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.

Berriedale - Chigwell has an estimated 5,916 residents, up from 5,748 at the 2021 Census — a change of 168 people, or 2.9%. Growth has averaged 0.5% a year over five years. 141 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. That puts 174 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Berriedale - Chigwell stands at approximately 5,916 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 168 individuals (2.9%) from the 2021 Census, which documented 5,748 residents. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,916 alongside 141 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The current population translates to a density of 173 persons per square kilometer, which represents ample spatial availability per individual and opportunities for future building projects. The 2.9% expansion rate in Berriedale - Chigwell since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA3 region (1.1%), establishing the locality as a regional leader in expansion.
The primary catalyst for this demographic growth was overseas migration, which represented roughly 84.8% of the total population gains in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this dataset, and to project age group distributions beyond 2032, regional and LGA projections from the Tasmania State Government published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline are used, adjusted via a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 scales. Based on these projected demographic developments, the area is anticipated to experience population growth slightly under the national median for statistical areas, with a projected increase of 309 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a 5.2% overall expansion over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
193 new dwellings have been approved in Berriedale - Chigwell over the past five years, an average of 38 a year. That is 6.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 31 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 74% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
An average of approximately 38 new residential approvals have been logged annually in Berriedale - Chigwell, culminating in 193 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 31 approvals have been documented. Since construction over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) generated an average of just 0.7 additional residents per built dwelling per year, the supply of new housing is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, expanding choices for purchasers and facilitating population gains that may outstrip current projections, while new properties show an average construction cost of $284,000.
Additionally, commercial approvals worth $539,000 were logged this financial year, underscoring the residential focus of the locality. Berriedale - Chigwell displays a higher rate of building approvals relative to Greater Hobart, running at 49.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period, which maintains diverse options for buyers while underpinning current home values, even though building pace has slowed down lately. The recent building output consists of 74.0% freestanding houses and 26.0% medium and high-density dwellings, which maintains the low density character of the neighborhood while emphasizing separate homes that appeal to purchasers seeking space. The area has a ratio of roughly 227 individuals for every dwelling approval, pointing to a low density housing market. Projecting forward, Berriedale - Chigwell is expected to add 309 inhabitants by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. At the current pace of building activity, the incoming supply of housing should be sufficient to satisfy demand, creating beneficial conditions for purchasers and potentially supporting population growth that exceeds current predictions.

2,745 residents of Berriedale - Chigwell are employed, from a labour force of 2,971. Unemployment sits at 7.6%, with participation at 61.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,856, about 82% 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 workforce in Berriedale - Chigwell is skilled, with a strong representation in essential service industries and an overall unemployment rate of 7.6%. As of March 2026, 2,745 residents are employed, while the local unemployment rate sits 3.2% higher than the Greater Hobart rate of 4.4%, highlighting potential for economic improvement, and the participation rate is slightly below the regional benchmark (61.8% compared to 63.8% in Greater Hobart). Census data indicates that a minimal 6.2% of residents performed their job roles from home, although the influence of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions should be kept in mind.
Resident employment is primarily clustered in health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. The community displays a distinct concentration in the manufacturing sector, where employment proportions are 1.4 times the regional standard. Conversely, education & training is less represented, accounting for 8.0% of jobs compared to the regional average of 10.8%. The mismatch between the local working population and resident count suggests that the area offers few local jobs. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, during the 12-month period ending March 2026, the local labor force grew by 0.2% while total employment fell by 1.0%, leading to a 1.1 percentage point rise in unemployment. By comparison, Greater Hobart experienced a 0.1% decline in employment, a 0.2% increase in the labor force, and a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. Employment projections at a national level from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future employment needs in Berriedale - Chigwell. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce distribution to project future employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though expansion rates vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Berriedale - Chigwell indicates that local employment should rise by 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for visualization and does not account for local population dynamics).

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 — 141 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,748 at the 2021 Census → 5,916 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 (601031014). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
