Sales Detail
Jindalee (Qld) has an estimated 5,484 residents, up from 5,320 at the 2021 Census — a change of 164 people, or 3.1%. That puts 1,973 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
Based on demographic evaluations from official updates across the surrounding district, combined with address registers verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the resident population for the suburb of Jindalee (Qld) is estimated to be approximately 5,484 as of May 2026. This represents an addition of 164 people (3.1%) since the 2021 Census, which recorded 5,320 residents. The change is calculated from the estimated population of 5,484, derived by AreaSearch from the ABS June 2025 release of local resident figures and subsequent address verification since the Census. This count corresponds to a density of 1,972 persons per square kilometer, which exceeds the typical average across national locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The 3.1% population growth in the suburb of Jindalee (Qld) since the 2021 census was higher than the 3.0% recorded in the wider SA3 area, positioning it as a local growth leader. The primary driver of this population growth was overseas migration, which accounted for approximately 79.0% of the overall population gains in recent times. Projections developed by the ABS and Geoscience Australia for individual SA2 zones are utilized, published in 2024 using 2022 as the baseline year. For any SA2 regions without this coverage, or for periods past 2032, projections from the Queensland State Government released in 2023 and based on 2021 figures are implemented. Because these state-level projections lack age breakdown details, AreaSearch distributes growth using proportional age cohort weightings from the 2023 ABS Greater Capital Region projections (based on 2022 data). When looking at future population trends in the suburb of Jindalee (Qld), this method forecasts a population decline of 488 persons by 2041. In contrast, specific age brackets are expected to expand, particularly the cohort aged 85 and over, which is projected to increase by 117 people. See the age section for more details.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
Detail
According to analysis of ABS residential building approvals mapped to local areas, Jindalee averages roughly 3 new residential properties approved annually, culminating in 19 total homes over the previous 5 financial years. Thus far during FY-26, 90 approvals have been documented. An average of 2.6 people moved to the neighborhood for every new house built between FY-21 and FY-25, highlighting healthy demand that bolsters local property values. These new dwellings carry an average construction cost of $675,000, indicating that developers are focusing on the upscale market with premium homes. Additionally, commercial development has seen minor activity, with $5.9 million in commercial approvals registered so far this financial year.
In comparison to Greater Brisbane, Jindalee has roughly three-quarters the volume of new home approvals per capita, placing it in the 9th percentile of all analyzed locations nationwide, which indicates restricted options for buyers and sustains demand for existing properties. This construction rate is also below the national benchmark, highlighting the mature character of the suburb and pointing to possible planning constraints. Furthermore, recent residential approvals have consisted entirely of detached houses, maintaining the suburban profile of the area and appealing to buyers seeking standalone properties. With approximately 2185 people per approval, the statistics reflect a highly mature and established residential pocket. Given that population forecasts are projected to remain steady or decrease, Jindalee may experience reduced demand for new housing, creating more favorable purchasing options for buyers.

Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.9% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.
Detail
Jindalee has a highly qualified labor force, particularly in professional service sectors, and has an unemployment rate of only 4.0%, according to statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 2,866 employed residents. The local unemployment rate is 0.3% lower than the Greater Brisbane rate of 4.3%, while the workforce participation rate of 67.2% is slightly lower than the Greater Brisbane average of 70.4%. Census records show that a significant 25.3% of the working population worked from home, though this figure may reflect the influence of Covid-19 health restrictions.
The primary employment sectors for local residents are health care & social assistance, education & training, and professional & technical. The locality exhibits a strong concentration in education & training, where the employment share is 1.4 times the regional proportion. On the other hand, transport, postal & warehousing is less represented at 3.6% compared to the regional benchmark of 5.6%. While local jobs exist within the area, comparison between the Census working population and local residents suggests a significant portion of the workforce travels to other districts for work. According to AreaSearch evaluations of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from regional data, the 12 months ending March 2026 saw the labor force shrink by 2.6% and total employment fall by 3.4%, causing the unemployment rate to rise by 0.8 percentage points. For comparison, Greater Brisbane saw employment grow by 3.2% and the labor force expand by 3.4%, with its unemployment rate rising by 0.1 percentage points. National employment forecasts released by Jobs and Skills Australia in May-25 provide additional context regarding future demand trends. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Nationally, employment is predicted to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, though individual sectors will experience different trajectories. Extrapolating these national industry trends to the local employment mix suggests Jindalee's employment could increase by 6.9% over five years and 14.1% over ten years (this represents a basic weighted projection for illustrative purposes and does not incorporate 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. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (5,320 at the 2021 Census → 5,484 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.
