This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Darra has an estimated 4,300 residents, up from 4,098 at the 2021 Census — a change of 202 people, or 4.9%. That puts 773 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
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Darra has an estimated population of around 4,300, established through AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS population releases alongside post-Census validated addresses. Compared to the 4,098 people tallied in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 202 people (4.9%). The updated figure is deduced from the 4,300 resident count modelled by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release together with 43 validated new addresses recorded post-Census. Consequently, the suburb of Darra exhibits a population density of 773 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded across AreaSearch assessment areas.
Inbound overseas migration was the primary catalyst for local demographic expansion, generating roughly 67.0% of recent population gains. Population modelling by AreaSearch incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia SA2 projections benchmarked to 2022. For periods beyond 2032 or locations omitted from this release, Queensland State Government 2023 SA2 projections based on 2021 numbers are referenced. Because state projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (2022 base year) across individual age brackets. Anticipated demographic patterns point to an overall increase placing just beneath the national median for statistical areas; specifically, aggregated SA2 projections indicate the suburb of Darra will expand by 437 persons to 2041, representing a cumulative 10.2% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
126 new dwellings have been approved in Darra over the past five years, an average of 25 a year. That is 5.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 20 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 30% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, well below 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
ABS building approval figures aggregated by AreaSearch reveal that Darra has averaged approximately 25 residential approvals annually, delivering an estimated 126 homes across the previous 5 financial years. During FY-25 to date, 3 approvals have been logged. With an average influx of merely 0.1 new residents per year arriving per new home over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), construction volume is matching or outstripping demand, broadening buyer options and laying the groundwork for population gains beyond projected levels. New residences feature an average estimated construction cost of $530,000—moderately higher than regional figures—pointing toward high-calibre residential projects.
Furthermore, $34.2 million in commercial building approvals has been authorized this financial year, underscoring solid non-residential construction activity. Recent residential planning approvals are divided between 30.0% standalone houses and 70.0% medium to high-density options. This emphasis on medium and high-density builds provides more accessible price points catering to downsizers, property investors, and first-time buyers. It represents a marked departure from the existing dwelling landscape (where houses make up 89.0%), responding to limited greenfield sites alongside evolving household lifestyles and budget considerations. An estimated ratio of 385 people in the locality per residential approval highlights an unhurried, subdued development setting. Moving forward, projections indicate Darra will add 437 residents through to 2041 (calculated from AreaSearch's latest quarterly baseline). Prevailing building activity appears well-positioned to satisfy housing requirements, supporting buyer-friendly market dynamics while facilitating potential demographic expansion ahead of current expectations.

2,360 residents of Darra are employed, from a labour force of 2,478. Unemployment sits at 4.8%, with participation at 70.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,429, about 173% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Darra maintains a capable workforce with solid concentration across key essential industries, accompanied by an unemployment rate of 4.8% and an annual estimated job growth rate of 10.5%, according to statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents stood at 2,360, while the local jobless rate sat 0.4% higher than the 4.3% recorded for Greater Brisbane, with the participation rate matching Greater Brisbane at 70.1%. Census records showed that 16.5% of working residents performed their duties from home, an outcome influenced in part by Covid-19 restrictions. Primary sources of resident employment include health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade.
The community demonstrates an exceptional concentration in manufacturing, where its employment proportion reaches 1.7 times regional numbers. In contrast, the professional & technical sector accounts for 7.5%, trailing the regional benchmark of 8.9%. Recording 2.0 workers for every resident at the Census, Darra serves as an employment center that provides more jobs than it has resident workers, drawing labour from adjacent districts. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM metrics across broader statistical areas, the 12 months to March 2026 saw local employment rise by 10.5% against a 9.5% expansion in the labour force, reducing the local unemployment rate by 0.9 percentage points. Across Greater Brisbane over the same timeframe, employment expanded by 3.2%, the workforce increased by 3.4%, and unemployment ticked up by 0.1 percentage points. Long-term insight into local labour requirements is provided by Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year horizons. Nationally, total employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge by sector. When applied to Darra's industry composition, these industry weightings suggest local job numbers could rise by 6.2% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (a basic illustrative extrapolation that excludes local demographic 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 — 43 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (4,098 at the 2021 Census → 4,300 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.
