Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

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.

Growth has averaged 1.0% a year over five years. 890 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Density is about 95 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

Yarrawonga has a residency count of approximately 8,956 as of May 2026, according to analysis by AreaSearch. Since the 2021 Census, which documented 8,661 people, the population has expanded by 295 individuals, or 3.4%. This movement is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 8,954 combined with 890 validated new addresses registered after the Census. This population size represents a density of 94 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density and capacity for future development. The 3.4% expansion rate since the 2021 census outpaced both the broader SA3 area and the SA4 region, which grew at 1.0%, positioning Yarrawonga as a regional growth leader.

Interstate migration was the primary driver of this demographic growth, accounting for roughly 85.3% of the total population increase over recent times. Projections from the ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 region. For locations lacking this coverage, figures are derived from the 2023 Victorian State Government Regional/LGA projections, adjusted via weighted aggregation of population expansion from the LGA level down to SA2. Age bracket growth rates from these models are also applied across all regions for the years 2032 to 2041. Future demographic forecasts suggest strong expansion that ranks in the top 10 percent of all non-metropolitan areas in the country, with the locality projected to gain 5,515 individuals by 2041 based on the most recent annual ERP statistics, representing a total increase of 61.5% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Yarrawonga

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

772 new dwellings have been approved in Yarrawonga over the past five years, an average of 154 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 17 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 126 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 97% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 222, 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

Annual approvals for new dwellings in Yarrawonga average roughly 154, amounting to 772 residences over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 204 approvals documented. Given that only 0.6 new residents per year were added for each new residence built over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), the volume of new housing is matching or exceeding demand, providing buyers with diverse options and establishing headroom for growth beyond current projections, while new structures carry an average building cost of $372,000, which is slightly higher than the regional average and points to a focus on quality builds.

Commercial approvals for this financial year stand at $3.3 million, indicating a minor emphasis on commercial projects. Per capita development activity in Yarrawonga is 107.0% higher than in the Rest of Vic., offering purchasers a wider range of options. This figure is also much higher than the national standard, pointing to high confidence among developers in this market. The breakdown of new builds is 97.0% detached homes and 3.0% attached dwellings, which preserves the historically low-density profile of the neighborhood and emphasizes spacious family accommodation. An average of approximately 52 people per approval highlights the low density of the Yarrawonga area. Based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch, Yarrawonga is projected to add 5,512 residents by 2041. Although development is progressing at a reasonable rate relative to this anticipated growth, home buyers might experience heightened competition as the population increases.

Development approvals is a new addition to AreaSearch. We’re actively expanding council coverage and refining the dataset — details and statuses for some councils may be partial. Check back regularly for the latest pipeline.
Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 106 applications for Yarrawonga, but they are a record of past activity rather than a current register. Victoria has no state-wide planning portal and its council coverage is uneven, so we have switched the search off here rather than return partial answers. We are currently investigating a solution. No credits are charged for Victorian applications, and building approvals from the ABS and the major projects we track are unaffected.

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 — 890 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (8,661 at the 2021 Census → 8,956 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 (216021414). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Yarrawonga SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Yarrawonga page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Yarrawonga data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
