Jordan Springs has an estimated 13,963 residents, up from 11,772 at the 2021 Census — a change of 2,191 people, or 18.6%. Growth has averaged 5.3% a year over five years, faster than 90% of areas nationally. 177 new addresses have been validated here since Census night. Natural increase accounts for 43.0% of that increase. That puts 1,435 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 analysis of ABS demographic updates for the wider region and new addresses verified by AreaSearch since the Census, the population of the suburb of Jordan Springs is calculated to be approximately 13,963 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 2,191 people (18.6%) from the 2021 Census, which counted 11,772 residents. This shift is determined from a resident population of 13,944, which AreaSearch estimated using the ABS's June 2025 ERP release, combined with an additional 177 validated new addresses identified since the Census date. With these figures, the population density stands at 1,435 persons per square kilometer, exceeding the average across national locations analyzed by AreaSearch.
The suburb of Jordan Springs's 18.6% growth rate since the 2021 Census outperformed the SA4 region (6.0%) and the state, positioning it as a leading growth area. Natural increase was the main contributor, accounting for roughly 43.0% of the overall population rise in recent times, though all other factors, such as interstate and overseas migration, also registered gains. ABS and Geoscience Australia projections released in 2024 (using 2022 as a base year) are adopted by AreaSearch for each SA2 area. For regions where this data is unavailable, SA2 projections from the NSW State Government released in 2022 (using 2021 as a base year) are applied. Age bracket growth rates from these datasets are projected forward for the years 2032 to 2041. Looking at future demographics, the suburb of Jordan Springs is projected to experience a population expansion slightly under the national median, growing by 1,357 residents by 2041 based on compiled SA2 projections, which translates to a total increase of 9.6% over the 16 years.
Frequently Asked Questions - Population
458 new dwellings have been approved in Jordan Springs over the past five years, an average of 91 a year. That places the area in the 69th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 7 approvals per 1,000 residents a year. Of the 86 dwellings approved in the latest reporting year, 30% were detached houses and the rest townhouses or apartments. Approvals are currently running at an annualised 34, well below 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
According to building approval figures from the ABS allocated across statistical areas, Jordan Springs has averaged approximately 91 residential approvals per year, summing to an estimated 458 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, 32 approvals have been logged. With an average of 7 new residents per year for every home built between FY-21 and FY-25, construction is failing to keep pace with demand, which typically intensifies buyer rivalry and drives up prices. Newly approved residences carry an average estimated construction cost of $504,000, indicating that developers are prioritizing upscale projects.
Furthermore, commercial approvals totaling $9.4 million have been recorded this financial year, showing moderate non-residential development. Construction activity in Jordan Springs is somewhat elevated compared to Greater Sydney, tracking at 30.0% above the regional per capita average over the 5 year period, which helps preserve options for buyers while maintaining demand for existing properties, despite a recent deceleration in building activity. Newly approved housing consists of 30.0% detached houses and 70.0% townhouses or apartments. This emphasis on higher-density options offers more affordable entry points, appealing to downsizers, investors, and first-home buyers. This marks a clear departure from the current housing mix (where houses make up 90.0%), pointing to a decline in vacant residential land, evolving lifestyle preferences, and the demand for more varied, economical housing options. With approximately 835 residents per approval, Jordan Springs displays characteristics of an established, mature community. Projections indicate that Jordan Springs will add 1,338 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimates from AreaSearch. If building activity maintains its current pace, the supply of new housing will easily satisfy demand, creating favorable buying opportunities and potentially helping the population expand faster than current forecasts suggest.

7,900 residents of Jordan Springs are employed, from a labour force of 8,065. Unemployment sits at 2.0%, with participation at 79.8%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.6% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 10,319, about 74% 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
Jordan Springs possesses a highly educated labor force with strong representation in essential services, accompanied by an unemployment rate of only 2.0% according to statistical area data compiled by AreaSearch. In March 2026, employed residents numbered 7,900, while the local unemployment rate was 2.1% lower than the Greater Sydney rate of 4.1%. Workforce participation is exceptionally high at 79.8%, compared to the Greater Sydney average of 69.1%. Census data indicates that a substantial 34.1% of working residents operated from home, though this figure may have been affected by pandemic-related lockdowns.
The primary sectors employing local residents are health care & social assistance, retail trade, and construction. There is a particularly high concentration of workers in public administration & safety, with employment levels reaching 1.5 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles are underrepresented, accounting for 6.1% of employment compared to 11.5% across the region. The comparison between the census working population and the resident population suggests that local employment opportunities within the area itself are limited. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics aggregated from broader statistical regions, the labor force in Jordan Springs contracted by 3.6% over the 12 months leading to March 2026, while total employment fell by 3.6%, leaving the unemployment rate virtually unchanged. In contrast, Greater Sydney recorded a 1.9% increase in employment, a 1.9% growth in the labor force, and a slight decline in unemployment. National employment projections from May-25 published by Jobs and Skills Australia provide further context regarding future demand. These five and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. Although nationwide employment is projected to grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary considerably by industry. Weighting these sectoral projections against the local employment mix suggests that local employment would grow by 6.6% over five years and 13.6% over ten years, though this simple extrapolation does not account for localized population trends.

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 — 177 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (11,772 at the 2021 Census → 13,963 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.
