Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Jackass Flat has an estimated resident count of roughly 2,192, determined through AreaSearch's evaluation of regional ABS releases alongside post-Census address validations. This indicates a 14.9% expansion (adding 285 people) compared to the 2021 Census tally of 1,907 people. The estimate builds upon an earlier resident figure of 2,173 derived from ABS ERP data published in June 2025, combined with 205 validated new addresses logged post-Census. Population density stands at 991 persons per square kilometer, aligning closely with typical benchmarks recorded by AreaSearch.
Outpacing both the broader SA4 region and the local SA3 area (4.4%), the suburb of Jackass Flat has established itself as an area growth leader with its 14.9% increase since the 2021 census. Inbound interstate migration served as the principal catalyst, accounting for roughly 46.0% of recent population additions, while overseas arrivals and natural increase likewise supplied positive contributions. Projections generated by ABS/Geoscience Australia (issued in 2024 using 2022 as baseline data) are applied by AreaSearch across SA2 zones. Where local SA2 figures are absent, 2023 VIC State Government Regional/LGA projections are adapted via weighted aggregation methods from LGA down to SA2 divisions. For the 2032 to 2041 timeframe, cohort-specific growth rates from these models are incorporated across all territories. Looking forward, the suburb of Jackass Flat is positioned within the top 10 percent of non-capital city locations for anticipated expansion, with SA2-level modeling pointing to a 44.0% total surge over the 16 years, adding 984 persons by 2041.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
253 new dwellings have been approved in Jackass Flat over the past five years, an average of 50 a year. That places the area in the 75th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 23 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 58 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 39, broadly in line with 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
Analysis of ABS building approvals by AreaSearch indicates that residential authorizations in Jackass Flat have averaged roughly 50 new homes annually, compiling an estimated 253 homes across the previous 5 financial years. Within FY-25 to date, 39 approvals have been recorded. Across the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, the addition of approximately 1.5 new residents annually per completed dwelling has kept supply aligned with demand, fostering stable market dynamics alongside an average residential construction cost of $411,000. Non-residential building activity has remained subdued, with commercial building permits amounting to $1.4 million during the ongoing financial year.
On a per-person basis, Jackass Flat demonstrates building approval volumes that are 353.0% higher than Rest of Vic., providing purchasers with broader property options despite a recent cooling in overall construction pace. This output stands well above national figures, highlighting sustained developer appetite. New development activity is heavily weighted toward standalone dwellings at 95.0%, with medium and high-density housing representing 5.0%, maintaining the locality's low-density suburban landscape and catering to buyers prioritizing private space. Recording roughly 69 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical traits of an expanding development market. According to forward-looking demographic projections, Jackass Flat is expected to add 965 residents through to 2041 relative to the newest quarterly figures from AreaSearch. Prevailing building rates appear well placed to satisfy residential demand, supporting favorable market conditions for prospective purchasers and creating capacity for expansion beyond anticipated levels.

Eden Academy Eaglehawk Childcare Centre
A childcare project pre-leased to Eden Academy.
1,124 residents of Jackass Flat are employed, from a labour force of 1,193. Unemployment sits at 5.8%, with participation at 74.3%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% 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 1,635, about 75% 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
Jackass Flat boasts a competent labor pool, with key service industries strongly represented, an unemployment rate of 5.8%, and an estimated employment growth of 5.1% over the previous year, according to AreaSearch aggregation of statistical area data. As of March 2026, 1,124 residents are employed while the unemployment rate stands at 2.1% higher than Regional Vic.'s rate of 3.7%, and workforce participation exceeds the standard at 74.3% compared to Regional Vic.'s 61.1%. Census data indicates that only 11.0% of residents work from home, although the lingering effects of Covid-19 lockdowns should be taken into account.
The primary employment fields for local residents include health care & social assistance, manufacturing, and construction. Specialization in health care & social assistance is prominent, capturing an employment share that is 1.4 times the regional proportion. In contrast, agriculture, forestry & fishing accounts for only 1.4% of resident workers compared to 7.5% across the broader region. Given the contrast between Census resident workers and locally situated jobs, the surrounding residential environment offers limited local employment opportunities. According to ABS and SALM figures evaluated by AreaSearch across broader statistical territories, the 12 months leading to March 2026 recorded a 5.1% rise in employed residents alongside a 4.5% expansion in the local labor pool, reducing local unemployment by 0.6 percentage points. Over the equivalent period, Regional Vic. logged a 0.1% contraction in employment and a 0.3% decrease in the workforce, corresponding to a 0.2 percentage point drop. National outlooks published by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide context regarding potential industry trajectories in Jackass Flat. Mapped against the local occupational profile across five- and ten-year horizons, national projections suggest broader gains of 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years. Weighted by local sector concentration, Jackass Flat's profile points toward estimated employment expansion of 6.6% over five years and 14.1% over ten years, representing an illustrative industry-weighted model independent of localized demographic shifts.

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 — 205 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,907 at the 2021 Census → 2,192 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.
