Yagoona has an estimated 20,858 residents, up from 19,651 at the 2021 Census — a change of 1,207 people, or 6.1%. Growth has averaged 0.8% a year over five years. 116 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Overseas migration accounts for 62.0% of that increase. That puts 4,515 residents on each 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
Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Yagoona's population is estimated at around 20,858 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 1,207 people (6.1%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 19,651 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 20,717, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional 116 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This level of population equates to a density ratio of 4,514 persons per square kilometer, which lies in the top 10% of national locations assessed by AreaSearch, making land in the area a highly-sought resource. Yagoona's 6.1% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA3 area (5.4%), marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 62.0% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch is adopting 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, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Moving forward with demographic trends, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas analysed by AreaSearch is expected, with the area expected to increase by 1,838 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting recording a gain of 8.1% in total over the 16 years.

Approved residential construction values average $436,000, marginally exceeding the broader region and indicating a preference for higher quality builds.
Commercial project approvals for this current financial year have reached $43.2 million, highlighting substantial business development initiatives locally. Compared with Greater Sydney, building activity levels per capita in the suburb of Yagoona are comparable, maintaining a balanced housing market aligned with the wider metropolitan region. The breakdown of residential construction comprises 55.0% standalone houses and 45.0% attached dwellings, offering a wider choice of medium-density housing that addresses various budget requirements, from standard family homes to more economical compact spaces.

8,513 residents of Yagoona are employed, from a labour force of 9,405. Unemployment sits at 9.5%, with participation at 57.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 17,160, about 82% 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
Workforce analysis reveals a qualified labor pool in the suburb of Yagoona, spanning a wide array of business sectors. The local unemployment rate stands at 9.5%, with job growth estimated at 2.4% over the preceding year based on localized statistical area metrics. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 8,513, though the jobless rate sits 5.3% higher than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, pointing to potential for workforce absorption. Labor force participation remains comparatively low, sitting at 57.3% against the 69.1% documented for Greater Sydney. Census responses indicated that a notable 32.9% of the working population operated from home, though this figure likely reflects the influence of pandemic-related restrictions.
The primary sectors employing residents of the suburb of Yagoona are healthcare & social assistance, retail trade, and logistics, postal & warehousing. Logistics, postal & warehousing shows a particularly strong local presence, employing workers at 1.8 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for 6.8% of the local workforce compared to 11.5% across Greater Sydney. Comparing the census count of local jobs to the resident workforce indicates that this predominantly residential district provides limited employment opportunities within its own boundaries. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics for the broader area indicate that employment expanded by 2.4% over the 12-month period, while the labor pool expanded by 3.6%, resulting in a 1.1 percentage point rise in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe, Greater Sydney recorded employment expansion of 1.9% and labor force growth of 1.9%, accompanied by a minor decrease in joblessness. National employment forecasts from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future local demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary widely by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against the local workforce mix suggests employment in the suburb of Yagoona should rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.2% over ten years, representing a simple proportional projection that does not factor in local 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 — 116 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (19,651 at the 2021 Census → 20,858 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.
