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
Durack has an estimated 8,813 residents, up from 8,254 at the 2021 Census — a change of 559 people, or 6.8%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 2,017 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, Durack has an estimated population of 8,813 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 559 people (6.8%) compared to the 8,254 people recorded in the 2021 Census. The updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 8,813 as of June 2025 alongside 6 validated new addresses tracked post-Census. At this count, the local population density sits at 2,016 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the benchmark among national locations evaluated by AreaSearch. Durack's post-Census expansion of 6.8% trails the nationwide benchmark (9.5%) by 2.7 percentage points, demonstrating solid growth momentum.
Net overseas migration served as the core catalyst for demographic expansion, providing virtually the entire basis for recent population increases. SA2 level projections prepared by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 using 2022 as their starting point) are incorporated by AreaSearch. For intervals beyond 2032 or areas not covered in those releases, Queensland State Government SA2 series published in 2023 (utilising 2021 data) are used. Because these state figures omit age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates proportional age distributions benchmarked against the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 baseline data). Looking forward, population growth is projected to track slightly below the national median, with Durack anticipated to add 406 persons to 2041 relative to latest annual ERP population figures, equating to a cumulative rise of 4.6% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
92 new dwellings have been approved in Durack over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 2.2 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building consents in Durack have averaged approximately 18 dwellings per year, totaling 92 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). With around 3.1 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local buyer demand clearly outpaces additions to housing stock, a dynamic that generally drives up property values and fosters competitive purchasing conditions. In addition, the typical build cost for new residences stands at $235,000—under the broader regional benchmark—pointing to relatively attainable building opportunities.
Commercial activity has seen $10.9 million in development approvals logged this financial year, pointing to a steady non-residential development pipeline. On a per-capita basis, residential construction in Durack generates roughly 62% of the activity recorded across Greater Brisbane, positioning the suburb in the 32nd percentile of locations assessed across the country; this constrained supply environment limits stock choices and channels interest toward existing houses. This below-national-average volume highlights the mature state of the local urban footprint and suggests possible planning limits. Furthermore, recent development has focused entirely on standalone houses, reinforcing the suburb's low-density layout and serving family households looking for space. Interestingly, new construction shows a stronger tilt toward houses than the established Census dwelling proportion (68.0%), underscoring persistent appetite for detached housing despite wider consolidation trends. With approximately 513 people per dwelling approval, Durack displays the hallmarks of an established residential area. Forecasts indicate that Durack will gain 406 residents by 2041 (benchmarked against the newest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on prevailing construction rates, future dwelling additions should sufficiently accommodate projected population growth, fostering balanced market conditions for purchasers and potentially creating headroom for growth beyond current baselines.

4,171 residents of Durack are employed, from a labour force of 4,355. Unemployment sits at 4.2%, with participation at 60.0%. 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. The working-day population is estimated at 7,267, about 82% 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 supports an active workforce anchored by essential service industries, characterized by an unemployment rate of 4.2% and a 12.1% expansion in estimated employment over the past year. In total, 4,171 residents are employed as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 0.1% below the 4.3% reported for Greater Brisbane. In contrast, the local labour force participation rate of 60.0% trails the Greater Brisbane figure of 70.1% substantially. Census data showed that a modest 10.7% of workers worked from home, though this figure was likely influenced by Covid-19 lockdown restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. Industrial manufacturing represents a standout concentration in the area, employing a share of workers 2.0 times the broader regional proportion. Conversely, the professional & technical sector accounts for a smaller footprint at 4.8% locally versus 8.9% regionally. Given its primarily suburban residential profile, the community generates relatively fewer jobs on-site, as shown by the disparity between Census working population numbers and resident workforce numbers. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics show that across the year to March 2026, employment grew by 12.1% alongside a 10.1% rise in the labour pool, reducing local unemployment by 1.7 percentage points. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a 3.2% gain in employment and a 3.4% rise in the labour force, with unemployment ticking up by 0.1 percentage points. National workforce modeling from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 offers broader context regarding future employment demand in Durack. Mapping these five-year and ten-year national trajectories against the local industry baseline provides an estimate of forward trends. While Australia-wide job figures are projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sector-level outcomes vary widely. Weighting these projections by Durack's resident employment distribution suggests local job totals would climb by 6.0% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (a basic weighted projection for modeling purposes that does not incorporate specific 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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,254 at the 2021 Census → 8,813 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.
