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
Wanguri has an estimated 1,940 residents, up from 1,836 at the 2021 Census — a change of 104 people, or 5.7%. Overseas migration accounts for 70.9% of that increase. That puts 2,180 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 analysis by AreaSearch, Wanguri has a population of roughly 1,940 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 1,836 residents documented in the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 104 people (5.7%). This shift draws upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 1,940 from June 2025 alongside post-Census address validation. The local population density reaches 2,179 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the national average across locations evaluated by AreaSearch. In recent times, inward overseas migration was the primary catalyst for demographic expansion, generating around 70.9% of total population increases.
Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. When SA2 data is unavailable, or when forecasting beyond 2032 across all districts, age cohort growth rates from the latest ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data) are incorporated. Looking forward, the area is projected to experience population expansion exceeding the median for Australian statistical areas, adding 322 persons through to 2041 relative to the newest annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 16.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Development approvals in Wanguri have run at roughly 1 dwellings per year, registering a total of 6 homes during the preceding 5 financial years. Between FY-22 and FY-26, an average of 3.2 people arrived in the area for each new residence constructed across the past 5 financial years, highlighting a distinct shortfall in building activity relative to inbound demand that typically fuels buyer rivalry and upward pricing pressure. New builds carry an average construction cost of $339,000, sitting beneath the broader regional benchmark to present relatively attainable entry points, while $350,000 in commercial approvals over the current financial year underscores the locality's primarily residential profile.
Residential building volumes in Wanguri remain notably subdued when benchmarked against Greater Darwin, tracking 70.0% below the regional per capita norm. Although building activity has picked up in recent times, this low rate of construction tends to bolster demand and values for existing properties while falling short of national levels, illustrating both the established nature of the suburb and potential planning hurdles. Furthermore, all recent construction has centered exclusively on freestanding homes, preserving the neighborhood's established suburban feel and focusing on standalone family properties attractive to buyers desiring extra space. Projections indicate that Wanguri will welcome an additional 322 residents up to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If residential development continues at its current pace, additions to the housing stock may fall short of demographic expansion, which could heighten buyer competition and provide ongoing support for property prices.

1,038 residents of Wanguri are employed, from a labour force of 1,086. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 69.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,543, about 80% 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
Wanguri features a qualified local labor pool with strong representation in core services, an unemployment rate of 4.4%, and relatively steady job numbers throughout the past year. Employed locals numbered 1,038 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate stands 1.0% higher than the Greater Darwin figure of 3.5%, and labor participation reaches 69.8%, somewhat beneath the 72.9% recorded across Greater Darwin. Census figures showed that a modest 5.0% of the workforce worked remotely from home, a figure potentially shaped by pandemic-era lockdown conditions. Locals are primarily employed across health care & social assistance, public administration & safety, as well as education & training.
Concentration is exceptionally pronounced in health care & social assistance, where local workforce representation is 1.2 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for a smaller footprint locally at 14.3% of Wanguri workers compared to 19.5% throughout Greater Darwin. Comparing the number of local jobs from the Census against resident worker numbers indicates that this predominantly residential district provides relatively few employment options within its own boundaries. An examination of ABS and SALM metrics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, the local labor pool expanded by 0.8% alongside a 0.1% contraction in employment, pushing the jobless rate up by 0.9 percentage points. Across Greater Darwin over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 0.4%, the workforce grew by 0.8%, and unemployment rose by 0.3 percentage points. National outlooks from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment trends in Wanguri, outlining five-year and ten-year sectoral forecasts that have been aligned with the local industry footprint. At the national scale, employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying by sector; mapping these sectoral shifts to Wanguri's workforce profile suggests local job opportunities could increase by 6.7% across five years and 13.8% across ten years (an illustrative weighting calculation that excludes localized population changes).

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 (1,836 at the 2021 Census → 1,940 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 (701021029). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
