This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Detail
According to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS demographic updates with new post-Census address validations, the suburb of Yarrawonga (Vic.) recorded an estimated population of around 8,956 as of Aug 2026. This represents a gain of 295 people (3.4%) over the 8,661 people counted in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch established this change by reviewing the ABS Estimated Resident Population (ERP) release from June 2025—which showed 8,954 residents—alongside 892 validated new addresses registered after the Census date. With a density ratio of 94 persons per square kilometer, the suburb provides ample space per resident and substantial scope for future expansion.
Outperforming both the broader SA3 area and the SA4 region (1.1%), the suburb of Yarrawonga (Vic.) established itself as a regional growth leader with its 3.4% expansion since the 2021 census. Inbound interstate migration served as the primary growth catalyst, generating approximately 87.0% of recent population additions. Projections generated by the ABS and Geoscience Australia from 2024 (using 2022 as a base) form the foundation of AreaSearch's SA2 modeling, while unrepresented SA2s draw on 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA datasets adjusted via weighted growth aggregations from LGA to SA2 tiers. These age-cohort growth aggregations are extended across all districts from 2032 to 2041. Forward-looking projections place the suburb of Yarrawonga (Vic.) within the top 10 percent of Australia's non-metropolitan territories for expansion, with aggregated SA2 estimates forecasting an addition of 5,471 persons through to 2041—equating to an aggregate rise of 61.1% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
772 new dwellings have been approved in Yarrawonga (Vic.) over the past five years, an average of 154 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 17 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 171 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 230, 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 of ABS building approvals across statistical boundaries indicates that Yarrawonga has maintained an average approval rate of approximately 154 new homes annually, tallying an estimated 772 residential approvals across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 230 approvals to date in FY-25. Because local population growth averaged merely 0.5 people annually for every new home constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), residential construction has comfortably matched or outpaced inbound demand, providing extensive choice for buyers and unlocking building capacity ahead of demographic projections.
These new dwellings carry an average construction cost of $409,000. Furthermore, commercial building approvals have reached $3.3 million during this financial year, underscoring the predominantly residential orientation of the area. Per-capita building activity in Yarrawonga tracks 105.0% above the benchmark for Rest of Vic., affording purchasers a broader selection of properties. This volume sits well clear of national norms, demonstrating robust confidence among property developers. Detached houses constitute 95.0% of all recent approvals, with medium and high-density housing accounting for the remaining 5.0%, reinforcing the locality's low-density profile with spacious family residences. Approval figures averaging roughly 45 people per approval highlight Yarrawonga's low-density urban footprint. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, prospective population projections show Yarrawonga expanding by 5,469 residents leading up to 2041. While residential construction currently keeps sound pace with anticipated demand, incoming population expansion may eventually heighten competition among prospective property buyers.

3,756 residents of Yarrawonga (Vic.) are employed, from a labour force of 3,872. Unemployment sits at 3.0%, with participation at 51.2%. 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. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Yarrawonga maintains an even distribution of blue-collar and white-collar workers, bolstered by prominent accommodation and tourism operations. The local job market exhibits an unemployment rate of 3.0% and achieved an estimated 2.0% employment growth over the preceding year, according to AreaSearch's aggregated statistical area datasets. Total employed residents numbered 3,756 as of March 2026. The area's jobless rate sits 0.7% lower than the 3.7% recorded across Regional Vic., though local labour force participation (51.2%) trails the Regional Vic. mark of 61.1%. Furthermore, 9.1% of working residents stated in the Census that they worked from home, a metric that may incorporate the influence of Covid-19 restrictions.
The primary employers of local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, as well as accommodation & food. In particular, accommodation & food demonstrates substantial local concentration, holding an employment proportion 1.9 times greater than the regional benchmark. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 4.2% of local workers compared to 7.5% across the wider region. When comparing the resident workforce against the Census working population, the district appears to provide a limited pool of internal local jobs. Employment rose 2.0% across the 12 months to March 2026, while the labour force grew by 3.4%, leading to a 1.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Regional Vic. saw a 0.1% drop in employment and a 0.3% decline in the labour force, which contributed to a 0.2 percentage point decrease in unemployment. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Mar-26 provide additional context for anticipating future demand in Yarrawonga. These projections span five and ten-year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to project growth trajectories. Although national employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, sectoral growth rates vary considerably. Applying these sectoral forecasts to Yarrawonga's current employment composition indicates that local employment should rise by 5.9% over five years and 12.6% over ten years, though this is a simplified weighting exercise for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate local 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 — 892 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (8,661 at the 2021 Census → 8,956 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 Aug 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.
