High rental demand and a workforce heavily active in tourism shape the character of Jubilee Pocket. This is a relatively young community where the typical resident is 37, and a high proportion of people live in de facto relationships. With many residents arriving from overseas and a significant number moving in recently, the area feels transient. It is a place where most people are working or looking for work, which helps explain the high proportion of renters compared to other areas.
