Chart Color Schemes
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
Trevallyn has an estimated 4,878 residents, up from 4,826 at the 2021 Census — a change of 52 people, or 1.1%. That puts 502 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 Trevallyn stands at approximately 4,878 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 52 people (1.1%) from the 4,826 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This population shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 4,874 combined with 21 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level translates to a density of 501 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density living and room for prospective development. The local expansion rate of 1.1% since the census is within 1.5 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (2.6%), showing solid growth dynamics.
Overseas migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for roughly 51.7% of the total population increase in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024, which use 2022 as their baseline year, for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, and to project age bracket variations after 2032, the Tasmanian State Government's Regional/LGA projections from 2022 (using a 2021 baseline) are applied via a weighted aggregation method translating LGA data to the SA2 level. Future projections indicate growth aligned with the bottom quartile of non-metropolitan Australian areas, with a projected increase of 14 residents by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, representing a total rise of 0.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
31 new dwellings have been approved in Trevallyn over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 5, 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
Trevallyn has averaged approximately 6 residential building approvals annually, equating to a total of 31 dwellings during the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 5 approvals have been documented. Because the locality has seen a population decrease, this level of new housing has likely satisfied local demand, providing options for prospective buyers, with new builds averaging a construction cost of $319,000. In addition, commercial approvals valued at $153,000 have been registered during this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the suburb. In comparison to the Rest of Tas., building activity in Trevallyn is significantly constrained, tracking 71.0% below the regional per capita average.
This limited supply of new construction typically supports demand and values for established homes. This activity level is also below the national average, indicating a mature residential market and potential regulatory constraints on planning. Furthermore, all recent residential approvals have consisted of detached houses, maintaining the low-density profile of the area which appeals to buyers seeking space. The ratio of 1569 people per single dwelling approval highlights a very quiet development landscape. Long-term forecasts indicate Trevallyn will add 10 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Considering historical construction trends, the volume of new housing is expected to easily accommodate this demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions for buyers and potentially supporting population growth above current projections.

2,656 residents of Trevallyn are employed, from a labour force of 2,715. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 67.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,707, 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 workforce is characterized by high levels of education, strong representation in essential service industries, and an unemployment rate of only 2.2%. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,656, and the local unemployment rate was 1.8% lower than the Regional Tas. rate of 3.9%. Furthermore, workforce participation is elevated at 67.0%, compared to 58.8% across Regional Tas. According to Census data, a modest 7.8% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of COVID-19 restrictions. The resident workforce is heavily concentrated in health care & social assistance, education & training, and retail trade.
The concentration of employment in education & training is particularly high, reaching 1.7 times the regional average. In contrast, the agriculture, forestry & fishing sector has a minor footprint, accounting for 2.0% of local jobs compared to the regional average of 8.4%. The relationship between Census counts of local jobs and resident workers indicates that the immediate area provides relatively few local employment opportunities. AreaSearch's analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that during the 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 1.6% and the number of employed residents decreased by 1.6%, which kept the unemployment rate stable. This differed from Regional Tas., where employment expanded by 1.8%, the labor force grew by 1.7%, and unemployment declined slightly. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future workforce demand in Trevallyn. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to model growth. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sector growth rates vary. Applying these trends to the local workforce structure indicates that employment among Trevallyn residents would grow by 6.8% over five years and 14.2% over ten years, assuming a basic weighted projection that does not factor in local demographic 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 — 21 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,826 at the 2021 Census → 4,878 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 (602011049). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
