The population has thinned by an average 0.9% a year over five years, slower than 99% of areas nationally. That puts 646 residents on each square kilometre.

Detail

According to ABS population updates evaluated for the surrounding region alongside new addresses verified by AreaSearch post-Census, the suburb of Jan Juc is home to approximately 3,933 residents as of May 2026. This represents a decline of 218 residents (5.3%) from the 2021 Census, which documented a population of 4,151 individuals. The shift is calculated from a resident base of 3,895, calculated by AreaSearch using the latest ABS ERP release from June 2025 and 7 newly confirmed addresses since the Census date. This population level translates to a density of 645 persons per square kilometer, indicating low density living and room for prospective growth.

Expansion in the region was mostly fueled by interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 53.0% of all population additions recently, though overseas migration and natural increase also made positive contributions. AreaSearch incorporates projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia for every SA2 region, published in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For SA2 regions lacking this coverage, AreaSearch employs Victorian State Government Regional and LGA forecasts from 2023, adjusted through a process of weighted aggregation of growth metrics from LGA to SA2 tiers. Age cohort growth rates derived from these aggregations are also projected forward for the period from 2032 to 2041. Future demographic projections suggest substantial growth in the highest quartile of non-metropolitan locations across Australia, with the local area projected to increase by 1,104 residents by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, representing a total rise of 27.1% over the 16 years.

Residential SupplyHousing Development & Building Approvals in Jan Juc

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

50 new dwellings have been approved in Jan Juc over the past five years, an average of 10 a year. That is 2.4 approvals per 1,000 residents. Few approvals have been recorded in the most recent months, well below the longer-run average; the latest ABS periods are still being reported. 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 approvals assigned from statistical data indicate that the suburb of Jan Juc averages approximately 10 new home approvals annually, with an estimated total of 50 homes approved over the preceding 5 financial years. For the current FY-26 period, no approvals have been registered. Given the shrinking local population, the supply of housing has remained sufficient to meet local demand, yielding a balanced market with diverse options for purchasers. Furthermore, commercial approvals worth $5.8 million have been logged in the current financial year, showing a modest emphasis on commercial construction.

Relative to the Rest of Vic., the suburb of Jan Juc experiences minimal building activity, tracking 86.0% below the regional per capita norm. This limited output of new residences tends to bolster demand and values for pre-existing homes. This level is also below the nationwide average, illustrating the mature state of the local market and pointing to prospective planning barriers. Recent building projects consist of 83.0% standalone houses and 17.0% semi-detached or attached options, preserving the classic low density layout of the suburb and prioritizing spacious family residences. A ratio of 3953 people for each dwelling approval highlights the quiet nature of construction in the area. Looking forward, the suburb of Jan Juc is projected to add 1,066 residents by 2041, based on the latest quarterly calculations from AreaSearch. Should construction continue at its present pace, the supply of new dwellings might fall short of population gains, which could intensify buyer rivalry and underpin stronger appreciation in property values.

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 — 7 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (4,151 at the 2021 Census → 3,933 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 (SAL21254). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

How do Jan Juc suburb boundaries differ from Statistical Areas?
This page uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries (suburb-style geography). SAL represents commonly-known suburb names used in addresses, while Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census/statistical reporting. Even when sharing the same name, SAL and SA2 boundaries often cover different geographic areas with different populations.
Where does the data on this Jan Juc 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 Jan Juc 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 (Aug 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.
