Jordan Springs

Jordan Springs lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

As of November 2025, Jordan Springs' population is estimated at around 13,820. This reflects an increase of 2,048 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 11,772. The change is inferred from AreaSearch's estimate of 13,541 residents following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 178 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 1,420 persons per square kilometer, above the average seen across national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Jordan Springs' growth of 17.4% since the 2021 census exceeded both the SA4 region (5.5%) and the state, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Natural growth contributed approximately 43.0% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including interstate migration and overseas migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections for areas not covered by this data, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Considering projected demographic shifts, a population increase just below the median of statistical areas across the nation is expected. The suburb is expected to expand by 1,486 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 7.2% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential approval activity sees Jordan Springs among the top 30% of areas assessed nationwide

Based on AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data, Jordan Springs recorded around 94 residential properties granted approval each year. Over the past five financial years, between FY-21 and FY-25, approximately 472 homes were approved, with an additional 11 approved so far in FY-26. This results in a significant demand for new residents, estimated at around 7.3 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed over the past five financial years.

Consequently, this high demand often leads to price growth and increased buyer competition. The average construction value of new properties is approximately $504,000. In terms of commercial development activity, there have been $9.6 million in commercial approvals this financial year, suggesting balanced commercial development in Jordan Springs relative to Greater Sydney. Compared to the regional average per person over the five-year period, Jordan Springs has slightly more development at 41.0%. However, construction activity has eased recently.

Recent construction comprises approximately 31.0% detached dwellings and 69.0% attached dwellings, marking a significant shift from existing housing patterns, which are currently 90.0% houses. This change is likely due to diminishing developable land availability and evolving lifestyle preferences and housing affordability needs. The location has approximately 625 people per dwelling approval, indicating an established market. Population forecasts suggest Jordan Springs will gain around 990 residents through to 2041 based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. Given current development patterns, new housing supply should readily meet demand, offering good conditions for buyers and potentially facilitating population growth beyond current projections.
