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.

Sales Detail
Bellerive - Rosny has an estimated 6,576 residents, up from 6,522 at the 2021 Census. That puts 1,393 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 by AreaSearch, Bellerive - Rosny has a population of approximately 6,576 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 54 people (0.8%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 6,522 individuals. The shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 6,561 from June 2025 alongside 55 validated new addresses identified since the Census. This population size results in a density of 1,393 persons per square kilometer, a figure that exceeds the typical density of domestic locations analyzed by AreaSearch. The upward population trajectory was mostly driven by arrivals from abroad, which comprised about 95.2% of the overall population increases lately.
ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2. For areas lacking this information, and to project age distributions past 2032, regional projections from the Tasmania State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied, adjusted via a weighted aggregation of population changes from the LGA level down to SA2s. Looking ahead, growth in the lowest quartile of national statistics is anticipated, with the location projected to add 268 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total rise of 3.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
82 new dwellings have been approved in Bellerive - Rosny over the past five years, an average of 16 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Building approvals in Bellerive - Rosny average roughly 16 dwellings annually, with 82 residences approved throughout the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 3 thus far during FY-26. Given that an average of 1.1 new residents per year arrived for each new dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), supply matches demand closely to support a balanced market, though recent records indicate this has shifted to -1.2 people per dwelling over the past 2 financial years, pointing to improved supply options. New builds carry an average value of $359,000, indicating that builders are targeting upscale buyers with premium projects.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $25.6 million have been registered during this financial year, pointing to steady business development. Bellerive - Rosny displays significantly quieter building trends compared to Greater Hobart, sitting 60.0% below the regional per capita average. This constrained new supply tends to bolster demand and pricing for existing housing stock. This volume is also below the national standard, reflecting the built-out nature of the locality and hinting at possible planning constraints. Recent projects consist of 62.0% standalone houses and 38.0% medium and high-density formats, with a rising proportion of townhouses and apartments offering choices across various budget levels, ranging from traditional family homes to cheaper compact alternatives. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock (which stands at 84.0% houses), signaling a decline in available land and reflecting modern lifestyle preferences for diverse, affordable options. With approximately 376 people per approval, the local market exhibits mature characteristics. Long-term projections indicate that Bellerive - Rosny is set to add 253 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Looking at current construction trends, incoming housing supply appears positioned to satisfy this demand, presenting favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population expansion above current forecasts.

3,342 residents of Bellerive - Rosny are employed, from a labour force of 3,430. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 61.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,270, about 111% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 local workforce is characterized by high education levels and strong representation in key service sectors, alongside a low unemployment rate of 2.6% and solid job market consistency over the preceding year. As of March 2026, there are 3,342 employed residents, with the unemployment rate tracking 1.8% below the Greater Hobart average of 4.4%, while participation in the workforce is slightly lower than usual (61.1% versus 63.8% in Greater Hobart). Census statistics show that a modest 10.3% of the working population operated from home, though this may have been influenced by past pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment fields for local workers are health care & social assistance, education & training, and public administration & safety. The workforce shows a notable concentration in public administration & safety, employing residents at 1.2 times the regional average rate. In contrast, manufacturing has a smaller footprint, employing 4.1% of workers compared to 5.2% across the region. A ratio of 0.7 workers per resident at the time of the Census indicates a higher volume of local job opportunities than is typical. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the latest 12-month period saw a 0.1% increase in the labour force alongside a 0.1% decrease in employment, which led to a 0.3 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Greater Hobart saw employment fall by 0.1% and the labour force grow by 0.2%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point increase. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Bellerive - Rosny. These projections, spanning five-year and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although employment nationwide is projected to increase by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry projections to the employment mix of Bellerive - Rosny suggests local employment will rise by 6.8% over five years and 14.0% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local 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 — 55 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,522 at the 2021 Census → 6,576 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 (601021004). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
