Currans Hill

Currans Hill lies within the top quartile of areas nationally for population growth performance according to AreaSearch analysis of recent, and medium to long-term trends

Currans Hill's population, as of November 2025, is approximately 7,523 people. This figure represents a growth of 1,078 individuals since the 2021 Census, which recorded a population of 6,445. The increase is inferred from ABS estimates: 7,365 residents in June 2024 and an additional 570 validated new addresses post-Census. This results in a population density of 1,064 persons per square kilometer, comparable to averages seen across other locations assessed by AreaSearch. Currans Hill's growth rate of 16.7% since the Census exceeds both its SA3 area (6.9%) and the state average, positioning it as a region leader in population growth. Interstate migration contributed significantly to this growth, accounting for approximately 46.7% of overall population gains during recent periods.

However, all factors including natural growth and overseas migration were positive contributors. AreaSearch employs ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, NSW State Government's SA2 level projections are used, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for the years 2032 to 2041. Based on projected demographic shifts, Currans Hill is forecasted to experience significant population growth, with an expected increase of 2,166 persons by 2041, reflecting a total gain of 26.7% over the seventeen-year period.
