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 findings from AreaSearch, the population of Jacobs Well - Alberton reaches approximately 5,953 in May 2026. This represents a gain of 1,346 people (29.2%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 4,607 people. This shift is calculated using the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 5,608 combined with 270 validated new addresses registered after the Census. Such a population size results in a density of 38 persons per square kilometer, offering residents substantial personal space. The 29.2% rate of expansion since the 2021 census outpaced the Rest of Qld (9.2%) and the national benchmark, positioning the area as a regional growth leader.
The expansion was driven mostly by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 78.7% of the total population growth in recent times, though natural growth and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS/Geoscience Australia released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are applied by AreaSearch for each SA2. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, or for years beyond 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 (using 2021 data) are used. Because these state-level projections omit age breakdowns, AreaSearch scales growth proportionally across cohorts using the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections based on 2022 data. Future projections suggest remarkable growth, ranking in the top 10 percent of non-capital locations, with the population expected to rise by 2,746 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, indicating a 40.3% rise over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
329 new dwellings have been approved in Jacobs Well - Alberton over the past five years, an average of 65 a year. That places the area in the 91st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 11 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 56 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 98% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments.

Detail
Approximately 65 residential approvals are granted annually in Jacobs Well - Alberton, with a total of 329 dwellings approved over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 75 in the current FY-26 period. Because an average of 3.7 new residents arrived for every built dwelling over the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), demand is outstripping supply, creating upward pressure on pricing and intensifying buyer competition, while new builds average a value of $565,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing high-end premium products. Furthermore, $4.4 million in commercial project approvals have been recorded so far this financial year, highlighting that the locality remains mostly residential.
Relative to Rest of Qld, development in Jacobs Well - Alberton is slightly elevated (47.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year period), preserving buyer choices while underpinning local property values, even though construction pace has slowed recently. This level is far higher than the national average, indicating substantial developer interest in the region. Recent construction projects consist of 98.0% detached dwellings and 2.0% townhouses or apartments, sustaining a low-density character focused on single-family homes that attract buyers wanting space. The area records about 130 people per dwelling approval, showing a growing market. Looking forward, the population of Jacobs Well - Alberton is projected to rise by 2,401 residents by 2041 (starting from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). New construction is keeping a moderate pace with this anticipated growth, though buyers might experience greater competition as the resident count increases.

3,110 residents of Jacobs Well - Alberton are employed, from a labour force of 3,191. Unemployment sits at 2.5%, with participation at 68.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.7% 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 5,367, about 90% 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 labor force in Jacobs Well - Alberton is balanced between white and blue-collar occupations, with the construction industry being exceptionally prominent, an unemployment rate sitting at just 2.5%, and an estimated job growth rate of 3.0% over the prior year. In March 2026, 3,110 local residents were employed, and the unemployment rate was 1.4% below the 3.9% rate seen in Regional Qld, with workforce participation standing at a typical 68.3% compared to 64.3% in Regional Qld. Census records indicate that a moderate 15.1% of the workforce operated from home, though this may have been influenced by COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local workers are construction, manufacturing, and health care & social assistance. Construction exhibits a very high concentration, employing people at 1.9 times the regional average rate. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a minor footprint, accounting for 9.5% of employment compared to 16.1% across the region. Local employment opportunities appear scarce when comparing the number of working residents to the locally based jobs from Census data. Based on AreaSearch's study of SALM and ABS statistics, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 3.0% and the workforce grow by 3.2%, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 0.2 percentage points. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% rise in employment, a 0.3% increase in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point increase in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on prospective demand in Jacobs Well - Alberton. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce distribution to model future patterns. Nationally, employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variations across different sectors. Applying these industry trends to the local employment mix suggests Jacobs Well - Alberton's jobs will grow by 5.7% over five years and 12.1% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted projection for illustration and does not adjust for local 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 — 270 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,607 at the 2021 Census → 5,953 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.
