Yankalilla has an estimated 1,653 residents, up from 963 at the 2021 Census — a change of 690 people, or 71.7%. Growth has averaged 11.5% a year over five years, faster than 99% of areas nationally. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 86.0% of that increase. Density is about 51 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
Based on research into ABS population updates for the wider region, alongside address files validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Yankalilla has a population estimated at around 1,653 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 690 people (71.7%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the recorded population was 963 people. This trend is calculated from the resident population of 1,648, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the most recent ABS ERP data release (June 2025) and an additional 6 validated new addresses since the Census date.
Such a population size corresponds to a density ratio of 50 persons per square kilometer, an environment that offers plenty of space per resident. The 71.7% expansion rate in the suburb of Yankalilla since the 2021 census was faster than the Rest of SA (5.9%), as well as the SA4 region, establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion in the locality was mostly propelled by interstate migration, which accounted for approximately 86.0% of overall population increases during recent times. AreaSearch implements ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, which were published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions lacking this data, and for any years after 2032, regional and LGA projections by age category from the SA State Government, published in 2023 and utilizing 2021 data, are applied with adjustments calculated through a weighted aggregation of population expansion from LGA to SA2 levels. Factoring in the anticipated demographic changes, projections indicate above median population growth for non-metropolitan locations across the country, with the suburb of Yankalilla forecast to add 323 persons by 2041 under aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a total increase of 19.2% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
92 new dwellings have been approved in Yankalilla over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That places the area in the 89th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 23 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 70, running ahead of 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
Analysis by AreaSearch of ABS building approvals, distributed from statistical area figures, indicates that Yankalilla averages approximately 18 approved new residences annually, with a total of 92 homes approved over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 65 during the current FY-26. With an average of 7.5 new residents per year arriving for each finished home over the previous 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand outstrips new construction, which commonly leads to rising prices and heightened competition among buyers, while new properties carry an average construction value of $528,000, indicating developers are targeting the upper tier of the market with premium builds.
Furthermore, $961,000 in commercial approvals have been registered this financial year, highlighting the residential focus of the locality. Compared with the Rest of SA, Yankalilla records comparable per-capita development levels, preserving a market equilibrium that matches the surrounding region. This activity is substantially elevated relative to national trends, indicating strong developer trust in the area. Additionally, all recent construction projects have been standalone houses, preserving the classic low-density feel of the area with a focus on family-oriented properties that attract buyers looking for space. Averaging roughly 46 people for every dwelling approval, Yankalilla displays the hallmarks of an expanding market. Demographic projections show Yankalilla is on track to add 318 residents by 2041 (starting from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly estimate). Based on ongoing building volumes, housing supply looks set to satisfy demand, offering favorable purchasing environments and potentially paving the way for growth that outpaces current predictions.

620 residents of Yankalilla are employed, from a labour force of 657. Unemployment sits at 5.5%, with participation at 44.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 1,407, 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
The employment landscape in Yankalilla reflects a mix of white and blue collar roles, with manufacturing and industrial fields making up a substantial share of the local job market. According to AreaSearch aggregations of statistical area data, the area experienced an estimated employment growth of 11.1% over the previous year and maintained an unemployment rate of 5.5%. By March 2026, there were 620 residents actively employed, and the local unemployment rate matched that of Regional SA at 5.5%. However, workforce participation in Yankalilla was notably lower at 44.8% compared to the 58.4% rate observed in Regional SA.
Census data indicated that 14.9% of residents worked from home, a figure that should be interpreted with caution given the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns. Resident employment is heavily weighted toward healthcare & social assistance, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and construction. The local workforce has a particularly strong concentration in construction, matching 1.4 times the regional standard. Conversely, manufacturing is less prominent, accounting for 6.8% of local jobs compared to 9.3% across the wider region. The relationship between the Census working population and resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are somewhat limited. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, during the 12 months leading up to March 2026, employment expanded by 11.1% while the labor force grew by 13.1%, resulting in a 1.5 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. By comparison, Regional SA experienced employment growth of 1.2%, labor force growth of 2.6%, and an unemployment rise of 1.4 percentage points. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends within Yankalilla. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth trends. Globally, national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though these figures vary widely across different sectors. Applying these industry-specific trends to the local employment mix suggests that Yankalilla's workforce is projected to grow by 5.9% over five years and 12.7% over ten years (note that this represents a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local population changes).

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 — 6 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (963 at the 2021 Census → 1,653 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.
