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.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.

Detail

Demographic assessments by AreaSearch indicate that Yarrawonga accommodates approximately 8,956 residents as of Aug 2026. Compared to the 8,661 people recorded in the 2021 Census, this marks an expansion of 295 people (3.4%). This figure incorporates the ABS estimated resident population of 8,954 as of June 2025 alongside 892 validated new addresses identified post-Census. With a density of 94 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers ample space and capacity for additional residential development. Yarrawonga outpaced both its broader SA3 district and the wider SA4 region (1.1%) with its 3.4% post-2021 census increase, positioning it at the forefront of regional growth.

Overall gains were predominantly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 85.3% of net population inflows in recent times. SA2 demographic modeling incorporates 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia projections pegged to a 2022 base year. Where coverage is absent, state-level VIC State Government Regional/LGA forecasts published in 2023 are utilized, applying a weighted aggregation methodology to translate LGA trends down to SA2 zones. These aggregated age-bracket growth trajectories are similarly projected across all regions from 2032 to 2041. Over the 16 years, long-term projections place Yarrawonga among the top 10 percent of regional Australian growth markets, with the local population expected to surge by 5,474 persons to 2041 based on recent annual ERP counts, representing an overall expansion of 61.1%.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Yarrawonga

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

858 new dwellings have been approved in Yarrawonga over the past five years, an average of 171 a year. That places the area in the 80th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 171 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% 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 construction activity in Yarrawonga has averaged approximately 171 dwelling approvals annually, totaling 858 homes across the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26). Because population additions averaged just 0.5 new residents per year per dwelling constructed over the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), residential delivery has comfortably outstripped demand, broadening buyer options and creating capacity for above-trend expansion. The expected construction cost of these new homes averages $445,000. Meanwhile, non-residential building has remained minimal, with $3.3 million in commercial approvals recorded during the current financial year.

On a per capita basis, Yarrawonga outperforms Rest of Vic. with 105.0% higher development activity, vastly exceeding national benchmarks and underscoring sustained developer appetite. The pipeline is heavily weighted toward standalone houses at 95.0%, with townhouses or apartments making up the remaining 5.0%, reinforcing the neighborhood's low-density profile oriented toward family living. A ratio of roughly 46 people per approval further demonstrates the low-density nature of local residential development. Long-range forecasts derived from AreaSearch's latest quarterly figures point to Yarrawonga gaining 5,471 residents by 2041. Although residential construction currently tracks demographic expansion targets, purchasing conditions may become increasingly competitive as local population numbers rise.

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 — 892 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 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 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 (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 (Aug 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 Aug 2026), age profile (to Aug 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.
