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 Jondaryan

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

Jondaryan has an estimated 7,893 residents, up from 7,662 at the 2021 Census — a change of 231 people, or 3.0%. 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

AreaSearch indicates the population of Jondaryan stands at approximately 7,893 by May 2026. This represents an addition of 231 individuals (3.0%) relative to the 2021 Census record of 7,662 people. This shift is calculated utilizing the June 2025 ABS estimated resident population of 7,826 alongside 62 validated new addresses registered after the census. Such a population size yields a density of 3.7 persons per square kilometer, ensuring residents enjoy considerable personal space. The post-census growth rate of 3.0% lags only 2.0 percentage points behind the broader SA4 region (5.0%), demonstrating solid expansion indicators.

Recent population gains were heavily supported by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 55.7% of the total increase. Projections for each SA2 locality compiled by the ABS and Geoscience Australia in 2024, using 2022 as the base year, are utilized by AreaSearch. For SA2 territories omitted from this dataset, as well as all projections past 2032, figures from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and grounded in 2021 data are substituted. Because the state-level projections lack breakdowns by age bracket, AreaSearch distributes age cohort growth proportionally based on the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (derived from 2022 data) for these instances. Anticipating future patterns, the locality is projected to track within the lower quartile of Australian regional growth, gaining 321 persons by 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP statistics, which equates to a 3.2% rise over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Jondaryan

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

78 new dwellings have been approved in Jondaryan over the past five years, an average of 15 a year. That is 2.0 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 10, 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

With an annual average of about 15 new home approvals, Jondaryan has greenlit 78 residential builds over the prior 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 10 approvals have been logged. Given that new residents arrived at a rate of 1.5 per completed dwelling over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand and supply appear closely aligned, ensuring market stability, though this ratio softened to -0.2 people per dwelling over the last 2 financial years to indicate a further balancing of the market. Building ventures carry an average construction value of $266,000, which sits below regional benchmarks to provide buyers with more economical housing choices.

Additionally, commercial building approvals have reached $51.9 million this financial year, pointing to active corporate investment locally. Compared to the rest of Queensland, Jondaryan registers approximately three-quarters of the building activity per person, positioning it within the 25th percentile nationally, which signals fewer options for buyers and reinforces interest in current homes. This rate also falls below the national average, reflecting the locality’s mature character and hinting at possible planning constraints. All recent construction has involved detached dwellings only, maintaining the region’s low density profile and drawing in buyers who prioritize space. The estimated population of 777 people per dwelling approval underscores the area’s tranquil, low intensity development setting. Looking forward, Jondaryan is projected to add 254 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Considering established building trends, the supply of new dwellings is positioned to satisfy demand easily, offering favorable conditions for purchasers and potentially enabling population increases that outpace current expectations.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Jondaryan

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

4,024 residents of Jondaryan are employed, from a labour force of 4,198. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 65.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 4.9% 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

Jondaryan maintains a balanced job market comprising both white-collar and industrial workers, with manufacturing featuring prominently, an unemployment rate of 4.1%, and an annual employment growth estimate of 0.6%. By March 2026, employed residents numbered 4,024, while the local unemployment rate exceeded the Regional Qld rate of 3.9% by 0.2%, and the participation rate remained close to the Regional Qld benchmark of 64.3%. Census details show a modest 14.0% of local workers operated from home, though this figure reflects the influence of pandemic lockdowns. Local workers are primarily engaged in agriculture, forestry & fishing, manufacturing, and health care & social assistance.

The local economy is highly specialized in agriculture, forestry & fishing, employing residents at a rate 4.0 times that of the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for only 11.6% of the workforce, which falls short of the Regional Qld level of 16.1%. Although there are local employment options, a comparison between local job numbers and the residing workforce suggests a significant portion of the population commutes outside the area for work. According to AreaSearch's evaluation of SALM and ABS statistics, the twelve months leading to March 2026 saw a 0.6% rise in employment and a 2.2% expansion of the labor force, which pushed the unemployment rate up by 1.6 percentage points. In comparison, Regional Qld experienced a 0.1% increase in employment, a 0.3% rise in the labor force, and a 0.1 percentage point uptick in unemployment. National employment projections published by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 offer perspective on future labor requirements in Jondaryan. These five and ten-year outlooks have been aligned with local workforce distribution to project future employment trajectories. Nationally, employment is expected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though prospects vary widely by sector. Projecting these industry-specific trends onto the local workforce indicates Jondaryan's employment could grow by 4.9% over five years and 11.3% over ten years, serving as a basic weighted calculation that does not factor in local demographic 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 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 62 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (7,662 at the 2021 Census → 7,893 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 (307021180). 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 Jondaryan 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 Jondaryan 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 Jondaryan 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 (May 2026) 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.
