Sales Detail
Jacana has an estimated 2,247 residents, up from 2,187 at the 2021 Census — a change of 60 people, or 2.7%. That puts 2,043 residents on each square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
Determined from evaluation of ABS population updates for the wider region, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the suburb of Jacana has a population calculated at approximately 2,247 as of May 2026. This represents a rise of 60 individuals (2.7%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 2,187 people. The shift is derived from the resident population of 2,230, estimated by AreaSearch following analysis of the most recent ERP data release by the ABS (June 2025) and an extra 63 validated new addresses since the Census date.
This population level translates to a density ratio of 2,042 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the average observed across national areas evaluated by AreaSearch. Population expansion for the locality was mainly propelled by overseas migration which accounted for approximately 77.0% of total population increases during recent times. AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, published in 2024 with 2022 as the anchor year. For any SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch utilizes the VIC State Government's Regional/LGA projections published in 2023 with adjustments implemented using a system of weighted aggregation of population growth from LGA to SA2 levels. Growth rates by age brackets from these aggregations are also applied across all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking ahead with demographic trends, outstanding growth, ranking in the top 10 percent of national statistical areas, is projected over the period with the suburb of Jacana expected to expand by 1,392 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, representing a gain of 61.2% in total over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
131 new dwellings have been approved in Jacana over the past five years, an average of 26 a year. That is 11.8 approvals per 1,000 residents. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 21% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 3, well below that longer-run average. Figures come from ABS building approvals aggregated to this Suburb (SAL) boundary and are updated monthly as the ABS releases them.
Detail
Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers, distributed from statistical area data, the suburb of Jacana has registered approximately 26 new homes approved annually, with an estimated 131 homes approved over the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25) and 3 so far in FY-26. With population declining over recent years, new supply has likely kept pace with demand, presenting good choice to buyers, while new properties are built at an average value of $508,000, showing a developer focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties. Additionally, $19.6 million in commercial development approvals have been recorded this financial year, demonstrating moderate levels of commercial development.
When compared to Greater Melbourne, the suburb of Jacana maintains similar construction rates (per person), supporting market stability in line with regional patterns. This level is significantly above the national average, indicating strong developer interest in the area. New building activity shows 21.0% standalone homes and 79.0% townhouses or apartments. This trend toward denser development provides accessible entry options and appeals to downsizers, investors, and entry-level buyers. This marks a significant departure from existing housing patterns (currently 82.0% houses), suggesting diminishing developable land availability and responding to evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. With around 99 people per dwelling approval, the suburb of Jacana shows characteristics of a low density area. Future projections show the suburb of Jacana adding 1,375 residents by 2041 (from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate). At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.

1,083 residents of Jacana are employed, from a labour force of 1,168. Unemployment sits at 7.3%, with participation at 60.7%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 1,866, about 83% 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 suburb of Jacana has a well-educated workforce, with manufacturing and industrial sectors strongly represented, an unemployment rate of 7.3%, and 2.3% in estimated employment growth over the past year, based on AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,083 residents are in work while the unemployment rate is 2.5% above Greater Melbourne's rate of 4.8%, and workforce participation lags significantly (60.7% compared to Greater Melbourne's 70.2%). Based on Census responses, a moderate 16.5% of residents were found to work from home, though Covid-19 lockdown impacts should be considered.
The key industries of employment among residents are health care & social assistance, transport, postal & warehousing, and construction. The area has particular employment specialization in transport, postal & warehousing, with an employment share of 2.3 times the regional level. On the other hand, professional & technical is under-represented, with only 6.1% of the suburb of Jacana's workforce compared to 10.1% in Greater Melbourne. The predominantly residential area appears to offer limited employment opportunities locally, as indicated by the count of Census working population vs resident population. Based on AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS data, aggregated from broader statistical areas, over the 12 months to March 2026, employment increased by 2.3% while labour force decreased by 0.8%, causing the unemployment rate to fall by 2.8 percentage points. By comparison, Greater Melbourne recorded employment growth of 2.1%, labour force growth of 2.3%, with unemployment rising 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from May-25 can offer further insight into potential future demand within the suburb of Jacana. These projections, covering five and ten-year periods, have been mapped against the local employment profile to estimate growth patterns. While national employment is forecast to expand by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, growth rates differ significantly between industry sectors. Applying these industry-specific projections to the suburb of Jacana's employment mix suggests local employment should increase by 6.2% over five years and 13.0% over ten years (please note this is a simple weighting extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not take into account localised population 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 — 63 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,187 at the 2021 Census → 2,247 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 (SAL21248). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
