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 investigations by AreaSearch, the population of Jordan Springs - Llandilo stands at approximately 15,608 in May 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,220 individuals (16.6%) from the 13,388 residents counted during the 2021 Census. The calculation relies on the ABS June 2025 estimated resident population of 15,589, supplemented by 185 validated new addresses identified after the Census. Consequently, the local density is 690 persons per square kilometer, a figure that aligns closely with standard results across AreaSearch assessment regions. This 16.6% upward shift since the 2021 census outpaced the broader SA4 region (6.0%) and the state average, positioning the community as a regional expansion leader.
The primary driver of these gains was natural increase, accounting for roughly 51.2% of the growth, although all elements including interstate and overseas migration remained positive. AreaSearch implements the ABS/Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline for local SA2 regions. In instances where these are unavailable, projections from the NSW State Government published in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied instead. The age cohort growth dynamics from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead, the population is set to grow at a pace slightly below the national median, with estimates indicating an addition of 1,941 individuals by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP data, representing a total rise of 12.3% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
476 new dwellings have been approved in Jordan Springs - Llandilo over the past five years, an average of 95 a year. That places the area in the 70th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 6 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 73 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 32% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 34, well below 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
Approvals for new dwellings in Jordan Springs - Llandilo average roughly 95 annually, resulting in 476 residential approvals over the last 5 financial years, with 32 registered so far in FY-26. Because an average of 6.6 additional residents per constructed dwelling have relocated to the area annually between FY-21 and FY-25, the volume of housing supply is falling well short of demand. This imbalance typically intensifies buyer rivalry and drives up prices, despite new dwellings showing an average building cost of $283,000—a level below regional benchmarks that offers more budget-friendly options for buyers.
Additionally, commercial development has progressed at a moderate pace, with $9.6 million in approvals registered during the current financial year. Relative to Greater Sydney, Jordan Springs - Llandilo displays slightly elevated building volumes (18.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), helping to sustain current property valuations while offering options to buyers, even though construction momentum has slowed recently. The mix of recent builds consists of 32.0% standalone houses and 68.0% townhouses or multi-unit dwellings. This shift toward higher-density options offers cheaper entry points and attracts downsizers, real estate investors, and first-time buyers. This marks a clear transition from the historical housing stock (which stands at 91.0% houses), pointing to a reduction in available development sites and reflecting evolving lifestyle demands for varied, affordable housing. The quiet nature of the local construction sector is highlighted by a ratio of 857 people per dwelling approval. According to the latest quarterly estimates from AreaSearch, Jordan Springs - Llandilo is projected to grow by 1,922 residents by 2041. Current build rates suggest the upcoming housing supply will be sufficient to satisfy buyer demand, maintaining supportive buying conditions and potentially paving the way for growth that surpasses the current outlook.

8,759 residents of Jordan Springs - Llandilo are employed, from a labour force of 8,938. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 78.1%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.5% 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 12,071, about 77% 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 workforce in Jordan Springs - Llandilo is characterized by strong qualifications and a solid presence in essential service sectors, coupled with an unemployment rate of only 2.0%. Data from March 2026 indicates 8,759 residents are employed. The local unemployment rate sits 2.1% lower than the Greater Sydney average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is notably high at 78.1%, compared to 69.1% across Greater Sydney. Census responses indicated that a substantial 33.6% of the workforce worked from home, though these figures may reflect the influence of Covid-19 restrictions. The primary employment fields for local workers are health care & social assistance, construction, and retail trade.
The concentration of construction workers is particularly high at 1.3 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, professional & technical services are underrepresented, accounting for just 5.9% of local workers compared to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. A comparison of the Census working population against resident workers suggests local employment opportunities are somewhat restricted. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that in the year ending March 2026, the local workforce contracted by 3.9% and total employment dropped by 3.8%, while unemployment levels held steady. This contrasts with Greater Sydney, which recorded a 1.9% rise in employment and a 1.9% expansion of the labor force, alongside a minor decrease. National occupational forecasts released in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand trends within Jordan Springs - Llandilo. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model future growth. Nationally, employment is expected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with performance varying by sector. Weighting these sectoral forecasts to the local employment distribution suggests job numbers in Jordan Springs - Llandilo could increase by 6.5% over five years and 13.4% over ten years, representing a simple proportional projection that does not incorporate local demographic forecasts.

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 — 185 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (13,388 at the 2021 Census → 15,608 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.
