Chart Color Schemes
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 3,759 residents, up from 3,197 at the 2021 Census — a change of 562 people, or 17.6%. Growth has averaged 2.3% a year over five years, faster than 88% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 56.4% of that increase. Density is about 69 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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Virginia stands at approximately 3,759 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 562 people (17.6%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the count was 3,197 people. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 3,759 alongside 48 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 68 persons per square kilometer, indicating substantial space per inhabitant and potential capacity for additional development. The 17.6% expansion rate of Virginia since the 2021 census outpaced the national average (9.3%) as well as the state average, positioning it as a primary growth area.
The upward population trajectory was chiefly propelled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 56.4% of total population increases lately, even though all components including natural growth and overseas migration registered positive trends. AreaSearch utilizes projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, and to calculate growth in the years after 2032, AreaSearch projects cohort-specific growth rates based on the latest Greater Capital Region projections from the ABS (published in 2023 using 2022 data). Looking at long-term demographic paths, substantial growth is anticipated within the highest quartile of Australian statistical territories, with this specific location projected to expand by 882 persons by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total rise of 23.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
79 new dwellings have been approved in Virginia over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That places the area in the 66th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 25, 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
Approximately 15 new homes receive approvals in Virginia each year, with 79 homes approved during the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 23 registered so far in FY-26. Given an average of 5.2 new residents per year for every home built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, which generally drives up prices and intensifies buyer competition, whereas new housing is built at an average cost of $381,000—slightly above regional averages—pointing to a focus on quality construction. Furthermore, $2.5 million in commercial development approvals have been logged during this financial year, which points to minimal commercial construction activity.
Relative to Greater Darwin, Virginia features slightly higher building activity (28.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), maintaining options for buyers while supporting demand for existing homes. New building activity is made up of 92.0% detached dwellings and 8.0% townhouses or apartments, which maintains the low-density profile of the locality with an emphasis on stand-alone homes that draw buyers looking for space. With roughly 254 people per dwelling approval, Virginia indicates an evolving property market. Projections for the future indicate that Virginia will add 882 residents by 2041 (starting from the latest quarterly estimate by AreaSearch). Under current construction trends, home building may lag behind population gains, potentially escalating buyer competition and reinforcing upward price movements.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
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 71.3%. 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 3,395, about 90% 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 has a skilled labor force, with strong representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of only 2.8%, and stable employment patterns over the past year. In March 2026, 2,139 residents are employed, which is an unemployment rate 0.7% lower than the 3.5% rate in Greater Darwin, while workforce participation aligns closely with the Greater Darwin level of 72.7%. Census records indicate that a minimal 5.8% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions must be kept in mind. The local resident workforce is heavily concentrated in public administration & safety, construction, and retail trade.
The region shows an especially high concentration in construction, where employment is 1.7 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a low share at 8.6% of jobs compared to 14.2% across the wider region. This mostly residential locality seems to provide few local jobs, as shown by comparing the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics, the 12-month period saw employment rise by 0.1% while the labour force expanded by 0.8%, resulting in a 0.6 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. This differs from Greater Darwin, which saw a 0.4% rise in employment, a 0.8% expansion in the labour force, and a 0.3 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia can provide extra context regarding future labor demand in Virginia. These forecasts, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of growth differ widely across industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment distribution of Virginia indicates that local employment should rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.2% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted projection for illustration purposes and does not incorporate local population 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.

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,197 at the 2021 Census → 3,759 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.
