DemographicsPopulation Growth in Yatala

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Yatala has an estimated 1,974 residents, up from 1,405 at the 2021 Census — a change of 569 people, or 40.5%. Growth has averaged 6.9% a year over five years, faster than 96% of areas nationally. 112 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 43.0% of that increase. That puts 141 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

Drawing on ABS population revisions for the broader district alongside recent addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Yatala has a projected residency of approximately 1,974 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 569 residents (40.5%) relative to the 2021 Census, which registered 1,405 citizens. The modification is calculated from a local population of 1,971, which AreaSearch estimated after evaluating the ABS June 2025 release of ERP figures and incorporating an extra 112 validated new addresses post-Census. With this population level, the density ratio sits at 140 persons per square kilometer, offering ample room per citizen and scope for future expansion.

The 40.5% expansion rate for the suburb of Yatala since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of Qld (9.2%) as well as the nationwide trend, establishing it as a regional growth leader. Population expansion locally was chiefly propelled by natural increase, which accounted for roughly 43.0% of the overall gains in recent times, though all components including overseas and interstate migration made positive contributions. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 district. In cases where SA2 locations lack this data, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (utilizing 2021 data) are adopted instead. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales cohort growth proportionally using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023 (based on 2022 data). Demographic forecasts show that the suburb of Yatala is set to experience population gains above the national non-metropolitan median, with aggregated SA2 calculations indicating an increase of 270 persons by 2041, representing a total rise of 13.5% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Yatala

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

102 new dwellings have been approved in Yatala over the past five years, an average of 20 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, 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

AreaSearch evaluations of building approvals from the ABS, distributed from wider statistical zones, show that Yatala has averaged approximately 20 residential building permits annually, translating to an estimated 102 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 12 approvals have been documented. Since an average of 5.5 new occupants per year have arrived for each built home over the last 5 financial years (running from FY-21 to FY-25), the volume of new supply is lagging behind demand, which typically intensifies buyer competition and exerts upward pressure on prices, while new dwellings average an estimated construction value of $371,000.

Furthermore, $982,000 in commercial building permits have been logged in the current financial year, pointing to a primary focus on residential projects. Compared against the Rest of Qld, Yatala shows relatively high building volume, running 47.0% above the regional average per resident over the 5 year period, which maintains options for purchasers while supporting demand for existing homes, even though building pace has slowed of late. This rate is significantly higher than the national standard, demonstrating high developer confidence. Current residential building is split between 95.0% standalone houses and 5.0% semi-detached options, preserving the classic low-density feel of the neighborhood with family-oriented spaces. With approximately 181 people per permit, Yatala is behaving like a developing locality. Looking forward, the local population is expected to expand by 267 individuals through to 2041, relative to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. Maintaining current construction volumes suggests new home completions should easily satisfy demand, maintaining favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially underpinning growth beyond current demographic forecasts.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Yatala

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

1,278 residents of Yatala are employed, from a labour force of 1,298. Unemployment sits at 1.5%, with participation at 78.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% 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 4,703, about 2.4 times the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

Yatala is characterized by a skilled resident workforce, with the building sector showing particularly strong representation, a minimal unemployment rate of 1.5%, and an annual employment growth estimate of 9.8% based on AreaSearch statistical aggregations. As of March 2026, there are 1,278 employed local residents, and the unemployment rate is 2.4% below the Regional Qld benchmark of 3.9%, while labor force participation is exceptionally high at 78.3% compared to Regional Qld's 64.3%. Census figures show a moderate 15.9% of the local workforce worked from home, though this may reflect pandemic-related restrictions.

The primary employment sectors for local residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The area exhibits a high concentration of construction workers, with participation levels reaching 1.8 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance is under-represented, employing only 11.0% of the local workforce compared to 16.1% across Regional Qld. Recording 3.4 workers for every resident at the Census, the locality serves as a major employment destination, providing more jobs than it has working residents and drawing commuters from neighboring suburbs. According to AreaSearch processing of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the 12 months leading up to March 2026 saw employment expand by 9.8% and the labor force rise by 9.6%, which lowered the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage points. This stands in contrast to Regional Qld, where employment grew by 0.1%, the workforce rose by 0.3%, and unemployment increased by 0.1 percentage points. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia issued in May-25 offer additional context on future job demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential expansion. While national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, the rates differ by industry sector. Applying these trends to the local industry mix suggests employment among residents could rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.8% over ten years, though this is a basic weighted projection that does not factor in 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 — 112 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,405 at the 2021 Census → 1,974 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 (SAL33214). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Yatala suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Yatala page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Yatala data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Apr 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
