Detail
In the suburb of Jandakot, population levels reach approximately 2,777 as of Aug 2026, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining broader ABS releases with post-Census address validations. This represents a gain of 244 people (9.6%) relative to the 2,533 people documented in the 2021 Census. AreaSearch established this 2,777 resident total after reviewing June 2025 ABS ERP figures alongside 380 validated new addresses identified following the Census. The suburb's density stands at 171 persons per square kilometer, offering generous room per inhabitant as well as capacity for future expansion. With an increase of 9.6% since the 2021 census, the suburb of Jandakot outpaced the 9.5% nationwide benchmark to rank among regional growth leaders.
Net overseas arrivals served as the primary growth catalyst, generating roughly 64.0% of all recent population additions, while interstate arrivals and natural increases also delivered positive contributions. Projections for each SA2 area incorporate 2024 ABS/Geoscience Australia releases anchored on 2022 benchmarks. Where SA2 data is unavailable, or when modeling trajectories past 2032 across all localities, AreaSearch applies age-cohort growth rates drawn from ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (issued in 2023 using 2022 information). Under these demographic projections, the suburb of Jandakot is anticipated to experience population expansion slightly beneath the national statistical median, adding 231 persons to 2041 across aggregated SA2 estimates, which equals an overall rise of 8.3% across the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
47 new dwellings have been approved in Jandakot over the past five years, an average of 9 a year. That places the area in the 65th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 3 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 34 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 100% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 126, 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 statistical area building approvals indicate that roughly 9 new residential dwellings have been authorized each year in Jandakot, summing to approximately 47 homes across the prior 5 financial years. Approvals recorded in FY-25 to date have climbed to 126 approvals. Over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, an average of only 1 new residents arrived annually per newly approved dwelling, demonstrating that construction is keeping abreast of or surpassing demand, creating ample buyer options and accommodating residential expansion beyond baseline predictions. In addition, new residences carry an average expected construction cost of $596,000, underscoring a builder focus on higher-tier, premium properties.
Non-residential construction momentum is also pronounced, with $37.2 million in commercial approvals authorized during the current financial year. Per capita construction activity in Jandakot outstrips Greater Perth by 50.0%, ensuring extensive options for prospective purchasers. This volume stands substantially higher than national norms, evidencing pronounced builder commitment to the district. Furthermore, recent residential building consists entirely of detached houses, preserving the locality's established low-density footprint and emphasizing spacious family dwellings. With roughly 33 people per dwelling approval, the market exhibits positive expansion. Projections indicate that Jandakot will add 231 residents through to 2041 relative to the newest quarterly AreaSearch figures. Current construction activity appears harmoniously aligned with projected requirements, underpinning balanced market conditions devoid of severe pricing strain.

1,693 residents of Jandakot are employed, from a labour force of 1,735. Unemployment sits at 2.4%, with participation at 72.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.3% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 7,512, about 2.7 times 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
Jandakot possesses a highly qualified workforce with substantial representation across critical services sectors, maintaining an unemployment rate of only 2.4% according to AreaSearch's statistical area syntheses. Employed residents totaled 1,693 as of March 2026, while the local jobless rate sits 1.8% beneath the 4.2% rate in Greater Perth. Labor participation stands at a typical 72.8% against 69.9% across Greater Perth. Census records reveal that merely 9.6% of workers worked from home, though pandemic-era restrictions during Covid-19 must be noted. The primary employment sectors for local residents consist of health care & social assistance, education & training, along with retail trade.
Participation is especially pronounced within education & training, where local employment concentration is 1.3 times the regional average. Conversely, accommodation & food remains less prevalent, engaging just 4.6% of local workers compared to 6.8% in Greater Perth. Given that there were 4.0 workers for every resident at the Census, the locality operates as a significant employment center, containing more positions than resident workers and drawing inbound commuters from neighboring districts. An examination of combined SALM and ABS statistical records reveals that over the 12-month period, the local labor pool contracted by 0.2% and total employment fell by 0.6%, producing an increase of 0.4 percentage points in the unemployment rate. In contrast, Greater Perth experienced a 2.0% expansion in employment, a 2.5% rise in the labor pool, and an identical 0.4 percentage points climb in unemployment. National forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in Mar-26 provide additional context regarding future employment prospects in Jandakot. These five- and ten-year projections have been applied across the local workforce structure to gauge potential trajectories. Across Australia, employment is predicted to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with distinct variation across sectors. Applying these industry weightings to local workforce distributions suggests Jandakot employment will increase by 6.3% over five years and 13.3% over ten years (note that this represents an illustrative weighting extrapolation and omits localized demographic 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 — 380 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (2,533 at the 2021 Census → 2,777 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.
