Sales Detail
Nyora (Vic.) has an estimated 1,621 residents. Density is about 20 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 ABS demographic updates for the surrounding region alongside newly validated locations confirmed by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Nyora (Vic.) has a population of approximately 1,621 in May 2026. Compared to the 1,644 residents recorded in the 2021 Census, this represents a drop of 23 individuals (1.4%). The calculation relies on a resident base of 1,617, which AreaSearch determined using the ABS June 2025 ERP data alongside 12 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population level yields a density of 20 persons per square kilometer, which ensures a spacious living environment.
Interstate migration served as the main driver of growth, accounting for roughly 57.99999999999999% of total population additions in recent times, though other sources like international migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. AreaSearch implements the 2024 SA2 projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as their starting point. Where SA2 data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA dataset and scaled to SA2 level via weighted growth aggregation. Projections for 2032 through 2041 apply age-cohort growth rates derived from this method. These demographic projections point to a shrinking population in the suburb of Nyora (Vic.) over the forecast period, decreasing by 166 persons by 2041. Even so, certain age groups are set to grow, particularly the 25 to 34 age bracket, which is expected to rise by 22 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
28 new dwellings have been approved in Nyora (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 3.4 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
An evaluation of building approvals from statistical areas by AreaSearch reveals that Nyora typically averages about 5 newly approved dwellings annually, with a total of 28 homes approved over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 1 approvals have been documented. Since the population has been contracting recently, the volume of new supply has likely matched local demand, providing options for buyers. The average value of these approved homes stands at $411,000, indicating that developers are focusing on upmarket, premium properties. Additionally, commercial approvals reached $101,000 during this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the locality.
Moreover, recent construction approvals consist solely of free-standing houses, reinforcing the low-density, traditional feel of the community and offering spacious properties suited for families. With approximately 270 people for each approved home, Nyora displays the spatial patterns of a low-density environment. Given that demographic projections point to stable or declining numbers, Nyora is likely to experience less pressure on housing demand, which should benefit home buyers.

876 residents of Nyora (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 889. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 68.6%. 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 1,376, about 85% 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 features a balanced labor force consisting of both professional and manual workers, with the building sector being especially well-represented. The area recorded a very low unemployment rate of 1.5% and a 2.7% growth in estimated employment over the preceding year, as compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area datasets. By March 2026876 residents were employed, and the local unemployment rate was 2.2% lower than the 3.7% rate seen across Regional Vic. Furthermore, labor force participation is exceptionally high at 68.6%, compared with 61.1% in Regional Vic. Census records show that a moderate 17.5% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and health care & social assistance. The local workforce is heavily concentrated in construction, representing 1.7 times the average proportion in Regional Vic. In contrast, health care & social assistance is under-represented, employing just 11.6% of local workers compared to 16.8% across Regional Vic. A comparison of the Census working population against resident workers indicates that local job opportunities are somewhat limited. Based on AreaSearch research into SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from the broader region, the year ending March 2026 saw employment climb by 2.7% and the labor force expand by 2.2%, leading to a 0.5 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Regional Vic. saw employment fall by 0.1% and its workforce contract by 0.3%, resulting in a 0.2 percentage point decline. Long-term employment forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding demand in Nyora. These five-year and ten-year national projections were applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual industries vary widely. Mapping these trends to the local industry mix yields estimated employment increases in Nyora of 5.5% over five years and 11.9% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not incorporate local population 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 — 12 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,644 at the 2021 Census → 1,621 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 May 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.
