The Suco has 2994 inhabitants (2015), of which 1528 are men and 1466 women. The population density is 172.7 inhabitants / km². There are 437 households in the Suco. Over 96% of the population name Tetum Prasa as their mother tongue. Minorities speak Mambai or Lolein .

Before the 2015 territorial reform, Dare had an area of ​​23.88 km². Now it is 17.33 km². The Suco forms the south of the Vera Cruz administrative office. To the north are the Sucos Vila Verde and Lahane Oriental . To the northeast is the Cristo Rei administrative office with its Suco Balibar , to the northwest the Dom Aleixo administrative office with its sucos Bairro Pite and Comoro . In the south lies the Laulara administrative office with its Sucos Fatisi , Tohumeta , Madabeno and Cotolau belonging to the municipality of Aileu . The southern border of Dare is largely formed by the Bemos River , which later flows into the Comoro River as Beinas . Two other rivers have their source in the north of Dares and flow north during the rainy season. The Maloa then follows the north-western border between Vera Cruz and Dom Aleixo.

In addition to Dare, there are Casnafar ( Kazanafar ), Laulara Lama , Laus , Bemarua ( Bematua ), Kerolisa and Boromata in the Suco . In the far east, the place Laulara extends from Suco Cotolau to Dare. There is a second elementary school in Fatu Naba ( Fatunabe , Fatunaba ).

In Fatu Naba is the memorial to the battle for Timor . It was built by Australian veterans in 1969 and is dedicated to the Timorese who supported the Australian soldiers in fighting the Japanese invaders during World War II . Between 1942 and 1945, 40,000 Timorese died from the fighting and the occupation. The memorial consists only of a concrete block with two flagpoles on which the flags of Australia and East Timor hang. There are also two bronze plaques: one from 1969 in Portuguese, one from 1999 in English, which Australian soldiers added after the 1999 East Timor crisis . In 2009 the memorial was rebuilt by Australian soldiers because the old one was falling apart. Since 2010 it has also had a museum and a café.

In Suco there are the ten Aldeias Casnafar , Coalau I , Coalau II , Fatu Naba , Fila Beba Tua , Fuguira / Bauloc , Leilaus , Lemorana , Nahaec and Suca Lau .
