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.

Detail
According to demographic evaluations by AreaSearch, the resident count for Healesville - Yarra Glen reaches roughly 14,156 as of Aug 2026. This represents a net addition of 91 people (0.6%) relative to the 2021 Census tally of 14,065 people. Such an adjustment is determined using the ABS estimated resident population of 14,116 recorded as of June 2025 alongside 101 validated new addresses registered post-Census. With these numbers, the locality records a population density of 38 persons per square kilometer, ensuring considerable personal space for inhabitants. Inbound overseas migration was the primary driver of demographic expansion, generating around 75.6% of recent overall population additions.
Projections published by the ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (anchored to 2022 as the base period) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 boundaries, supplemented by the VIC State Government's 2023 Regional/LGA releases using weighted population aggregation where SA2 coverage is absent. Cohort-specific growth rates derived through this method are also mapped across all locations for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, local expansion is forecast to track slightly under the median across national statistical divisions, adding 669 persons to 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, which translates to an aggregate rise of 4.4% across the 16 years.

Detail
Over the preceding 5 financial years, residential building approvals across Healesville - Yarra Glen have reached 180 homes in total, representing an annual mean of roughly 36 new dwelling approvals. Set against declining resident counts in recent times, this pipeline has delivered suitable supply for property seekers, with individual dwellings reflecting an average value of $547,000—a figure above typical regional benchmarks that highlights an emphasis on higher-end construction. In addition, the current financial year has recorded $29.3 million in commercial approvals, underscoring solid activity across non-residential building. Per capita residential building consents in Healesville - Yarra Glen track at roughly three-quarters of the pace observed across Greater Melbourne, situating the precinct in the 30th percentile nationwide and narrowing choices for prospective purchasers while underpinning demand across established stock.
Tracking below national benchmarks as well, this subdued rate underscores the mature character of the area alongside potential urban planning constraints. Standalone houses account for 78.0% of recent construction while medium and high-density housing makes up 22.0%, reinforcing the traditional low-density suburban landscape oriented toward family living and open space. The ratio of 496 people for each building permit reflects a calm, low-intensity construction pipeline. Demographic outlooks anticipate that Healesville - Yarra Glen will add 629 residents through to 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. If residential building activity continues at current rates, incoming housing inventory will readily satisfy localized demand, sustaining favorable market fundamentals for buyers and potentially facilitating expansion beyond baseline projections.

It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 24,700 tonnes per year (equivalent to removing 23,000 cars from the road).The facility received its first commercial food waste delivery in late 2025 and is ramping up operations, with electricity generation expected to begin in early 2026 and full operational capacity reached over the following year. Day-to-day operations are managed by Yarra Valley Water's partner company ReWaste.
7,158 residents of Healesville - Yarra Glen are employed, from a labour force of 7,509. Unemployment sits at 4.7%, with participation at 64.0%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 12,840, about 91% 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
Healesville - Yarra Glen boasts a capable labor pool, with the building industry being especially prominent in terms of representation, an unemployment rate of 4.7%, and 1.3% in estimated employment growth over the past year. As of March 2026, 7,158 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is in line with Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, and workforce participation lags significantly (64.0% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.1%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 23.6% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
Resident employment is primarily centered within construction, health care & social assistance, and manufacturing. The construction sector displays standout prominence, with local worker representation reaching 1.7 times the broader regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 5.3% of the resident workforce, trailing the 10.1% recorded for Greater Melbourne. The balance between local jobs captured in Census data and the resident workforce suggests a constrained internal employment market. According to AreaSearch analysis of ABS and SALM releases across the 12 months to March 2026, local employment grew by 1.3% while the labour pool expanded by 1.9%, elevating the unemployment rate by 0.5 percentage points. In contrast, Greater Melbourne saw employment and workforce participation expand by 2.1% and 2.3% respectively, while its jobless rate lifted by 0.2 percentage points. Forward-looking guidance from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 offers medium-term visibility across five and ten-year horizons when aligned with local industry profiles. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with sectoral outcomes varying widely. Applying these benchmarks to the local workforce composition projects job gains of 5.9% across five years and 12.5% over ten years for Healesville - Yarra Glen (as a simple weighted model for demonstration purposes that excludes localized demographic 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 — 101 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (14,065 at the 2021 Census → 14,156 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (211051276). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
