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.

Detail
According to research by AreaSearch, the resident count for Jilliby - Yarramalong stands at approximately 3,630 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 210 people (6.1%) compared to the 3,420 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 3,627 as of June 2025 alongside 9 validated new addresses tracked post-Census. With these numbers, the local density equates to 10.5 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space for residents. Outpacing both the broader SA3 territory and the wider SA4 region (3.4%), Jilliby - Yarramalong's 6.1% post-2021 census expansion established it as a primary regional growth pocket.
Inflow from interstate migration formed the principal demographic catalyst, generating roughly 44.3% of total population additions over recent timeframes, though natural growth and overseas arrivals also provided positive momentum. Projections developed by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as the base year) are incorporated by AreaSearch for local SA2 territories, complemented by NSW State Government SA2 projections (released in 2022 using 2021 as the base year) for locations lacking direct coverage. Age-specific trajectory rates derived from these series are extended across all areas for 2032 to 2041. In light of these anticipated demographic developments, local expansion is tracking marginally beneath the national median; the district is projected to add 221 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which amounts to a cumulative rise of 6.0% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
32 new dwellings have been approved in Jilliby - Yarramalong over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Annual residential approvals in Jilliby - Yarramalong average roughly 6 dwellings, accumulating to 32 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Given that approximately 5.7 new residents arrived for every residential completion over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local building activity is trailing population influx considerably, creating upward pricing pressure through heightened buyer demand while newly approved residential builds register an average expected construction cost of $528,000. Concurrently, commercial building approvals have reached $6.2 million during this financial year, pointing to modest non-residential development activity. Per capita building approvals in Jilliby - Yarramalong track 58.0% below regional average per person, marking a sharp divergence from Greater Sydney.
Such restrained construction volume typically bolsters real estate values and sustains demand across established housing stock. This performance similarly trails country-wide benchmarks, reflecting the mature nature of the locality and potential regulatory or planning constraints. Moreover, detached houses account for the entire share of recent construction, preserving a low-density suburban landscape oriented around spacious family residences. A ratio of 708 people per approved dwelling highlights the restrained pace of local development. Demographic models forecast that Jilliby - Yarramalong will add 218 residents through to 2041 (benchmarked against the latest quarterly figures from AreaSearch). Under prevailing building patterns, the pipeline of residential construction appears well-positioned to satisfy incoming demand, creating favorable market conditions for prospective purchasers and potentially enabling population additions beyond baseline forecasts.

2,077 residents of Jilliby - Yarramalong are employed, from a labour force of 2,152. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 70.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 3,038, about 84% 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 local labour market in Jilliby - Yarramalong features a capable talent pool characterized by a heavy weighting toward construction trades, an unemployment level of only 3.5%, and an estimated 3.0% growth in jobs across the preceding year. There were 2,077 residents in work as of March 2026, while the jobless rate came in 0.6% below Greater Sydney's figure of 4.1%, accompanied by an overall participation rate that closely tracks Greater Sydney's 68.9%. Census records indicate that 33.2% of employed locals conducted their work from home, a proportion that should be evaluated in the context of Covid-19 restrictions.
Employment among residents is primarily concentrated across construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. Construction demonstrates the strongest local presence, registering a workforce concentration 1.6 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 6.7% of working residents, trailing Greater Sydney's 11.5%. A comparison between resident workers and the local workplace count indicates that employment options within the immediate boundary remain relatively contained. AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM metrics indicates that in the year to March 2026, resident employment rose by 3.0% alongside a 3.5% workforce expansion, leading to an unemployment uptick of 0.5 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Sydney recorded identical 1.9% increases across both employment and total labour force, accompanied by a slight drop in unemployment. Longer-range trajectory insights can be drawn from national forecasts published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. These five- and ten-year models have been cross-referenced against the local industry profile. At the country-wide level, overall employment is projected to expand by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. Applying these industry benchmarks to the specific workforce structure of Jilliby - Yarramalong indicates potential employment growth of 6.3% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (a weighted structural extrapolation intended for context, excluding localized demographic shifts).

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 — 9 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (3,420 at the 2021 Census → 3,630 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 Aug 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.
