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.

Sales Detail
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
Montrose - Rosetta records an estimated population of approximately 4,994 as of Aug 2026, according to analysis by AreaSearch. In comparison with the 2021 Census tally of 5,142 people, this represents a reduction of 148 people (2.9%). This estimate is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,990 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 57 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The resulting population density stands at 871 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks across locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Recent population expansion was primarily propelled by overseas migration, which served as practically the exclusive source of demographic increases.
Projections published in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) by the ABS and Geoscience Australia are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. Where SA2 coverage is unavailable, and when projecting age-specific cohorts beyond 2032, the Tasmanian State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2022 (anchored to a 2021 base year) are incorporated via a weighted aggregation methodology from LGA to SA2 divisions. Looking ahead, population growth is projected to track slightly below the national median for statistical areas, with Montrose - Rosetta anticipated to add 227 persons by 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, translating to an overall rise of 4.5% across 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. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential approvals in Montrose - Rosetta have tracked at roughly 9 new homes annually, totaling 46 homes approved throughout the last 5 financial years (from FY-22 to FY-26). Amid recent demographic contractions, incoming supply has generally met local demand while providing adequate options for purchasers, with newly approved dwellings carrying an average value of $363,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals amounting to $11.6 million were logged during this financial year, pointing toward an orderly volume of commercial development. Building activity within Montrose - Rosetta remains notably subdued when measured against Greater Hobart, falling 57.0% below the regional per-capita average.
Such limited construction generally reinforces values and buyer interest across established dwellings. These numbers also sit below national standards, highlighting the established state of the locality and potential regulatory limitations. Recent building approvals have consisted entirely of detached dwellings, thereby maintaining the low-density profile of the community and appealing to buyers seeking standalone properties. Developers are prioritizing standalone houses above the prevailing housing breakdown (82.0% at Census), demonstrating steady appetite for traditional family dwellings. A ratio of 773 people per dwelling approval underscores the calm, low-intensity construction pipeline in the area. According to demographic projections from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release, Montrose - Rosetta is slated to gain 223 residents by 2041. Ongoing construction levels appear appropriately aligned with prospective demand, fostering balanced property conditions without triggering excessive price escalation.

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
A capable labor pool characterizes Montrose - Rosetta, where essential services are strongly represented, the jobless rate sits at 4.9%, and job conditions have remained steady across the preceding twelve months. Employed locals numbered 2,455 as of March 2026, with an unemployment rate 0.5% above the Greater Hobart benchmark of 4.4% and a labor force participation rate somewhat lower than typical levels (60.6% versus 63.7% in Greater Hobart). Census findings indicated that 6.6% of workers operated from home, though this figure was captured during Covid-19 restrictions. Key sectors employing local residents include health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety.
Manufacturing demonstrates notable concentration, registering a local share 1.3 times the regional average. By contrast, education & training is comparatively underrepresented, accounting for 8.1% of local workers against the regional standard of 10.8%. Comparing the Census working population to local residents indicates that this predominantly residential suburb generates a modest quantity of internal jobs. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures indicate that over the year ending March 2026, local employment grew by 0.5% while the labor pool expanded by 0.2%, reducing the local unemployment rate by 0.3 percentage points. Across Greater Hobart, employment declined by 0.1% alongside a 0.2% increase in the labor force, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. Long-term outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding forward demand. These national five- and ten-year projections, applied to the local workforce structure, show potential industry shifts. While national employment is anticipated to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary across specific industries. Applying these sectoral forecasts to Montrose - Rosetta indicates potential local workforce growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that does not account for localized population changes).

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 — 57 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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 (601031018). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
