Darling Point has an estimated 3,999 residents. That puts 6,059 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 investigations of ABS demographic updates for the wider region, alongside recent addresses verified by AreaSearch after the Census, the suburb of Darling Point has an estimated population of approximately 3,999 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 22 people (0.6%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,977 people. The change is calculated from the resident population of 3,998, which was estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ERP data release from the ABS (June 2025) plus an additional 2 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population level corresponds to a density ratio of 6,059 persons per square kilometer, placing the locality within the top 10% of national areas analyzed by AreaSearch, showing that local land is a highly coveted resource. Overseas migration was the primary driver of population growth, representing approximately 86.0% of the total demographic gains in recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 region, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch uses the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, published in 2022 using 2021 as the baseline year. Growth rates for individual age groups derived from these aggregations are also applied to all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at upcoming demographic shifts, a population increase slightly below the national median of statistical areas is anticipated, with the suburb of Darling Point projected to grow by 321 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, which represents an overall growth rate of 8.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
26 new dwellings have been approved in Darling Point over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 1.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval figures, distributed from statistical area datasets, Darling Point averages approximately 5 residential approvals annually, yielding a total of about 26 homes over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 16 approvals have been logged. Because the area has seen population decline, development volumes have been sufficient in relative terms, presenting a positive environment for buyers, while new residences are built with an average value of $2,232,000, indicating that developers are targeting the luxury market with premium builds. There have also been $3.5 million in commercial approvals this financial year, which highlights the area's predominantly residential character.
Relative to Greater Sydney, Darling Point displays significantly lower construction volumes (56.0% below the regional per capita average). This constrained supply of new builds generally underpins stronger demand and values for pre-existing properties. This construction rate is also below national averages, reflecting the maturity of the suburb and suggesting potential planning limitations. Furthermore, recent construction projects have consisted entirely of townhouses or apartments. This trend toward high-density housing provides more accessible entry options and draws downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. With approximately 2005 people per approval, Darling Point indicates a mature, established locality. Looking ahead, Darling Point is projected to increase by 320 residents through to 2041 (starting from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). If current building volumes persist, the addition of new housing could trail behind demographic growth, which is likely to heighten buyer competition and support price appreciation.

2,390 residents of Darling Point are employed, from a labour force of 2,446. Unemployment sits at 2.3%, with participation at 67.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,570, about 89% 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
Darling Point has a highly educated workforce, with the technology sector being notably well-represented, an unemployment rate of only 2.3%, and 1.6% in estimated job growth over the past year, according to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data. As of March 2026, there are 2,390 working residents, while the local unemployment rate is 1.8% below the 4.1% rate of Greater Sydney, and labor participation is very close to Greater Sydney's 69.1%. Based on Census figures, a substantial 64.3% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 lockdown restrictions must be taken into account.
The primary employment sectors for residents are professional & technical, finance & insurance, and health care & social assistance. The community displays an especially high concentration in professional & technical fields, with employment levels reaching 2.0 times the regional average. Conversely, construction has a minimal presence at 3.7% employment compared to 8.6% across the region. This primarily residential locality seems to provide few local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of the Census working population against the resident population. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, compiled from broader statistical areas, during the 12 months leading to March 2026, employment grew by 1.6% while the labor force expanded by 1.6%, leaving the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. In comparison, Greater Sydney saw employment rise by 1.9%, the labor force increase by 1.9%, and unemployment decrease slightly. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspective on potential future demand in Darling Point. These projections, looking five and ten years ahead, have been aligned with the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While overall national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rate of growth varies widely by industry. Applying these industry-specific projections to the employment composition of Darling Point suggests local jobs should grow by 7.7% over five years and 15.1% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 2 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,977 at the 2021 Census → 3,999 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL11212). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
