Detail

The suburb of Youngtown exhibits a population density of 1,031 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader AreaSearch benchmark locations.

Furthermore, the 3.8% increase achieved by the suburb of Youngtown since the 2021 census outpaced the wider SA3 area (2.8%), establishing it as a local growth frontrunner.

Projections for each SA2 area incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset anchored to 2022 as the base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, as well as for post-2032 demographic projections by age cohort, AreaSearch utilizes the Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA figures (released in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline) converted via weighted aggregation from LGA to SA2 divisions. Looking ahead, population growth in the suburb of Youngtown is slated to track marginally beneath the non-capital city median, with aggregated SA2-level figures projecting a rise of 226 persons by 2041, representing a 16-year total increase of 3.6%.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

299 new dwellings have been approved in Youngtown over the past five years, an average of 59 a year. That places the area in the 50th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 13 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 89% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 22, well below that longer-run average.

Construction costs for these additions average $346,000 per dwelling. Residential supply continues to comfortably match or outstrip local needs, given a modest ratio of 0.7 additional residents per annum for each home built across the prior 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), widening buyer options and facilitating capacity for higher-than-anticipated population growth.

On the commercial front, approvals amounted to $4.0 million during this financial year, pointing to a restrained commercial development footprint. Per-capita building volume in Youngtown surpasses Rest of Tas. by 165.0%, underscoring substantial developer appetite and expanding market choices despite a recent moderation in construction tempo.

The area averages roughly 173 people per dwelling approval, highlighting an uncrowded residential market. According to the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch, Youngtown is slated to add 160 residents by 2041.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years.

The working-day population is estimated at 3,447, about 77% 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

Youngtown features a capable labor pool with notable concentration across essential service domains and a remarkably low unemployment rate of 2.1%, based on aggregated statistical area metrics compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,170, while the local jobless rate sat 1.8% beneath the 3.9% recorded for Regional Tas. Labor participation stood at a standard 60.7%, slightly above the 58.7% benchmark across Regional Tas. In addition, Census data showed a modest 6.3% of workers operating from home, an estimate that may have been influenced by prevailing Covid-19 restrictions.

Local workers are predominantly engaged across health care & social assistance, retail trade, and education & training. By contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.8% of the local workforce, trailing the 8.4% regional proportion. A comparison between Census working figures and resident worker totals indicates that this primarily residential district provides relatively few on-site workplace opportunities within its own borders. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, the 12-month period saw labour force decreasing by 2.3% combined with employment decreasing by 2.3%, with unemployment remaining essentially unchanged. This contrasts with Regional Tas., where employment rose by 1.8%, the labour force grew by 1.7%, and unemployment fell marginally. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Youngtown. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Youngtown's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.7% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 — 195 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,315 at the 2021 Census → 4,477 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 (SAL60775). 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 Youngtown 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 Youngtown 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 Youngtown 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 (Aug 2026), property sales & rents (Sep 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 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.
