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.

Natural increase accounts for 63.1% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land.

Detail
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch place the population of Burnie - Ulverstone Surrounds at roughly 5,446 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 271 people (5.2%) compared to the 5,175 people counted in the 2021 Census. This adjustment stems from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,426 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 90 validated new addresses logged following the Census. The local population density stands at 4.0 persons per square kilometer, providing residents with considerable personal space. Expanding at 5.2% since the 2021 census, Burnie - Ulverstone Surrounds outpaced both the SA3 area (3.4%) and the wider SA4 region to emerge as a regional growth leader.
The expansion was primarily underpinned by natural increase, which generated approximately 63.1% of recent demographic gains, supported by positive contributions from both overseas migration and interstate migration. Population projections for each SA2 area utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 with 2022 serving as the base year. Where SA2 coverage is absent, and for age cohort projections beyond the post-2032 period, data relies on the Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections issued in 2022 with 2021 as the base year, adjusted through a weighted aggregation process from LGA to SA2 geographies. Based on these demographic models, the total population is projected to contract by 230 persons by 2041. In contrast, several specific age brackets will see gains, most notably the 75 to 84 age group, which is projected to expand by 159 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
46 new dwellings have been approved in Burnie - Ulverstone Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 1.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approvals in Burnie - Ulverstone Surrounds have averaged approximately 9 new homes annually, amounting to 46 homes over the past 5 financial years. Over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of 5.2 people arrived in the locality for each newly constructed residence, creating a situation where supply significantly trails demand, intensifying buyer competition and elevating price pressures. New residential projects carry an average construction cost of $504,000, underscoring a developer emphasis on upmarket, premium dwellings. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $1.5 million this financial year, reflecting subdued commercial development.
Compared with Rest of Tas., building activity across Burnie - Ulverstone Surrounds is noticeably subdued, trailing the per-capita regional benchmark by 54.0%. Although construction has gathered pace across recent periods, this limited flow of new builds typically underpins buyer interest and property values across the existing dwelling stock. Activity is likewise trailing national figures, pointing to an established urban footprint and potential town planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent residential building activity comprises detached houses, preserving the low-density character of the neighborhood and attracting buyers pursuing spacious living. A ratio of roughly 416 people per dwelling approval demonstrates the quiet nature of the local construction sector. With demographic models indicating flat or declining population numbers, Burnie - Ulverstone Surrounds could experience softened demand across the housing market, potentially offering advantages to prospective buyers.

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 — 90 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,175 at the 2021 Census → 5,446 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.
