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 ABS regional demographic updates and post-Census address validations by AreaSearch, the suburb of Yenda (NSW) records an estimated 1,607 residents as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 43 people (2.7%) over the 2021 Census tally of 1,564 people.

The resulting population density stands at 7.8 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space. The 2.7% pace of expansion recorded in the suburb of Yenda (NSW) since the 2021 census outperformed both the broader SA4 region and the local SA3 area (1.9%), establishing the locality as a leading regional growth center.
Natural increase served as the primary growth engine, underpinning roughly 52.0% of recent population additions. Projections for the suburb of Yenda (NSW) incorporate the 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia dataset across SA2 boundaries with a 2022 baseline, supplemented where necessary by 2022 NSW State Government SA2 releases with a 2021 baseline. Age-specific growth trajectories from these sources are extended across all districts between 2032 and 2041. Over the coming years, expansion across the suburb of Yenda (NSW) is projected to track marginally beneath the nationwide regional median, adding 98 persons through to 2041 via aggregated SA2 projections—amounting to an overall gain of 5.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
Construction and planning activity in Yenda remains exceptionally subdued, with building approvals averaging fewer than 1 per year (totaling 1 approval across five years). Minimal volumes of this nature reflect typical rural conditions where residential demand is conservative and physical development is constrained by local requirements and utility limits. Given the small baseline, annual trends and comparative ratios can shift markedly from single developments. Building activity across Yenda sits substantially beneath levels observed throughout Rest of NSW, with local development volumes also falling far short of national figures.

829 residents of Yenda (NSW) are employed, from a labour force of 858. Unemployment sits at 3.4%, with participation at 66.8%. 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 1,241, 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 labour market in Yenda encompasses an even distribution of professional and trade-oriented roles, highlighted by extensive industrial and manufacturing activities alongside a low unemployment rate of 3.4% derived from AreaSearch statistical compilations. As of March 2026, employed residents count 829, with joblessness sitting 0.7% below the Regional NSW benchmark of 4.1% and labour force participation reaching a strong 66.8% compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Remote work was recorded by only 8.9% of residents at the Census, though pandemic lockdowns should be kept in mind. Resident employment centers primarily around manufacturing, agriculture, forestry & fishing, and health care & social assistance.
Local sector specialization is especially pronounced in manufacturing, which commands a workforce share 3.7 times above regional figures. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for merely 9.8% of local employment, trailing the 16.9% recorded in Regional NSW. A comparison of Census local workers against the resident worker count highlights constrained employment opportunities within the immediate area. AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistical records indicate that over the 12-month period, a 3.8% contraction in the labour pool and a 4.1% reduction in total employment lifted the unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage points. Over the same timeframe across Regional NSW, employment decreased by 0.9%, the workforce fell by 0.4%, and joblessness increased by 0.5 percentage points. Mar-26 industry projections from Jobs and Skills Australia shed light on future workforce prospects in Yenda. Projected nationwide employment growth of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years displays marked variation by industry. Weighting these sectoral forecasts against Yenda's local industry structure indicates potential workforce growth of 4.5% across five years and 10.7% across ten years (representing an illustrative weighting model that excludes specific local demographic trends).

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 — 48 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,564 at the 2021 Census → 1,607 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.
