This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Jilliby - Yarramalong has an estimated 3,627 residents, up from 3,420 at the 2021 Census — a change of 207 people, or 6.1%. Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years.

Detail
According to research conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Jilliby - Yarramalong is estimated at approximately 3,627 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 207 residents (6.1%) from the 3,420 citizens recorded during the 2021 Census. This adjustment is calculated utilizing the ABS estimated resident population of 3,627 as of June 2025 alongside 8 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such population numbers translate to a density of 10.5 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious living environment. The area's 6.1% expansion rate since the 2021 census paced ahead of both the broader SA4 region (3.4%) and the SA3 territory, establishing it as a local growth frontrunner.
This population rise was chiefly powered by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 44.3% of the total demographic gains, though all components including overseas arrivals and natural increase contributed positively. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch employs projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. Where these projections are unavailable, SA2 data from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year is applied. The age cohort growth velocities derived from these sources are likewise extended to cover the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, population growth is projected to track slightly below the national median for statistical areas, with a forecasted net addition of 221 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing an overall increase of 6.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
42 new dwellings have been approved in Jilliby - Yarramalong over the past five years, an average of 8 a year. That is 2.4 approvals per 1,000 residents.

Detail
Jilliby - Yarramalong has recorded a yearly average of approximately 8 new home approvals, summing to 42 residences over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 3 approvals documented. With an average of 4.3 new occupants per year for each built residence during the past 5 financial years (spanning FY-21 to FY-25), demand runs well ahead of new completions, a dynamic that typically spurs price appreciation and heightens buyer rivalry, with new buildings constructed at an average cost of $344,000. Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $6.2 million this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential focus of the locality.
Jilliby - Yarramalong registers roughly 57% of the per capita construction volume observed in Greater Sydney, placing it in the 36th percentile of all examined locations nationwide, which translates to fewer purchasing options and bolsters demand for established properties. This below-average national standing points to a mature property market and potential planning hurdles. Furthermore, recent building starts consisted entirely of single-family detached houses, preserving the low-density character of the neighborhood and appealing to buyers seeking spacious environments. The ratio of 457 people for every single home approval emphasizes the quiet, low-intensity pace of local development. Projections for the future indicate that Jilliby - Yarramalong will gain 221 residents by 2041 (computed from the most recent quarterly estimates by AreaSearch). At current construction velocities, the incoming residential supply is expected to sufficiently satisfy demand, yielding favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially paving the way for expansion that outpaces current predictions.

Covering a 3,900 hectare study area, the plan provides a 20 year framework to support population growth from around 20,162 residents to approximately 57,000, accommodating an additional 10,130 dwellings and capacity for around 8,500 new jobs. Ten precincts are identified for staged rezoning and detailed planning, including Wyong Employment Zone with Central Coast Airport, Warnervale Village, Wallarah Residential, Warnervale Town Centre and the Charmhaven and Kanwal precincts.Two new neighbourhood centres replace the previously planned Warnervale Town Centre at full scale, following the withdrawal of the proposed North Warnervale rail station.

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 — 8 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,420 at the 2021 Census → 3,627 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 (102021049). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
