Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Longford (Tas.) has an estimated resident count of around 4,547, established through AreaSearch assessment of broader ABS population releases alongside validated new addresses post-Census. Comparing this against the 2021 Census figure of 4,268 people demonstrates an expansion of 279 people (6.5%). Following an evaluation of the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, AreaSearch calculated a population of 4,506, with 146 validated new addresses added since the Census date underpinning this adjustment. Density currently stands at 25 persons per square kilometer, ensuring spacious living conditions.
With a 6.5% increase since the 2021 census, the suburb of Longford (Tas.) outperformed both the SA4 region and the state (4.2%), establishing itself as a regional growth leader. The primary driver of these recent population gains was interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 53.0% of the total increase. Projections utilized by AreaSearch incorporate ABS/Geoscience Australia figures for SA2 regions, published in 2024 using 2022 as a base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, and for determining post-2032 age distribution trends, Tasmania State Government Regional/LGA projections issued in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline are applied via weighted aggregation of population growth converting LGA data to SA2 levels. Looking ahead, demographic forecasts position the suburb of Longford (Tas.) within the lower quartile of nationwide regional growth. According to aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb of Longford (Tas.) is projected to grow by 169 persons to 2041, representing an overall rise of 2.8% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
187 new dwellings have been approved in Longford (Tas.) over the past five years, an average of 37 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 40 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 60, 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
Annual residential approvals in Longford stand at around 37 new homes according to AreaSearch research on ABS building approval statistics mapped from local areas, totaling an estimated 187 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), including 60 so far in FY-25. Market stability has been supported by an equilibrium between demand and construction, historically averaging 1.7 new residents per year per approved dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), which has further moderated to 0.9 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years to indicate an even healthier supply-demand alignment.
New residential builds carry an average expected construction cost of $333,000, aligning with broad regional patterns, while commercial approvals totaling $7.6 million this financial year underscore the predominantly residential focus of the locality. Building activity in Longford surpasses Rest of Tas. on a per-capita basis, tracking 31.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period, thereby sustaining local asset values while providing ample choice for purchasers. Low-density residential character has been preserved because recent approvals have consisted exclusively of separate houses, catering to family living and buyers seeking room. With approximately 96 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays characteristics of an expanding property market. According to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Longford is anticipated to see an influx of 128 residents by 2041. Ongoing building trajectories indicate that residential construction will readily accommodate this incoming population, fostering favorable buyer conditions and creating scope for demographic expansion beyond baseline forecasts.

2,081 residents of Longford (Tas.) are employed, from a labour force of 2,147. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 56.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,100, about 90% 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
Statistical area aggregations from AreaSearch indicate that Longford maintains a diverse workforce across industrial and white-collar roles, supported by strong industrial and manufacturing presence and a low jobless rate of 3.1%. Employed persons numbered 2,081 as of March 2026, with local unemployment sitting 0.9% below Regional Tas.'s rate of 3.9%. Labor force engagement registered at 56.6% compared to Regional Tas.'s 58.7%, reflecting slightly lower participation. Additionally, Census records show that only 7.6% of workers worked remotely, a metric influenced by prevailing Covid-19 lockdown circumstances. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and construction.
Industrial specialization is evident in manufacturing, where local staffing reaches 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, accommodation & food accounts for a smaller footprint, generating 5.1% employment compared to 7.7% regionally. Comparing Census working population against resident population metrics suggests that resident workers largely rely on employment opportunities outside the immediate locality. Across the 12 months to March 2026, analysis of ABS and SALM statistical data by AreaSearch revealed a 1.6% reduction in the local labor pool and a 1.1% dip in employment, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Tas. experienced an employment increase of 1.8%, labor force growth of 1.7%, and a slight drop in unemployment. Future local labor demand can also be modeled using Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26 across five and ten-year horizons. Across Australia, workforce growth is projected at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector trajectories vary. Aligning these sector projections with Longford's industry distribution indicates projected job growth of 5.8% over five years and 12.7% over ten years (note that this illustrative model relies on weighted extrapolation without adjusting for localized population shifts).

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 — 146 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,268 at the 2021 Census → 4,547 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 Aug 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.
