AreaSearch is adopting ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with 2022 as the base year, and NSW State Government's SA2 level projections for areas not covered by this data, 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 forecast to experience a significant population increase, with an expected growth of 2,166 persons to 2041 based on the latest population numbers, recording a gain of 22.4% in total over the 17 years.
