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.

Durack - Marlow Lagoon has an estimated 5,073 residents, up from 4,501 at the 2021 Census — a change of 572 people, or 12.7%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years, faster than 79% of areas nationally. Natural increase accounts for 55.7% of that increase. That puts 433 residents on each 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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count in Durack - Marlow Lagoon stands at approximately 5,073 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 572 people (12.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a total of 4,501 individuals. This adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 5,073 from June 2025 alongside 1 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Such a population size translates to a density of 432 persons per square kilometer, indicating low-density living and scope for future expansion. The 12.7% growth rate since the 2021 census paced ahead of the national benchmark (9.3%), positioning the area as a regional growth leader.
This expansion was mostly fueled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 55.7% of the total population rise in recent times. AreaSearch utilizes the SA2-level projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as the baseline. For locations where this data is unavailable, or to model trends after 2032, growth rates segmented by age cohorts from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023, utilizing 2022 statistics) are applied. Looking forward, the analyzed statistical areas are projected to experience above-median growth, with this specific locality anticipated to gain 819 persons by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 16.1% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
49 new dwellings have been approved in Durack - Marlow Lagoon over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 2 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 32, 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
Durack - Marlow Lagoon records approximately 9 new residential approvals annually, with a total of 49 homes approved across the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and an additional 30 approved during FY-26 so far. Because an average of 6.3 people moved to the locality for every new home constructed over the past 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25), the volume of new supply falls significantly short of demand, typically escalating buyer rivalry and driving up prices, while newly built homes average a value of $300,000. Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $1.1 million have been logged in the current financial year, pointing to a heavily residential development trend.
Compared to Greater Darwin, building volume per resident in Durack - Marlow Lagoon is roughly half, placing it in the 47th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which restricts choice for buyers and sustains interest in established properties, even though building pace has quickened lately. This is also below the nationwide average, illustrating the mature character of the suburb and suggesting possible planning constraints. Recent building approvals consist of 38.0% standalone homes and 62.0% attached dwellings. The preference for higher-density options offers more budget-friendly entry points, appealing to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear departure from the current housing stock (which stands at 96.0% houses), signaling a dwindling supply of vacant land, evolving lifestyle preferences, and a demand for more varied, economical housing types. The ratio of 355 people in the area for every single residential approval highlights the quiet, low-scale nature of local construction activity. Projecting forward, Durack - Marlow Lagoon is set to add 819 residents by 2041 according to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. If construction volumes do not accelerate, residential supply is likely to fall behind population expansion, which will probably heighten competition among buyers and support upward pressure on prices.

3,033 residents of Durack - Marlow Lagoon are employed, from a labour force of 3,080. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 79.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% 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 4,399, about 87% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Durack - Marlow Lagoon possesses a skilled workforce with strong representation in essential service industries, an unemployment rate of only 1.5%, and an estimated employment expansion of 0.6% over the preceding year. As of March 2026, there are 3,033 employed residents, and the unemployment rate sits 1.9% below the Greater Darwin level of 3.5%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high at 79.0% compared to 72.7% across Greater Darwin. According to Census records, a minor 5.0% of the workforce operated from home, though this may have been influenced by Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are public administration & safety, construction, and health care & social assistance. The locality exhibits a pronounced specialization in construction, with its employment share tracking at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 10.4% of local jobs, which is lower than the Greater Darwin benchmark of 14.2%. The ratio of Census working population to resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within the boundary are relatively scarce. According to the AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the latest 12-month cycle recorded a 0.6% rise in employment alongside a 0.8% expansion of the labour force, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Darwin recorded a 0.4% rise in employment and a 0.8% increase in the labour force, with the unemployment rate rising by 0.3 percentage points. The national employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context on future demand trends in Durack - Marlow Lagoon. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce composition to project potential growth. While nationwide employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry-specific trends to the local job profile suggests that employment in Durack - Marlow Lagoon would rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.6% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for comparison 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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,501 at the 2021 Census → 5,073 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.
