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
North Hobart has an estimated 2,769 residents, up from 2,600 at the 2021 Census — a change of 169 people, or 6.5%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. 144 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,769 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
Analysis of ABS demographic updates and addresses verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census indicates that the suburb of North Hobart has an estimated population of 2,769 in May 2026. This representing a growth of 169 people (6.5%) compared to the 2,600 people recorded during the 2021 Census. The calculation is based on a resident population of 2,769, projected by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus an additional 144 validated new addresses post-Census. Such a population size results in a density of 2,769 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality in the top quartile of Australian areas evaluated by AreaSearch.
The 6.5% growth rate since the 2021 census surpassed both the SA3 area (1.8%) and the SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population gains were almost exclusively driven by overseas migration, which served as the primary source of demographic growth in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia demographic forecasts for each SA2 region published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. In instances where SA2 areas lack coverage, and to model age cohort trends beyond 2032, Tasmanian State Government Regional/LGA projections from 2022 with a 2021 base year are utilised and adjusted via weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 boundaries. Future demographic trajectories point to a population rise slightly below the national median for statistical divisions, with projections indicating the suburb of North Hobart will expand by 212 persons by 2041, representing a total increase of 7.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
121 new dwellings have been approved in North Hobart over the past five years, an average of 24 a year. That is 9.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 27, 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
AreaSearch assessment of ABS building approvals assigned from local statistical data shows that North Hobart averages approximately 24 residential approvals annually, with 121 homes approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 25 recorded during FY-26. Because construction yielded an average of only 0.6 new residents per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the supply of new housing matches or exceeds demand, widening choices for purchasers and supporting population growth that may surpass current projections, with new builds averaging $571,000 in value to indicate a developer concentration on upmarket premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $9.8 million have been logged in the current financial year, demonstrating consistent commercial investment. Per capita building approvals in North Hobart are 227.0% higher than the Greater Hobart average, expanding options for buyers despite a deceleration in construction activity in recent years. The mix of recent completions consists of 29.0% detached houses and 71.0% townhouses or apartments. High-density structures lower entry costs and accommodate downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a clear shift from the existing housing stock (which stands at 46.0% houses), reflecting a scarcity of vacant land alongside changing consumer preferences and affordability pressures. The region averages 688 people per dwelling approval, indicating a mature residential sector. Looking forward, North Hobart is projected to add 212 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current levels of building activity suggest housing supply will comfortably accommodate demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially facilitating growth above current forecasts.

1,796 residents of North Hobart are employed, from a labour force of 1,861. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 72.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,926, about 178% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
North Hobart features a highly qualified labor force with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of just 3.5%, and an estimated job growth of 1.1% over the past year based on compiled statistical area data. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,796, with the local unemployment rate sitting 0.9% below the Greater Hobart average of 4.4%, and workforce participation reaching a high 72.5% compared to Greater Hobart's 63.8%. According to Census records, a minor 8.5% of working locals did so from home, although this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restriction periods.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, accommodation & food, and education & training. The local workforce displays a high concentration in accommodation & food, employing residents at 1.8 times the regional average rate. By contrast, the construction sector is less represented at 5.4% compared to the regional average of 8.7%. Because the area contains 2.2 jobs for every resident worker at the time of the Census, it functions as a employment hub, drawing in commuting workers from neighboring districts. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from surrounding areas, employment expanded by 1.1% and the labor force grew by 1.1% during the 12 months ending March 2026, maintaining a stable unemployment rate. In comparison, Greater Hobart experienced a 0.1% decline in employment, 0.2% growth in the labor force, and a 0.3 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide additional context for future demand within North Hobart. These projections for five and ten-year horizons have been applied to the local workforce profile to model expansion patterns. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary by industry. Extrapolating these national industry trends to the local employment mix suggests North Hobart jobs would rise by 6.9% over five years and 14.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation for illustration that excludes 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 — 144 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,600 at the 2021 Census → 2,769 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 (SAL60459). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
