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 research conducted by AreaSearch, the population residing in Jordan Springs - Llandilo stands at approximately 15,955 as of Aug 2026. This represents an expansion of 2,567 people (19.2%) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 13,388 people. This updated figure is derived from the ABS estimated resident population of 15,589 recorded in June 2025 alongside 288 validated new addresses logged following the Census. Consequently, population density settles at 705 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with broader benchmarks tracked across AreaSearch study areas. Outperforming both the wider state and its encompassing SA4 region (6.3%), the 19.2% rate of expansion positions Jordan Springs - Llandilo as an outstanding growth corridor.
Natural increase served as the primary growth engine by generating roughly 51.2% of recent net additions, complemented by positive contributions across both interstate migration and overseas migration. Projections for each individual SA2 territory utilize ABS/Geoscience Australia datasets published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline, while any areas excluded from that release rely on NSW State Government SA2 modeling issued in 2022 from a 2021 base. Age-stratified growth rates sourced from these series are extended across all territories covering 2032 to 2041. Over the coming years, population gains are anticipated to sit slightly under the median benchmark for national statistical areas, expanding by 1,911 persons to 2041 according to current annual ERP figures, translating to an overall growth rate of 9.7% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
396 new dwellings have been approved in Jordan Springs - Llandilo over the past five years, an average of 79 a year. That places the area in the 73rd percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 5 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 79 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 37% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Over the past 5 financial years, residential building approvals across Jordan Springs - Llandilo reached 396 homes, equating to a yearly average of 79 new dwelling approvals. Across the past 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), an influx averaging 8 new residents per year occurred for each newly constructed home, creating substantial supply deficits that heighten buyer competition and stimulate price gains. Meanwhile, the mean value of newly constructed dwellings sits at $379,000, coming in lower than regional averages and providing relatively attainable options. Commercial planning activity has seen $9.6 million in commercial approvals lodged during this financial year, pointing to steady commercial development.
On a per-person comparison, construction volumes in Jordan Springs - Llandilo track closely with Greater Sydney, reinforcing broader regional trends in market stability. Within upcoming residential projects, detached dwellings account for 37.0% while townhouses or apartments constitute 63.0%. This tilt toward medium and higher-density formats delivers lower-cost entry opportunities favored by first-home buyers, investors, and downsizers. It also signals a pronounced pivot from the established built form (houses currently 91.0%), reflecting a tightening supply of greenfield parcels alongside evolving consumer preferences for diverse, affordable dwelling types. Furthermore, the local ratio of 507 people per dwelling approval underscores a subdued development tempo. Forecasts indicate that Jordan Springs - Llandilo will gain 1,545 residents by 2041 relative to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Provided present building trajectories continue, residential additions are poised to satisfy local buyer demand comfortably, preserving favorable purchasing conditions and potentially facilitating greater demographic expansion than presently projected.

8,759 residents of Jordan Springs - Llandilo are employed, from a labour force of 8,938. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 77.7%. 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 12,439, about 78% 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
A highly qualified labor force characterizes Jordan Springs - Llandilo, accompanied by a modest unemployment rate of 2.0% and strong employment across key service categories. As of March 2026, employed locals number 8,759 residents, while the local jobless rate tracks 2.1% under the 4.1% recorded for Greater Sydney. Labor force engagement is particularly elevated at 77.7%, substantially ahead of the 68.9% benchmark across Greater Sydney. Additionally, Census returns indicated that 33.6% of workers performed their duties from home, an outcome influenced in part by Covid-19 pandemic restrictions. The primary employment drivers for the local workforce include retail trade, construction, and health care & social assistance.
Local specialization is especially prominent in construction, where local representation is 1.3 times the regional standard. Conversely, professional & technical sectors capture only 5.9% of local workers, compared with 11.5% regionally. Comparing the resident employee base against local Census workplace tallies indicates that internal job opportunities remain constrained. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS figures, the period leading up to March 2026 saw the labour force shrink by 3.9% while employment fell by 3.8%, leaving the unemployment rate largely unchanged. Meanwhile, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% rise in both employment and the labour force, accompanied by a slight reduction. Forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia regarding national employment, published in Mar-26, may help clarify anticipated demand trends in Jordan Springs - Llandilo. These projections span five and ten year horizons and have been overlaid with local employment data to gauge likely expansion trajectories. National employment is projected to grow by 6.6% within five years and by 13.7% over ten years, though sectoral growth varies considerably. When these industry-level estimates are applied to the employment composition of Jordan Springs - Llandilo, local employment is anticipated to rise by 6.5% over five years and by 13.4% over ten years. This calculation relies on a basic weighting extrapolation intended for illustrative use and does not incorporate localized population 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 — 288 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (13,388 at the 2021 Census → 15,955 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.
