Jubilee Pocket

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

Based on analysis of ABS population updates for the broader area, and new addresses validated by AreaSearch, the suburb of Jubilee Pocket's population is estimated at around 2,209 as of Nov 2025. This reflects an increase of 162 people (7.9%) since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,047 people. The change is inferred from the resident population of 2,180 estimated by AreaSearch following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024 and an additional 12 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 557 persons per square kilometer. The suburb's 7.9% growth since the 2021 census exceeded the SA4 region's 7.5%, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth for the area was primarily driven by overseas migration, contributing approximately 58% of overall population gains during recent periods, although all drivers including natural growth and interstate migration were positive factors.

AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, and for years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections are adopted, released in 2023 and based on 2021 data. These state projections do not provide age category splits; hence where utilised, AreaSearch is applying proportional growth weightings in line with the ABS Greater Capital Region projections for each age cohort, released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Considering the projected demographic shifts, a significant population increase in the top quartile of non-metropolitan areas nationally is forecast. The suburb is expected to increase by 786 persons to 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 39.5% in total over the 17 years.

Residential development activity is lower than average in Jubilee Pocket according to AreaSearch's national comparison of local real estate markets

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers allocated from statistical area data shows Jubilee Pocket has experienced around 15 dwelling approvals per year over the past five financial years, totalling an estimated 76 homes. As of FY26, 1 approval has been recorded. On average, 3.6 new residents have arrived annually per dwelling constructed between FY21 and FY25.

This supply lagging demand suggests heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures, with new homes being built at an average value of $1,982,000, indicating a focus on the premium segment. Compared to the rest of Qld, Jubilee Pocket has similar development levels per person, maintaining market balance. However, recent construction comprises 74.0% detached dwellings and 26.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the area's low density nature with an emphasis on detached housing attracting space-seeking buyers.

The estimated population count of 752 people per dwelling approval reflects its quiet development environment. Population forecasts indicate Jubilee Pocket will gain 872 residents by 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.

This contrasts with Rest of Qld where employment rose by 1.8%, labour force grew by 2.0%, and unemployment increased slightly by 0.2 percentage points. Jobs and Skills Australia's national employment forecasts from Sep-22 suggest potential future demand within Jubilee Pocket. These projections estimate a 6.6% increase in national employment over five years and 13.7% over ten years, with varying growth rates across industry sectors. Applying these projections to Jubilee Pocket's current employment mix indicates a potential local employment growth of 5.4% over five years and 11.5% over ten years, though it is important to note this is a simplified extrapolation for illustrative purposes and does not account for localized population projections.
