For any SA2 areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch is utilising the NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, as released in 2022 with 2021 as the base year. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are also applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. As we examine future population trends, lower quartile growth of national statistical areas is anticipated, with the area expected to increase by 872 persons to 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers, reflecting an increase of 0.1% in total over the 17 years.
