Sales Detail
Yarralumla has an estimated 3,230 residents, up from 3,120 at the 2021 Census — a change of 110 people, or 3.5%. That puts 391 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 demographic evaluations from the ABS for the surrounding region, combined with fresh street addresses verified by AreaSearch subsequent to the Census, the suburb of Yarralumla has an estimated residency of approximately 3,230 individuals in May 2026. This represents a gain of 110 people (3.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 3,120 people. This shift is calculated from a resident base of 3,154, projected by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures alongside 29 validated new addresses confirmed since the Census. Such a population count translates to 391 persons per square kilometer, offering ample room per resident and capacity for future housing projects.
Overseas arrivals served as the primary contributor to demographic gains, acting as the sole driver of population growth over the latest timeframe. Projections established by the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year are utilized for SA2 zones. For locations without these figures, or for periods past 2032, demographic growth rates by age bracket from the ACT Government's SA2 projections starting in 2022 are employed. Looking at future demographic trends, population expansion in the suburb of Yarralumla is anticipated to be slightly below the median of regions monitored by AreaSearch, with the locality projected to add 304 residents by 2041 via aggregated SA2 data, representing an overall increase of 7.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
55 new dwellings have been approved in Yarralumla over the past five years, an average of 11 a year. That is 3.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 6, 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
Based on building permit figures from the ABS allocated to this statistical territory, the suburb of Yarralumla averaged approximately 11 residential building approvals annually. This equates to 55 residential approvals over the preceding 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, with 6 completions recorded during FY-26 to date. Given that household occupancy grew by an average of only 0.9 new residents per built home over the prior 5 financial years from FY-21 to FY-25, new completions are keeping pace with or exceeding demand. This provides prospective buyers with expanded opportunities and supports demographic growth potential beyond current projections.
New residences have a mean construction value of $666,000, showcasing a developer focus on high-end, premium housing. Additionally, commercial development approvals reached $31.4 million this financial year, pointing to robust non-residential investment. Compared to the broader Australian Capital Territory, the suburb of Yarralumla experiences a lower rate of construction, sitting 60.0% below the regional average per resident. While this restricted supply generally acts to bolster values and demand for established residences, construction has shown signs of accelerating in recent times. This building rate is likewise below the nationwide average, reflecting the mature layout of the suburb and potentially indicating planning constraints. Furthermore, all recent residential projects have consisted of detached homes, preserving low density patterns and catering to buyers seeking space. Interestingly, builders are focusing on detached housing at a higher rate than the baseline proportion of 65.0% observed at the Census, indicating sustained consumer demand for standalone family homes even as density increases elsewhere. With a ratio of 209 people per dwelling approval, the suburb of Yarralumla displays the structural markers of a low-density neighborhood. Looking forward, the suburb of Yarralumla is projected to increase its residency by 228 individuals through to 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. At the current pace of construction, new residential projects are expected to easily satisfy housing demand, providing favorable purchasing conditions and potentially accelerating population gains beyond current forecasts.

1,573 residents of Yarralumla are employed, from a labour force of 1,615. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 58.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 7.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 Yarralumla is characterized by a highly qualified resident workforce with strong representation in professional services, alongside an unemployment rate of only 2.6% and an estimated annual job growth rate of 0.8%, according to compiled regional data. As of March 2026, there are 1,573 working residents. The local unemployment rate sits 1.5% below the Australian Capital Territory average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably lower at 58.7% compared to the territory-wide figure of 70.8%. Census data indicates that a moderate 18.9% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for residents are public administration & safety, professional & technical, and health care & social assistance. The local workforce shows a strong specialization in professional & technical fields, with employment shares in this sector reaching 1.7 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, public administration & safety accounts for 27.0% of local jobs, which is lower than the Australian Capital Territory average of 30.4%. Although local employment options exist, a significant portion of the working population commutes to other areas, based on comparisons between the Census workforce count and the local resident base. AreaSearch combined SALM and ABS data from wider statistical regions to show that between the year to March 2026, employment grew by 0.8% while the labour force expanded by 1.1%, leading to an unemployment increase of 0.3 percentage points. This differs from the Australian Capital Territory, where employment rose by 0.3%, the labour force grew by 1.1%, and unemployment climbed by 0.7 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia released national employment forecasts from May-25 that provide additional context for anticipated demand within Yarralumla. These forecasts span five and ten-year horizons and were overlaid with local employment data to project growth trajectories. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-level projections are applied to Yarralumla’s employment composition, local employment is expected to rise by 7.2% over five years and by 14.5% over ten years, noting that this simple weighting extrapolation is for illustrative purposes and excludes localised population projections.

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 — 29 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,120 at the 2021 Census → 3,230 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 (SAL80136). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
