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.

Detail
Analysis of ABS demographic updates and fresh addresses verified by AreaSearch indicates that the suburb of Jindabyne has a residency count of approximately 3,381 as of May 2026. This represents a gain of 395 individuals (13.2%) compared to the 2,986 people documented in the 2021 Census. This growth is calculated from a base population of 3,354 estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, combined with an additional 78 validated new addresses recorded since the Census. The resulting population density stands at 29 persons per square kilometer, offering residents substantial space.
The suburb of Jindabyne outpaced the broader SA3 territory (3.5%) and the wider SA4 region, establishing itself as a regional pacesetter. Overseas migration was the primary driver of this demographic expansion, accounting for roughly 55.00000000000001% of the total population growth, with interstate relocation and natural increase also contributing positively. Demographic projections utilize ABS and Geoscience Australia models released in 2024 with a 2022 baseline. For areas where this data is unavailable, NSW State Government projections from 2022 with a 2021 baseline are implemented. Age cohort growth trends from these sources are extended to cover the period from 2032 to 2041. Based on these projections, the suburb of Jindabyne is expected to see substantial expansion, ranking in the top national quartile for non-metropolitan growth, with an estimated addition of 1,003 residents by 2041, representing a total increase of 28.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
124 new dwellings have been approved in Jindabyne over the past five years, an average of 24 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 28 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 57% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 17, well below 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
ABS building approval statistics compiled by AreaSearch indicate that the suburb of Jindabyne averages about 24 new residential approvals annually. This includes 124 residential approvals over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, and 16 approvals registered so far in FY-26. With an average of 3.7 new residents for each completed dwelling during the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, demand continues to outstrip supply, creating upward pressure on prices and heightening buyer competition. The average value of these new builds is $633,000, indicating that developers are focusing on higher-end, premium properties.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $7.8 million have been logged in the current financial year, highlighting the primarily residential makeup of the area. Compared to the Rest of NSW, the suburb of Jindabyne shows 59.0% more residential construction activity per capita, providing prospective buyers with a broader selection. The mix of new construction consists of 57.0% standalone houses and 43.0% townhouses or multi-unit dwellings, expanding the availability of medium-density choices and providing options across various price points, from traditional family homes to compact, budget-friendly layouts. The ratio of residents to dwelling approvals stands at approximately 158 people per approval, pointing to an expanding market. Long-term forecasts suggest the suburb of Jindabyne will add 976 residents by 2041, relative to the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If building activity remains at its current pace, the supply of housing may fail to keep up with population growth, likely intensifying buyer competition and supporting upward price movements.

2,299 residents of Jindabyne are employed, from a labour force of 2,319. Unemployment sits at 0.8%, with participation at 77.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 5.9% 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 2,426, about 72% 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
The local workforce is highly skilled, with strong representation in the travel and leisure sectors, and a very low unemployment rate of 0.8%, according to statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 2,299 employed residents. The local unemployment rate sits 3.3% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation is exceptionally high at 77.9%, compared to 60.6% across Regional NSW. Census data indicates that a modest 12.6% of the workforce operated from home, though this figure may have been influenced by pandemic-related lockdowns. The primary employment fields for residents are hospitality, creative and performing arts, and training and education.
The hospitality sector is particularly dominant, employing residents at 3.4 times the regional average. Conversely, healthcare and social assistance accounts for only 4.9% of local employment, which is lower than the Regional NSW benchmark of 16.9%. A comparison of the Census working population against the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within the area are relatively constrained. AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics shows that over the 12-month period, the local labor force shrank by 1.4% and the number of employed residents decreased by 1.2%, leading to a 0.2 percentage point drop in the unemployment rate. This trend diverged from Regional NSW, where employment fell by 0.9%, the labor force dropped by 0.4%, and the unemployment rate increased by 0.5 percentage points. National employment forecasts from May-25 compiled by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context on potential future demand in the suburb of Jindabyne. These five and ten-year projections have been aligned with the local workforce profile. While nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary widely by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local workforce mix estimates that employment in the suburb of Jindabyne will increase by 5.9% over five years and 12.1% over ten years, representing a basic weighted calculation 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 — 78 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,986 at the 2021 Census → 3,381 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.
