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.

Rokeby has an estimated 9,429 residents, up from 7,874 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,555 people, or 19.7%. Growth has averaged 4.2% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. 760 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 46.1% of that increase. That puts 612 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Rokeby is approximately 9,429 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,555 people (19.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which counted 7,874 residents. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 9,227 along with 760 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Based on these numbers, the local population density is 611 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment with capacity for future residential expansion. The population growth of 19.7% since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA4 region (3.9%) and Greater Hobart, positioning the area as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this population expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 46.1% of the total demographic growth, though other factors such as natural increase and overseas migration also made positive contributions. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year for individual SA2 locations. In cases where SA2 data is unavailable, or to model age-related demographic changes past 2032, projection models from the Tasmania State Government published in 2022 using 2021 as the base year are applied, adjusting the figures by using a weighted aggregation method to scale population trends from the LGA to the SA2 level. Future projections indicate that the district will experience population expansion exceeding national medians, with expectations to gain 1,947 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing an overall increase of 18.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
799 new dwellings have been approved in Rokeby over the past five years, an average of 159 a year. That places the area in the 92nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 17 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 113 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 99% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 126, broadly in line with 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
The locality of Rokeby has averaged approximately 159 residential building approvals annually, resulting in a total of 799 homes during the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 116 approvals documented. Reflecting strong local demand that supports property values, these new dwellings are constructed at an average cost of $248,000, with an average of 2.1 new residents per year per dwelling recorded across the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25. Additionally, commercial development approvals have reached $33.2 million this financial year, highlighting significant local business investments.
When measured on a per capita basis, building activity in Rokeby is 217.0% higher than in Greater Hobart, offering buyers a wide range of options despite a recent moderation in construction pacing. This level of activity is substantially higher than the national norm, illustrating strong interest from property developers. New housing construction is dominated by detached homes at 99.0%, with townhouses and apartments comprising just 1.0%, maintaining the low-density profile of the community and appealing to buyers seeking larger home sites. With a ratio of approximately 80 people per approved dwelling, the area exhibits classic features of a developing growth zone. Long-term forecasts suggest Rokeby will add 1,745 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Considering ongoing construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy this demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling population growth that outstrips current projections.

Oceana Phase 2 Master Plan
An approved master plan for integrated conservation management and limited residential development (Coventry Rise and Oceana Rise) on the Rokeby Hills above Howrah and Tranmere. It proposes bushland lots and residential clusters close to nature, providing for various residential living styles and maintaining bushland for conservation and public open space.
4,201 residents of Rokeby are employed, from a labour force of 4,569. Unemployment sits at 8.1%, with participation at 63.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 7,820, 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
Rokeby features a workforce with diverse skills and a strong presence in essential services sectors, alongside an unemployment rate of 8.1%. As of March 2026, there are 4,201 employed residents, while the local unemployment rate sits 3.7% above the Greater Hobart average of 4.4%, indicating capacity for labor market improvement, and participation in the workforce aligns closely with the Greater Hobart average of 63.8%. Data from the Census indicates that only a minor 5.7% of local workers operate from home, though this figure may be influenced by historic COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and public administration & safety. Conversely, the professional & technical sector is underrepresented, employing only 4.3% of the workforce compared to the regional figure of 6.6%. The discrepancy between the local working population and resident population at the Census indicates that the area provides a relatively low number of jobs within its own boundaries. AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, the local labor force expanded by 0.1% while total employment fell by 0.8%, causing the unemployment rate to climb by 0.9 percentage points. This divergence from Greater Hobart is clear, as the metropolitan area experienced a 0.1% reduction in employment, a 0.2% growth in the labor force, and a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. National employment projections published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia help clarify potential future demands within Rokeby. These projections, spanning five-year and ten-year horizons, have been applied to local employment sectors to model future opportunities. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these growth trajectories vary widely by industry. Weighting these industry-specific projections against Rokeby's current labor profile suggests that local employment could grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate local 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 — 760 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,874 at the 2021 Census → 9,429 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (601021011). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
