Sales Detail
Waverley (Tas.) has an estimated 1,678 residents, up from 1,583 at the 2021 Census — a change of 95 people, or 6.0%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 56.0% of that increase. That puts 154 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
In the suburb of Waverley (Tas.), the population stands at approximately 1,678 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch analysis combining broader regional ABS population updates with post-Census validated new addresses. Compared to the 2021 Census count of 1,583 people, this represents an addition of 95 people (6.0%). This calculation builds upon an estimated resident population of 1,650 derived by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 45 validated new addresses identified after the Census date. With a density ratio of 154 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample space per resident as well as capacity for future expansion.
Outpacing both the wider state and the SA3 area (2.8%), the 6.0% expansion recorded in the suburb of Waverley (Tas.) since the 2021 census positions it as a regional growth leader. Overseas migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 56.00000000000001% of total population gains in recent times, supplemented by positive additions across interstate migration and natural growth. Population projections for the suburb of Waverley (Tas.) utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 figures published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 coverage is unavailable and for post-2032 age-cohort projections, AreaSearch incorporates the Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections (released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year), adjusting them through a weighted aggregation methodology from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Anticipated demographic shifts suggest expansion will align with the lower quartile of non-metropolitan regions across Australia, with aggregated SA2-level modeling forecasting a rise of 70 persons to 2041, which equates to an overall gain of 2.5% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Residential building activity in Waverley is subdued, generating 3 dwelling approvals annually and totaling 19 dwellings over the five-year period. These modest figures highlight the rural setting of the market, in which construction is primarily prompted by local housing requirements instead of broad market demand. Because overall volumes are small, individual building proposals can exert a noticeable effect on comparative statistics and yearly growth rates. Building activity in Waverley remains considerably subdued relative to Rest of Tas., and it also tracks below national benchmarks. Detached houses have accounted for all recent construction, underscoring the rural nature of the locality where spacious environments and larger allotments prevail.
This focus on detached dwellings exceeds the proportion observed at the Census (84.0%), highlighting sustained demand for standalone family homes even amidst broader density pressures. Displaying characteristics typical of a low density area, Waverley registers approximately 114 people per dwelling approval. According to demographic projections based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate, Waverley is slated to add 42 residents through to 2041. Ongoing building volumes appear sufficient to accommodate this anticipated demand, maintaining advantageous conditions for purchasers and potentially facilitating growth above current projections.

688 residents of Waverley (Tas.) are employed, from a labour force of 762. Unemployment sits at 9.6%, with participation at 57.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,408, about 84% 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
The labour market in Waverley features a balanced distribution between blue and white collar positions across diverse industry sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 9.6% based on aggregated statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 688, while the local unemployment rate stood 5.6% above the 3.9% recorded in Regional Tas., pointing to scope for improvement, even as labour force participation closely mirrored the 58.7% mark of Regional Tas.. Census records indicated that 2.2% of local workers operated from home, though these findings were subject to the influence of Covid-19 lockdown measures.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are construction, retail trade, and health care & social assistance. Retail trade exhibits notable local specialization, commanding a workforce share 1.4 times that of the broader region. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 3.3% employment in the locality versus 8.4% regionally. Comparison between the resident population and the Census working population suggests that local job opportunities remain limited. SALM and ABS figures aggregated by AreaSearch from wider statistical areas reveal that over the 12 months to March 2026, Waverley recorded a 3.2% drop in the labour force and a 3.4% decline in employment, while unemployment remained virtually unchanged. In contrast, Regional Tas. experienced a 1.7% expansion in the labour force, employment growth of 1.8%, and a slight decrease in unemployment. Future labour demand insights can be drawn from Jobs and Skills Australia's Mar-26 national employment projections, which map five and ten-year sectoral expectations against the local job profile. Across Australia, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral rates vary substantially. Extrapolating these industry trends to Waverley's specific mix indicates potential local employment gains of 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, noting this simple weighting model serves illustrative purposes and excludes localized 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 — 45 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,583 at the 2021 Census → 1,678 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL60724). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
