As of Nov 2025, the estimated population for the Jordan Springs statistical area (Lv2) is around 13,974. This reflects an increase of 2,202 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 11,772.

The Jordan Springs (SA2)'s 18.7% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA4 region's 6.3%, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth was primarily driven by natural growth contributing 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. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the Jordan Springs (SA2) is expected to expand by 1,479 persons to 2041, reflecting an increase of 5.9% in total over the 17 years.
