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 Feb 2026, Jordan Springs' population is estimated at around 13,981, reflecting an increase of 2,209 people (18.8%) since the 2021 Census which reported a population of 11,772. This change was inferred from AreaSearch's resident population estimate of 13,650 based on latest ERP data release by ABS in June 2024 and an additional 177 validated new addresses since the Census date. This results in a density ratio of 1,436 persons per square kilometer, above average national locations assessed by AreaSearch. Jordan Springs' growth exceeded SA4 region (6.5%) and state levels, marking it as a growth leader. Natural growth contributed approximately 43.0% to overall population gains during recent periods, with all drivers including interstate migration and overseas migration being positive factors. For projections until 2041, AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia data released in 2024 using 2022 as base year for covered areas, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections released in 2022 with 2021 as base year for uncovered areas.

Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas from these aggregations until 2041. Based on aggregated SA2-level projections, the suburb is expected to increase by 1,600 persons to 2041, reflecting a total increase of 9.1% over the 17 years.

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

AreaSearch analysis shows Jordan Springs averaging approximately 94 new dwelling approvals annually over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 471 homes. In FY-26 so far, 24 approvals have been recorded. This results in around 7.3 new residents per year arriving per dwelling constructed between FY-21 and FY-25, indicating demand significantly exceeds supply, which typically leads to price growth and increased buyer competition. New properties are constructed at an average expected cost of $504,000, suggesting a focus on the premium segment with upmarket properties.

Commercial development approvals this financial year total $9.4 million, showing balanced commercial development activity. Compared to Greater Sydney, Jordan Springs exhibits moderately higher construction activity, being 43.0% above the regional average per person over the past five years. This balances buyer choice while supporting current property values, although recent activity has eased slightly. Recent construction comprises 31.0% detached houses and 69.0% townhouses or apartments, indicating a shift towards higher-density living to provide more affordable entry points for downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. This marks a notable change from the area's existing housing composition of currently 90.0% houses.

With around 640 people per dwelling approval, Jordan Springs reflects a highly mature market. Future projections estimate Jordan Springs will add approximately 1,269 residents by 2041, based on the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing favourable conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
