Eumundi-Yandina's population, as per AreaSearch's analysis, was around 13,869 by May 2026. This figure represents a growth of 1,521 individuals (12.3%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 12,348.

This results in a density ratio of 64 persons per square kilometer. Eumundi-Yandina's growth rate exceeded the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and the national average since the 2021 Census, indicating it as a regional growth leader. Interstate migration contributed approximately 49.2% to overall population gains during recent periods, with all factors including overseas migration and natural growth being positive drivers.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data or years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023, based on 2021 data, are adopted. These state projections lack age category splits; thus, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Demographically, a significant population increase is forecast for the top quartile of regional areas nationally by 2041, with Eumundi-Yandina expected to gain 3,186 persons, reflecting a total growth of 22.0% over the 16-year period based on latest annual ERP population numbers.
