Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.
A 34% population jump since 2011 has seen Hadspen grow to 2,337 people. This growth is paired with a younger profile than most similar areas, as the typical resident is now 39 years old. It is a family-heavy community where children make up a larger share of the population than in the rest of the state.
The population has grown by 596 people over the last decade. This makes Hadspen larger than about 76% of similar areas, with a typical resident who is a little older than the national figure.
Half the population is older than this age, and half younger.
Age profile
How the population splits across age groups.
Children under 15 make up 20.8% of the population, which is well above the Tasmanian figure. This helps explain why the area is younger than most, while the share of seniors has fallen to 17.8%.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people make up 3.4% of the population, a little below the state figure. Half of the residents are married, while 13.4% are in a de facto relationship.
