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, as of Nov 2025, Jubilee Pocket's population is estimated at around 2,267. This reflects an increase of 220 people since the 2021 Census, which reported a population of 2,047. The change was inferred from AreaSearch's estimation of the resident population at 2,187 following examination of the latest ERP data release by the ABS in June 2024, along with an additional 12 validated new addresses since the Census date. This level of population equates to a density ratio of 572 persons per square kilometer. Jubilee Pocket's growth rate of 10.7% since the 2021 census exceeded the SA4 region (7.8%) and the non-metro area, marking it as a growth leader in the region. Population growth was primarily driven by overseas migration contributing approximately 57.99999999999999% of overall population gains during recent periods.

AreaSearch adopts ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, and Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections released in 2023 based on 2021 data for years post-2032. For areas not covered by ABS/Geoscience Australia data, proportional growth weightings are applied in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 based on 2022 data. Anticipating future population dynamics, a significant increase is forecasted for the Jubilee Pocket SA2, expected to reach 2,857 persons by 2041 based on aggregated SA2-level projections, reflecting an increase of 36.1% in total over the 17 years.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development activity positions Jubilee Pocket among the top 25% of areas assessed nationwide

AreaSearch analysis of ABS building approval numbers in Jubilee Pocket shows an average of 13 new dwelling approvals per year. Between FY-21 and FY-25, 67 homes were approved, with a further 4 approved in FY-26 to date. This averages out to approximately 4.1 people moving to the area for each dwelling built over these five financial years.

The supply of dwellings is lagging behind demand, which can lead to heightened buyer competition and pricing pressures. Developers are focusing on the premium market, with an average construction value of $1,982,000 per property. Commercial approvals this year amount to $1.9 million, indicating a predominantly residential focus.

Compared to the rest of Queensland, Jubilee Pocket has similar development levels per person, maintaining market balance. However, there has been an increase in development activity recently. Recent construction comprises 81.0% detached dwellings and 19.0% townhouses or apartments, preserving the area's low density nature and attracting space-seeking buyers. There are approximately 85 people per dwelling approval in the location, indicating an expanding market. Population forecasts suggest Jubilee Pocket will gain 818 residents by 2041. At current development rates, housing supply may struggle to match population growth, potentially heightening buyer competition and supporting price increases.
