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.

Montrose - Rosetta has an estimated 4,994 residents, down from 5,142 at the 2021 Census — a change of 148 people, or 2.9%. The population has thinned by an average 0.8% a year over five years, slower than 98% of areas nationally. That puts 872 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Montrose - Rosetta is estimated to be approximately 4,994 as of May 2026. This indicates a loss of 148 residents (2.9%) compared to the 5,142 individuals recorded during the 2021 Census. This shift is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 4,990 from June 2025 alongside 58 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The resulting population density stands at 871 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical figures across comparable locations. Growth in the local population was almost entirely generated by overseas migration, which served as the exclusive contributor to population increases in recent times.
Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, have been implemented for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and to calculate age cohort changes post-2032, regional and LGA projections from the Tasmania State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied, utilizing weighted aggregation to translate LGA figures to the SA2 level. Future trends suggest population expansion will rank slightly below the median of national statistical regions, with an projected rise of 215 residents to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 4.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
46 new dwellings have been approved in Montrose - Rosetta over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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
Montrose - Rosetta averages approximately 9 residential building approvals annually, with a total of 46 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 5 approvals have been documented. Because the local population has been declining, the supply of housing has successfully satisfied demand, maintaining a balanced property market with ample opportunities for buyers, while new builds carry an average construction cost of $306,000. Additionally, commercial projects valued at $11.6 million have been approved during the current financial year, showing moderate commercial expansion. Compared to the broader Greater Hobart region, development volume in Montrose - Rosetta is notably quiet (60.0% below the regional per capita average).
This low level of new building activity generally bolsters demand and values for established houses. It also tracks below the national average, highlighting the mature state of the local market and suggesting potential planning limitations. Recent construction consists solely of detached houses, maintaining the low-density character of the neighborhood through a focus on stand-alone homes that appeal to buyers wanting space. Notably, developers are focusing on traditional houses at a higher rate than the existing residential composition (which stood at 82.0% at the Census), pointing to sustained demand for family properties. The ratio of 856 people per single dwelling approval highlights the quiet nature of construction in the area. Future forecasts indicate that Montrose - Rosetta will gain 211 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Given the current pace of building, housing availability is expected to comfortably accommodate this demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions while potentially allowing growth to outpace current projections.

2,455 residents of Montrose - Rosetta are employed, from a labour force of 2,581. Unemployment sits at 4.9%, with participation at 60.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 4,158, about 83% 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 Montrose - Rosetta is characterised by skilled individuals with strong representation in essential services, showing an unemployment rate of 4.9% and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, there were 2,455 employed locals, with an unemployment rate sitting 0.5% higher than the Greater Hobart average of 4.4%. Workforce participation is slightly low, registering at 60.6% compared to the 63.8% recorded for Greater Hobart. Census data shows a low proportion of residents working from home at 6.6%, though this may reflect the influence of pandemic lockdowns.
The primary employment sectors for residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety. The neighborhood features a particularly high concentration of workers in manufacturing, at 1.3 times the regional average. In contrast, the education & training sector is less represented, accounting for 8.1% of employment compared to the regional average of 10.8%. This mostly residential community seems to offer few local jobs, as shown by the relationship between the Census working population and the resident population. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, the number of employed residents rose by 0.5% and the labor force expanded by 0.2%, leading to a decrease in the unemployment rate of 0.3 percentage points. This contrasts with Greater Hobart, which saw employment fall by 0.1%, the labor force grow by 0.2%, and unemployment increase by 0.3 percentage points. Long-term employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective demand in Montrose - Rosetta. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by sector. Applying these industry trends to the local employment mix yields a projected job growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years for Montrose - Rosetta, representing a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local population adjustments.

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 — 58 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,142 at the 2021 Census → 4,994 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.
