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.

Jacka has an estimated 1,707 residents, up from 712 at the 2021 Census — a change of 995 people, or 139.7%. 355 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 68.2% of that increase. That puts 587 residents on each 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
Based on AreaSearch's analysis, Jacka's population is around 1,707 as of Feb 2026. This reflects an increase of 995 people (139.7%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 712 people. The change is inferred from the estimated resident population of 678 from the ABS as of June 2024 and an additional 355 validated new addresses since the Census date. This population level equates to a density ratio of 586 persons per square kilometer, providing significant space per person and potential room for further development. Jacka's 139.7% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the state (6.7%) and the SA4 region, marking it as a growth leader in the region.
Population growth for the area was primarily driven by natural growth, which contributed approximately 68.2% of overall population gains during recent periods. AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, age group growth rates from the ACT Government's SA2 area projections, with 2022 as a base, are adopted. As we examine future population trends, exceptional growth, placing in the top 10 percent of national areas, is predicted over the period, with the area expected to expand by 769 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting a decrease of 15.2% in total over the 17 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
93 new dwellings have been approved in Jacka over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 26.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 270, 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
Jacka has experienced around 18 dwellings receiving development approval each year, totalling 93 homes over the past 5 financial years. So far in FY-26158 approvals have been recorded. Given population has fallen over the past period, development activity has been adequate in relative terms, which is a positive for buyers, while new homes are being built at an average construction cost of $375,000, demonstrating a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties. Compared to the Australian Capital Territory, Jacka has 164.0% more construction activity (per person), which should provide buyers with ample choice.
This is substantially higher than nationally, suggesting strong developer confidence in the location. Further, new construction has been completely comprised of detached dwellings, preserving the area's low density nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers. Interestingly, developers are building more traditional houses than the current mix suggests (44.0% at Census), indicating continued strong demand for family homes despite density pressures. The location has approximately 178 people per dwelling approval, indicating an expanding market. With population projections showing stability or decline, Jacka should see reduced housing demand pressures, benefiting potential buyers.

Housing ACT plans trio of apartment buildings with 57 social housing apartments in a new neighbourhood in Canberra.
416 residents of Jacka are employed, from a labour force of 434. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 83.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 1,516, about 89% 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
Jacka possesses a highly educated workforce, with essential services sectors well represented, an unemployment rate of 4.1%, and relative employment stability over the past year. As of December 2025416 residents are in work, while the unemployment rate is 0.3% above the Australian Capital Territory's rate of 3.8%, and workforce participation is well beyond standard (83.8% compared to the Australian Capital Territory's 72.6%). Based on Census responses, a low 9.5% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered. Leading employment industries among residents comprise public administration & safety, health care & social assistance, and professional & technical.
The area demonstrates a particularly notable concentration in health care & social assistance, with employment levels at 1.4 times the regional average. In contrast, public administration & safety employs just 23.5% of local workers, below the Australian Capital Territory's 30.4%. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of the Census working population versus the resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, over the 12 months to December 2025, labour force levels increased by 0.9% while employment declined by 0.5%, resulting in the unemployment rate rising by 1.4 percentage points. This contrasts with the Australian Capital Territory, where employment rose by 0.9%, the labour force grew by 1.2%, and unemployment rose 0.3 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within Jacka. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to Jacka's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.9% over five years and 14.0% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population projections).

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 2024 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 355 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Feb 2026, not a 2021 count (711 at the 2021 Census → 1,707 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 Feb 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 (801041118). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
