Suburb (SAL) Boundary Analysis

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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Rosetta

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Rosetta has an estimated 2,806 residents, down from 2,833 at the 2021 Census — a change of 27 people, or 1.0%. That puts 999 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 investigations of ABS population statistics for the broader region and recent address validations conducted by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Rosetta has a population estimated at 2,806 as of May 2026. This represents a reduction of 27 individuals (1.0%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 2,833 residents. The estimation is based on a resident population of 2,805 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ABS ERP figures alongside 48 new addresses verified since the census. The population count represents a density of 998 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with the averages found across other areas analyzed by AreaSearch.

Although the suburb of Rosetta recorded a 1.0% contraction since the census, the SA3 region grew by 1.1%, demonstrating contrasting population shifts. Growth in the local population was mostly generated by overseas migration, which served as the exclusive driver of population increases during recent periods. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For SA2 regions lacking these metrics, and to project age bracket distributions beyond 2032, regional and LGA forecasts from the Tasmanian State Government, published in 2022 with a 2021 baseline, are applied with adjustments calculated through a weighted aggregation of population changes from LGA to SA2 levels. Based on these anticipated demographic changes, the suburb of Rosetta is projected to experience population expansion slightly below the national median, with aggregated SA2-level data forecasting an increase of 128 residents by 2041, representing a total gain of 4.5% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Rosetta

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

32 new dwellings have been approved in Rosetta over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, well below 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 assigned from statistical data by AreaSearch reveals that Rosetta averages approximately 6 residential approvals annually, with a total of 32 dwellings approved during the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 4 approvals recorded so far in FY-26. Because population numbers dropped over the preceding period, housing supply has successfully satisfied demand, creating a balanced property market with ample options for buyers, while newly approved houses have a mean construction value of $279,000. Additionally, commercial approvals reached $5.8 million this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential identity of the locality.

Rosetta exhibits roughly half the per capita construction volume of Greater Hobart and ranks in the 27th percentile of all assessed locations nationwide, which keeps buyer options relatively limited and sustains interest in the established housing market. This level of activity also falls below the national average, reflecting a developed suburb that may face planning restrictions. Furthermore, all recent construction projects have consisted of detached houses, maintaining the suburban feel and attracting buyers who prioritize space. New developments are even more focused on detached housing than existing housing stock suggests (which stood at 79.0% at the Census), reflecting persistent demand for traditional family homes. With approximately 622 residents for each dwelling approval, Rosetta demonstrates the characteristics of a highly established property market. Projections indicate that Rosetta will add 127 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If the current rate of construction persists, the supply of dwellings should comfortably satisfy demand, establishing positive conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth that outpaces current forecasts.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Rosetta

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,355 residents of Rosetta are employed, from a labour force of 1,419. Unemployment sits at 4.5%, with participation at 60.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,292, about 82% 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

Rosetta is home to a skilled labor force with strong representation in essential services, showing an unemployment rate of 4.5% and a 1.3% growth in employment over the last year, according to aggregated statistical data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 1,355 employed residents, while the unemployment rate was 0.1% higher than the Greater Hobart rate of 4.4%, and workforce participation was slightly lower than regional standards, sitting at 60.5% compared to 63.8% in Greater Hobart. According to census data, only 7.6% of residents worked from their homes, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions.

The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, and retail trade. The local workforce has a notable concentration in manufacturing, which is 1.4 times higher than the regional average. By contrast, education & training is less represented, accounting for 9.3% of local employment compared to 10.8% across the region. Comparison of the census working population against the resident population suggests this mostly residential community has a limited local job market. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data aggregated from broader statistical regions, the past 12 months saw local employment rise by 1.3% and the labor force expand by 0.9%, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage points. This stands in contrast to Greater Hobart, where employment fell by 0.1%, the labor force grew by 0.2%, and unemployment increased by 0.3 percentage points. Employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future employment demand in Rosetta. These five-year and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary by industry. Weighting these sectoral projections against Rosetta's current workforce composition suggests local jobs would increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, assuming a simple extrapolation that does not account for localized population changes.

"Currency" is the most recent release feeding that section. Where the Census supplies the structural baseline underneath a current headline figure, the row says so.

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 — 48 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,833 at the 2021 Census → 2,806 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 (SAL60570). 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 Rosetta 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 Rosetta 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 Rosetta 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.
