Common questions about this ranking
What are the hobart suburbs where young families live?
Bridgewater has the highest share, at 24.9% of residents. Margate and Chigwell follow. These 15 suburbs came from a field of 39 eligible Hobart suburbs.
How is this ranking put together?
Each Hobart suburb is ranked by the share of its residents aged 0-14 in the 2021 Census — that age group's count divided by the suburb's total population. Only suburbs with at least 2,000 residents are included, and percentile ranks are computed within Hobart's pool, so the list reflects concentration relative to other metro suburbs.
Where does the data come from?
The Australian Bureau of Statistics 2021 Census age tables — the same figures behind the age profile shown on each suburb page. Nothing is estimated or inferred about any individual.
Why would someone use this list?
People often want to settle where families with children are well represented — for the amenities, services, and social fabric that tend to follow. This is a factual demographic snapshot to help with that, not a judgement about any suburb.
How current is it?
The figures are from the 2021 Census, the most recent available until results from the August 2026 Census are released in 2027. The top 15 is recomputed whenever we refresh the census data.
