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.

Sales Detail
Yankalilla has an estimated 7,028 residents, up from 6,498 at the 2021 Census — a change of 530 people, or 8.2%. Growth has averaged 1.8% a year over five years. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 86.6% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
According to findings from AreaSearch, the resident count in Yankalilla stands at approximately 7,028 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 530 residents (8.2%) relative to the 2021 Census, when 6,498 people were recorded. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 6,998 as of June 2025 alongside address validation tracking conducted post-Census. With a population density of 7.2 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers considerable space per resident. Yankalilla's 8.2% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA4 region and the Rest of SA (6.2%), establishing it as an area of notable growth.
Inflow from interstate migrants served as the primary growth catalyst, accounting for roughly 86.6% of net demographic increases over recent timeframes. Projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as their starting baseline) are applied by AreaSearch across individual SA2 boundaries. Where localities fall outside these datasets, or across periods beyond post-2032, state government Regional/LGA age-cohort forecasts published in 2023 from 2021 benchmarks are used instead, incorporating weighted growth aggregations from LGA down to SA2 zones. In light of these anticipated demographic transitions, population gains are expected to track above the national regional median, adding 807 persons by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP figures, translating to an overall expansion of 11.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
412 new dwellings have been approved in Yankalilla over the past five years, an average of 82 a year. That places the area in the 79th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 12 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 82 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 99% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential planning permissions in Yankalilla have averaged roughly 82 dwellings per annum, totaling 412 approved homes across the latest 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Local supply and demand remain evenly matched, evidenced by an average intake of 1.5 people per year for every dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), fostering a stable building environment with newly approved dwellings carrying an expected construction cost of $400,000 on average. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have totaled $5.8 million this financial year, underscoring the district's predominantly residential character.
On a per-capita basis, building activity in Yankalilla closely mirrors the Rest of SA, sustaining steady local conditions consistent with broader state trends. When benchmarked nationwide, this level of activity is considerably above average, pointing to robust builder and developer interest. Recent approvals are heavily skewed toward separate houses at 99.0%, alongside 1.0% townhouses or apartments, reinforcing the region's spacious, low-density fabric and catering to buyers seeking standalone properties. The ratio of approximately 86 people per dwelling approval highlights a steadily growing residential market. Moving forward, Yankalilla is forecast to gain 777 additional inhabitants by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Provided building activity continues at its present pace, residential construction is positioned to satisfy inbound housing requirements, offering supportive purchasing conditions and potentially opening pathways for growth ahead of existing baseline projections.

3,124 residents of Yankalilla are employed, from a labour force of 3,224. Unemployment sits at 3.1%, with participation at 52.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 6,406, about 91% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Yankalilla possesses a capable labor pool spread across multiple industries, accompanied by an unemployment rate of merely 3.1% and year-on-year employment growth estimated at 3.3%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 3,124, keeping local joblessness 2.4% beneath the Regional SA benchmark of 5.5%, even though labor force engagement remains comparatively subdued (52.8% versus 58.3% across Regional SA). Census records indicate that 18.5% of working residents carried out their duties from home, an observation potentially shaped by pandemic-era mobility restrictions. A significant portion of local workers are engaged within agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and construction.
Building and construction displays particularly elevated concentration, capturing an employment share 1.3 times the wider regional baseline. Conversely, manufacturing represents a smaller share of the local economy, absorbing 6.2% of Yankalilla's workforce relative to 9.3% across Regional SA. Discrepancies between the resident labor force and the count of local jobs documented in the Census indicate that within-area employment positions remain relatively constrained. According to AreaSearch evaluations of ABS and SALM metrics, the twelve months to March 2026 saw local employment rise by 3.3% while the total workforce grew by 4.3%, leading to an uptick in the unemployment rate of 0.9 percentage points. Across Regional SA over the same timeframe, jobs increased by 1.2%, labor force size expanded by 2.6%, and the jobless rate climbed 1.4 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provides broader perspective on future hiring trends relevant to Yankalilla. These five- and ten-year models have been cross-referenced with the local sector makeup to outline potential trajectories. Against projected nationwide employment gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, industry performance varies substantially. Adjusting for Yankalilla's specific sector distribution indicates potential employment growth of 5.7% over five years and 12.3% over ten years (representing an illustrative weighted calculation that does not incorporate specific localized population modeling).

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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (6,498 at the 2021 Census → 7,028 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 (407011149). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
