AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, as released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Considering projected demographic shifts, Currans Hill is forecasted to experience significant population increase, expected to grow by 1,868 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting a gain of 22.0% in total over the 16 years.

The level of residential development activity in Currans Hill was found to be higher than 90% of real estate markets across the country

Currans Hill has recorded approximately 62 residential properties granted approval annually. Over the past five financial years, from FY-21 to FY-25, a total of 311 homes were approved, with an additional 30 approved so far in FY-26.
