This figure is an increase of 179 people from the 2021 Census total of 15,264, indicating a growth rate of approximately 1.2%.

AreaSearch is adopting 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 from 2022 with a base year of 2021 are used. Growth rates by age group are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. By 2041, the population is projected to decline by 31 persons according to this methodology. However, specific age cohorts like the 75 to 84 group are expected to grow, with a projected increase of 597 people in this cohort.
