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.

Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. 391 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Yass Surrounds stands at approximately 13,356 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 643 individuals (5.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 12,713 residents. This adjustment is calculated using the ABS estimated resident population of 13,346 from June 2025 alongside 391 validated new addresses identified since the Census. With this population level, the density ratio is 2.4 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious environment for residents. The 5.1% population expansion in Yass Surrounds since the 2021 census outpaced the SA3 area (2.5%) and the SA4 region, establishing the locality as a leader in regional growth.
The main driver of this population growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 39.5% of the overall gains, though other contributors such as natural increase and overseas migration also registered positive results. AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 regions, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 with a 2021 baseline are applied. Age bracket growth rates derived from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041 across all sectors. Future demographic projections suggest that the locality will experience population growth exceeding the median for national regional areas, with an anticipated rise of 2,147 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 16.0% over the 16-year timeframe.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
394 new dwellings have been approved in Yass Surrounds over the past five years, an average of 78 a year. That places the area in the 82nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 69 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 99% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 81, broadly in line with that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Yass Surrounds has seen an average of approximately 78 home approvals annually, resulting in a total of 394 residential approvals over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 75 approvals have been registered. With an average of 2.3 new occupants added per approved dwelling over the 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, steady demand is apparent, which should help maintain local property values. The average projected cost for these new builds is $563,000, which indicates that developers are concentrating on the premium tier of the market with higher-specification builds.
Additionally, commercial development remains a minor focus, with only $6.8 million in commercial approvals registered during the current financial year. Per capita construction activity in Yass Surrounds is 50.0% higher than in the Rest of NSW, providing home purchasers with a broader range of options. The composition of new building approvals is heavily weighted toward detached housing, with standalone homes making up 99.0% of activity and townhouses or apartments comprising just 1.0%, thereby preserving the low-density, family-oriented environment preferred by residents desiring space. The region exhibits a ratio of roughly 162 people per single dwelling approval, confirming its status as a low-density residential market. Projections indicate that Yass Surrounds will add 2,137 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. The current pace of residential construction suggests that housing supply will easily accommodate this population influx, maintaining favorable purchasing conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond current baseline projections.

7,701 residents of Yass Surrounds are employed, from a labour force of 7,767. Unemployment sits at 0.8%, with participation at 71.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 10,890, about 82% 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 workforce in Yass Surrounds is characterized by high levels of education and a strong presence in essential services, with an unemployment rate of only 0.8%. As of March 2026, the area has 7,701 employed residents, featuring an unemployment rate that is 3.3% lower than the 4.1% recorded across Regional NSW. Participation in the labor force is significantly elevated, standing at 71.6% compared to the Regional NSW average of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a moderate proportion of the workforce (21.4%) operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 lock-down measures.
Local employment is predominantly concentrated in the public administration & safety, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and construction industries. Public administration & safety is exceptionally prominent, employing residents at 2.7 times the rate seen across the rest of the region. On the other hand, health care & social assistance is underrepresented locally, accounting for 8.3% of jobs compared to the regional benchmark of 16.9%. A comparison between the count of working residents and the local jobs available suggests that the area provides relatively few employment options within its borders. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS data for the 12-month period ending March 2026, the local labor force contracted by 2.2% and total employment fell by 1.9%, which caused the overall unemployment rate to drop by 0.3 percentage points. This contrasts with the broader trend in Regional NSW, where employment fell by 0.9%, the labor force declined by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate rose by 0.5 percentage points. Broader employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional context regarding future employment trends in Yass Surrounds. These five- and ten-year national outlooks have been aligned with the local industry mix to project regional employment trajectories. Although national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Adjusting for the specific industry breakdown in Yass Surrounds, local employment is projected to rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.3% over ten years, representing a simple weighted extrapolation for comparison that does not incorporate localized population adjustments.

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 — 391 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,713 at the 2021 Census → 13,356 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.
