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 the analysis conducted by AreaSearch, the population of Yarraville stands at approximately 16,171 as of May 2026. This represents an expansion of 708 people (4.6%) relative to the 2021 Census, when the population was recorded at 15,463 people. This change is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 16,159 combined with 338 validated new addresses registered since the Census. With these figures, the population density reaches 2,877 persons per square kilometer, positioning the area in the top quartile of all Australian locations evaluated. The primary driver of this population growth has been overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 70.4% of the total demographic gains in recent times.
AreaSearch incorporates projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year for each SA2. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, Victoria State Government LGA projections from 2023 are applied via a weighted aggregation method translating growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates across specific age cohorts derived from these aggregations are also projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on these demographic patterns, the locality is set to experience population growth exceeding the national statistical area median, expanding by 2,438 persons by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP data, which represents a total increase of 15.0% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
483 new dwellings have been approved in Yarraville over the past five years, an average of 96 a year. That places the area in the 57th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 82 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 38% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 208, 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
Dwelling approvals in Yarraville have run at an annual average of approximately 96, accumulating to 483 homes over the preceding 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 191 approvals registered. With an average of only 0.2 new residents per new home arriving annually between FY-21 and FY-25, residential supply is keeping pace with or exceeding demand, broadening options for buyers and supporting population expansion above baseline projections. The average construction cost for these new dwellings is $426,000, which is moderately higher than regional averages and points to a focus on high-quality builds.
Furthermore, commercial development approvals have reached $13.8 million during this financial year, pointing to steady commercial building sector activity. Per capita construction activity in Yarraville is roughly half the level observed in Greater Melbourne, placing it in the 69th percentile of all localities evaluated nationwide. The mix of new residential developments consists of 38.0% standalone houses and 62.0% townhouses or apartments. This emphasis on higher-density options offers more budget-friendly entry points to the market, catering to downsizers, investors, and first-time buyers. This trend represents a clear shift from the existing housing stock, which currently stands at 72.0% houses, reflecting a shrinking pool of developable land alongside evolving lifestyle preferences and a need for varied, affordable housing. The area records approximately 222 people per dwelling approval, indicating a lower density market environment. Long-term projections indicate Yarraville will add 2,426 residents by 2041, calculated from the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. The current rate of construction seems well-aligned with future needs, supporting balanced market conditions and preventing major upward pressure on prices.

10,915 residents of Yarraville are employed, from a labour force of 11,181. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 82.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 13,679, 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 workforce is characterized by high levels of education, with notable representation in the technology industry, a low unemployment rate of 2.4%, and an estimated 2.2% job growth over the preceding year. As of March 2026, employed residents number 10,915, while the local unemployment rate of 2.4% is lower than the Greater Melbourne average of 4.8%. Workforce participation stands at an elevated 82.9%, compared to 70.2% across Greater Melbourne. Census data indicates that 49.4% of employed residents worked from home, although this figure should be interpreted alongside the effects of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are professional & technical services, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The area exhibits a high concentration of professional & technical service workers, with employment levels sitting at 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, construction is under-represented, employing 7.1% of local workers compared to 9.7% across Greater Melbourne. Given the ratio of Census working population to local resident workers, this primarily residential suburb offers relatively few local employment opportunities. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that during the 12 months ending March 2026, local employment grew by 2.2% and the labor force expanded by 2.0%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. Over the same timeframe in Greater Melbourne, employment rose by 2.1%, the labor force grew by 2.3%, and the unemployment rate increased by 0.2 percentage points. Long-term occupational demand can be contextualized via national forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25. These five and ten-year projections have been integrated with the local industry profile to estimate future growth trends. While national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates vary by industry. Applying these sectoral growth rates to the local employment structure suggests Yarraville's workforce demand will increase by 6.8% over five years and 13.9% over ten years, noting this is a weighted extrapolation for illustrative purposes that excludes local population dynamics.

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 — 338 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (15,463 at the 2021 Census → 16,171 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 (213031352). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
