DemographicsPopulation Growth in Yorkeys Knob

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Yorkeys Knob has an estimated 2,808 residents. That puts 248 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

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census the suburb of Yorkeys Knob has a population estimated at around 2,808 as of May 2026. This reflects an increase of 14 people (0.5%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,794 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,804, estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an additional one validated new addresses since the Census date.

This level of population equates to a density ratio of 247 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration that contributed approximately 75.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including interstate migration and natural growth were positive factors. For each SA2 area, AreaSearch uses demographic projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia published in 2022 with 2022 as the baseline. For any SA2 regions where this data is unavailable, or for periods past 2032, the state government projections for Queensland published in 2023 and based on 2021 records are applied. Because these state-level projections lack breakdowns by age, AreaSearch scales age cohorts proportionally using the ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 and based on 2022 figures. Given these expected demographic transitions, the suburb of Yorkeys Knob is projected to experience population expansion slightly under the midpoint for non-metropolitan regions across Australia, with an estimated addition of 263 residents by 2041 using combined SA2 data, representing an overall increase of 9.2% over the 16 years.

Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.

Detail

According to building approvals data from the ABS mapped by AreaSearch, the suburb of Yorkeys Knob averages approximately 15 residential approvals each year, totaling an estimated 75 residential approvals over the last 5 financial years (from FY-21 to FY-25) and one in the current FY-26 period. Because the population has contracted recently, the volume of new housing has matched demand well, yielding a stable market environment with solid options for buyers. Commercial development approvals reached $59,000 this financial year, underlining that the locality is primarily residential. In comparison to the Rest of Qld, the suburb of Yorkeys Knob generates roughly 75% of the per capita building activity, placing it in the 6th percentile of all examined locations in the country, which translates to fewer options for purchasers and sustains demand for established homes.

This orientation toward high-density options provides more accessible price points and appeals to downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. This represents a major shift from the current profile where houses make up 37.0% of the market, driven by a scarcity of buildable lots and evolving preferences for lifestyle and affordability. There are 5623 people per building approval in the area, indicating a very quiet development sector. Looking forward, the suburb of Yorkeys Knob is projected to add 259 residents by 2041 based on the most recent quarterly projections from AreaSearch.

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 — 1 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,794 at the 2021 Census → 2,808 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 (SAL33223). 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 Yorkeys Knob 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 Yorkeys Knob 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 Yorkeys Knob 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 Jul 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.
