Detail
Based on an evaluation of demographic updates from the ABS for the wider region and recently verified locations by AreaSearch following the Census, the resident population of the suburb of Yenda (NSW) is projected to be approximately 1,592 by May 2026. This represents an addition of 28 individuals (1.8%) compared to the 2021 Census, which registered 1,564 people. The movement is calculated from a resident base of 1,590, which was calculated by AreaSearch using the ABS release of June 2025 and subsequent address verification. With this population level, the density stands at 7.8 persons per square kilometer, indicating a spacious residential environment.
The post-census expansion of 1.8% in the suburb of Yenda (NSW) trails the SA4 region (2.2%) by only 0.4 percentage points, indicating steady underlying growth. Natural increase was the primary contributor, accounting for roughly 52.0% of the demographic expansion in the latest intervals. AreaSearch incorporates regional projections from Geoscience Australia and the ABS published in 2024 using 2022 as the starting point. Where such projections are unavailable, SA2 estimations from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are substituted. Age-specific growth velocities from these datasets are projected forward for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking at future patterns in the suburb of Yenda (NSW), population gains are expected to track slightly underneath the national median for regional localities, with projections indicating a rise of 94 persons by 2041, representing a total expansion of 5.8% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Property development in this locality is minimal, averaging fewer than one approval annually, resulting in a negligible number of new dwellings over the five-year period. This quiet construction landscape highlights the rural character of the area, where building starts are driven by individual residential requirements rather than speculative market forces. Because the volume of approvals is so small, year-on-year percentage movements and comparisons can shift dramatically based on single building projects. The volume of new residential projects is significantly lower than the average across the Rest of NSW, and building activity also falls below nationwide benchmarks.

822 residents of Yenda (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 850. Unemployment sits at 3.3%, with participation at 66.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.5% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,229, about 77% 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 local workforce exhibits an even distribution between industrial and professional roles, with notable concentration in production sectors, and an unemployment rate of only 3.3% according to integrated regional statistics. As of March 2026, there are 822 employed residents, with unemployment tracking 0.8% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1%, while workforce participation is elevated at 66.1% relative to the regional level of 60.6%. Census data indicates that a modest 8.9% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure was likely influenced by public health restrictions. The primary source of jobs for residents consists of production, agricultural activities, forestry & fishing, along with health care & social assistance.
Local employment is heavily oriented toward manufacturing, which occupies a proportion of the workforce 3.7 times larger than the regional standard. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 9.8% of local jobs, compared to 16.9% across Regional NSW. A comparison between the count of local jobs and the size of the working resident population suggests that local employment opportunities are limited. According to research on SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional levels, the workforce contracted by 3.8% during the 12-month period, while overall employment dropped by 4.0%, leading to a rise in the unemployment rate of 0.1 percentage points. By comparison, Regional NSW recorded a decrease in employment of 0.9% and a workforce contraction of 0.4%, with the jobless rate rising by 0.5 percentage points. Broader trends can be observed in national workforce projections from May-25 released by Jobs and Skills Australia. These national expectations for five and ten-year periods have been matched to local profiles to estimate potential employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is anticipated to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though velocities vary across different fields. Weighting these national rates against local workforce shares suggests employment could rise by 4.5% over five years and 10.7% over ten years, representing a basic mathematical extrapolation that excludes local demographic 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (1,564 at the 2021 Census → 1,592 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.
