# Demographics & Identity — Stieglitz

Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.

Area: Stieglitz (Urban Centre)

A typical resident in Stieglitz is now 60 years old, making this one of the oldest areas of its kind. The population grew by 44% since 2011 to reach 724 people, but the age profile has shifted dramatically toward seniors.

The typical age of 60 is far older than the national figure of 38. This is a significant jump from 2011, when the typical resident was 41.

About 4.3% of residents identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, which is slightly above the Australian figure. More than half the population is married, and 14.0% are in a de facto relationship, which is higher than most areas.

Seniors aged 65 and over make up 40.7% of the population, which is far above the Tasmanian figure. This shift helps explain why children under 15 have fallen to just 11.7%, a figure well below the national average.
