Demographics & Identity in Manilla
Who lives here — how many people, how old they are, and how communities identify.
A shrinking population and an ageing society have shaped Manilla since 2011. The area has become far older than the national figure, with nearly 30% of residents now aged 65 and over. This shift is matched by a significant rise in the proportion of people identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
