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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population residing in Malanda - Yungaburra stands at approximately 9,864 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 769 people (8.5%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 9,095 people. This demographic movement draws upon the ABS estimated resident population figure of 9,700 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 553 validated new addresses confirmed following the Census. Such headcounts translate to a population density of 7.9 persons per square kilometer, ensuring a spacious residential setting. Outpacing both its broader SA4 region and the SA3 area (7.6%), Malanda - Yungaburra's 8.5% post-2021 Census expansion establishes it at the forefront of regional growth.
Interstate migration served as the core growth engine, generating around 81.4% of total net gains over recent timeframes. Projections compiled by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 with a 2022 baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries. For unlisted SA2s or projections extending past 2032, Queensland State Government SA2 series released in 2023 utilizing 2021 baseline inputs are incorporated. Because state-level datasets lack detailed age breakdowns, AreaSearch utilizes proportional age-cohort weighting drawn from the 2023-released ABS Greater Capital Region series based on 2022 benchmarks. Anticipated demographic trajectories point toward expansion tracking slightly under the regional Australian median, with the community projected to add 631 persons to 2041 under latest annual ERP metrics, culminating in an aggregate gain of 4.7% throughout the 16 years.

Applying this sectoral distribution to Malanda - Yungaburra indicates potential employment gains of 5.8% across five years and 12.4% over ten years (representing an unadjusted weighted baseline for illustrative use without integrating localized population shifts).

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 — 553 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (9,095 at the 2021 Census → 9,864 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (306051169). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
