Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.

SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).

Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Growth has averaged 10.9% a year over five years, faster than 98% of areas nationally. 321 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 83.5% of that increase. Density is about 95 people per square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.

Detail

According to research by AreaSearch, Berrimah has a population of approximately 2,871 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 1,159 people (67.7%) compared to the 1,712 residents recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 2,871 combined with 321 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 94 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future expansion. Berrimah's growth rate of 67.7% since the 2021 census outpaced the national benchmark (9.3%) and the broader SA3 area, positioning it as a leading growth zone.

Interstate migration was the primary driver of this growth, accounting for roughly 83.5% of the total population increase, though positive contributions were also observed from overseas migration and natural increase. AreaSearch utilizes the 2024 population projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, which use 2022 as a baseline. For SA2 regions excluded from this dataset, and to project trends beyond 2032, growth rates by age bracket are applied using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 figures. Looking forward, the area is anticipated to undergo rapid growth, placing it in the top 10 percent of statistical areas nationwide, with an projected increase of 2,263 people by 2041 based on recent annual ERP data, representing a total rise of 78.8% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Berrimah

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

294 new dwellings have been approved in Berrimah over the past five years, an average of 58 a year. That places the area in the 95th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 20 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 46 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 159, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

Berrimah averages approximately 58 residential approvals annually, amounting to 294 new dwellings over the past 5 financial years. In FY-26 to date, 146 approvals have been registered. With an average of 4 new residents per completed dwelling over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the incoming supply is falling short of demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives up prices, while new dwellings carry an average construction value of $340,000. Additionally, commercial approvals have reached $37.8 million this financial year, showing strong commercial momentum. Construction activity per capita in Berrimah is 1498.0% higher than in Greater Darwin, providing a broader selection for buyers.

This rate is far above the national benchmark, highlighting significant interest from builders. Recent residential building activity consists of 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% semi-detached properties or apartments, maintaining a low-density profile focused on standalone dwellings for buyers seeking space. Notably, developers are building a higher proportion of detached houses than the current residential mix (60.0% at the Census), reflecting sustained demand for family properties despite urban density pressures. With approximately 44 people per approved dwelling, Berrimah displays the hallmarks of an expanding growth corridor. Projections indicate Berrimah will gain 2,263 residents by 2041 according to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Current development trends suggest the supply of new housing is well-positioned to satisfy this demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population expansion beyond current forecasts.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Berrimah

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,187 residents of Berrimah are employed, from a labour force of 1,282. Unemployment sits at 7.4%, with participation at 56.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 7,456, about 2.6 times the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. 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 local workforce is well-educated, with a strong presence in essential services, an unemployment rate of 7.4%, and consistent employment numbers over the prior year. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 1,187, while the local unemployment rate was 3.9% higher than the 3.5% recorded in Greater Darwin, suggesting potential for improvement, and the participation rate of 56.1% remains well below the 72.7% seen in Greater Darwin. Census data shows that a small proportion of residents (5.5%) worked from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for local residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and construction.

Conversely, the education & training sector employs only 5.2% of the workforce, which is lower than the 8.7% average in Greater Darwin. With a ratio of 3.6 jobs for every resident at the time of the Census, the locality acts as an employment hub, drawing in workers from surrounding suburbs. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that in the year leading up to March 2026, the local labour force grew by 0.9% while employment fell by 0.1%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.9 percentage points. Over the same period, Greater Darwin saw employment grow by 0.4% and its labour force expand by 0.8%, resulting in a 0.3 percentage point increase in unemployment. Future local employment trends can be evaluated using Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by sector. Applying these rates to Berrimah's industry profile suggests local employment could grow by 6.4% over five years and 13.3% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that 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 — 321 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,712 at the 2021 Census → 2,871 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.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (701021012). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Berrimah SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Berrimah page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Berrimah data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Jul 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
