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
Fannie Bay has an estimated 3,211 residents, up from 2,875 at the 2021 Census — a change of 336 people, or 11.7%. Growth has averaged 1.3% a year over five years, faster than 77% of areas nationally. Overseas migration accounts for 100.0% of that increase. That puts 1,515 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 demographic updates from the ABS for the wider region and address checks conducted by AreaSearch since the national survey, the population of Fannie Bay is calculated to be approximately 3,211 in May 2026. This represents a gain of 336 people (11.7%) relative to the 2,875 individuals counted during the 2021 Census. This adjustment is based on a resident population of 3,211 calculated by AreaSearch using the June 2025 ERP release from the ABS alongside 49 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. With this population level, the density stands at 1,514 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical figure across Australian locations evaluated by AreaSearch.
The growth rate of 11.7% in the suburb of Fannie Bay since the 2021 census outpaced the nationwide benchmark of 9.3%, positioning the locality as a leading growth area within its territory. This expansion was mostly driven by net overseas migration, which served as the sole contributor to population increases in recent times. Projections sourced from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions released in 2024 using 2022 as a starting point have been adopted. For SA2 divisions lacking this data, and to model growth beyond 2032, cohort-specific growth rates from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections using 2022 data are applied. Future projections point to population growth exceeding the median for Australian statistical territories, with the suburb of Fannie Bay anticipated to add 458 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall rise of 14.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
22 new dwellings have been approved in Fannie Bay over the past five years, an average of 4 a year. That is 1.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 4, 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
Analysis of statistical area building approvals indicates that the suburb of Fannie Bay has recorded an annual average of about 4 residential approvals, amounting to an estimated 22 dwellings approved over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, plus 4 approvals during FY-26 so far. Because the area has added an average of 9.4 new residents for each constructed home during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand remains far ahead of supply, creating upward pressure on pricing and intensifying buyer competition. Approved dwellings carry an average construction value of $1,554,000, which points to a developer focus on high-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $4.8 million this financial year, showing a quiet commercial construction sector. On a per-person basis, the suburb of Fannie Bay shows 84.0% more development approvals than Greater Darwin, offering more options to prospective purchasers, although local building momentum has eased recently. This level of activity also falls below the national benchmark, reflecting a mature market with potential physical limits to new construction. Approved residential builds consist of 80.0% detached houses and 20.0% multi-unit housing, maintaining a low-density profile centered on standalone dwellings for buyers seeking space. Developers are opting for standalone houses at a higher rate than the current housing profile of 35.0% at the Census would suggest, showing sustained interest in single-family residences despite densification trends. The ratio of roughly 1050 residents per approval indicates a mature, settled locality. Looking forward, the population of the suburb of Fannie Bay is set to increase by 458 people by 2041, based on the latest quarterly numbers from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, housing additions may fall short of population gains, which could heighten buyer competition and reinforce upward home price trends.

1,950 residents of Fannie Bay are employed, from a labour force of 1,975. Unemployment sits at 1.3%, with participation at 71.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,389, about 74% 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
Locals in the suburb of Fannie Bay are highly qualified, with a strong showing in critical service industries, an unemployment rate of only 1.3%, and consistent employment numbers over the past year. As of March 2026, there are 1,950 working residents, and the local jobless rate sits 2.2% lower than the 3.5% reported for Greater Darwin, while workforce participation aligns closely with the capital city rate of 72.7%. Census records indicate that a small portion of working residents, 6.7%, performed their jobs from home, though this period was affected by pandemic restrictions.
The principal career fields for working residents are public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical services. The workforce displays a heavy concentration in professional & technical fields, with employment shares reaching 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, construction fields employ only 6.1% of local workers, which is below the 9.2% rate seen across Greater Darwin. Comparison of the Census working population against the resident base suggests this largely residential locality offers few employment roles within its own boundaries. According to SALM and ABS statistics compiled across broader geographic divisions, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 0.4% and the labor force rise by 0.7%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same interval in Greater Darwin, employment grew by 0.4%, the workforce expanded by 0.8%, and the jobless rate increased by 0.3 percentage points. Long-term national employment projections from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce profile to model future trends. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though expansion rates vary by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the local workforce mix suggests employment among residents of the suburb of Fannie Bay should rise by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, assuming a basic extrapolation that does not account for local 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 — 49 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,875 at the 2021 Census → 3,211 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.
