Detail

According to investigations of ABS demographic releases for the wider region, alongside recent physical addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Yeppoon has an estimated residency of approximately 7,399 individuals as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 362 people (5.1%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the headcount stood at 7,037 people. The calculation is based on a resident headcount of 7,376, calculated by AreaSearch using the most recent ABS ERP numbers from June 2025 coupled with 97 validated new addresses registered after the Census date.

This population scale translates to a density of 768 persons per square kilometer, which aligns closely with typical values recorded across AreaSearch study sites. Over the last ten years, the suburb of Yeppoon has exhibited steady expansion, maintaining a 1.0% compound annual growth rate that outpaced the SA3 region. This demographic expansion was chiefly supported by migration from other states, which accounted for roughly 75.0% of the overall population increases recently, though all contributing components, including international migration and natural increase, remained positive. AreaSearch incorporates ABS and Geoscience Australia demographic forecasts for individual SA2 districts published in 2024, utilizing 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 locations missing from this dataset, as well as all projections past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government SA2 projections published in 2023 and grounded in 2021 records are applied. Because these state-level models do not provide age-specific cohorts, AreaSearch distributes growth across age brackets using proportional allocations derived from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections, which use 2022 as a base. Forward-looking demographic assessments indicate substantial population gains within the top tier of national regional areas, with the suburb of Yeppoon projected to expand by 2,110 persons by 2041 using aggregated SA2 data, representing an overall increase of 28.2% across the 16 years.

Detail

Property demand remains strong and supports local valuations, with an average increase of 2.7 new residents for each dwelling completed over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25). New residential builds carry an average expected construction cost of $496,000, which is slightly higher than the regional benchmark and points to a focus on premium projects.

Additionally, commercial development approvals total $1.2 million for the current financial year, indicating that activity is overwhelmingly concentrated in the residential sector. Relative to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Yeppoon registers comparable per-capita residential construction rates, which helps maintain a balanced market in line with the broader region, although building activity has scaled up of late. This rate of construction falls below the national benchmark, reflecting a mature local market and indicating potential regulatory or planning constraints. The mix of new housing projects is composed of 86.0% detached homes and 14.0% semi-detached properties or apartments, reinforcing the low-density landscape and catering to purchasers seeking additional space. With a ratio of approximately 184 people for every new dwelling approval, the suburb of Yeppoon displays the hallmark features of a low-density community. Long-term forecasts indicate the suburb of Yeppoon will add 2,087 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch. Should the current pace of construction persist, the supply of new housing may fall short of demographic growth, which could heighten buyer competition and drive more pronounced price appreciation.

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 — 97 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,037 at the 2021 Census → 7,399 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 (SAL33219). 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 Yeppoon 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 Yeppoon 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 Yeppoon 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 (Aug 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.
