program is approximately 48% complete with 4,791 households supported into housing outcomes. In the Glenorchy area, construction continues on multi-unit developments and modular homes to meet the 10,000 homes by 2032 target. Current activities include expanding the pipeline via Housing Australia Future Fund (HAFF) Round 3 submissions for an additional 582 homes statewide.
Wilkinsons Point Precinct
A transformational 500 million dollar mixed-use waterfront precinct on a 15 hectare site adjoining MyState Bank Arena on the River Derwent foreshore. The Tasmanian Government agreed in February 2025 to sell the Crown Land at Wilkinsons Point to the LK Group, with the Valuer-General to determine the price. As at September 2025 the Auditor-General reported the land sale process was not yet complete. The masterplan, originally approved by the Tasmanian Planning Commission in September 2020, is being delivered in three stages and includes a 12 storey, 250 room hotel, around 120 student accommodation units, a multi-purpose community sports centre with basketball courts, gymnastics and gym facilities, waterfront food and beverage outlets, sports related retail, big-box retail (with the developer pursuing Aldi as an anchor), public open spaces and an extension of the foreshore trail.The Tasmanian Government is separately delivering common-use infrastructure including a new Wilkinsons Point ferry terminal, services and parking. The precinct is positioned to complement the nearby Museum of Old and New Art and the Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park.
Glenorchy War Memorial Pool Redevelopment
Long-term redevelopment proposal for the Glenorchy War Memorial Pool into a regional aquatic centre featuring an outdoor 50m pool, indoor lap pool, warm water program pool, wellness facilities, gymnasium, cafe and supporting amenities. Glenorchy City Council has completed the business case and concept design and is seeking approximately $83.8 million in State and Federal Government funding. Separately, a funded refurbishment of the existing pool is under construction to enable reopening while the larger redevelopment remains unfunded.
YMCA Glenorchy Redevelopment
Redevelopment and transformation of The Y Glenorchy community facility, funded by a $6 million federal grant from the Department of Infrastructure. Vos Construction took possession of the site in April 2024 and the redeveloped facility officially reopened on 5 May 2026. The upgraded centre features two improved stadiums, multiple multipurpose rooms, a community meeting space, and areas for health and wellbeing providers. The project supports broader community use and continues to invite expressions of interest from health service and program providers.
5,721 residents of Glenorchy (Tas.) are employed, from a labour force of 6,186. Unemployment sits at 7.5%, with participation at 60.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
The workforce contains many qualified individuals with strong representation in key service sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 7.5%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 5,721, while the jobless rate was 3.1% higher than the Greater Hobart level of 4.4%, and the participation rate was slightly lower at 60.6% compared to the regional benchmark of 63.8%. Census data indicates that a minor 4.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this period was affected by pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and accommodation & food.
There is a strong focus on retail trade, which employs workers at 1.3 times the regional average rate. Conversely, education & training is underrepresented, making up 6.7% of local employment compared to 10.8% across the wider region. Although local employment is available, comparison of the Census working population against local job figures suggests a high number of residents travel outside the area for work. Based on SALM and ABS figures aggregated from wider statistical boundaries, the past 12 months recorded a 0.2% expansion in the labour force alongside a 0.5% reduction in employment, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.7 percentage points. Over the same timeframe in Greater Hobart, employment decreased by 0.1%, the labour force increased by 0.2%, and unemployment rose by 0.3 percentage points. Long-term occupational forecasts issued in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further indications of local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future opportunities. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary by industry. Applying these national sector trends to the local employment mix suggests a potential growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted model without local population growth adjustments.

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 — 93 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,013 at the 2021 Census → 11,936 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.
