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.

DemographicsPopulation Growth in Yarriambiack

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Yarriambiack has an estimated 6,250 residents, down from 6,501 at the 2021 Census — a change of 251 people, or 3.9%. The population has thinned by an average 1.0% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. 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 conducted by AreaSearch, the resident count of Yarriambiack stands at approximately 6,250 as of May 2026. This represents a contraction of 251 individuals (3.9%) relative to the 2021 Census count of 6,501. This adjustment is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 6,246 alongside 7 validated new addresses registered since the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 0.90 persons per square kilometer, indicating a low-density environment with significant space per inhabitant. The 3.9% population reduction observed here is within 2.3 percentage points of the broader SA3 region (-1.6%), showing that demographical challenges are consistent across the wider territory.

Overseas migration served as the primary contributor to demographic growth, acting as the singular source of population increases in recent times. For each SA2 locality, AreaSearch employs projections published by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as their starting point. Where this data is unavailable, projections are sourced from the 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA release, adjusted by aggregating LGA growth rates to the SA2 level via a weighted approach. The age cohort growth projections derived from these models are also extended to cover the timeframe from 2032 to 2041. Based on these anticipated demographic trends, the total population is projected to contract, resulting in a reduction of 1,858 persons by 2041 under this framework.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Yarriambiack

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

79 new dwellings have been approved in Yarriambiack over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 2.5 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 13, broadly in line with 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

New residential approvals in Yarriambiack have run at an average of approximately 15 per year, representing 79 total dwellings over the last 5 financial years. In the current FY-26 period, 12 approvals have been logged. Because the population has contracted recently, the supply of new builds has likely satisfied demand, maintaining options for buyers while homes are constructed at an average cost of $305,000. Additionally, commercial development has progressed at a moderate pace, with commercial approvals reaching $19.5 million during this financial year. Compared to the Rest of Vic., Yarriambiack shows a new home approval rate per capita that is roughly three-quarters as high, placing it in the 49th percentile among all locations analysed nationwide, which restricts options for buyers and bolsters demand for existing properties.

This rate also sits below the national norm, illustrating the established nature of the local market and hinting at potential planning barriers. Detached houses account for 77.0% of recent building activity, while multi-unit or attached dwellings make up the remaining 23.0%, preserving the historically low-density profile focused on family living. This represents a notable shift from the historical housing stock (which stands at 96.0% houses), indicating a reduction in available building plots and aligning with changing lifestyle preferences and budget constraints. The ratio of residents to each building approval is roughly 345 people, which highlights the low density of the market. Given that demographic projections suggest either static or contracting numbers, housing demand in Yarriambiack is expected to ease, which will likely benefit prospective purchasers.

Application search is not available in Victoria. AreaSearch holds 12 applications for Yarriambiack, 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.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,792 residents of Yarriambiack are employed, from a labour force of 2,860. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 53.5%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.8% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. 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 economy supports a diverse labor force divided between professional and manual roles, with significant representation in public services, alongside a very low unemployment rate of 2.4%. As of March 2026, employed residents total 2,792, keeping the jobless rate 1.3% below the Regional Vic. average of 3.7%, though participation in the labor force remains low at 53.5% compared to the regional figure of 61.1%. Data from the Census indicates that 14.9% of the working population operated from home, though this figure should be interpreted in the context of pandemic restrictions.

The primary sectors employing local residents are agriculture, forestry & fishing, health care & social assistance, and education & training. The agricultural, forestry, and fishing sector is especially prominent, with local employment concentration reaching 3.8 times the regional benchmark. In contrast, construction workers account for only 5.5% of the workforce, compared to the regional average of 10.4%. A comparison of the count of working residents versus local jobs from the Census indicates that the area offers a constrained volume of local employment. An analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch shows that over a 12-month period, the total workforce shrank by 3.4% and total employment fell by 1.8%, which caused the jobless rate to drop by 1.6 percentage points. This differs from Regional Vic., where employment levels fell by 0.1%, the workforce reduced by 0.3%, and the unemployment rate decreased by 0.2 percentage points. Employment projections released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer additional perspectives on future hiring needs in Yarriambiack. These five and ten-year forecasts have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, but performance varies widely across different industries. Applying these sector-specific forecasts to the local industry mix suggests Yarriambiack's employment could rise by 5.8% over five years and 12.8% over ten years (note that this represents a direct weighting calculation for demonstration purposes and does not account for local population changes).

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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (6,501 at the 2021 Census → 6,250 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 (215011394). 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 Yarriambiack 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 Yarriambiack 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 Yarriambiack 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 (Jul 2025) 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.
