Detail
Based on analysis of ABS demographic updates for the wider region and address updates validated by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Jindera is estimated at approximately 2,887 as of May 2026. This indicates a growth of 166 individuals (6.1%) from the 2021 Census, which recorded 2,721 residents. The change is calculated from the resident population of 2,845, estimated by AreaSearch using the ABS June 2025 ERP release, with an additional 70 validated new addresses added since the Census. This population level translates to a density of 20 residents per square kilometer, ensuring plenty of space for each inhabitant.
The 6.1% growth rate in the suburb of Jindera since the 2021 census was higher than the Rest of NSW (4.9%), positioning it as a regional growth leader. The primary contributor to these gains was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 73.0% of the population increase, although natural growth and overseas migration also made positive contributions. Projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia, published in 2024 using 2022 as a baseline, are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2. For SA2 regions lacking this data, projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 using 2021 as a baseline are utilized. Age group growth rates from these datasets are applied to the 2032 to 2041 period. Demographic forecasts suggest population growth exceeding the median for national non-metropolitan zones, with the suburb of Jindera expected to add 587 residents by 2041 based on aggregated SA2 projections, representing an overall expansion of 18.9% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
90 new dwellings have been approved in Jindera over the past five years, an average of 18 a year. That is 6.7 approvals per 1,000 residents. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 16, broadly in line with 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 analysis of ABS building approvals shows that Jindera averaged approximately 18 new residential approvals annually, accumulating to an estimated 90 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 15 approvals have been registered. An average of 2.6 new residents moved to the locality for each constructed dwelling over the 5 financial years between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating solid demand that supports property values. The average expected construction cost for new homes is $596,000, suggesting that developers are focusing on the higher-end, premium residential market. Commercial approvals have reached $3.0 million this financial year, emphasizing that the locality remains predominantly residential.
Jindera maintains comparable per capita development levels to the Rest of NSW, sustaining market balance in line with adjacent areas. Additionally, recent construction activity consists entirely of separate houses, preserving the established low-density layout dominated by family residences suited for those desiring space. The average of 353 residents per single dwelling approval highlights a tranquil development landscape with low overall activity. Looking forward, the population is projected to increase by 545 residents through to 2041 based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Considering ongoing construction trends, the supply of new housing is expected to easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buyer conditions and potentially enabling growth to outpace current forecasts.

1,537 residents of Jindera are employed, from a labour force of 1,593. Unemployment sits at 3.5%, with participation at 74.2%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.0% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth. The working-day population is estimated at 2,159, about 75% 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 a strong representation in essential services, and the unemployment rate is exceptionally low at 3.5%, according to aggregated statistical area data from AreaSearch. In March 2026, there were 1,537 employed residents, with the unemployment rate sitting 0.6% below the Regional NSW average of 4.1%, while workforce participation reached 74.2%, well above the regional benchmark of 60.6%. Census records indicate that a minor 10.3% of the workforce worked from home, though this figure may have been influenced by COVID-19 restrictions. Resident employment is primarily clustered in construction, health care & social assistance, and education & training.
The construction sector shows a particularly high concentration, employing workers at 1.4 times the regional average. Conversely, health care & social assistance has a smaller footprint, accounting for 13.4% of local employment compared to 16.9% across the region. Comparison of the Census working population against the resident workforce suggests that local job opportunities within the immediate area are limited. According to AreaSearch analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader regions, the labor force shrank by 5.1% over the 12-month period, while employment dropped by 6.4%, leading to a 1.3 percentage point increase in the unemployment rate. In comparison, Regional NSW experienced a 0.9% drop in employment, a 0.4% contraction in the labor force, and a 0.5 percentage point rise in unemployment. National forecasts from Jobs and Skills Australia released in May-25 offer additional perspective on prospective employment trends. These projections, spanning five and ten-year horizons, have been applied to the local workforce structure. Although national employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by industry. Weighting these projections against the local industry mix indicates that employment for residents could rise by 6.0% over five years and 12.7% over ten years, assuming current distributions hold.

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 — 70 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (2,721 at the 2021 Census → 2,887 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.
