DemographicsPopulation Growth in Warrane

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Warrane has an estimated 2,655 residents, down from 2,695 at the 2021 Census — a change of 40 people, or 1.5%. The population has thinned by an average 0.5% a year over five years, slower than 96% of areas nationally. That puts 665 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

Based on demographic evaluations from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with updated addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Warrane has an estimated resident count of 2,655 in May 2026. This represents a decline of 40 people (1.5%) from the 2021 Census, when the headcount stood at 2,695. The current estimate is derived from a baseline of 2,642 residents calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025), supplemented by 72 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With this population level, the local density stands at 665 persons per square kilometer, indicating low crowding and capacity for future expansion.

Local growth has been almost entirely supported by net overseas migration, which served as the exclusive contributor to demographic expansion in recent times. Future projections for each SA2 region are sourced from ABS and Geoscience Australia models published in 2024, using 2022 as their starting point. Where these figures are unavailable, or to model age cohorts after 2032, projections from the Tasmanian State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied, utilizing weighted aggregation of population changes from the LGA level down to SA2 zones. Based on these aggregated SA2 projections, future demographic growth is anticipated to run slightly below the national median for similar areas, with the suburb of Warrane expected to add 215 residents by 2041, representing a cumulative increase of 7.6% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Warrane

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

80 new dwellings have been approved in Warrane over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 5.9 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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

According to analysis of ABS building approvals compiled from localized data, Warrane averages approximately 16 residential approvals annually, with an estimated cumulative total of 80 properties approved over the preceding 5 financial years. For the current FY-26 period, 5 approvals have been documented. Since the population has contracted recently, the supply of housing has successfully satisfied demand, maintaining a balanced market with ample opportunities for buyers, while newly approved dwellings carry an average construction cost of $376,000, indicating a focus by builders on higher-end, premium housing. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $6.3 million during the current financial year, highlighting that the locality remains predominantly residential.

In comparison to the broader Greater Hobart region, the rate of construction approvals per resident in Warrane is highly consistent, ensuring a balanced market in line with the wider metropolitan zone. Recent building permits have consisted entirely of detached houses, which supports the low-density character of the neighborhood and appeals to buyers seeking personal space. Currently, there are approximately 313 people per dwelling approval, confirming the low-density profile of the housing sector. Long-term projections indicate that the suburb of Warrane is set to add 202 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent quarterly estimate by AreaSearch.

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 — 72 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,695 at the 2021 Census → 2,655 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 (SAL60718). 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 Warrane 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 Warrane 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 Warrane 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.
