Double Bay - Darling Point has an estimated 10,218 residents, up from 9,958 at the 2021 Census — a change of 260 people, or 2.6%. That puts 6,550 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail
According to the analysis of AreaSearch, the population of Double Bay - Darling Point is estimated at 10,218 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 260 individuals (2.6%) from the 9,958 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 10,216 alongside 40 validated new addresses identified since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 6,550 persons per square kilometer, placing this location within the highest 10% of areas nationwide evaluated by AreaSearch, indicating extremely high land demand.
The post-census growth rate of 2.6% is within 3.0 percentage points of the broader SA3 area (5.6%), reflecting strong underlying growth dynamics. The expansion was primarily fueled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 94.9% of the total population increases in recent times. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for each SA2 region, which were published in 2024 utilizing 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are implemented. The age cohort growth rates derived from these sources are also projected forward for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographic developments, the area is projected to experience growth slightly under the national median, increasing by 688 individuals by 2041 when measured from the most recent annual ERP data, which translates to a total rise of 6.7% over the 16-year timeframe.

Detail
In Double Bay - Darling Point, annual dwelling approvals have averaged roughly 21, with a total of 107 residential approvals registered over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and 78 recorded during FY-26 so far. Because the population declined in the preceding interval, the supply of housing has remained sufficient to meet demand, yielding a balanced market environment with ample options for buyers, while newly approved residential projects carry an average building cost of $1,586,000, indicating that builders are focusing on high-end, premium developments. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $14.9 million have been documented in the current financial year, pointing to steady commercial construction sectors.
Relative to Greater Sydney, the per capita rate of new residential approvals in Double Bay - Darling Point is about three-quarters as high, positioning it in the 30th percentile of all analyzed locations across the country, which restricts options for prospective buyers and sustains demand for established properties. This level of activity is also lower than the national average, highlighting the mature state of the local market and hinting at potential space or regulatory limitations on development. The mix of new construction consists of 12.0% separate houses and 88.0% multi-unit structures like apartments or townhouses. This concentration of higher-density housing offers entry-level options and appeals to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. A ratio of approximately 576 residents for every new approval underscores the mature and settled character of Double Bay - Darling Point. Looking forward, the population of Double Bay - Darling Point is projected to rise by 686 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Construction activity is currently keeping pace with these demographic forecasts, though buyers may face increased competition as the number of residents rises.

6,471 residents of Double Bay - Darling Point are employed, from a labour force of 6,619. Unemployment sits at 2.2%, with participation at 72.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 labor force residing in Double Bay - Darling Point is highly qualified, with strong representation in technology fields, an unemployment rate of only 2.2%, and an estimated job growth rate of 1.9% over the prior year. In March 2026, there were 6,471 employed residents, and the unemployment rate was 1.9% lower than the 4.1% rate recorded across Greater Sydney, while the participation rate of 72.3% was slightly above the Greater Sydney benchmark of 69.1%. Census data indicated that a substantial 65.5% of workers operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdown measures.
The primary sectors of employment for local residents are professional & technical services, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance. The local concentration in professional & technical services is notable, reaching 2.0 times the average across the broader region. Conversely, construction represents a small fraction of the workforce at 4.0%, compared to 8.6% throughout the region. A Census-derived ratio of 0.6 local jobs per resident indicates a higher-than-average availability of employment opportunities within the immediate area. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12-month period ending in March 2026, both the employed population and the overall labor force grew by 1.9%, leaving the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded employment and labor force growth of 1.9% alongside a slight reduction in unemployment. Employment projections at the national level released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends for Double Bay - Darling Point. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential employment trends. Although the national workforce is projected to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local employment distribution suggests that employment in Double Bay - Darling Point could rise by 7.7% over five years and 15.1% over ten years, noting that this calculation is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population 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 — 40 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (9,958 at the 2021 Census → 10,218 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.
