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
Yackandandah has an estimated 5,500 residents, up from 5,221 at the 2021 Census — a change of 279 people, or 5.3%. Growth has averaged 1.7% a year over five years. 113 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Interstate and internal migration accounts for 57.3% of that increase. Fewer than ten people live on each square kilometre, across a boundary that takes in surrounding rural land. 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 by AreaSearch, the resident count for Yackandandah stands at roughly 5,500 as of Aug 2026. This represents an addition of 279 people (5.3%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 5,221 people. This adjustment is based on ABS estimated resident population statistics indicating 5,498 residents as of June 2025 alongside 113 validated new addresses recorded following the Census. With 7.8 persons per square kilometer, the locality enjoys a spacious living environment. The local expansion rate of 5.3% since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA3 area (2.7%) and the wider SA4 region, positioning the locality at the forefront of regional expansion.
Net interstate arrivals served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 57.3% of total demographic additions in recent times, with positive gains also recorded across overseas migration and natural increase. AreaSearch is employing projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia for every SA2 area that were published in 2024 and use 2022 as the baseline year. When SA2 areas fall outside the scope of those figures, the organization relies on the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections issued in 2023 and applies adjustments through a weighted aggregation technique that moves population growth from LGA up to SA2 levels. Age group growth rates derived from those aggregations are then spread across all regions for the period spanning 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, a major rise in population is projected for the highest quartile of Australia's regional areas, with the area anticipated to grow by 2,023 people by 2041 according to the most recent annual ERP population data, which represents a 36.8% increase over the 16 year span.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
99 new dwellings have been approved in Yackandandah over the past five years, an average of 19 a year. That places the area in the 56th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. 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 Yackandandah have tracked at an annual mean of roughly 19 dwellings, delivering a 5-year aggregate of 99 homes across recent financial years. With an average of 4.5 new residents arriving each year for every home constructed across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), local housing creation is falling markedly behind population influx, creating heightened competition among purchasers and upward pressure on prices. Expected construction costs for new dwellings average $522,000, sitting moderately above surrounding regional benchmarks and reflecting a standard of higher-end residential development.
In addition, $1.4 million in commercial building approvals was recorded during the current financial year, underlining the largely residential profile of the market. On an individual resident basis, Yackandandah generates roughly 61% of the building volume recorded across Rest of Vic. and ranks in the 44th percentile across the country, narrowing available purchasing opportunities and reinforcing demand across the established property market. Furthermore, all recent residential authorisations have comprised detached houses, sustaining a low-density neighborhood character oriented toward buyers pursuing generous land allotments. A ratio of 375 people per residential approval illustrates a calm and restrained construction landscape. According to forward estimates based on recent AreaSearch quarterly reporting, Yackandandah is set to add 2,021 residents through to 2041. If residential construction remains at its prevailing pace, dwelling additions may continue trailing demographic growth, which will likely heighten competition among buyers and provide ongoing support for capital values.

Baranduda Energy Reserve (BESS)
A 400 MW / 1,800 MWh Battery Energy Storage System on a 17-hectare industrial site in Baranduda, around 10 kilometres south-east of Wodonga. The facility will sit directly adjacent to the AusNet Wodonga Terminal Station and connect to the 330 kV transmission network, comprising 496 battery containers, a control building and substation. Once operational it is expected to provide more than four hours of storage duration, supporting grid stability, integrating rooftop solar generation, and helping to manage peak demand across north east Victoria and southern New South Wales.The Victorian Minister for Planning granted a planning permit through the Development Facilitation Program, with construction expected to take around 18 months and create approximately 300 construction jobs and 12 ongoing operational roles.
Leneva-Baranduda Precinct Structure Plan
The Leneva-Baranduda Precinct Structure Plan is the approved planning framework for about 1062 hectares within Wodonga's south-east growth area. The precinct is planned to deliver up to 6037 dwellings for about 15395 residents, with a future town centre, schools, local jobs, open space, conservation areas, drainage, transport and community infrastructure. The PSP was gazetted in April 2019 and remains the statutory framework for development. Implementation is progressing through subdivision and enabling infrastructure, including North East Water's Leneva Valley gravity sewers, which are in detailed design in 2026 with construction programmed from November 2026 to April 2028, and Middle Creek and Baranduda sewer pump station upgrades due for completion in May 2026.

Operational since August 2023, the facility generates enough electricity to power the treatment plant during daylight hours with surplus energy fed back to the grid. The project reduces North East Water's carbon footprint by 6,000 tonnes of CO2 annually and contributes to the corporation's 100% renewable energy achievement.
2,977 residents of Yackandandah are employed, from a labour force of 3,028. Unemployment sits at 1.7%, with participation at 68.7%. 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 4,696, about 85% 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
The local labour market features a highly capable workforce and strong representation across critical community services, accompanied by an unemployment rate of only 1.7%. Total employed persons numbered 2,977 as of March 2026, while the jobless rate sits 2.0% beneath the Regional Vic. benchmark of 3.7%, and labour market participation remains notably elevated at 68.7% compared to 61.1% across Regional Vic.. Census returns showed that 20.4% of working residents carried out their duties from home, though prevailing Covid-19 restrictions at the time of collection warrant consideration. Workforce participation among local residents is heavily weighted toward health care & social assistance, construction, as well as agriculture, forestry & fishing.
Specialisation in agriculture, forestry & fishing is particularly pronounced, registering an employment concentration 1.5 times the regional norm. Conversely, retail trade accounts for only 7.3% of local employment, trailing the 9.9% observed across Regional Vic.. A comparison of Census-based local employment counts against resident worker numbers suggests a comparatively modest volume of workplace opportunities situated directly within the area. An examination of SALM and ABS figures by AreaSearch reveals that during the 12 months to March 2026, the available workforce contracted by 2.2% alongside a 2.3% reduction in filled positions, resulting in a 0.1 percentage points rise in the unemployment rate. Over the identical timeframe across Regional Vic., total jobs decreased by 0.1%, the overall labour pool diminished by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points. Longer-term hiring expectations are highlighted by national forecasts produced by Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26. These five- and ten-year sectoral projections have been correlated with local industry distributions to model prospective workforce shifts. Across Australia, total employment is anticipated to climb by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though industry trajectories vary widely. Calibrating these national industry trends against Yackandandah's employment profile indicates anticipated local workforce growth of 5.9% across five years and 12.7% across ten years (this represents a baseline weighted extrapolation provided for context without factoring in localized population trends).

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 — 113 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (5,221 at the 2021 Census → 5,500 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.
