Sales Detail
Yallourn North has an estimated 1,531 residents. Density is about 19 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
Drawing from ABS population data updates for the region and new address verifications by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Yallourn North has a population estimated at 1,531 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 20 people (1.3%) compared to the 2021 Census, when the headcount was 1,511 people. This shift is calculated from a resident population of 1,529, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP data release combined with 12 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. Such population levels result in a density of 19.0 persons per square kilometer, which indicates residents have plenty of space.
The post-census expansion of 1.3% in the suburb of Yallourn North is within 1.5 percentage points of the wider SA3 region (2.8%), showing healthy growth dynamics. Inflow from interstate was the main contributor to these demographic gains, accounting for roughly 50.0% of the recent population growth, even though all other components including natural increase and overseas migration also registered positive results. AreaSearch incorporates regional projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 localities missing from that dataset, AreaSearch uses the 2023 projections from the Victorian State Government for LGAs and regions, adjusting them via weighted aggregation to translate LGA figures to SA2 boundaries. The age cohort growth trajectories derived from these aggregations are also applied across all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic transitions, substantial population growth is expected within the top quartile of regional Australia, with projections indicating the area will expand by 347 persons by 2041, representing a overall increase of 22.5% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
27 new dwellings have been approved in Yallourn North over the past five years, an average of 5 a year. That is 3.6 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 2, 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
According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approvals mapped to local areas, the suburb of Yallourn North averages approximately 5 residential building approvals annually, translating to an estimated 27 homes over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 2 approvals have been documented so far. With an average of only 0.7 new residents per completed home arriving between FY-21 and FY-25, the volume of new supply is keeping pace with or outpacing demand, providing buyers with options and creating capacity for population growth to exceed current forecasts.
Meanwhile, new properties carry an average construction value of $449,000, indicating that builders are targeting the higher-end market with premium developments. Additionally, there were commercial approvals worth $68,000 during this financial year, which highlights the dominant residential character of the locality. Compared to the Rest of Vic., the suburb of Yallourn North has roughly two-thirds the rate of new residential approvals per capita, placing it in the 76th percentile of all examined areas nationwide, even though construction pace has picked up of late. This rate of building activity remains below the national average, pointing to the mature nature of the local market and suggesting potential planning constraints. Furthermore, new building activity has consisted entirely of detached houses, preserving the low-density profile of the community and focusing on family properties designed for space. The area registers approximately 161 people per housing approval, reflecting a low-density residential environment. Looking forward, the suburb of Yallourn North is projected to add 345 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If the current pace of construction continues, the supply of housing may not keep up with population growth, which could increase competition among buyers and support future price increases.

742 residents of Yallourn North are employed, from a labour force of 776. Unemployment sits at 4.4%, with participation at 61.4%. 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 1,206, about 79% 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
The suburb of Yallourn North features a diverse workforce containing a mix of white and blue collar jobs, with a solid representation in essential services, an unemployment rate of 4.4%, and estimated job growth of 2.9% over the past year based on statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, the employed resident population stood at 742, while the local unemployment rate was 0.7% higher than the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%. Participation in the workforce was equal to the Regional Vic. average of 61.1%. Data from the Census indicates that a modest 10.6% of residents worked from home, although the influence of pandemic lockdowns should be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade. The workforce shows a strong specialization in the electricity, gas, water & waste utility sector, with a share that is 4.5 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing has a small footprint, employing only 3.9% of the local workforce compared to 7.5% across the region. Local job opportunities appear somewhat restricted, as suggested by comparing the count of working residents to those who work locally in the Census. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, employment rose by 2.9% and the labour force grew by 1.8% during the 12 months leading to March 2026, which helped lower the unemployment rate by 1.0 percentage points. Conversely, Regional Vic. saw employment fall by 0.1% and its workforce decrease by 0.3%, with a decline of 0.2 percentage points in unemployment. National employment projections released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on future demand trends for the suburb of Yallourn North. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although total employment nationwide is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates of change vary widely by industry. Projecting these industry trends onto the local workforce mix suggests that employment for residents of the suburb of Yallourn North could rise by 6.3% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that 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 (1,511 at the 2021 Census → 1,531 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL22894). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
