In German-English dictionaries: eifersuechtig = jealous and neidisch = envious.

I agree with you, far more people use neidisch than eifersuechtig in spoken german.

It would appear not: eifersuechtig = 166k Google hits neidisch = 235k hits

So, based on this rough research (obviously some sort of proper study of a real corpus rather just Google would be in order, but I think this is probably meaningful anyway) neidisch is used 8x more often in German than envious is in English.
