Suburb profile

Claremont is a middle-ring metropolitan suburb of Hobart, in Glenorchy Council, characterised by heritage streetscapes alongside mixed commercial and residential development.

Shops and everyday services are easier to access than in most comparable places. Health access is an exceptional strength, well above typical levels for middle-ring metropolitan suburbs. Rents sit a little below those in comparable places. The suburb has an unusually high concentration of heritage listings. Crime in the wider Glenorchy Police Division remains above typical levels but is improving. Reported offences have fallen 15% year on year. Employment is a relative weakness, with employment 16% below the peer median.

Claremont is a better fit for people who value heritage character and daily services more than employment.

ABS Estimated Resident Population allocated to this suburb from SA2-level data. Not an official ABS suburb count.

Methodology

Figures are allocated from ABS Estimated Resident Population at Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2), using 2021 Census share within overlapping SA2 regions. Where Census data is unavailable, area overlap is used instead.

The dashed chart line is a simple growth-trend estimate to June 2030 (~8,900), extrapolated at +0.7% average annual growth since 2011. It is illustrative only — not an official ABS forecast.

ABS Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA), 2021 release — the latest available, derived from the 2021 Census. Deciles rank suburbs nationally from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).

What do IRSAD and IRSD measure?

IRSAD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Advantage and Disadvantage. Combines indicators of advantage (e.g. high income, skilled occupations) and disadvantage. Higher decile = more advantaged relative to other Australian areas.

IRSD — Index of Relative Socio-economic Disadvantage. Focuses on disadvantage only (e.g. low income, unemployment, limited education). Higher decile = less disadvantage nationally.

A new SEIFA edition typically follows each census; the ABS has not announced a release date beyond 2021.
