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 2.6% a year over five years, faster than 78% of areas nationally. 592 new addresses have been validated here since Census night.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Demographic assessment by AreaSearch indicates that the resident count in Eumundi - Yandina stands at approximately 13,869 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 12,348 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a net expansion of 1,521 people (12.3%). This adjustment is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 13,729 as of June 2025 alongside 592 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The local population density corresponds to 64 persons per square kilometer, providing an open, low-density living environment. With a 12.3% rate of expansion since the 2021 census, the area outpaced both the national benchmark and Rest of Qld (9.4%), establishing itself as a standout growth corridor.
Inbound interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 49.2% of recent population additions, complemented by positive contributions from natural increase and overseas arrivals. Projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as the base year) are utilised for local SA2 modeling. In instances where SA2 areas lack coverage from this series, or for timeframes beyond post-2032, figures rely on the Queensland State Government SA2 projections published in 2023 from 2021 baseline data. Because state datasets omit age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings from the ABS Greater Capital Region series (issued in 2023 based on 2022 data) across each demographic cohort. Driven by these broader structural shifts, the district is projected to sit within the upper quartile of non-metropolitan growth zones, expanding by 3,171 persons to 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, which equates to an overall gain of 21.9% across the 16 years.

7,052 residents of Eumundi - Yandina are employed, from a labour force of 7,345. Unemployment sits at 4.0%, with participation at 66.0%. 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 local labour market in Eumundi - Yandina is characterised by a capable workforce, led by strong representation in the building and construction trade, alongside a low unemployment rate of 4.0%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 7,052, while joblessness aligns closely with the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, and labour force participation mirrors the Regional Qld benchmark of 64.2%. Census records show that 19.2% of workers operated from home, though this figure reflects conditions during Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The workforce exhibits heavy concentration in construction, where participation is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for only 3.0% of resident workers, trailing the 5.9% seen across Regional Qld. A comparison of resident workers to local employment counts suggests a substantial share of the workforce commutes outside the area for employment. According to AreaSearch evaluation of ABS and SALM figures, the past 12-month period saw a contraction of 2.3% in the labour pool and a 3.0% drop in total employment, contributing to an unemployment rate increase of 0.8 percentage points. By comparison, Regional Qld recorded a 0.1% increase in employment and a 0.3% rise in the labour force, accompanied by a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. Broader labor demand trajectory can be assessed through national projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. Projected industry trajectories across five- and ten-year horizons have been weighted against the area's employment distribution to outline expected growth. Against nationwide employment growth targets of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies considerably. Mapping these sector projections to the Eumundi - Yandina employment base indicates expected employment growth of 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (note that this model uses a baseline weighting approach for illustrative context and excludes 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 — 592 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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.
