Sales Detail
Nyora (Vic.) has an estimated 1,657 residents. Density is about 21 people per square kilometre. 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 AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS population releases with post-Census address validations, the suburb of Nyora (Vic.) has a population of approximately 1,657 as of Aug 2026. This figure marks an addition of 13 people (0.8%) relative to the 1,644 people recorded in the 2021 Census. Such movement stems from an Estimated Resident Population of 1,653 established from the ABS ERP figures of June 2025 alongside 27 validated new addresses identified following the Census. In terms of land use, this community size delivers a low-density environment of 20 persons per square kilometer, ensuring spacious living conditions.
Demographic expansion was mostly underpinned by net interstate arrivals, which represented roughly 57.99999999999999% of total gains in recent times, though natural increases and overseas migration also provided positive contributions. In modelling future demographics for the suburb of Nyora (Vic.), baseline projections rely on 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia releases anchored to 2022. For locations requiring alternative coverage, 2023 Victorian State Government LGA and regional series are incorporated through weighted growth aggregation scaled to the SA2 level, with cohort-specific rates applied across all areas between 2032 and 2041. Under these projections, overall headcounts across the suburb of Nyora (Vic.) are slated to contract by 165 persons by 2041. Nevertheless, selected demographics will see expansion, particularly the 25 to 34 age bracket which is forecast to gain 14 people.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
30 new dwellings have been approved in Nyora (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 6 a year. That is 3.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 1, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building approval data compiled by AreaSearch from ABS statistical records shows that Nyora has averaged approximately 6 new dwelling permits annually, amounting to roughly 30 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 1 approvals have been documented. Amid past local population losses, residential additions have comfortably satisfied local requirements, sustaining balanced conditions and generous purchasing options, with approved dwellings carrying an average expected construction cost of $508,000—a figure exceeding regional benchmarks and pointing to higher-end builds. On the non-residential side, commercial building approvals have generated $101,000 during this financial year, underscoring subdued commercial construction.
Furthermore, all recent building activity has been exclusively focused on standalone houses, preserving low-density neighbourhoods and catering to purchasers seeking detached space. The ratio of 1622 people per building consent further illustrates the area's tranquil, low-scale development environment. Given that demographic forecasts indicate a steady or contracting population base, building demand across Nyora is likely to ease, offering favourable conditions for prospective purchasers.

920 residents of Nyora (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 934. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 70.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,394, about 84% 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
Nyora maintains a diverse employment landscape bridging blue-collar and professional disciplines, distinguished by prominent construction activity, an extremely low jobless figure of 1.5%, and annual job growth of 3.7% according to AreaSearch statistical aggregations. Across the community as of March 2026920 residents are actively employed, with the unemployment rate tracking 2.2% below the Regional Vic. benchmark of 3.7% and labour force participation reaching a high 70.8% against 61.1% regionally. Census returns indicated that 17.5% of workers operated from home, though pandemic movement restrictions during that period should be noted. Resident workers are primarily concentrated in construction, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and health care & social assistance.
Local labour shows a notable concentration in building and construction, capturing a market share 1.7 times that seen throughout the broader region. Conversely, health care & social assistance is comparatively underrepresented, engaging 11.6% of the workforce compared to 16.8% across Regional Vic.. Comparisons between local resident counts and Census place-of-work figures demonstrate that local job availability within the township remains constrained. Reviewing combined ABS and SALM series, the past 12-month window witnessed local employment expanding by 3.7% alongside a 3.2% rise in the labour pool, which brought the unemployment rate down by 0.5 percentage points. By contrast, Regional Vic. recorded a 0.1% decline in employment, a 0.3% contraction in the labour pool, and a 0.2 percentage points decrease in unemployment. Broader labor trends can be evaluated via Jobs and Skills Australia forecasts from Mar-26 mapped to local industry structures. Nationally, employment is projected to rise 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variance across sectors. Proportioning these projections across Nyora's sector profile suggests local positions could expand by 5.5% over five years and 11.9% over ten years (representing a weighted baseline calculation that omits localized demographic forecasts).

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 — 27 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,644 at the 2021 Census → 1,657 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 (SAL21996). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
