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 findings by AreaSearch, the population of Eumundi - Yandina stands at approximately 13,869 as of May 2026. Compared to the 2021 Census, which recorded 12,348 residents, the population has expanded by 1,521 people (12.3%). This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 13,729 alongside 594 validated new addresses registered after the census. With a density of 64 persons per square kilometer, the region offers a low-density living environment with substantial space per resident. The local growth rate of 12.3% since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of Qld average of 9.2% as well as national figures, positioning the area as a regional growth leader.
The primary driver of this population growth was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 49.2% of the total gains, though natural increase and overseas migration also contributed positively. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, issued in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline, are utilized for each SA2. For areas lacking this data, or for years past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (based on 2021 data) are applied. Because Queensland state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, cohort weightings are aligned proportionally with the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (using 2022 baseline data). Demographic forecasts indicate a substantial population rise that ranks in the top tier of regional areas nationwide, with Eumundi - Yandina projected to add 3,186 residents by 2041 relative to the latest annual ERP statistics, representing a 22.0% expansion over the 16 years.

Detail
New home approvals in Eumundi - Yandina have averaged approximately 107 per year, amounting to 535 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. For the current FY-26 period, 104 approvals have been registered. With an average of 3.1 new residents per built dwelling arriving annually between FY-21 and FY-25, construction is lagging behind demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and drives up prices, while new builds average a construction cost of $366,000. Furthermore, commercial development approvals have reached $71.8 million during this financial year, pointing to active business investment locally.
Eumundi - Yandina displays a higher volume of development relative to the Rest of Qld, running 19.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period, which helps maintain buyer options while supporting demand for existing real estate. Housing built recently consists of 81.0% detached homes and 19.0% attached dwellings, maintaining a low-density profile focused on single-family properties that appeal to buyers seeking space. The region averages about 129 people per dwelling approval, reflecting a growing market. Projections indicate that Eumundi - Yandina will gain 3,046 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current levels of building activity appear structured to meet these future demands, which should support stable market conditions without causing notable price acceleration.

7,052 residents of Eumundi - Yandina are employed, from a labour force of 7,345. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 66.4%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 Eumundi - Yandina is highly skilled, with strong representation in the construction sector and a low unemployment rate of 4.0%. As of March 2026, employed residents number 7,052, while the unemployment rate is comparable to the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%. Participation in the labor force is typical at 66.4% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census data indicates that 19.2% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The workforce shows a distinct concentration in construction, where the employment share is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, public adminstration & safety is underrepresented, employing only 3.0% of the local workforce compared to 5.9% across Regional Qld. Although there are local employment options, a comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests a high level of outbound commuting for work. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, the local labor force contracted by 2.3% while total employment fell by 3.0%, resulting in a 0.8 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Qld saw employment rise by 0.1% and its labor force grow by 0.3%, with a minor 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future local demand. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential employment trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries will grow at different rates. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment for Eumundi - Yandina residents could grow by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, representing a basic weighting extrapolation that does not account for local population projections.

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 — 594 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (12,348 at the 2021 Census → 13,869 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.
