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.

This marks an expansion of 194 people (5.6%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 3,452 people.

Natural increase served as the primary growth engine, accounting for roughly 53.1% of recent demographic expansion. Projections for SA2 districts utilize 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia modeling benchmarked to 2022. For areas lacking this coverage, as well as post-2032 age distribution estimates, 2022 Tasmania State Government Regional/LGA projections based on 2021 are implemented via a population-weighted aggregation technique converting LGA data to SA2 boundaries. Future demographic trajectories point to an above median population growth compared to national benchmarks, with an anticipated gain of 598 persons by 2041 according to the newest annual ERP figures, translating to a 16.3% cumulative rise over the 16 years.

The working-day population is estimated at 2,776, about 76% 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 local labour market in Geilston Bay - Risdon features an educated workforce with strong engagement in core public services, an unemployment rate sitting at just 2.1%, and steady employment conditions over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,969, while the jobless rate stood 2.3% below the 4.4% recorded across Greater Hobart. Labour participation remains solid at 66.6% compared to 63.7% in Greater Hobart. Meanwhile, Census data indicated that only 8.0% of local workers operated from home, though potential distortions from Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind.

Public administration & safety shows exceptional concentration locally, with a workforce proportion 1.4 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, accommodation & food provides jobs to only 6.0% of resident workers, trailing the 8.0% seen across Greater Hobart. Comparing local Census working figures against resident worker numbers reveals a relatively modest volume of internal employment opportunities within the suburb. AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM figures indicates that in the 12 months to March 2026, the local workforce grew by 0.1% while resident employment shrank by 0.2%, yielding a 0.2 percentage point uptick in the jobless rate. Across Greater Hobart over the same timeframe, employment contracted by 0.1%, the workforce rose by 0.2%, and unemployment climbed 0.3 percentage points.

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 — 61 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,452 at the 2021 Census → 3,646 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 (601021006). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
