This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Austins Ferry - Granton is estimated at 4,704 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 407 people (9.5%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 4,297 residents. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 4,675 and 129 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The population density is 171 persons per square kilometer, which indicates low density and possibilities for future expansion. The 9.5% population increase outpaced the SA3 area (1.1%) and the SA4 region, positioning the locality as a regional leader in growth.
Natural increase was the primary contributor, accounting for 45.8% of the population growth, though other factors like overseas and interstate migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections, which use 2022 as their baseline. For SA2 areas not covered by these datasets, and to project age group dynamics beyond 2032, projections from the Tasmania State Government's 2022 release (with a 2021 base year) are utilized through a weighted aggregation method translating LGA-level growth to SA2 units. Future projections suggest that the locality will experience population growth above the national median, with an expected increase of 864 persons by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP figures, representing a 17.8% growth over the 16-year timeframe.

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. The working-day population is estimated at 3,758, about 80% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in.

Detail
Austins Ferry - Granton maintains a balanced workforce spanning white and blue collar employment, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of only 3.1%, and relative employment stability over the past year. As of March 2026, 2,560 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 1.3% below Greater Hobart's rate of 4.4%, and workforce participation is fairly standard (67.5% compared to Greater Hobart's 63.8%). Based on Census responses, a low 6.8% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. Local employment is concentrated within health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The area has a concentration in the construction sector, where the employment share is 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, education & training accounts for 7.5% of jobs, compared to the regional representation of 10.8%. Comparing the census working population to the resident population indicates that the locality offers few employment opportunities within its own boundaries. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, employment levels did not change (0.0%) over the 12-month period, while the labor force grew by 0.2%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.1 percentage points. In comparison, Greater Hobart saw a 0.1% drop in employment, a 0.2% increase in the labor force, and a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide a broader context for future employment demand in Austins Ferry - Granton. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce mix to estimate potential trends. Nationally, employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Applying these figures suggests local employment could rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, based on a simple weighting calculation that does not incorporate local 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 — 129 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,297 at the 2021 Census → 4,704 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 (601031013). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
