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
Virginia has an estimated 3,810 residents, up from 3,197 at the 2021 Census — a change of 613 people, or 19.2%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 56.4% of that increase. Density is about 70 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 conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Virginia stands at approximately 3,810 people as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 3,197 residents documented in the 2021 Census, this represents a net expansion of 613 individuals (19.2%). This updated figure is derived from the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population figure of 3,759 alongside 48 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. With a population density of 69 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers substantial personal space and clear capacity for incoming development. Outperforming both the nationwide benchmark (9.5%) and broader state trends, Virginia's 19.2% rate of expansion since the 2021 census positions it at the forefront of regional growth.
Interstate migration served as the principal catalyst for these demographic gains, accounting for roughly 56.4% of recent additions, although natural increase and overseas arrivals also yielded positive contributions. Projections published in 2024 by ABS and Geoscience Australia utilizing 2022 as a base year form the foundation of AreaSearch's SA2 population models. Where SA2 data is unavailable or when modelling trends beyond 2032 across all localities, AreaSearch utilizes cohort-based growth rates sourced from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 (benchmarked to 2022). Looking ahead, Virginia is expected to sit within the top quartile of Australian statistical areas for demographic growth, with the local count projected to rise by 891 persons through to 2041 relative to latest annual ERP baselines, translating to an overall 16-year increase of 22.1%.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
98 new dwellings have been approved in Virginia over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years (spanning FY-22 to FY-26), Virginia has registered a total of 98 residential building approvals, averaging approximately 19 new homes annually. Over this 5 financial year timeframe, incoming population growth has averaged 4.2 new residents per constructed dwelling each year, causing demand to substantially outpace newly delivered stock and placing upward pressure on local home prices and buyer interest. Newly approved residences carry an average construction value of $453,000. In addition, $2.5 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, underlining the largely residential profile of the district.
Per capita building activity across Virginia runs 59.0% above the wider Greater Darwin region, affording prospective purchasers elevated market options. Detached dwellings represent 95.0% of recently approved building activity compared to 5.0% for attached housing, reinforcing the low-density footprint of the neighbourhood and drawing buyers seeking spacious lots. This current building profile shows a greater orientation towards standalone houses than the existing housing stock recorded at the Census (80.0%), underscoring persistent buyer demand for traditional family residences regardless of broader density targets. Overall development intensity sits at roughly 191 residents per residential approval, highlighting an expanding market. Demographic projections based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly update anticipate that Virginia will add 840 residents by 2041. Should current rates of residential building persist, newly delivered housing may fall short of demographic expansion, likely intensifying buyer competition and reinforcing upward valuation trends.

Darwin Energy Hub
Northern Territory Government project to construct and operate a renewable energy generation precinct in the Weddell region, with 3 to 6 solar farms in 30 to 35 MW lots, battery energy storage systems, a substation and about 15 km of overhead transmission lines connecting to the Channel Island-Hudson Creek line near Weddell Power Station. The project will supply about 180 to 210 MW of solar generation and storage directly into the Darwin-Katherine electricity system. The NT EPA assessment was completed in 2025 and the Minister granted environmental approval with conditions.
Berrimah Road Duplication - Stuart Highway to Tiger Brennan Drive
Planned duplication of Berrimah Road to a dual carriageway between Stuart Highway and Tiger Brennan Drive to improve freight efficiency, road safety and traffic capacity, supporting Darwin Port and future residential growth including Northcrest. The project remains in the Australian Government's funded road corridor program and is progressing through planning.
Northcrest
A 168-hectare master-planned community development delivering up to 2,000 housing lots. The precinct includes residential homes, parks, a government primary school, retirement living, and 56,000sqm of retail, dining, and commercial space.
Tiger Brennan Drive and Berrimah Road intersection overpass
Construction of a new overpass to improve road safety, reduce traffic delays, and increase freight connectivity. The new overpass carries Berrimah Road traffic over Tiger Brennan Drive. Final works include shared user paths, landscaping, and emergency services access.
Defence Establishment Berrimah Redevelopment
Base-wide redevelopment of Defence Establishment Berrimah (DEB), a tri-service Defence support hub located in Coonawarra, about 8km east of Darwin CBD. The project delivers upgraded in-ground services including power supply, water and fire water systems, sewerage and ICT infrastructure, along with security upgrades and construction of three deployable force precincts with hardstands, messing, ablutions and recreational areas. Internal road network improvements will be delivered if budget allows. Delivered under Defence's Estate Capital and Sustainment Works Program via a head contractor construct-only arrangement, with Jacobs engaged as Project Manager/Contract Administrator.
Darwin Corporate Park
Darwin Corporate Park is a premier business park for mixed use commercial office space located in Berrimah, recognised as the geographic centre of greater Darwin. The precinct currently comprises five premium three-level office buildings set on 25,800 square metres, holding a 5-star NABERS rating and campus-style landscaping with covered walkways. Stage 1 was completed in 2014 and is almost fully leased. Stage 2 delivered Building 7, a purpose-built 3,500 square metre call centre solely occupied by bet365 as its Australian headquarters.The masterplan envisions up to eight office buildings in total. The park was sold by Berrimah Holdings to a South Australian private equity group, Spencer Property Group, for approximately 78.5 million AUD in one of the largest commercial real estate transactions in Darwin's history.
Adelaide River Off-Stream Water Storage (AROWS)
AROWS is a proposed off-stream water storage scheme that will secure Darwin's long-term water supply by capturing wet-season flow from the Adelaide River into a naturally occurring basin north of Lake Bennett, without damming the river itself. Stored water will be pumped via a new pipeline alongside the Stuart Highway to an expanded Strauss Water Treatment Plant, adding around 60 gigalitres of water per year to the Darwin region. The project forms Stage 2 of the Darwin Region Water Supply Infrastructure Program, delivered jointly by the NT Department of Logistics and Infrastructure and Power and Water Corporation.Stage 1, covering planning, approvals and the Manton Dam return to service, is funded by the Australian Government ($300.6 million) and NT Government ($27 million). A tier 3 environmental impact assessment referral was lodged with the NT EPA in 2025, and construction is not expected to begin before 2028.
2,139 residents of Virginia are employed, from a labour force of 2,200. Unemployment sits at 2.8%, with participation at 71.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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 3,456, about 91% 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
Virginia features a capable local workforce underpinned by solid representation across essential services, an unemployment rate sitting at only 2.8%, and steady labour conditions over the preceding twelve months. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,139, with unemployment trailing the Greater Darwin rate of 3.5% by 0.7%, while labour market participation aligns closely with Greater Darwin's 72.9%. Census records indicate that only 5.8% of employed locals worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by prevailing Covid-19 health directives. Local resident employment is heavily concentrated in the construction, public administration & safety, and retail trade sectors.
The area demonstrates pronounced employment specialization in construction, with its industry workforce share standing 1.7 times above the regional baseline. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 8.6% of local jobs compared to 14.2% across the wider region. Given the disparity between working population counts and resident numbers at the Census, this predominantly residential community generates relatively few local jobs within its own boundaries. AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM figures indicate that in the year leading to March 2026, local employment grew by 0.1% alongside a 0.8% increase in the labour force, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point rise in the local unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe, Greater Darwin experienced a 0.4% lift in employment, a 0.8% increase in labour force participation, and a 0.3 percentage point increase in joblessness. Further perspectives on medium-term demand can be gleaned from Jobs and Skills Australia national forecasts from Mar-26. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied across Virginia's sector distribution to model future trajectory. Nationally, total employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Aligning these sectoral projections with Virginia's employment profile indicates anticipated local job growth of 5.9% across five years and 12.2% across ten years (this represents a baseline weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes and excludes localized demographic forecasts).
Frequently Asked Questions - Employment
Median household income in Virginia is $2,153 a week (about $112,000 a year), with median personal income at $1,096 a week. ATO records put median taxable income at $61,718 a year against an average of $73,648. Household income is from the 2021 Census; taxable income is from ATO Taxation Statistics for the latest financial year available, indexed forward using the ABS Wage Price Index.
Detail
Taxpayer income statistics compiled by AreaSearch from ATO records for financial year 2023 place Virginia above nationwide averages. Median taxable earnings within the SA2 reach $61,718 while average earnings sit at $73,648, compared with Greater Darwin benchmarks of $66,956 and $77,199 respectively. Accounting for a 9.41% increase in the Wage Price Index since financial year 2023, indexed estimates as of March 2026 stand at roughly $67,526 for median income and $80,578 for average income. Across the 2021 Census, local personal, family, and household earnings all tracked between the 75th and 85th percentiles across Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions - Education
Schools Detail
Public transport in Virginia reaches 34 stops on 58 routes, timetabled for about 3,200 services a week. The typical home sits about 800 m from its nearest stop. Buses carry the largest share of public transport commuters. Households keep an average of 2.0 vehicles. Stop and service counts are built from operators' published GTFS timetables and refresh with each timetable release; vehicle ownership is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Public transit networks within Virginia incorporate 34 active bus stops serviced by 58 discrete transit routes, which together deliver 3,222 weekly passenger trips. Overall transport access is constrained, with residents positioned an average distance of 802 meters from their closest public transport stop. Because the district is overwhelmingly residential, most working residents travel outside the area, and private car travel accounts for 95% of commuting journeys. Vehicle ownership is above regional levels, averaging 2.0 vehicles per household. Only 5.8% of the local workforce reported working from home in the 2021 Census, a figure potentially affected by COVID-19 circumstances.
Across the entire network, service volume averages 460 daily transit trips, which translates to roughly 94 trips each week per individual stop.
Frequently Asked Questions - Transport

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 — 48 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,197 at the 2021 Census → 3,810 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.
