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.

Latrobe has an estimated 5,928 residents, up from 5,385 at the 2021 Census — a change of 543 people, or 10.1%. Growth has averaged 1.9% a year over five years. 251 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 80.5% of that increase. Density is about 28 people per 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
Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Latrobe holds a population of roughly 5,928 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 543 people (10.1%) compared to the 5,385 people recorded during the 2021 Census. Such growth is determined using the ABS estimated resident population figure of 5,786 as of June 2025 alongside 251 validated new addresses identified following the Census. With this population base, the local density stands at 27 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space for residents. Outpacing both the wider state and the SA4 region (4.0%), Latrobe's 10.1% gain establishes it as a regional growth frontrunner.
The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion has been interstate migration, accounting for roughly 80.5% of net population additions across recent timeframes. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as the base year) are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. In areas lacking this coverage, and when projecting age-bracket shifts beyond 2032, population models incorporate the Tasmania State Government's Regional/LGA projections (released in 2022 with a 2021 base year), adjusted via weighted aggregation from LGA down to SA2 boundaries. Anticipated demographic trajectories point to growth tracking slightly under the national regional median, with local numbers projected to rise by 508 persons to 2041 relative to recent annual ERP data, amounting to a 6.2% cumulative increase over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
241 new dwellings have been approved in Latrobe over the past five years, an average of 48 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 48 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential planning approvals across Latrobe have averaged roughly 48 dwellings annually, culminating in 241 homes during the past 5 financial years. A ratio of 2.1 new residents per year added for each completed residence over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26) underscores sustained demand that supports real estate values, with new builds carrying an average construction value of $368,000. Additionally, non-residential activity has seen $16.8 million in commercial approvals this financial year, reflecting a moderate pace of commercial development. On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Latrobe sit 76.0% above Rest of Tas., providing prospective purchasers with broader selection.
Building activity is overwhelmingly centered on detached houses at 98.0%, while townhouses or apartments make up 2.0%, preserving the traditional low-density neighborhood environment centered around spacious family residences. A ratio of roughly 113 people per approval highlights the district's active development status. According to the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Latrobe is anticipated to gain 366 residents by 2041. Present construction volumes suggest that incoming residential stock will comfortably absorb projected demand, maintaining favorable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting demographic expansion exceeding current forecasts.

Winner of Engineers Australia Excellence Award 2024 Project of the Year Tasmania and Civil Contractors Federation Earth Awards.
Sassafras Wesley Vale Irrigation Scheme Augmentation
The $124.2 million Sassafras Wesley Vale Irrigation Scheme Augmentation (SWISA) will deliver an additional 9.2 gigalitres of high-surety water annually, tripling the current supply to 14.9 gigalitres. The works involve the installation and refurbishment of over 100 km of pipeline, construction of the Saggers Hill Balance Tank, and two pump stations (new and refurbished). The project aims to support crop diversification into high-value products like berries and viticulture for over 130 irrigators across 18,000 hectares of agricultural land in North West Tasmania.
Hydrogen Devonport Project
Proposed 5 MW Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen production facility and refuelling station at 226 Mill Road, Wesley Vale, around 10 kilometres east of Devonport. The project is the northern hub of Tasmania's Hydrogen HyWay #1 and is designed to produce up to 690 tonnes (around 2.1 tonnes per day) of green hydrogen each year for the heavy road transport sector and for industrial users in northern Tasmania. Hydrogen will be produced via electrolysis using renewable power initially drawn from the Tasmanian grid, with later supply from a neighbouring behind-the-meter solar farm and water sourced from the TasWater network.The refuelling station will include two 350 bar dispensers to serve fuel cell trucks moving freight to and from the ports of Burnie and Devonport. As of April 2026 the project is finalising its Environmental Effects Report with EPA Tasmania, with a Development Application to Latrobe Council in preparation. Plug Power has been selected as PEM electrolyser supplier, Fabrum Solutions for the refuelling station and Wasco (Australia) as construction contractor. A final investment decision is targeted for the first half of 2027, with commercial operations anticipated during 2028. The project is supported by an AUD$8 million Tasmanian Government rebate package under the Green Hydrogen Price Reduction Scheme, payable on delivery of green hydrogen to customers.
Devonport Mental Health Hub

The project supports the Living City CBD renewal, adds medium-density housing, and activates Edward Street with new retail.
North West Support School Devonport
The Tasmanian Government is undertaking a $62.15 million redevelopment of the North West Support School Devonport campus on a new site. The redevelopment will provide new purpose-built learning facilities for students and staff.
2,776 residents of Latrobe are employed, from a labour force of 2,881. Unemployment sits at 3.6%, with participation at 59.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
A well-diversified labour market characterizes Latrobe, incorporating both blue and white collar roles alongside robust manufacturing and industrial activity, an unemployment rate of merely 3.6%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 2.7%. Employed locals numbered 2,776 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate stood 0.3% below the 3.9% recorded across Regional Tas., and workforce participation matched the Regional Tas. benchmark of 58.7%. Census findings showed a modest 7.0% working from home, a metric that may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions. Key sectors employing local residents comprise health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction.
Concentration is notably high in transport, postal & warehousing, where local employment share is 1.6 times the regional mark. In contrast, education & training accounts for a smaller footprint of 7.1%, compared with the 8.8% regional benchmark. Comparing the Census count of working residents against local jobs indicates that many workers travel outside the immediate vicinity for their employment. Analysis of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch indicates that in the 12 months to March 2026, employment grew by 2.7% against a 3.3% rise in the labour pool, driving a 0.5 percentage points uptick in unemployment. In contrast, Regional Tas. experienced 1.8% employment growth and a 1.7% increase in the labour force, accompanied by a slight decrease in joblessness. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Latrobe across five and ten-year horizons when weighted against local industry composition. While nationwide employment is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely across industries. Applying these sector-level expectations to Latrobe's industry profile indicates potential local employment gains of 5.8% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (note that this represents a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and excludes localized 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 — 251 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,385 at the 2021 Census → 5,928 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 (604021087). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
