This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.
SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).
Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Sales Detail
Benalla has an estimated 10,864 residents, up from 10,822 at the 2021 Census. 457 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Density is about 35 people per 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
According to the analysis by AreaSearch, the population of Benalla is approximately 10,864 in May 2026. This represents a growth of 42 people (0.4%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 10,822 residents. The estimate is calculated from the ABS estimated resident population of 10,862 in June 2025 and 457 validated new addresses registered since the Census. This population level corresponds to a density of 34 persons per square kilometer, offering residents significant space. The 0.4% post-census growth of Benalla is within 0.7 percentage points of the wider SA3 region (1.1%), indicating competitive underlying growth dynamics.
The expansion of the local population was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 84.4% of total population increases recently. For each SA2 region, AreaSearch adopts the 2024 projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia, using 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 localities not covered by these datasets, AreaSearch applies the Regional/LGA projections released by the VIC State Government in 2023, utilizing a weighted aggregation method of population growth from LGA to SA2 tiers. The age-group growth rates from these calculations are also projected across all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Evaluating upcoming demographic shifts, these methodologies forecast an overall population decline, with the community expected to contract by 667 persons by 2041. In contrast, expansion is anticipated within specific age cohorts, particularly the 35 to 44 age bracket, which is projected to grow by 193 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
437 new dwellings have been approved in Benalla over the past five years, an average of 87 a year. That places the area in the 64th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 8 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 69 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 93% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 174, running ahead of that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Approvals for residential properties in Benalla average approximately 87 annually, with 437 dwellings approved during the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 160 during FY-26 so far. With an average of just 0.4 new residents per year per finished dwelling over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the new housing supply is meeting or exceeding demand, providing buyers with many options and creating capacity for population growth above current projections, while new properties are built at an average value of $282,000. Furthermore, $23.4 million in commercial building approvals have been logged in the current financial year, pointing to steady commercial development.
Compared to Rest of Vic., Benalla exhibits slightly higher development levels (30.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), balancing consumer choice with the preservation of existing property values. The new construction consists of 93.0% detached houses and 7.0% townhouses or apartments, which preserves the traditional low-density profile of the area with a focus on spacious family residences. The municipality registers about 138 people per dwelling approval, which reflects a low-density housing market. With population projections remaining stable or declining, Benalla could face reduced housing pressure, creating advantageous conditions for property buyers.

One of the 66kV powerlines running out of the substation supplies more than 12,500 customers across the Benalla Rural City and Mansfield Shire areas, including Mansfield, Bonnie Doon, Jamieson, Merrijig, Mount Buller and Woods Point.The critical asset switchover from old to new equipment was carried out during a single planned full-day outage on Sunday 4 May 2025, scheduled on a weekend and ahead of the alpine snow season to limit disruption to schools, commercial and industrial customers and regional tourism. AusNet used the same outage window to complete more than 70 parallel maintenance jobs across the two shires, including power pole and fuse replacements, reducing the need for future outages. Remaining substation works were programmed for completion in March 2026, and the project has since been retired from AusNet's active project register.
4,724 residents of Benalla are employed, from a labour force of 5,049. Unemployment sits at 6.4%, with participation at 54.2%. 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. 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 labor force of Benalla is balanced between white-collar and blue-collar roles, with a strong presence in essential services sectors and an unemployment rate of 6.4%. In March 2026, 4,724 residents are employed, while the local unemployment rate is 2.8% above the 3.7% rate of Regional Vic. Additionally, workforce participation is notably lower (54.2% versus 61.1% in Regional Vic.). Census data indicates that a low 12.0% of residents worked from home, though the influence of Covid-19 restrictions should be kept in mind. The primary sectors of employment for local residents are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The region shows a specific concentration in construction, where the employment share is 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 4.8% of the local workforce, which is lower than the 7.5% found in Regional Vic. While local jobs are available, the comparison of the Census working population against the local population suggests that many residents travel outside the area to work. Based on AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the labor force fell by 2.2% and total employment dropped by 2.2% over the 12 months to March 2026, keeping the overall level of unemployment steady. By comparison, Regional Vic. saw a 0.1% decrease in employment, a 0.3% drop in the labor force, and a 0.2 percentage point decline in unemployment. National employment forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context on future demand in Benalla. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local industry mix to estimate growth trends. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but growth patterns vary widely across industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the employment profile of Benalla suggests local employment could grow by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes and does not incorporate local population 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 — 457 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (10,822 at the 2021 Census → 10,864 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.
