The town is located on the western coast of the mainland, along the shore of the Idsefjorden, about {{convert|20|km}} northeast of the city of Stavanger. It sits along the Norwegian National Road 13 a short distance southeast of the village of Tau where the new Ryfast tunnel is being constructed.[2]

The {{convert|4.09|km2|acre|adj=on}} town has a population (2015) of 6,948 which gives the town a population density of {{convert|1699|PD/km2}}.[3] Jørpeland is also known as "Pulpit Rock City", because Jørpeland is nearest city to the Preikestolen, which attracts tourists from all over the world. The Preikestolen is a huge cliff overlooking the Lysefjorden and it sits about {{convert|10|km}} southeast of Jørpeland.

Jørpeland became designated as a town by the municipal council on 1 April 1998. Prior to that time it was simply considered a very large village. Jørpeland is divided into nine boroughs: Leite, Barka, Tungland, Barkved, Jøssang, Førland, Langeland, Grønnevoll, and Fjelde. The river Jørpelandsåna runs through the town before emptying into the fjord on the south side of the town.
