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.

Sales Detail
Larrakeyah has an estimated 4,731 residents, up from 3,943 at the 2021 Census — a change of 788 people, or 20.0%. Growth has averaged 2.8% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 83.7% of that increase. That puts 2,426 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
Demographic analysis by AreaSearch estimates the population of Larrakeyah to be approximately 4,731 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 788 people (20.0%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 3,943 people. This trend is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 4,731 recorded as of June 2025 alongside post-Census address validation. With 2,426 persons per square kilometer, the locality's population density sits within the top quartile among all nationally evaluated areas by AreaSearch. Since the 2021 census, Larrakeyah's 20.0% expansion outpaced both the territory and the nationwide benchmark of 9.5%, positioning the suburb as a standout growth pocket.
The primary catalyst for this demographic expansion was overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 83.7% of total population additions in recent times. Projections for SA2 districts utilise the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset anchored to 2022. For locations omitted from this release and for all post-2032 modeling, age-cohort growth trajectories from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region series (utilising 2022 data) are incorporated. Looking forward, the suburb is slated to record population growth above the national median, gaining 656 persons by 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, translating to a cumulative 13.9% rise over the 16 years.

Detail
Residential building approvals across Larrakeyah average approximately 1 home per year, totaling 9 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). In that same period (between FY-22 and FY-26), the area absorbed an average of 67.9 new residents per year for every home built, creating a substantial supply shortfall that typically fuels upward pricing pressure and heightened buyer demand. New residences carry an average estimated construction cost of $1,149,000, signaling developer focus on high-end, premium housing. On the commercial front, approvals reached $10.5 million this financial year, reflecting a steady pace of non-residential development.
On a per-person basis, construction activity in Larrakeyah sits at roughly 59% of the Greater Darwin level, placing the suburb in the 8th percentile across Australia. This constrained development rate curbs housing choices and channels demand toward existing properties, while lagging national norms due to the suburb's established character and potential planning limits. Recent residential development is evenly split, with 50.0% detached houses and 50.0% townhouses or apartments. While higher-density formats provide accessible price points for downsizers, entry-level buyers, and investors, builders are delivering freestanding dwellings at a higher rate than the baseline housing stock (22.0% at Census), underscoring enduring appetite for detached family living despite urban consolidation. Forecasts indicate that Larrakeyah will gain 656 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. If residential construction continues at its current rate, dwelling completions may fail to match population inflows, potentially intensifying purchaser rivalry and sustaining property price growth.

The NT EPA determined in December 2021 that a formal environmental impact assessment was not required. As of 2025-2026 the project continues to be promoted by KITA Group and Arthur Winston Group, however no public evidence of construction commencement has been identified.
Larrakia Cultural Centre
Major Indigenous cultural centre on the Darwin Waterfront celebrating Larrakia Country, language, culture and knowledge. The project includes exhibition galleries, performance and education spaces, retail, cultural experiences and landscaped public areas. Construction commenced in May 2024 following a ground turning ceremony, with Sunbuild appointed as the main contractor.
Civic and State Square Precinct Revitalisation
Revitalisation of the Civic and State Square Precinct in Darwin CBD to deliver shady parklands, public art, and connections across Parliament House, Supreme Court, and Government House. Completed milestones include the 450-bay underground car park, native gardens, Chan Lawns, and the Liberty Square redevelopment. Construction of the cornerstone 3-storey State Square Building (formerly intended as the NT Art Gallery) is tracking towards structural completion in mid-2026, with the Northern Territory Government executing an Expressions of Interest (EOI) process to determine its final activation and use.
Northern Territory Art Gallery
The Northern Territory Art Gallery, formally the State Square Building, is a 145 million dollar cultural facility under construction in Darwin's State Square precinct in the CBD, adjacent to Parliament House and the Supreme Court, as part of the Darwin City Deal jointly funded by the Northern Territory and Australian Governments. Designed by Ashford Architects with Clare Design and Hully Liveris, and built by local contractor Sitzler Pty Ltd, the three storey building with a basement level features a ground level foyer, two large gallery display spaces, offices, a courtyard, and space for a retail shop and cafe, with a first floor verandah facing Smith Street.Construction is anticipated to be completed in Q3 2026. Following a cost blowout of more than 100 million dollars above original estimates, the Northern Territory Government has opened the building's future use and operation to a public Expression of Interest process, so its final function as an art gallery is not yet confirmed.
3,155 residents of Larrakeyah are employed, from a labour force of 3,174. Unemployment sits at 0.6%, with participation at 78.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% 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 4,091, about 86% 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
Larrakeyah features a highly credentialed workforce with robust representation in essential services, an unemployment rate standing at only 0.6%, and estimated annual jobs growth of 1.1%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 3,155, keeping local unemployment 2.9% below the 3.5% reported across Greater Darwin. Labor force participation is also notably elevated at 78.2%, compared to 72.9% across Greater Darwin. Census records indicate that only 5.6% of workers operated from home, though pandemic-era movement restrictions during that period may have influenced responses. The top employment sectors for local residents comprise public administration & safety, accommodation & food, and health care & social assistance.
Public administration & safety shows the most pronounced concentration, engaging workers at 1.4 times the regional rate. Conversely, construction accounts for only 5.1% of the local workforce, trailing Greater Darwin's 9.2%. Comparing Census working population counts against resident totals indicates that while local jobs exist, a substantial proportion of the workforce commutes outside the suburb for employment. Analysis of SALM and ABS data by AreaSearch indicates that over the 12-month period, employment rose by 1.1% while the labour force grew by 0.9%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. In contrast, Greater Darwin experienced a 0.4% employment increase, a 0.8% labour force expansion, and a 0.3 percentage point rise in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context regarding potential future demand in Larrakeyah. These projections span five and ten-year intervals and have been overlaid with local employment data to estimate regional growth trajectories. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-specific forecasts are applied to Larrakeyah's employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, though this simple weighting extrapolation is illustrative and excludes localised population projections.

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,943 at the 2021 Census → 4,731 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 Aug 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 (701011005). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
