Sales Detail
Durack (Qld) has an estimated 8,235 residents, up from 7,788 at the 2021 Census — a change of 447 people, or 5.7%. Growth has averaged 0.7% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 71.0% of that increase. That puts 2,028 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 releases for the wider region and fresh residential addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Durack (Qld) has a projected residency of approximately 8,235 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 447 residents (5.7%) compared to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 7,788 people. The variation is calculated from the resident count of 8,235, which AreaSearch estimated by reviewing the most recent ABS ERP statistics (June 2025) alongside 6 validated new addresses established after the Census. This count translates to a density of 2,028 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio recorded across nationwide locations monitored by AreaSearch.
In recent times, local population gains were mostly fueled by international arrivals, who accounted for about 71.0% of the overall demographic increase. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch uses demographic projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the baseline. In cases where SA2 areas lack this coverage, or for periods after 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and grounded in 2021 data are utilized. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales age groups using weights matching the Greater Capital Region projections from the ABS (published in 2023, using 2022 data) for every age bracket. Looking at future population forecasts, the suburb of Durack (Qld) is set to experience growth slightly under the median for all nationwide statistical regions, with projections indicating an expansion of 501 persons by 2041, which represents an overall rise of 6.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
90 new dwellings have been approved in Durack (Qld) over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 2.3 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 21, broadly in line with 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval records mapped from regional data indicate that the suburb of Durack (Qld) averages approximately 18 dwelling approvals annually, with a total of 90 residential properties approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 20 approvals recorded during FY-26 so far. An average of 3 individuals per year have relocated to the locality for each newly built home during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), indicating strong demand that should help maintain real estate values, while new dwellings carry an average construction value of $340,000.
Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $10.9 million this financial year, showing ongoing business investment. In comparison to Greater Brisbane, the suburb of Durack (Qld) records about two-thirds the volume of new home approvals per capita, placing in the 19th percentile of all analyzed locations across the country, which limits purchasing options and boosts demand for established properties. This approval rate is also lower than the national standard, indicating a mature residential market and potential building limitations. Furthermore, recent building activity consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the residential character of the neighborhood with a focus on separate dwellings that appeal to buyers looking for space. This construction trend leans more toward detached houses than Census baseline distributions indicate (68.0% at Census), showing persistent demand for stand-alone family residences despite rising density. The ratio of about 863 people per approved dwelling highlights the highly mature state of the local market. Moving forward, the suburb of Durack (Qld) is projected to add 501 residents by 2041 (calculated from the most recent quarterly figures by AreaSearch). Current construction rates appear well-matched with future demand, which should keep market conditions balanced without driving up prices.

3,851 residents of Durack (Qld) are employed, from a labour force of 4,024. Unemployment sits at 4.3%, with participation at 59.1%. 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 6,494, about 79% 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
The workforce in the suburb of Durack (Qld) is characterized by qualified personnel across multiple industries, an unemployment rate of 4.3%, and an estimated job growth rate of 12.0% over the prior year, based on AreaSearch calculations from regional statistics. In March 2026, there were 3,851 employed residents, and while local unemployment is identical to the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, workforce participation is substantially lower, sitting at 59.1% compared to 70.4% in Greater Brisbane. Census replies show that a minor 9.9% of residents worked from their homes, though this could reflect pandemic-related lockdown measures.
Residents are primarily employed within health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and retail trade. The industrial sector of manufacturing is highly represented here, with local jobs in this field reaching 2.0 times the average across the wider region. By contrast, professional & technical roles account for only 4.5% of local employment, compared to a regional average of 8.9%. This mostly residential community seems to present few local employment options, as shown by comparing the count of working residents against the overall resident workforce. According to AreaSearch studies of SALM and ABS statistics compiled from broader geographic areas, the year leading up to March 2026 saw employment expand by 12.0% and the overall labor pool grow by 10.1%, leading to a decrease of 1.7 percentage points in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Brisbane recorded a job growth of 3.2%, a labor force expansion of 3.4%, and an increase of 0.1 percentage points in unemployment. National job forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia published in May-25 provide extra context for potential future labor needs in the suburb of Durack (Qld). These projections, spanning five and ten-year intervals, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Although national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local distribution suggests employment in the suburb of Durack (Qld) will rise by 6.0% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population forecasts).

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 May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,788 at the 2021 Census → 8,235 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 (SAL30905). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
