Detail

Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the wider region and new address verifications conducted by AreaSearch, the suburb of Rokeby (Tas.) has an estimated population of 5,437 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 1,226 people (29.1%) compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 4,211 residents. This trend is calculated from a resident population count of 5,322, which AreaSearch estimated using the ABS June 2025 ERP data release, combined with an additional 602 validated new addresses since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 453 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density living and room for future expansion.

The 29.1% growth rate in the suburb of Rokeby (Tas.) since the 2021 census outpaced the SA4 region (3.9%) and Greater Hobart, making it a regional leader in population growth.

AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and to calculate age cohort changes after 2032, population projections from the Tasmanian State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as a baseline are utilized, applying a weighted aggregation method from LGA to SA2 level. Based on these demographic forecasts, the suburb of Rokeby (Tas.) is expected to experience population growth above the national median, with projections indicating an increase of 1,083 persons to 2041, representing a total rise of 17.8% over the 16 years.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Rokeby (Tas.)

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,694 residents of Rokeby (Tas.) are employed, from a labour force of 2,898. Unemployment sits at 7.0%, with participation at 66.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 4,682, about 86% 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

Labor force participation is relatively typical at 66.5%, compared to 63.8% in Greater Hobart.

Comparison of Census local jobs versus resident workforce indicates a relatively low volume of local employment opportunities.

This trend contrasts with Greater Hobart, where job numbers declined by 0.1%, the labour force grew by 0.2%, and unemployment climbed 0.3 percentage points. Insights into future job demand for Rokeby can be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts dated May-25. These forecasts span five and ten-year periods and have been overlaid with local employment data to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth rates vary widely. When these industry-specific projections are applied to Rokeby's current employment composition, the area is projected to see employment rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years.

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 — 602 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,211 at the 2021 Census → 5,437 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 (SAL60564). 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 Rokeby (Tas.) 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 Rokeby (Tas.) 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 Rokeby (Tas.) 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.
