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.

Sales Detail
Jondaryan has an estimated 7,898 residents, up from 7,662 at the 2021 Census — a change of 236 people, or 3.1%. 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
As of Aug 2026, AreaSearch estimates that Jondaryan accommodates approximately 7,898 residents. Compared to the 7,662 people recorded at the 2021 Census, this represents an addition of 236 people (3.1%). This expansion is deduced from an ABS estimated resident population of 7,826 as of June 2025 alongside 68 validated new addresses registered since the Census date. With a density of 3.7 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers extensive room per resident. The post-census increase of 3.1% in Jondaryan trails the SA4 region (5.0%) by only 1.9 percentage points, highlighting sound demographic momentum.
Recent gains were largely supported by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 55.7% of total net additions. Projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline by ABS/Geoscience Australia are utilized by AreaSearch across SA2 locations. For uncovered territories and timeframes beyond 2032, AreaSearch incorporates Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts issued in 2023 from 2021 figures. Because these state figures omit age cohort breakdowns, AreaSearch aligns age brackets using proportional weightings derived from ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (published in 2023 from 2022 statistics). Given these demographic trajectories, non-metropolitan lower quartile expansion is forecast, with the locality projected to add 301 persons by 2041 according to recent annual ERP data, translating to a total rise of 2.9% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
69 new dwellings have been approved in Jondaryan over the past five years, an average of 13 a year. That is 1.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this SA2 boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Residential building consents in Jondaryan have averaged roughly 13 dwellings annually, accumulating to 69 homes across the preceding 5 financial years. Market equilibrium has remained steady with an average of 1.7 new residents per year per dwelling constructed across the last 5 financial years (between FY-22 and FY-26), shifting downward to -0.3 people per dwelling across the latest 2 financial years to reflect well-aligned supply dynamics. Average residential construction costs stand at $381,000, sitting beneath regional benchmarks to deliver more affordable options. Furthermore, commercial approvals have reached $51.9 million this financial year, underscoring substantial enterprise investment.
When compared against Rest of Qld, per capita construction in Jondaryan reaches approximately 61%, placing the district in the 15th percentile across the country and limiting new inventory, which sustains demand for existing properties. Construction output also sits below national norms, highlighting the mature nature of the market and possible planning constraints. Contemporary development is comprised entirely of separate houses, preserving the locality's low-density profile centered on spacious family living. An estimated ratio of 915 people in the area per dwelling approval highlights this modest pace of structural development. Future projections indicate Jondaryan will expand by 229 residents leading up to 2041 based on the most recent AreaSearch quarterly release. Existing building volumes appear positioned to satisfy residential requirements comfortably, offering positive buyer conditions and potentially supporting expansion above current baseline expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions - Infrastructure
Wellcamp Aerospace and Defence Precinct
Wagner Corporation is developing a 430-hectare master-planned aerospace and defence precinct at Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport. Officially launched in May 2025, the precinct is anchored by Boeing Australia's 9,000 square metre production facility for the MQ-28 Ghost Bat. In December 2025, the Australian Government committed an additional A$1.4 billion to the program, signing contracts for six Block 2 operational aircraft and a Block 3 prototype to be manufactured at the facility.
Wellcamp Entertainment Precinct
The Wellcamp Entertainment Precinct is a world-class tourism and motorsport destination featuring the Will Power Centre for Motorsport and Driver Training Excellence. The masterplan includes an international-standard racing circuit designed for IndyCar and Supercars, a 40,000-seat amphitheatre for major music festivals, and high-performance training facilities. The project aims to serve as a key venue and training hub for the Brisbane 2032 Olympics, bolstered by on-site accommodation for 5,000 people and integrated transport links via the adjacent Wellcamp Airport.
Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport Expansion
Expansion of the Toowoomba Wellcamp Airport, including the passenger terminal, a new Boeing facility, and an aircraft recycling facility.

Development approval was granted by Toowoomba Regional Council.
4,024 residents of Jondaryan are employed, from a labour force of 4,198. Unemployment sits at 4.1%, with participation at 65.9%. 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
The local labour pool in Jondaryan exhibits an even distribution between blue-collar and white-collar roles, supported by notable industrial and manufacturing activities, a 4.1% jobless rate, and 0.6% estimated job expansion over the previous year. By March 2026, employed residents reached 4,024, alongside an unemployment rate that sits 0.2% above the 3.9% recorded in Regional Qld, while labor participation mirrors the 64.2% benchmark in Regional Qld. Census records also indicate that 14.0% of the workforce operated from home, a metric influenced by Covid-19 lockdown measures. Local jobs are predominantly situated within agriculture, forestry & fishing, manufacturing, and health care & social assistance.
Specialization is especially pronounced in agriculture, forestry & fishing, where the concentration is 4.0 times the regional benchmark. Conversely, health care & social assistance accounts for 11.6% of employment, falling below the 16.1% seen regionally. Although local positions exist, comparisons between Census employment numbers and resident headcounts indicate that significant numbers of workers travel outside the district for work. Evaluating ABS and SALM metrics over the year ending March 2026, AreaSearch finds employment climbed 0.6% while the total workforce grew 2.2%, causing the jobless rate to climb by 1.6 percentage points. Over the same span across Regional Qld, employment grew 0.1%, the labor pool increased 0.3%, and joblessness rose 0.1 percentage points. For forward-looking guidance, Jobs and Skills Australia national projections from Mar-26 across five- and ten-year intervals have been mapped to local industry structures. Nationally, job growth is projected at 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, varying substantially by sector. Weighting these sectoral trajectories against Jondaryan's industrial makeup suggests job gains of 4.9% across five years and 11.3% across ten years (representing an illustrative extrapolation without local demographic adjustments).

Detail
Tax statistics aggregated by AreaSearch from the ATO for financial year 2023 place earnings in the Jondaryan SA2 below national figures. Taxpayers in the Jondaryan SA2 recorded a median earnings level of $49,977 and an average of $55,192, whereas Regional Qld recorded $53,146 and $66,593. Accounting for an 11.36% increase in the Wage Price Index since financial year 2023, updated estimates as of March 2026 stand at roughly $55,654 for median and $61,462 for mean earnings. Census evaluations place individual, family, and household earnings between the 24th and 30th percentiles.
A cohort of 2,535 persons, or 32.1% of residents, falls in the $1,500 - 2,999 bracket, closely mirroring the regional proportion of 31.7%. Even though households preserve 87.4% of income after accommodation outlays, overall disposable funds sit at the 29th percentile across Australia.

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 — 68 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (7,662 at the 2021 Census → 7,898 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.
