Eumundi - Yandina lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Eumundi-Yandina's population is approximately 13,768 as of November 2025. This figure represents an increase of 1,420 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 12,348.

Eumundi-Yandina's 11.5% growth since the Census exceeds both the non-metro area average (8.8%) and the national average, indicating it as a region with significant growth. Interstate migration contributed approximately 54.9% to this population increase, although all factors including natural growth and overseas migration were positive contributors.

AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area until 2032, then applies Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections post-2032, with proportional growth weightings applied where age category splits are unavailable. Demographic trends forecast a substantial population increase in the top quartile of regional areas nationally by 2041, with Eumundi-Yandina expected to gain an additional 3,452 persons over this period, representing a total increase of 23.1%.
