Eumundi - Yandina

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

Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Eumundi - Yandina's population is around 14,077 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,729 people (14.0%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 12,348 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 13,501 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 504 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 65 persons per square kilometer, providing ample space per person. Eumundi - Yandina's 14.0% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the Rest of Qld (9.1%) and the national average, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by interstate migration, which contributed approximately 54.9% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers, including natural growth and overseas migration, were positive factors.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data, are adopted. It should be noted that these state projections do not provide age category splits; hence, where utilised, AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections (released in 2023, based on 2022 data) for each age cohort. Looking at population projections moving forward, a significant population increase in the top quartile of locations outside of capital cities is forecast, with the area expected to grow by 3,452 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting a gain of 20.4% in total over the 17 years.

The level of residential development activity in Eumundi - Yandina was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

Eumundi - Yandina has experienced around 107 dwellings receiving development approval annually, totalling 535 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26, 59 approvals have been recorded. Given an average of 3.3 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), supply is substantially lagging demand, which generally means heightened buyer competition, leading to pricing pressures, while new properties are constructed at an average value of $366,000. There have also been $71.8 million in commercial approvals this financial year, demonstrating high levels of local commercial activity.

Compared to the rest of Qld, Eumundi - Yandina shows moderately higher development activity (20.0% above regional average per person over the 5 year period), preserving reasonable buyer options while sustaining existing property demand. Recent construction comprises 81.0% detached dwellings and 19.0% attached dwellings, preserving the area's low density nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. The location has approximately 126 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market.

Population forecasts indicate Eumundi - Yandina will gain 2,876 residents through to 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Present construction rates appear balanced with future demand, fostering steady market conditions without excessive price pressure.

While Eumundi - Yandina retains a healthy unemployment rate of 3.7%, recent employment declines have impacted its national performance ranking

Eumundi - Yandina has a skilled workforce, with the construction sector a particular standout in terms of representation, and an unemployment rate of only 3.7%. As of December 2025, 7,052 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 0.3% below Regional Qld's rate of 4.0%, and workforce participation is fairly standard (67.4% compared to Regional Qld's 65.4%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 19.2% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.

The key industries of employment among residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The area shows particularly strong specialization in construction, with an employment share of 1.4 times the regional level. On the other hand, public administration & safety is under-represented, with only 3.0% of Eumundi - Yandina's workforce compared to 5.9% in Regional Qld. While local employment opportunities exist in the area, it appears many residents commute elsewhere for work, based on the count of Census working population to local population.

Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, the 12-month period saw the labour force decrease by 3.1% combined with employment decreasing by 3.0%, resulting in the unemployment rate falling by 0.2 percentage points. In contrast, Regional Qld experienced employment growth of 0.7% and labour force growth of 1.0%, with a 0.3 percentage point rise. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Eumundi - Yandina. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Eumundi - Yandina's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.6% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).
