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 10,865 residents, up from 10,822 at the 2021 Census. 460 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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the resident population of Benalla stands at approximately 10,865 as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 10,822 individuals recorded in the 2021 Census, this indicates an expansion of 43 people (0.4%). This demographic shift is derived from the ABS estimated resident population figure of 10,863 as of June 2025 alongside 460 validated new addresses registered following the Census. With this population base, the local density equates to 34 persons per square kilometer, ensuring spacious living conditions for residents. The 0.4% expansion recorded since census trails the broader SA3 area (1.2%) by only 0.8 percentage points, highlighting sound growth dynamics.
Incoming interstate migration served as the primary contributor to local expansion, accounting for roughly 84.4% of aggregate population additions over recent timeframes. Projections developed by ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year are adopted by AreaSearch across individual SA2 zones. Where local coverage is absent from this series, AreaSearch incorporates VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts published in 2023, utilizing a population growth weighted aggregation approach from LGA to SA2 divisions. Age cohort expansion rates derived from these aggregations are subsequently projected for all localities across the 2032 to 2041 timeframe. Factoring in these demographic shifts, the overall population trajectory is projected to contract by 703 persons by 2041 under this framework. Conversely, positive gains are anticipated within particular demographics, anchored by the 35 to 44 age bracket which is forecast to expand by 182 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
559 new dwellings have been approved in Benalla over the past five years, an average of 111 a year. That places the area in the 72nd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 10 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 111 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 84% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building authorisations in Benalla have maintained an annual pace of roughly 111 properties, accumulating to 559 homes across the past 5 financial years. Throughout this five-year period (between FY-22 and FY-26), an average of merely 0.3 people moved to the community per each newly erected residence, showing that residential development is keeping pace with or outstripping local demand. This pipeline expands choices for purchasers and establishes capacity for demographic expansion beyond baseline forecasts, with newly built residences averaging a construction value of $361,000 in alignment with regional building norms.
In addition, the current financial year has seen $23.4 million in approved commercial works, pointing to steady non-residential development. On a per-capita basis, residential approvals in Benalla exceed the Rest of Vic. benchmark by 59.0%, giving house hunters broader options. The new supply pipeline comprises 84.0% standalone houses and 16.0% apartments or townhouses, preserving the historic low density profile of the locality while prioritising detached family dwellings suited to space-seeking occupants. Overall dwelling creation tracks at roughly 77 people per dwelling approval, underscoring the low density nature of the local market. With demographic forecasts pointing to flat or downward trajectories, demand pressures on the local property sector are likely to ease, fostering advantageous buying conditions in Benalla.

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 local labour market in Benalla features a balanced mix of blue-collar and white-collar roles, underpinned by substantial representation across essential services and a 6.4% rate of unemployment. March 2026 figures show 4,724 employed local residents, alongside an unemployment rate that sits 2.8% above the Regional Vic. mark of 3.7%. Participation in the labour force stands at 54.2%, trailing significantly behind the 61.1% recorded across Regional Vic.. Census returns indicate that only 12.0% of local workers operated from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time must be considered. The primary industry sectors providing employment to local residents are retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance.
The local economy exhibits marked specialization in construction, where its workforce proportion is 1.4 times the regional level. By contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 4.8% of the local workforce, lagging the 7.5% share observed across Regional Vic.. Although local jobs are accessible, comparisons between Census resident employment tallies and local job numbers suggest a substantial outward commuting contingent. SALM and ABS metrics examined by AreaSearch reveal that over the 12 months to March 2026, both the local workforce and employment counts contracted by 2.2%, keeping local unemployment essentially unchanged. In comparison, Regional Vic. saw employment decrease by 0.1% and the labour force reduce by 0.3%, with joblessness declining by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking perspectives on potential workforce demand across Benalla are available via national projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. These five- and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to gauge sector trajectory patterns. Across the nation, overall employment is projected to climb 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though trajectories diverge widely by sector. Calibrating these industry forecasts to the employment distribution of Benalla indicates local job opportunities could increase by 6.2% over five years and 13.1% over ten years (note that this weighting extrapolation is purely illustrative and does not integrate localized demographic trajectories).

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 — 460 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (10,822 at the 2021 Census → 10,865 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.
