Detail
According to AreaSearch's evaluation of broader ABS demographic releases alongside validated post-Census address additions, the suburb of Darlington (WA) records an estimated population of approximately 3,987 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 3,725 residents documented in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 262 people (7.0%). This update is derived from the resident figure of 3,987 determined by AreaSearch following the ABS June 2025 ERP publication and the inclusion of 6 validated new addresses since the Census. With a density of 330 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample personal space and capacity for prospective building.
The suburb of Darlington (WA) has achieved a 7.0% expansion rate since the census, sitting within 2.5 percentage points of the 9.5% national benchmark to highlight strong growth characteristics. Inbound overseas migration formed the primary driver of this demographic uplift, accounting for roughly 61.0% of recent population additions. Projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia (published in 2024 using 2022 as the base period) have been incorporated by AreaSearch for SA2 boundaries, supplemented by cohort-specific growth rates from the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (published in 2023 from 2022 data) for remaining locations and post-2032 modeling. In light of these anticipated demographic patterns, the suburb of Darlington (WA) is projected to experience population expansion slightly beneath the national median, adding 144 persons by 2041 under combined SA2 forecasts to register an overall 3.6% gain across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
An evaluation of ABS residential approval statistics by AreaSearch shows that Darlington typically sees roughly 3 residential dwellings approved annually, totaling an estimated 19 homes across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with 2 recorded to date in FY-25. An average of 8.3 incoming residents per year arrived for every home constructed during the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), creating an environment where demand outpaces supply and fosters upward price pressure along with heightened buyer interest. Approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $831,000, underscoring an emphasis by developers on high-end, premium housing.
Additionally, non-residential activity has been subdued, with $59,000 in commercial approvals logged during the current financial year. Residential building volumes in Darlington trail Greater Perth substantially, sitting 76.0% below the per-capita regional benchmark. Such constrained additions to the housing stock tend to reinforce interest and pricing across established residences. This performance also lags behind national levels, pointing to a well-established urban fabric and potential planning limitations. Furthermore, recent building approvals have comprised detached houses exclusively, preserving the locality's low-density profile and family-oriented environment geared toward buyers desiring spacious allotments. An estimated ratio of 1980 residents for every dwelling approval highlights the subdued nature of local construction activity. Demographic projections indicate that Darlington will welcome 144 additional residents up to 2041 based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Given current building trends, the creation of new housing may face challenges in keeping pace with population expansion, which could intensify competition among purchasers and reinforce property values.

2,280 residents of Darlington (WA) are employed, from a labour force of 2,306. Unemployment sits at 1.1%, with participation at 71.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.4% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,973, about 75% 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
Darlington features an accomplished professional workforce with strong representation in core services, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 1.1% alongside an estimated 3.8% annual job expansion according to AreaSearch's regional data modeling. As of March 2026, employed residents numbered 2,280, while the local jobless rate sits 3.1% beneath the Greater Perth benchmark of 4.2%, accompanied by a participation rate closely tracking the broader regional figure of 69.9%. Census records indicate that 15.3% of workers operated from home, a figure that may reflect prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time. The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of education & training, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical.
The community demonstrates notable concentration in education & training, generating an employment proportion 1.6 times that of the surrounding region. Conversely, retail trade accounts for a smaller footprint, employing 7.2% of workers versus 9.3% across the metropolitan area. Comparisons between resident workers and local operational roles captured in the Census suggest that neighborhood-based job opportunities remain limited. Analysis of combined SALM and ABS figures by AreaSearch reveals that over the 12-month timeframe, local jobs grew by 3.8% while the workforce expanded by 3.6%, reducing the jobless rate by 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% rise in employment, a 2.5% rise in the labour pool, and a 0.4 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future workforce requirements in Darlington over five-year and ten-year horizons when weighted against the local industry baseline. Nationally, employment is anticipated to increase by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with distinct variations across sectors. Applying these industry trajectories to Darlington's workforce distribution suggests local employment growth of 6.4% over five years and 13.5% over ten years (calculated as a simple illustrative weighting that excludes localized population adjustments).

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 (3,725 at the 2021 Census → 3,987 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.
