AreaSearch uses ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data and years post-2032, Queensland State Government's SA2 area projections from 2023 based on 2021 data are adopted. These state projections do not provide age category splits, so AreaSearch applies proportional growth weightings in line with ABS Greater Capital Region projections released in 2023 and based on 2022 data for each age cohort. Demographic trends forecast a significant population increase in the top quartile of regional areas nationally by 2041, with Eumundi-Yandina expected to gain 3,452 persons, reflecting a total increase of 23.1% over the 17-year period based on the latest annual ERP population numbers.
