Sales Detail
Jamisontown has an estimated 5,801 residents, up from 5,321 at the 2021 Census — a change of 480 people, or 9.0%. Growth has averaged 1.4% a year over five years. Overseas migration accounts for 51.0% of that increase. That puts 1,465 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
According to ABS population updates for the wider region and new address verifications by AreaSearch following the Census, the suburb of Jamisontown is home to an estimated 5,801 residents as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 480 individuals (9.0%) relative to the 2021 Census, which counted 5,321 people. This shift is calculated from a resident base of 5,793 estimated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release (June 2025) plus 82 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. This population size yields a density of 1,464 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the typical ratio found across national sites analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 9.0% expansion in the suburb of Jamisontown since the 2021 census was faster than the SA4 region (6.0%) and the state, positioning the locality as a regional growth leader. Population gains were mostly propelled by overseas migration, which accounted for roughly 51.0% of the total increase during recent times. ABS and Geoscience Australia projections published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline are utilized by AreaSearch for each SA2 location. For SA2 territories lacking this data, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using a 2021 baseline are applied instead. Age cohort growth rates derived from these sources are also used for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on anticipated demographic developments, expansion in the suburb of Jamisontown is projected to align with the lower quartile of national statistical zones, with the population rising by 244 individuals by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, representing an overall increase of 4.1% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
109 new dwellings have been approved in Jamisontown over the past five years, an average of 21 a year. That places the area in the 71st percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 4 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 26 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 77% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 46, running ahead of 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
AreaSearch evaluations of ABS building approval records adjusted for local statistical zones indicate that Jamisontown averages approximately 21 residential approvals annually, with a total of 109 dwellings authorized over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 43 approvals have been logged. With an average of 3.5 new residents arriving for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, demand is outstripping supply, which generally drives up property values and heightens buyer competition. Meanwhile, new residences are constructed at a mean cost of $259,000, which sits below the regional norm and points to more accessible pricing.
Commercial approvals reached $2.1 million this financial year, highlighting the predominantly residential character of the neighborhood. Jamisontown logs about two-thirds of the per capita rate of new dwelling approvals seen in Greater Sydney, though it ranks in the 73rd percentile of evaluated areas nationwide, with construction gains accelerating recently. Newly approved housing consists of 77.0% detached houses and 23.0% multi-unit developments, preserving the low-density suburban nature of the neighborhood with a focus on family homes offering extra space. With approximately 171 people per building approval, the locality displays typical attributes of a growth zone. Projections indicate Jamisontown will add 236 new residents by 2041 compared to the most recent AreaSearch quarterly figures. Existing development trends suggest the supply of new housing should comfortably accommodate this demand, creating favorable buying conditions and potentially supporting population growth above current forecasts.

3,316 residents of Jamisontown are employed, from a labour force of 3,398. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 70.0%. 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 6,265, about 108% of the resident population, so the area draws in more workers than it sends out. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Jamisontown possesses a qualified labour pool with high representation in essential service sectors and an unemployment rate of only 2.4%, compiled by AreaSearch from statistical area records. In March 2026, 3,316 local residents were employed, while the joblessness rate was 1.7% lower than the 4.1% recorded in Greater Sydney, and workforce participation closely matched the Greater Sydney level of 69.1%. Census records show that a substantial 30.2% of workers operated from home, although this figure reflects the influence of pandemic lockdowns. The primary employment sectors for residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade.
The workforce shows a strong specialization in construction, employing residents at 1.7 times the regional proportion. Conversely, professional & technical services employ only 4.7% of local workers, compared to 11.5% in Greater Sydney. A ratio of 0.7 workers for every resident at the time of the Census points to local job availability that exceeds typical benchmarks. An examination of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions shows that the local labour force contracted by 2.1% over the 12-month period, while total employment fell by 2.1%, keeping unemployment stable. In contrast, Greater Sydney experienced a 1.9% rise in employment, a 1.9% expansion of its labour force, and a minor drop in unemployment. National employment projections from Jobs and Skills Australia dated May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective demand patterns in Jamisontown. These five and ten-year forecasts have been compared to the local workforce structure to model potential changes. Nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though rates vary significantly by sector. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce suggests employment could rise by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, representing a basic weighted extrapolation that does not incorporate 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 — 82 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,321 at the 2021 Census → 5,801 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 (SAL12009). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
