This analysis uses Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, which can materially differ from Statistical Areas (SA2) even when sharing the same name.
SAL boundaries are defined by Australia Post and the Australian Bureau of Statistics to represent commonly-known suburb names used in postal addresses.
Statistical Areas (SA2) are designed for census data collection and may combine multiple suburbs or use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.
Detail
As of Aug 2026, the suburb of Jensen has a population calculated at approximately 2,347, according to AreaSearch evaluations combining regional ABS data with post-Census address validations. This represents a 30.6% expansion (up by 550 people) relative to the 1,797 residents documented in the 2021 Census. Such growth is supported by an estimated resident population base of 2,321 from the ABS June 2025 ERP release, alongside 218 validated new addresses recorded after the census count. With a population density of 157 persons per square kilometer, the locality offers generous space and scope for future expansion.
Surpassing both its broader SA3 territory and the wider SA4 region (7.2%), the suburb of Jensen's 30.6% increase establishes it as an area pacesetter. Natural increase served as the primary contributor, driving roughly 48.0% of recent population additions, though both overseas and interstate migration generated positive net contributions as well. SA2 projections published by ABS/Geoscience Australia in 2024 (using 2022 as their benchmark) form the core forecasting basis for the suburb of Jensen. Wherever gaps exist or timeframes extend beyond post-2032, AreaSearch integrates Queensland State Government SA2 forecasts from 2023 (anchored to 2021 numbers). Because these state figures do not provide individual age breakdowns, AreaSearch applies cohort weightings derived from the ABS Greater Capital Region forecasts (issued in 2023, based on 2022 metrics). Demographic modeling suggests strong expansion placing the suburb of Jensen in the upper quartile across non-metropolitan Australia, with aggregated SA2-level figures anticipating a 667-person increase through to 2041, culminating in a 27.3% overall gain across the 16-year horizon.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
210 new dwellings have been approved in Jensen over the past five years, an average of 42 a year. That places the area in the 85th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 18 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 40 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 95% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 59, 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
Residential construction data from ABS building approvals, compiled across statistical divisions by AreaSearch, reveals that Jensen averages roughly 42 residential approvals per year. Across the last 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), roughly 210 residential dwellings secured approval, including 59 approved during FY-25 to date. Strong demand is demonstrated by an average intake of 2.9 new residents annually per dwelling across the past 5 financial years (between FY-21 and FY-25), with the typical build carrying an expected construction value of $529,000 to underpin local values. Per capita residential construction in Jensen surpasses Rest of Qld by 357.0%, ensuring extensive options for incoming purchasers and signaling substantial builder confidence compared to national norms.
The local planning footprint prioritizes low-density living, with freestanding houses making up 95.0% of new builds while townhouses and apartments account for 5.0%, catering to buyers prioritizing larger allotments. Registering around 47 people per dwelling approval, the locality displays typical growth-corridor momentum. Demographic projections from the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate indicate that Jensen will gain an additional 641 residents by 2041. Ongoing building volumes appear well matched to handle this incoming demand, sustaining favorable purchasing conditions and potentially paving the way to outpace projected residential targets.

1,186 residents of Jensen are employed, from a labour force of 1,219. Unemployment sits at 2.7%, with participation at 68.6%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.1% 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. 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 local labour pool features a balanced split across professional and technical occupations alongside solid representation in essential services, showing an estimated 1.6% employment expansion over the preceding twelve months and an unemployment rate of just 2.7%. Statistical area figures compiled by AreaSearch indicate that 1,186 residents are employed as of March 2026. Local joblessness sits 1.2% lower than the 3.9% recorded across Regional Qld, while labor participation stands at 68.6%, tracking above the 64.2% regional benchmark. Census records showed only 7.9% of workers working remotely, though pandemic-era circumstances must be kept in mind.
The primary employment sectors among residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training. Construction demonstrates the strongest concentration locally, engaging workers at 1.6 times the Regional Qld benchmark. Conversely, accommodation & food services accounts for only 4.8% of the local workforce relative to 8.3% across the wider region. Comparisons between local workplace counts and resident worker figures indicate that many employed individuals travel outside the immediate area for their jobs. Over the preceding 12 months, ABS and SALM statistical aggregations indicate that Jensen experienced a 1.6% gain in employed persons alongside a 1.9% rise in the labour pool, which increased the jobless rate by 0.3 percentage points. Across Regional Qld over the same interval, employment edged up 0.1%, the workforce expanded 0.3%, and unemployment rose 0.1 percentage points. Long-range industry projections from Jobs and Skills Australia as of Mar-26 provide further context for future workforce requirements. Nationally, overall jobs are projected to rise by 6.6% across five years and 13.7% across ten years, with performance varying widely by sector. When mapped to the local industry distribution, these projections indicate an expected employment growth of 6.1% over five years and 12.8% over ten years for Jensen, serving as an illustrative structural weighting that excludes localized population adjustments.

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 — 218 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for Aug 2026, not a 2021 count (1,797 at the 2021 Census → 2,347 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.
Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (SAL31437). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.
